    introductions go well

    (Kittens were coralled and Cerys made a graceful exit from the room and was fed crocodile bites for putting up with them for fifteen minutes)

    Why do I offer to host knowing it’ll throw me into an anxious mess? Thankfully it’s only coffee for Boyo’s sister and her partner, but I’m still like urg

      I freaked out a bit throwing the partay. Last time I did a little gathering like that was about 20 yrs ago, and we were all high after clubbing so it was easy lol.

      How people manage the stress of hosting big ones is very much beyond me.

    I saw this recipe on Insta for baking hot cross buns in something like a custard sauce, with milk / cream / butter / sugar / eggs and a few other things. I’m not sure if this is some Easter tradition I missed out on growing up but knew I had to make it. This is now my lunch.

    Almost all done w/ the downpipes.

    Last steps is to flush it then put bicarb and cleaning vinegar down each one, wait over night then flush with hot water (going up ladders w/ hot water will probably win me the darwin award).

    It rained a bit last night and the downpipe outside my bedroom was flowing very nicely so seemingly this whole wasn’t a waste of time.

    Cleaning

    Checking the Bissels at the GGs. Powerforce Pet is $299 at the moment and another with steam is $479 (hard floor cleaner)… ending April 8. Vax compact carpet washer is $219. The Kmart generic is $119 which is more my budget but I wonder about the vacuum quality and therefore the water removal and drying.

    Hate having carpet. Whose idea was this? Considering just spraying it down with diluted benzalkonium chloride from one of those big sprayers or using a cheap handheld steamer bought off eBay. But it is kinda grubby and I’m a bit worried about leaving on the toxic to cats carpet foam spray I used 😕

    TW grief/mental health

    Grief has combined with everything else going on and has pushed me into an actual mental health crisis. I’m getting help and all but my god this sucks. I just wish it would end.

    Starting Endep at a very low dose to try and dull this abdominal pain because it’s worsened under stress and so severe I can barely eat.

    I had the bright idea of using an antifungal pump spray on the cat’s legs as a quicker application (because he doesn’t stay still and pulls his legs away). It just scared him.

    I’m feeling so stressed and trapped about the whole situation. The loss of Melbcat has severely destabilised me, I don’t know how to solve this, and my own treated lesion seems to be coming back. Ignoring the cat and not helping him is not an option. I’m just going in circles here.

    I’ve contacted the rescuer again. Asking if I can get some oral medication for him. Explaining my difficulties with topical. And about being unable to get help from the vet or find his owners. Asking if I would be able to successfully treat him in the community or if I should surrender him to her organisation :(

    I’m going to go put a found poster outside where I was told these alleged owners live, but it’s highly possible they could have moved or just don’t give a damn 🫩

        The easy way is to do nothing (no) or surrender him to the kill shelter (no). Letting this continue means I stay on the ringworm hamster wheel and that is breaking me.

        There’s no easy answer so I’m asking this lady if I can get some oral treatment for him or if I should surrender him to this rescue (which will skip the pound and take him to foster).

          the easy answer is do what you need to/want to in the easiest way possible and don’t fret

          ringworm in humans is not such a difficult thing and it’s not dangerous, just paint liquid daktarin a few times and it’s gone, so don’t fret, you’ll be ok

            I can’t help it. My brain has gone out of control in the worst way. And my immune system is really weak so it may not be able to beat it.

            I put up a few posters near the spot. The lady is going to call me about getting him some tablets. I still have no idea what to do about him (and he’s started trying to kill the magpies)

    My fruit & veg box has arrived for the month. I have lots of cauliflower (destined for soup) and a huge amount of grapes. The lettuce however was extremely tiny, which is probably a good thing as I still have more than expected left from last month - the change to cooler weather has slowed down my salad intake somewhat.
