Gibson is going for an operation tomorrow where she’ll be under anaesthetic and tbh I’m pretty worried.
It’s got to be done but yeah, fluffball is a real important part of my life and yeah. It’s stressful.
Melbcat had a general anaesthetic for a tooth extraction at 14yo and pulled up okay. Tomorrow is never promised but I hope that’s some reassurance.
Good luck to Gibson.
Edit: If it’s a tooth extraction I was told to give mine chunks of cooked meat afterwards instead of soft wet food that could get into the stitches.
If it’s a late spaying or something that leaves a wound she can potentially reach, remember that a baby shirt or onesie is an option to protect the site instead of or in addition to the cone. Tricksy little hobbits.
We’re here for you ❤️
sending so many healing thoughts 😘😘😘
Miss Meow bounced back from her general anaesthetic extremely quickly. She was back to normal the next day, much more resilient than Mr Woof who needed drugs and a cone on his head for a week.
I’ sending positive vibes her way. Stay strong :)
Good luck hope she recovers well!
Hope it goes well. Poor kitty.
Good on you for taking such good care of her!
Its tough. And wait until she protests about the lack of breakfast! Sending you both furry good wishes for a seamless experience.
🤞🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Good luck Gibson!
i have nowhere else to bitch to but listen to this bullshit that i have to go through in fucking perth for an ADHD diagnosis (transferred from NYC). i get the referral in june and submit it to the ADHD clinic of WA that shows availability from july. they tell me it takes upwards of 8 weeks to get the referral accepted. this took 10 weeks, they accepted. in order for me to book an appointment i need to pay a $200 deposit. i pay the $200 deposit, and the first appointment isn’t until the middle of january.
i’m fucking FURIOUS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
It’s probably because there has been a flood of ADHD and Autism diagnosis requests in the last few years due to greater awareness. And it takes 10+ years to train a psychiatrist. So there’s a sudden massive demand but no extra specialists. I know that doesn’t help the frustration but at least it might help explain the wait times.
That’s so shit seeing as you have a diagnosis already. Surely there is a way instead of getting rediagnosed? Do you already take meds?
If it’s any comfort, hust know that the places that have a shorter turnaround time are often shit.
Case in point. I waited like two months for my ADHD diagnosis through a clinic that did virtual appointments. Got diagnosed in half an hour. They gave me the wrong dose of medication and let’s just say, it was not a good time. Now I’m going to start a medication that the GP could’ve prescribed in the first place. The whole system is bonkers.
Yeah that’s absolutely fucked hey. Fuck that.
Unpopular (?) opinion: the two greatest TV shows ever are Iron Chef and Grand Designs
I used to watch a lot of Robot Wars. Betting and demolishing. Such fun.
Definitely good fun. I’m sorry but it’s not on the same level as my selections however
I loved Iron Chef. But may I add the original Good News Week?
You may, a classic
Antiques Roadshow would like a word.
I honestly thought about adding it to the list. I used to rush home from school to watch it on ABC. I maintain that my two are better though
I haven’t seen either of these.
Same reply as to Seagoon: Omg you’re missing out. Lots of iron chef full episodes are on YouTube if you wanna check it out
Maybe when I get something installed. Newpipe might be good
I haven’t seen any of these shows other than Bender being Iron Chef.
Omg you’re missing out. Lots of iron chef full episodes are on YouTube if you wanna check it out
Three weeks done in new hard job type. Now additional support is removed BUT I’m not longer having these tasks sent to me as a high priority, so now I’m getting way more normal things in combination with the hard things which is very nice. It was like 1 in 2 and now it’s more like 1 in 10. Much more chill than first three weeks when it was just hard new thing all the time
sounds like winning 🥰
First time beer battered calamari rings tonight.
I’m sold on doing it that way now and not panko.
Double frying which was scary in case you end up w/ a gumboot, but it actually worked.
Looks nice. 🤤
Apparently there’s been bioluminescence in St Kilda Beach. Can it wait until the weekend? I wanna go see it.
So far it’s all smooth sailing with using my friend to help me with some business design stuff. It’s much easier explaining what you need to someone who already gets the way you think. They also seem really excited to be working together again, we made a good work duo in our past job. So fingers crossed it stays all positive.
It’s great to hear things are working out. Sounds like you’ll make a great team going forward again
🤞🏻
Thank you everyone for the kind words ❤️ fingers crossedn🤞🏾
🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Man, indie game trailers are a real rabbithole on Youtube. You watch one and keep getting suggested more. They all look interesting but I don’t have the time
only me at the beach today
a little meeting of red shrimp in a tiny pool, looks they are eating a starfish
so many starfishes on the beach
egret
some finds including one very nice murex
There is so much cool stuff at your beach I’m jealous
on the west coast, for a bio class we dug up "sand crabs’ and looked for strange parasites, they will filled with them.
Ok that’s really gross to think about 😅 all these little crabs infested with parasites just below your feet all over the beach 😬
Looks so calming. Love the shrimp party!
very calming
and the shrimp party was so cute 🦐🥳 They were about 5 cm long ☺️
Got offered the job from the interview on Friday. Now just to decide if I actually want to take it. My replacement is starting for my current role on Thursday.
Do it!
Congrats!!!
beach
I need that calming.
the rhythms of the maintenance work around the beach, the fishermen, the bait catchers, people out for walks, joggers, dogs
all the wild life, the tides and weather,
being in it so many days a week you get to know it and get into the rhythm too
it’s nice
I love cats. Hoping to become the eccentric cat person I wanted to be as a kid.
I just wish I was rich so I could afford to adopt the old babies and have help as I got older
maybe you can help at a local cat shelter
or do cat sitting?
you’re a sweetheart to be so kind 😘
Unfortunately I’m not able to do that at this point. It’s taking all I have to care for myself right now
life has balance
sometimes we care for you
other times you care for us
it all balances out
so don’t hesitate to ask any of us for help if you need 😘
Mickey is a little fiend for these dental treats, he absolutely loves them.
I guess I’ll go to petbarn and grab a massive tub of them. They’re the only treat he really begs for 😂
Good idea, sometimes buying in bulk is cheaper. And definitely hit up the specials.
I’ve found sometimes if you let an item sit in the cart you might get a coupon
Can you take a pic? Would love to get Fluffball away from what she likes currently (temptations)
The brand is called Greenies, it’s dental treats for cats (they also do dogs but that’s irrelevant here lol!
They have chicken, tuna, and catnip flavours. Mickey is a little demon fiend for the catnip flavoured ones 😂
Awesome! Thanks heaps :)
Today is national wattle day. Hopefully you encounter some of the fluffballs in your travels today and enjoy their joyfulness! Bring on Spring!
