I'm gonna make jerk chicken today but with a difference. I have some chicken thighs that I'll cut up and marinade. Then I'll fry them.
Get those on asap if you want them today. 24hr is better for jerk in this catβs opinion.

Important things on my to-do list: bookkeeping for my business, cleaning the house
Not on my to-do list: sorting out the multiple boxes of accumulated tech stuff that I've hoarded over the years
Guess which one my ADHD brain is hyper-focusing on today...
The oldest thing I've found so far is a 23 year-old Nokia 6210, also a Nokia 770 'internet tablet' from 2006
Instead of just sorting them, have you tried getting them to boot and seeing what you can get running on them? If they don't work then are you looking in to how to fix them? Also once you've been through them all, just remember, you never know when you might need them so it's probably worth putting them back. Also make sure to put them back exactly in the same spot and box they were originally in otherwise you'll never find them again.
Hehe...

I have been noping in my airconditioned house all day, stepped out to water the tomatillos and dear god it is moist out there.
Sunset dins wrap was good tonight.
Not pictured was the doggo 'ducky' who came up for a bit of the wrap action. Naughty 'ducky'. It wasn't duckies' first time they definitely knew how to game the situation. Owner ran over and leashed poor ducky.
But I have stolen a chip before so..

TIL about poptart plantations.
My apartment is so warm even after running the AC all day it's absolute bullshit. Maybe I should actually look around and think seriously about moving.
Alright, I've figured it all out.
Cat rambles
The unexplained jumping was not asking for food like usual, but Melbcat wanting me to fix something that wasn't immediately obvious.
She wanted to get into a tiny nook in the wardrobe that was occupied by a bag of stuff, and was asking me to move it. I had seen her interest but thought it was too small for her and didn't want to risk her springing a leak in an annoying spot... but as soon as I did she crept in there and crawled behind the open frame chest of drawers (in a space made by a pulled out drawer). I'm going to have to organise/declutter the wardrobe and put pee pads down underneath just in case. I'd put a hidey box in there if there was enough room.
She will eat plain cold cat food from the tin with nothing else added so I don't know if she's objecting to the usual warm water, the tasteless medicine she's usually fine with, the tasteless stool softener, or the pumpkin baby food she normally loves. However skipping or delaying her medication is keeping her in a cycle of feeling terrible. It's not encouraging her appetite, plus she needs to have food with her antibiotics and really needs something to move her bowels.
So I've been a horrible human and thrown the skipped meal out, syringed dissolved medication and stool softener into her mouth, and given her some of the plain cold cat food. Hopefully a few days of this will get her back to normal. She hasn't finished her course of antibiotics yet but if she continues acting funny after that and doesn't become more regular soon it's back to the vet.
