I have other cleaning that’s been neglected too… the clean clothes are unfolded (which isn’t too bad) but the dishes have been sitting and my sketchbook is giving me a look

Yeah, I’ve been staying up late in case Melbcat needs a top up on her meds while sick, but also things are in general just bad. A lot going on

I’ve fallen into so many bad habits because I just can’t physically do what I used to.

All I can do is justify it by reminding myself that I am still pretty frugal and have a low footprint in other ways

I thought things would get easier with sunny weather but they’re still really hard. My mood is dipping really low and I’ve not been sleeping well. It’s bad.

I’m noticing the zucchini are wilting a bit in the heat. Makes sense. They’re growing fast but their roots aren’t reaching down to the bottom of the big pots yet, so they would be getting a bit dry.

I was thinking of some drip spikes or terracotta pots used as ollas but that requires ordering stuff. I don’t really want to get it delivered in case of theft and don’t want to pester someone to get it for me. I did see buried plastic bottles with pinpricks in them used for the purpose so I can make do with what I already have. It’ll also be a lot cheaper.

I’ve had a neighbour try to report me to the police for having long grass/messy yard.

Bish, I’m disabled and you’re the reason I’ve been too scared to go out there to fix it

Bonus: They hung over a high fence to take the pictures so it’s not like they would even see it unless trying to

Ugh, crazy/malicious neighbours are the worst. Be careful and avoid that one as they tend to target multiple people.

Especially if they try to get you to join them in bullying someone else but you refuse

I looked with a torch before but don’t see it… it does need a clean underneath though. I’m debating whether moving it is worth the risk of injury

I feel like life really has become all about the overlords squeezing profit and making the line go up

I dropped the pill cutter and half an antibiotic tablet has disappeared into thin air…

Thanks! Yeah it was very likely clicking a bad link and I’ll be more careful. I probably won’t need the NAS setup and could do it manually

Mine is snuggled up to me 🫠

Melbcat is sometimes refusing to eat her wet food which means I have to crush/mix her meds into a syringe, get her in a very gentle headlock and feed it to her directly… not ideal for either of us.

She’s also vitamin B deficient from an absorption difficulty so

I know cats go nuts for brewers yeast and Marmite has B12 (I think Vegemite doesn’t) but it’s salty which is bad for her kidneys. So I bought some nutritional yeast and sprinkled a pinch. Yes, she likes it. She ate some of her meal.

She still needs to be wrangled to give the antibiotics directly, same for the anti nausea stuff which she absolutely needs right now. But I’ll remember this for when we can go back to only the normal meds that can just mix into the food.
