    Decided not to have a wild one tonight. Mood was a bit eh for historical reasons, but still go to see my friends which is awesome.

    All in all, a really great day.

    Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes, you guys are amazing. You’ve all been an incredible support during some of the hardest times I’ve had in recent memory.

    Thank you, from the bottom of my heart ❤️❤️❤️

    Time for some ambient and down tempo music making I think.

    Banannana planted! Went to add the babaco and found out its somehow gotten fckn wet feet and rotting out. Carved up for sticks, two hormoned and in sand, the rest to try the traditional ‘dry a few day’s before planting’.

    Apart from that, shit day for a shit week

    Okay, for all that I’ve whinged today, I am pretty damn chuffed with how much I’ve moved out at short notice on Marketplace. Super happy that a big bench is going tonight. Gone are a whole heap of side tables/plant stands. The elephant in the room is the effing couch. I will have to just move it to my friend’s myself and we will problem-solve from there.

    It’s kind of interesting meeting all these randos who are grateful for a good bargain and they all come with their own little stories. All walks of life, ethnicities, cars, clothes…

    Today was a big day but the party went great. These council community centres are perfect for parties like this. I could tell things were going well when people didn’t start leaving immediately after cake and presents. We just left out some toys and large janga and connect four and all the kids had a great time

    Fucking wow… I don’t expect anything at Yarraville to be a rager, but this crowd might as well have oxygen tanks.

    Melbcat is sometimes refusing to eat her wet food which means I have to crush/mix her meds into a syringe, get her in a very gentle headlock and feed it to her directly… not ideal for either of us.

    She’s also vitamin B deficient from an absorption difficulty so

    injections

    needs monthly shots at the vet… she should be having them weekly but I’m scared to accidentally hurt her when doing them at home.

     

    I know cats go nuts for brewers yeast and Marmite has B12 (I think Vegemite doesn’t) but it’s salty which is bad for her kidneys. So I bought some nutritional yeast and sprinkled a pinch. Yes, she likes it. She ate some of her meal.

    She still needs to be wrangled to give the antibiotics directly, same for the anti nausea stuff which she absolutely needs right now. But I’ll remember this for when we can go back to only the normal meds that can just mix into the food.

    Three more cupboards gone! 🎉 Just four more to go. If I don’t sell them soon they are going on the naturestrip with a “free” sign on them.

      I’ve been playing the Marketplace tango all day today myself! Gosh, what I would do for a naturestrip outside my place so I could just unload stuff that won’t move.

        It is definitely frustrating. Some people don’t seem to have the skills to be able to organise a time to get things. I’m not sure if it is a communication issue or an inability to commit to anything in advance but I’ve had a few people that seem interested but just don’t seem to be able to make a time.

          I feel like many people treat FBM as window shopping - they like the thrill of inquiring about buying something and pretending they have it but then don’t bother committing to picking it up.

          I’ve had a few wins so far and pocketed some cash which is nice. I can see why people do a whole side hustle with this - though the cons would outweigh the pros for me pretty fast heh.

          I realise I should’ve gotten an idea of what I needed to cull a lot earlier though. Thankfully my angel of a friend has offered to let me dump all the crap at hers so it can be flogged/hard rubbished/sent to the tip.
