::: spoiler TW Pet death
Melbcat had too many health issues for treatment to give her a good quality of life. She was peacefully put to sleep while I held her. Thank you for all your well wishes and for loving her too.
:::
Nothing else to add but we loved her too. Rest now little one. No more pain. And to go out being held in all that love you have for her is a gift. Now you rest and be gentle and scream into this void all you need. You did good Melba
Sending you so much gentle love, Melba. She was so deeply cared for by you, so incredibly loved. You made every decision with the best of intentions for her. Please take care of yourself, grieve but know you did everything out of love for her. Rest well, little one.
I’m so so sorry. It’s devastating loosing a pet. It will be so hard, but you know that she was loved and cared for, the best life a cat could have. Sending hugs.
I'm so sorry for your loss Melba 🫂 I hope you're finding some solace in your decision to let her go peacefully, you did your best and in the end that's all we can do.
I'm getting nuuuuuuuthing done today. I need to start doing things or today is going to go so so so slowly. Strange how doing nothing at work makes time crawl, doing nothing at home makes time fly.
I have a couple of mounds at the back to spread out once the pumpkin is out of that patch of garden. It turned out to be a pretty good amount (2m^2^) and covered the garden and a narrow path along the back fence behind the vegie garden.
Cleaning up the driveway was a bit tiring, as leaves from the mulch blew around everywhere and I had some bonus sand that was in the truck from it's last delivery. I had to sweep the whole lot down, and ended up doing the entrance area and sweeping down the walls which had a lot of dust and cobwebs too.
Thanks. It's amazing how much some of the plants have grown since I put them in. Its only been about 4 1/2 months since they were planted and they all started as small tubestock.

Or how about you ignore them all and do a hair mask for the first time in, like, 5 years. Go on. That'll make all of your problems vanish. And by vanish I mean continue to stack up."
Tried veg gyoza and calamari (shitty store bought) in the airfryer tonight.
Verdict:
I think the gyoza need to be done normally (pan fry -> steam -> bit more pan fry) but was okay, the calamari worked very well. 200c for 8-10mins from frozen.
It's hot work outside today. It's apparently 20 degrees and 'feels like' 16, but it feels more like 26 when shovelling. I think lots of breaks to cool down is the order of the day.

Sending so much love and my condolences. You gave her the best life possible. Being there with her in the end would have been such a comfort.

Had 2 recruiters call me today.
Let's hear what they have to say.
I'm getting nuuuuuuuthing done today. I need to start doing things or today is going to go so so so slowly. Strange how doing nothing at work makes time crawl, doing nothing at home makes time fly.
Maybe a coffee first.
I've had three coffees already, so can't use that as an excuse to procrastinate any more. Time to bring in the washing then start hauling mulch.
3 coffees?!!?
That's heavy.
I've drastically reduced my intake, so three coffees would have me a jittering mess on the floor. Just the one I had lit a fire under my bum!
same, I need to make a list
will do the needful first

That looks amazing!!!

1 more day. Urgh.
It's been a god send having a blocked ear the last few days because there's overnight construction near my house this week.
All the advantages of living in bum fuck nowhere (peace and quiet) evaporated 4 months ago.
I made juuuust enough pasta to act as a vessel for my delicious ratatouille
I’ve had a wildly unproductive workday and I need to stare at a wall
Brains are stupid.

Goddamn my hair better feel amazing tomorrow.
soy milk has been obtained

Fuck this white eyebrow shit. I refuse to morph into John Howard.
Lol, the only place I get greys. I had to stop plucking them, so now they're dyed!
I have dye, but there is also a texture and length difference issue. The plucking shall continue! To a certain point....
Next time you're at the hairdresser ask them to trim them. They do it with the clippers.
At my my barber shop (all Iraqis and Lebanese) when I get my bread trimmed I always forget about the eyebrows.
Thankfully the boys always remind me. I asked one if they're really bushy, his answer 'Brother, I'm Arab, if I tell you it's hairy...believe me'
Bless them
My husband wasn't aware that he needed his trimmed until the hairdresser said to him once "you want eyebrows done too?" Now he's addicted.
It's the best.
I do this myself. Once or twice I've ended up with no eyebrows, which isn't the best look for me.
Ha ha ha. That's why you pay a professional to do it.
So like 15 years ago. Very helpful.
With you on that. Saved a fortune.
Trick for me is have a few glasses of wine before cutting.. all about the unique cut. Looks great until I wake up the next day.
$500 haircuts is unsustainable!
Sometimes there is drunken fringe wonkiness, just use a mussy style until it sorts itself out
Oh you cut your own hair? Brave.
Brush them up and nail scissors!
trim, not pluck, and you can get wax pencils to tame them
mine are so blonde/white you can't see my eyebrows , I have to pencil and use mascara
Mascara is the secondary solution
follow up appointment for arthritis done
I'm on this 👍

Just ran into a dude I haven't seen since year 12.
Turns out my group wasn't the only wild ones after all.
This probably won't work, but I can't make it worse, so...
If it's already broken, you're learning how they work. And you can put the battery in the correct bin at the tip.

so I'm not supposed to take anti histamines or vitamins until my allergy appt next week
my lips and tongue are now on fire , not even sure what it is, I had a soy milk coffee and home made olive bread with nuttelex for morning tea
sulphites on olives perhaps, the wheat bread itself?
hopefully the testing can tell me, in the meantime I am reading labels carefully
Check the air/water quality for your suburb - epa link and water quality reports
Might be an airborne pollution issue or a water quality one.
Wow! Is anything a brand you don't normally use? That sounds like an awful reaction, hope it's subsided by now.
the soy is new
seems everything is giving me a reaction lately 😒
the beach was lovely this evening, a warm breeze made it not too cool
good night everyone
sweet dreams 😘 take care
