  • I didn’t get out of bed today. Slept all day. Not sick, at least I don’t think so, but I just could not be fucked.

    I did some laundry before turning in so I’m going to spoon with the old baby until it’s time to feed her and then maybe do some folding if it’s dry. There’s paperwork I should at least start. Also the vitamin d weekly tablet I haven’t been taking.

    Deciding whether I should try to take something at midnight in an attempt to sleep through.



  • Melbcat asked for uppies today and proceeded to have a long cuddle and scritches with a visitor! That was so cute. She pouted and sulked when cuddle time had to end before she was ready.

    spoiler

    She’s still crying and wanting extra food (among a couple of other things) so I called the vet again about steroids for ibd flare. They talked about the side effects, blamed the osmolax, told me to monitor and call back Monday.

    It seems they don’t want to deal with it but I keep calling to stay on it as long as she’s not feeling well. If there’s anything I can do for her comfort I will.

    I’ve managed to screw up my sleeping pattern again.










  • Cat tmi, poo talk

    Melbcat has been to the vet because she started crying again… it may be that the accidents were from overcompensating with the osmolax, and now it’s been drastically reduced she’s crying again possibly due to the constipation returning.

    There will be a small regular dose (say 1/8tsp) that will slowly increase until a balance is found.

    I feel a bit silly but relieved that that could have been it. It’s ok. I’m her mum and it’s my job to worry.



  • Yep… the social media age verification was the thin end of the wedge.

    The answer to kids accessing age inappropriate content is education and parental supervision, not censoring the internet and infringing on all the adults. But then the government couldn’t push laws to increase surveillance and receive popular support.

    I really wish I’d had the time and energy to degoogle and had never started using cloud storage. I’m going to have to back up all of my photos in case I lose access when I refuse to hand over my ID. (Which I should have already done.)

    I also really should have switched to Duck Duck Go ages before this
