Any improvement Sammi had was minimal, so I phoned the vet and they’ve admitted her for observation and further tests (including hopefully an abdominal ultrasound).
Cross fingers for us.❤️🤞🐾

I’m having an unbelievably hard time of life. I’m just not getting a break.
Melbcat is feeling more comfortable with adequate pain relief though, ate some wet food and is cuddling. I’m waiting for Tuesday and counting down to receiving the antibiotics
🫂
I’m sorry Melb, lots of hugs and fingers crossed for you and melbcat
🫂
many hugs and kisses
and if you ever need anything just drop a line

Awesome. 🥤

luv youse all 😘 have a nice arvo
You too mate 👍
I was surprised by the Wattle Festival and just the sheer size of it yesterday. We only did part of the main street of Hurstbridge and we hardly got to the whole thing.
I was going to go last year - they were running steam train specials out to Hurstbridge. Don’t know if they did that this year. Unfortunately we missed our train which made us miss the other trains and it wasn’t possible to recover from, even though it was a shuttle train
Yes, they had the steam train out again. I might try to get the kids on there next year because they were getting tired around 11 and we had afternoon plans. We got to see it leave before we headed off at least
For those going to the CFMEU protest tomorrow, be advised the location has been changed to the Trades Hall due to expected large crowd.
What’s being protested
Here’s a quote from the ETU:
We’ve had Royal commissions into the severe misconduct of the banking and finance sector, the Robodebt scandal, and the aged care sector. Each of these Royal commissions had DAMMING FINDINGS, yet NOT ONE person lost their job, NOT ONE company was put into administration, and NOBODY went to JAIL!
The CFMEU on the other hand - one of Australia’s strongest unions, is now FORCED straight into administration on the back of a handful of rumours and allegations.
The HYPOCRISY is staggering!!
We call on all jobs to stop at 10am this Tuesday to support the CFMEU and attend a Rally at the State Library[*] 11am sharp!
Let’s fight for our wages and conditions!
Let’s fight for the future!
Let’s all stand together!
SEE YOU ALL THERE!!!* Note the venue has genuinely changed to Trades Hall as of about 11 AM today.
So their argument is: some other bigwigs were corrupt, and government stuffed up robodebt, therefore we should be allowed to continue being corrupt thugs on building sites! If that’s the best argument they’ve got, they’re in trouble.
I think it would be more politically astute to accept the charges
and protest outside of federal liberal party headquarters demanding equal action on political corruption
Vet just called - as before, nothing detected in the external examination and nothing in the blood tests. They’re going to x-ray her and if nothing shows up on that, organise an ultrasound. Also they’ll give her fluids and an anti nausea injection since she has been vomiting on and off since Thursday.
so many gentle hugs and good wishes
Thank you 😊
You wish they could just tell you what’s going on.
You do 😕
This TAFE course seems pretty fun. The wifi signal down this end of the house is abysmal though, and because the repeater I had laying around needs LoS to the router, it doesn’t actually help at all.
I was meant to do a janky under house ethernet setup today but the person I had convinced to crawl into the spiders lair (aka under the house) is sick. As soon as I do I swear I’m setting up a janky mesh network
Anyway the course seems nice. I like the diversity. There’s more people around my age than I thought there’d be, as well as a few older people. The trainer gives off nice but stern aunty vibes too, but seems sweet
Also also, every time I have to meet new people, I’m always astounded by how close my mental pictures are. Just through 1-2 emails and their name and role, I can usually figure out what they’ll look like before I ever actually meet them. It’s like a party trick at this point
LOL that’s hilarious. There is actually that stray cat that everyone thinks is a massive chonker, but is actually just really floofy. It seems happy to go wherever if there’s a bit of ham involved, maybe that’s a solid idea!
I just finished. It was nice. I still don’t really know wtaf I’m doing, and feel rather out of place, but there’s a bit of an uncontrollable smile on my face at the moment
Good lord. Spotify free version doesn’t even let me play a single song I want to hear, just a playlist that includes it. What a disaster
I never joined and don’t listen . Once last.fm died as a music player I gave up enrolling and getting subs and apps
Android? There’s a few modded Spotify clients floating around. I used to use one back before I had pocket money.
I’ve actually been considering going back to one in priest, cause they don’t consider high school students to be friends. I was annoyed but not downright pissed about that. But I checked if my new course would land me the student pricing, but nah, they either don’t consider TAFE students to be students, or don’t consider my school to be a TAFE
I can afford normal Spotify, so perhaps I’m not in the target demographic, but it just annoyed me that they keep pushing their discounts in my face and then at the last minute being like “jokes! You don’t count.”
NASA has decided to get the astronauts who went up on a crippled Boeing star liner to return on a space X next year. in short: they dont trust the spacecraft for human flight. You cant write fiction funnier than this.
Sounds more like a horror.
Russia have an emergency escape ship docked at all times. They arnt screwed. just more efficient to wait for the next American ship.
Geez this stranded astronaut thing is a schmozzle. They are doing a lot of ‘everything is fine’ PR, but it must be stressful to be stuck up there, and I’m sure there are some very tense discussions being had.
I feel really sorry for them, they certainly didn’t sign up for this. It reminds me of Sergei Krikalev, the guy who was stuck in space while the Soviet union collapsed and the country that sent him into space no longer existed.
I want to know why my very top lemon, at least 2.something metres up was eaten by something (guessing a rat) and they ignored the many lower ones. Is it sport? showing off? Big respect but that would not have been easy.
Fruit bat.
Ooh could be. I always suspected a possum, then rats and now a new culprit.
They eat the high up fruit
Went to check out a school with/for the eldest minipeeler. It seems like such a great fit for him. So hard to get a school that can help him with his anxiety, school refusal and need for re-engagement. It’s a tiny school though and they have such limited places. I’m not the praying kind but I’m praying for him to get accepted. We will formally begin the application process tomorrow for next year 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
🤞🤞
🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
🙏
So many hugs and kisses for eldest mini and hugs for you too for helping him find a good school.
One thing I’m really quite good at is packing to go on a trip really quickly. I’ve got like 3 laptops, an ipad, a 27" monitor, a media streamer, PS5 controller and all manner of cables, my clothes and my CPAP machine all fitting snuggly into my trusty suitcase. Then I have my backpack of stuff and a tote with foodstuffs and my blender. All took maybe 30-40 minutes and there was a shower in there too.
That’s a lot of electronics. I take my phone and a cable. That’s it.
There’s a shower… in your luggage? 🤔
Okay there’s a lot to unpack here…
D-do you need 3 laptops and a monitor? Why do you need 3 laptops and a monitor? How long are these trips? Drug dealers only have 2 phones, what purpose do 3 laptops serve? By media streamer do you mean like a Chromecast/whatever that Amazon knockoff is?
And why do you need to bring a shower in your bag?
When I took my 5 day or whatever it was trip to Mildura, I took my phone, my tablet, 2 cables, 3 power banks, and a pair of headphones. Similar story with Sydney and Adelaide
When I was away for 3 weeks at the various hotels/AirBnBs, I took my phone, laptop, tablet, headphones, a power bank, chargers and while I was at the BnB, I brought my PC and 1 monitor (I didn’t bring it with me to either of the 2 hotels), I also brought a raspberry pi planning on tinkering around with it to kill some time, but I unfortunately forgot the little mini micro nano HDMI thingy, so couldn’t actually do much with it (could’ve done some config and set up SSH without first setting up the pi but eh). And I thought that was a lot
This week’s shit weather is brought to you by my annual leave. Not. Happy. Jan.
