Everyone welcome @RoseLemon@aussie.zone who may or may not become a regular.

Thank you all for the advice and kind words yesterday.

Ended up calling them last night. I don't think I'm going to 'get my way' here with an assessment.

Speaking to her, she's refusing to eat the soup I did for her because I'm pushing for this assessment. She tried to make her own but the way she does it isn't balanced. Might have been spite, or she's trying to prove she doesn't need to get checked out or both.

Their 8 days away without proper nutrition has done a number on her mind (again).

So going to have to capitulate and just accept it isn't going to happen.

Sort of had a feeling this might backfire. Still think it's the correct thing to do though but I'm backing off.

No point feeling bad about it, was worth a go. Heading back to melbs tm to try and pick up the pieces.

while making breakfast I was looking out the kitchen window, 2nd story looks onto street

I saw a woman I did not recognise stop in front of my neighbours house, take a photo of the house number, then take photos of pot plants. ( It's a very small suburb and at this hour we get joggers, dog walkers and people going to the train station, I recognise nearly everyone )

then she did the same at my place, took photos of front of house with numbers and took pictures of pot plants

I rapped on the window hard and she walked away quickly, then I yelled at her from the balcony and told her I would tell my neighbours and we would move everything

she said she was looking at nice flowers and using google because she wants to know what they are so she can make a nice garden for her son . Did not say sorry. She hurried away 🤨

I've read anything I can get my hands on written by Jane Harper lately, but was recently struggling with a book that seemed too romancey and uninteresting to me. Wow, what a disappointing departure in style, I thought. Where is the gritty tension of The Dry I thought. Realised it was by Jane E Harper, completely different person 🤦🏼‍♀️At least Iain Banks and Iain M Banks were the same person!

Edit: included a book title by a third unrelated person 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ Unexpected days off leave me bumble-headed and lacking mental structure 😆

I have, in a burst of productivity, redone my first aid kit.

Thrown out the old/borderline expired stuff, added some items for the kind of incidents I know I have and so on. I have

• 1x pair nitrile gloves, for dealing with anyone else’s mess if need be
• 2x alcohol disinfectant wipes
• 1x roll strapping tape
• 1x gauze dressing pad
• 1x small bottle of Betadine
• 1x box GOOD bandaids
• 1x small roll Hydralyte tabs (5 doses) for the “I’ve been pukey, now dehydrated AF” experience
• 1x box Panadol
• 1x tube aloe vera gel for burns
• 1x pack throat lozenges, my preferred
• 1x pair tweezers
• 1x pair scissors
• 1x eye drop guide thingy. I hate putting drops in, I flinch away if anything gets too near my eyes, but if I put this over the neck of an eye-drop bottle it’s less of an issue. I’ve had it for years, but now it’s in a known spot
• 1x thermometer

Please weigh in, DT? Have I forgotten anything, or put something redundant in?

Have to postpone gig till next week. Work bullshit. :(

The new Pistachio Papi Storm is delicious. 5/5 yum yums.

Good night every one

sweet dreams 😘

Between Monday and today I have slid VERY quickly into the snot apocalypse. I feel sick 😫

possum stories

I saw a cute big brushie last night out in the park area across the road, I could see her pouch and I think she had young ones

a neighbour a few doors down had most of the leaves on their citrus trees eaten

a neighbour in the other direction has funny looking oranges, half peeled fruit hanging on the trees, possums ate the peel on the trees

I haven't seen the two ring tails since I shooed them away, the tree in the front yard might grow back
