Big W sale ended and no longer allows guest checkout so I went to good old eBay. Cheaper but should do the job. Had the parcels sent to a nearby business for collection due to thieves.

Had to put our cat down last night. Poor little thing was sick all week, multiple vet visits and she deteriorated rapidly last night. Started as tummy issues but turned into a massive infection and didn't respond to treatment.

Absolutely devastated.

Please hug your pets extra today.

[โ€“] anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Iโ€™m so sorry, itโ€™s such a hard thing to go through

[โ€“] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 0 points 1 year ago

It was bad. She was pretty young too. We'll manage but the house is so empty right now.

[โ€“] Eagle@aussie.zone 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Its the hardest thing to do. Mine have been hugged for yours โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

[โ€“] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you. Hug them a few more times ;)

Thanks. Little dog better get some extra treats today.

[โ€“] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Rough.

So sorry to hear that.

[โ€“] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 0 points 1 year ago

Thanks. The shock of it all took a lot out of us.

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's a tough decision to make, but so good of you to not let the little one suffer any more. Sending you and the fam lots of love and warmth!

[โ€“] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 0 points 1 year ago

Thanks, she was getting so bad even the vets said it's low chances she'll make it. Wish I could have hugged her more.

[โ€“] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So sorry for you and your fam. So devastating to lose one so young.

What should I make with this pile of diced goat? Not jerk/Jamaican curry. Has bones so not pie suitable.

[โ€“] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Slow cooked indian curry like this

Goat slaps when cooked and seasoned right.

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That looks promising. Am def a cardamom fan.

[โ€“] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

'Sweetish' spices work really well with goat. Birria tacos use goat and cinnamon. You're going to feast like a medieval royal.

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 0 points 1 year ago (9 children)

Ha! Medieval cookery is actually a thing of mine. Some [ingredient], enough, until it be done. Fuck your scales & thermometers!

You could stew it to get the bones out then make pie.

Second this.

Only 7 years lol

Got a decent sleep!!!!

Mild headache from sleeping like a clown but eh I'll take what I can get.

No gym today. It's the last weekday of freedom before I lock into study and the full job hunt next week. Yeeha.

Stressful two weeks at work doing new complicated stuff. Also has been late shifts which always take it outta me. Almost there, TGIF
