    I’ve been to body pump, had a walk, done two loads of washing, and made a frittata. I will be on the couch until further notice.

      I wanna go back to body pump, but have gotten so unfit that it scares me. But I also know how good it feels when it hits right!

      Enjoy your couch time!

    Cat medical

    The Melbaby got a day to decompress and then we went to the usual vet yesterday… her blood pressure kept climbing from stress so the next thing is a home visit. Hopefully that’s easier on her so we can get an accurate read and do something.

    I’m told that her eyes seemed ok or at least the things told to me seem better than the emergency doctor presented them. And she’s eating. Avoiding obstacles. But I’m still noticing some vision problems. I had to move a shifted water bowl back into position in front of her and audibly tap the edge. I’m not seeing her usual quick curious glance.

     

    Housing

    I’ve been told of another housing option but the organisation has a bad reputation. From my observations of the local place “run” by them it’s well deserved. And reviews mention them not addressing prolonged violent antisocial behaviour against other tenants - which is what I’m trying to avoid.

    I don’t know that I trust them. I’m not trying to uproot my whole life only to end up in the same situation or worse.

     

    TW suicide

    I’m struggling with how hard and unforgiving and never ending life feels and really struggling to function in a basic capacity. Wishing I had the guts to end it. Been feeling that way for a long time.

    Melbcat is my rock and my anchor. I’m not going to be able to handle it when she passes especially having to make that decision. So I think that is going to be a really high risk time for me.

      so many hugs

      and get a kitten. Melbcat will have someone to teach cat things to and to care for, it will be her cat legacy ❤️

        I think she’d be really stressed with a new cat, and she has chronic cat flu that she could transmit.

        It’s a shame. I did think about fostering kittens for her to play with but it’s a gamble and I’m actually not sure about my capabilities anymore or about bringing them into my situation.

    I didn’t mean to, but I also bought a copy of War and Peace today.

    I guess I know how I’m spending the heat

    Had a whole wedge of cheese bang on it’s best before date last night and no cheesemares so that’s nice.

    I’m thinking we go to a shopping centre this afternoon to escape the heat, and I’ve also been trying to pick up some of the cheap nick-nack shit Kmart has on clearance, but balancing where everything is in stock has been a headache

    Rolled outta bed late and dehydrated but still managed to hoist myself out to do the needful:

    ⛽ Car filled up

    🚘 Car given a long overdue clean and vac - tired of Monday’s gunk

    🌬️ Car tyres pumped although I still get the tyre pressure warning…

    🥕 Bought fruit and veg at my old shops on the way back (almost drove back to my old place out of habit 💔)

    🍲 That includes a shit tonne of vegan snags and easy cook shit at the Fancy Woollies which I miss DEARLY despite the shitty parking

    🍦 Grabbed half price ice cream and cheap chips from the shops across the road

    🧹 Vacuumed the joint

    🚿 Had a shower with hot water coming out of the cold tap, as usual on hot days, because this place sucks that way

    ❄️ Aircon on

    🍽️ About to have a late lunch

    That’s it. Staying PUT until Monday. I have plenty of food options. Window shades on my car windscreen because I’m not going anywhere. Need to buy a dash cover.

    So many Severence theories to catch up on and then time for this week’s The Pitt, then I’ll need to tackle the dishes and get round to reading Juice tonight.

    Another year, another ‘Rod run’ car show down here where people show off they’re stupidly exxy hot rods. Some of them are absolutely bonkers. Sounds like they’re hooning at the start of the bellarine highway but in reality they’re probably the most careful drivers on the road heh. Definitely worth a look if you’re into that sort of thing. I’m not but it’s impressive how much coin and time they put in. I wonder how many of them have aircon cause tm will be brutal if they don’t.

      I’d love to check out more of their events like that. It would be so good to watch those classics on the big screen properly
