Cat health
I forgot to mention that Melbcat still has her uti. It came back (or rather never left) after a 3 week blast of strong antibiotics that are only meant to be prescribed for 1 week max.
Iโve been informed that the resistant bacteria could prove dangerous to me as well if they continue giving her antibiotics and theyโve decided to focus on symptom management.
This fucking sucks. I briefly considered pursuing dodgy alternative medicine but itโs not worth the risks.
That sucks and I'm sorry. UTIs are notorious, I'm not surprised that the vets are concerned about antibiotic resistant bacteria infecting you, zoonotic infections can turn nasty so so quickly.
If you trust your vets, then it's worth following their advice. Otherwise you could try a second opinion.
Do not use alternative medicine for melbcat. Cats have so many intolerances and ingesting something "natural" that may have (at minimum) pesticides on it can lead to neurotoxicity. Trust yourself and your support network (vets, nurses) and if you want another opinion seek another vet.
You got this Melb, it's gonna be alright and you're doing great ๐๐

hanging out under the aircon together โ๏ธ
Have burnt out the fan. Might need to get out the camp bed for downstairs, but that means moving the 8000kg coffee table.
Weekend to myself. Fam is going down the bellarine (incl. bro/SIL/ankle biter and cat).
Would be expected to organise / cook etc. and I'm just not doing that.
Was hoping to head down this w/e and finish a choon I'm working on w/ the new 'puter and really push the retirement fund (RAM lol), but not worth the stress.
Surprisingly no guilt trip except from ol' girl who'll feel like she has to do all the things. Her food is sorted, the rest can fend for themselves.
Instead gonna day drink and make gyoza / springers for xmas lunch. The best form of therapy.
Have a blast!
Maybe I should day drink. I've only got at home plans today.
Today one of the furries will be evicted from the house. He's off to live with a companion named Popcorn. Hopefully Popcorn doesn't mind being dry humped in the face.
Poor popcorn :(
Yeah. Ah well.
Popcorn might be into it.
It's raining. I guess all that garden watering this morning wasn't necessary.
so tired
it's a day off, maybe I can sleep in a bit

Mango shaved ice please
Oh man, I recently made a sorbet from only mango and soft tofu and it's amazing.
That sounds interesting ๐ค I'd try it

Turns out a stomach bug is going through the house so I've decided to work from home instead off risking what would have otherwise been an interesting work trip to round out the year. I went in and showed my manager how to use some of our camera equipment so I'm praying we get some decent shots that I can turn around before the end of the day
Safe travels little fella
Phew the sex maniac is gone
I know right! The other 2 no longer have to keep their arses to the wall.
YL: The others don't like him.
Me: Oh gee. I wonder why.
Bye.
Byeeeeeee cutie!!
Adios Sir Humpalot.
Riiiight. The 2025 work year is OVER!!!!!! Pour me out some braindeath grog please.
I've traversed the bridge into the west. Its the child's 12th birthday and he wants to pat a dingo. So we go where there is 40 of them. ๐
Sounds fantastic! I got to pat Servals for my 40th
Last day of work is dragging already
Yup
I like warm days, like today. Not 40ยฐc but like 30-35ยฐc is nice. 21-25ยฐc is my preferred temps though.
The only real issue I have with summer and warm weather, is I have hyperhidrosis from my anti-sads, that really affect the palms of my hands. The amount of handwashing I do in summer to get rid of the sticky feeling is insane.
And the Triangle of Sweat that encapsulates my nose and upper lip, just sweaty all the time there, but that seems to run in my dad's side of the family lol.
Fudge. Need to go into the office on Monday. Someone is leaving and an employee (me in this case) is required to take their laptop and swipe card.
Told my manager that the favours are piling up.
I went on my lunch break and got sidetracked by the existence of my neighbourโs six day old baby. Very freshly hatched
Laaaaaaast day of the year.
Fuck yes!
