    Mrs B convinced my not to pull the trigger on the iphone 16 pro deals. My phone still works fine so shes convinced to me ride it out and just accept that you’ll have to pay more to replace mine when it actually dies (or develops a fault I cant deal with). If I end up paying 2.5k for a new iphone cause of trumps tarrifs I’m gonna be spewing but I guess thats future me’s problem.

    It smells like Spring, that sweet nighttime aroma wafting lazily through gardens and streets. I hear the beat of someone playing music, the distant sound of cars on the road, a low drone of overnight construction.

    My seat is still counting, but I think Peter Khalil will pull through, it’s very close though!

      He really cleaned up with the postal votes didn’t he. The 9,000+ people who voted for the liberal party in our area need to be slapped. He lives in Boronia FFS, and last year pleaded guilty to obtaining financial advantage by deception and was ordered to pay fines and compensation worth more than $10,000. He didn’t have a conviction recorded against his name so it wouldn’t have come up during a police check. People are entitled to vote how they want, but I’m also entitled to be shitty about it being a waste.

        It is almost as if they won’t let people in the Liberal Party unless they have run some sort of Scam, and gotten off.

        Zahid Safi still managed to get double the votes of Rhonda Garad in Bruce, despite the exposé in The Age.

    Melbcat won’t eat her 4cyte in food and it’s an oil so is dangerous to syringe into her mouth while she fights it.

    spoiler

    (You’re not supposed to give oil or paraffin based medicine to kids or animals that are struggling because of the risk of them breathing it in.)

    And I was hesitant because I wasn’t sure of some random plant oil and thought something else would work better. Only bought the 4cyte on vet recommendation. I might try and get that money back guarantee and buy something different.

    Edit: Ah shit. I’m within the 30 days but didn’t buy it from the vet, got it from Petcircle, so not eligible for money back. If you buy this get it from the vet and keep the receipt.

    She’s also possibly got a uti again so vet asap

    My French is better than I thought. I managed to direct/have a lengthy conversation with a French tourist who was gifted with enthusiastic but terrible English skills.

    I’ve also picked up a katsu curry bowl and am ready to withdraw into seclusion for the evening.

    A 20km drive home (freeway driving) took 40 minutes. Between that and just suchhhh a shitty day at work, I actually had to go to the gym or I’d have torn myself apart.

    Now sitting outside, enjoying the breeze.

      It’s great you’ve been able to reflect on things in that way.

      I wonder if there’s a balance, like two in the morning and one in the afternoon so you can get through work with enough energy at the end of the day without being too hyper.

      But I get the medicine probably doesn’t work that way

        Thanks man. I’m not describing it well.

        I feel completely personally detached from work. Like there is a barrier between me, and work me. My entire self was engulfed by work.

        Now it isn’t and it’s a great feeling!

        If that makes sense.

        I have been experimenting with dosages, and have found that works best.

    I’ve managed to sort out the microchip records for Mr Woof and Miss Meow - I somehow had two seperate accounts and could only access one. They have now been merged and I can access both records. It didn’t help that I had lost the number for Mr Woof’s chip and it’s taken me ages to find it.

    I discovered that Mr Woof was still listed under his prison ID, “Scampy”, a name that he hasn’t used since he was a puppy incarcerated at the Lost Dogs Home. It’s been fixed now, and I have the numbers securely recorded so I’ll be able to register them with the new council.

    Tooth yeeted. Thank goodness. A little worried about what the pain will be like and hoping it heals without complications but fingers crossed this gets it sorted.

    Vet appointment made for Melbcat tomorrow

    People are getting seasick on this ferry. I am not one of them (I don’t get seasick, I’m very comfortable on open water) but the ferry staff have checked on me twice.

    I can only assume they’ve seen me stand up and made the wrong guess
