Online theory of first aid course completed. Phew.
Did a recce earlier of Southland parking as I haven't parked in the area I want to park in since the great remodel. Also went into Bunnings to get a refund on the cut key that didn't work and some Felix for the felines. Not sure if people were particularly feral or if that's normal Sunday around here, as I tend to avoid driving on a Sunday for that reason.
Now having lunch and then back to Operation Sort Shit.

Melbcat was being restless and kept trying to step onto my laptop while I was typing... kind of like a toddler when you're on the phone. When that didn't work she headbutted my cup full force like Spyro and dumped an entire cup of coffee over my bed. Plus everything nearby.

It splashed the keyboard a little but thankfully no damage to the laptop. And thankfully there was waterproofing on the mattress and quilted cloth protectors on the pillows. But I ended up having to pull out the old spare bedding I was going to donate because the second main set is still in the wash from fleas/spilled baby food.

I can't really stop having cuppas in bed because of fatigue but will be putting them in travel cups with sealed lids. And I'll get some actually waterproof pillow protectors. Might rethink the arrangement of things or leave a permanent drop cloth under a high risk spot too.

Edit: I think she wanted food. Fed her and it was approaching 3pm which is when I was giving extra meals. She's eating so much wet food lately that I'm wondering if the biscuits are just too hard or maybe it's her thyroid or her teeth. The little tins of wet food are so expensive too. I wish I could just buy the big affordable cans of Snappy Tom because it's basically the same thing for much better value, but remembering that one might not have gone down well.

Hmm, so I’ve found that Mlem and Memmy have not been notifying of some replies which is a bit annoying. I’m not sure what is going on there. I also found my song list for 2021 and it looks like I’ve repeated a couple of favourites (I was a bit suspicious of this), so I’ll have to find replacements for those.

Thinking about gratitude and sending out positive energy. ✨

I've been having the same issue with some replies on the mobile browser from the start; I think it might be a Lemmy problem sadly

Ok, my vegie seedlings do like being outside. I was taking them out in the early morning and bringing them in at night before so they shouldn't be getting much more light than they were? But I picked off some of the older fainted parsley leaves a few days ago and it's starting to perk up tall. The second leaves on the spinach and carrots are getting bigger and the cat grass is actually starting to sprout (after a second sowing). The pots are so tiny though...

Adventuring in Minecraft and I found another village. I found a potato in a chest and grew it repeatedly until I had some to take for myself. Then I went on a balls to the wall adventure (falling into snow and freezing is a thing now?) and found a dark oak forest with giant mushrooms. I'm taking some saplings.

Edit: Oh yeah. And there was randomly a pink sheep

What we need is a permanent cabinet member that advises the PM on policy issues from the point of view of First Nations peoples. How hard is that?
