Is there any sort you particularly like?
Ughh… I’ve spent most of my energy shredding papers instead of tidying for the inspection. Doing that while tired is going to suck. I did find some important paperwork and sort out that bill though.
I just want to get my shit back together
Have you read The Harp In The South/Poor Man’s Orange?
Never Let Me Go is a gut punch. I think I’ve read a few of his that really hurt
I recently read The Revenant and The Particular Sadness Of Lemon Cake. Both were op shop finds.
The first is about a man left for dead after being attacked by a bear and his subsequent survival/quest for revenge. The second is about a girl who can taste emotions in food. Bit of a weird ending.
I still have part of the Memory Sorrow and Thorn trilogy to finish as so much was going on for so long that I got too tired to read.
Can you divide Bill’s meal in two (if they eat at different times) and give him the second half while Ted eats? Or feed them at the same time?
A slow feeder or treat tower might also make Bill work for his food and stay occupied with his own meal longer instead of gulping it and going after Ted’s.
Or maybe if they aren’t already on low calorie or grain free food that’s an option.
Mashed pumpkin or hot water mixed into wet food is also a way to make them feel fuller.
More exercise for them might also help instead of reducing food intake so heavily.
It’s really hard. Breaks your heart to do it
Alrighty then. The phone calls and appointments have been made 🐸(Except for accessing a patient portal to do something - I’ll do it when I can figure out which hospital and what I’m trying to do again.)
Then I started on the paper clutter and it’s lucky I did… Opened some bills to shred and saw a large outstanding balance. Rang the water company.
PSA: Greater Western Water stopped taking automatic payments in like October last year because autopay isn’t currently working, and some people may have missed out on being notified. So it may be you’re running up a big unexpected bill.
If you’re with them and have been relying on autopay definitely check bills or call them for a direct link/payment plan. Thankfully I was able to cover the amount but did have to pay it manually and will until autopay returns.
Edit: There won’t be late fees and apparently direct debit will resume from 25th of April, but the outstanding amount won’t be direct debited and must be paid manually.
Queenly look
Like Nefertiti
I slept through my alarms again. Permatired.
Cancelled a dental appointment regarding the root canal treatment I no longer need to avoid being charged. Now I have to ring and sort out a time for this inspection. And make a vet appointment for Solensia and vitamin b.
Melbcat just cried so I gave her extra pain meds. As soon as she gets drowsy I might see if it’s possible to wipe some oral gel onto her back teeth/gums and clip her nails.
Then back to the dishes and laundry. Also there’s tidying and sweeping.
My stomach hurts and I just want to go back to bed.
Well I’ve already messed up my sleeping pattern and don’t have anything much on tomorrow. The baby is all drowsy and tucked up.
Started tackling the dread twin peaks (Mt Washmore and Dishmore)
Ugh. Accidentally napped, and woke up quite late for Melbcat’s meds.
Cat tmi
She’s still been crying and desperately ran away after using the litterbox today so I think her uti is still causing pain. When it should be settling? She’s constipated too.
Already been to the vet on Tuesday to try and find out what the pain is but now I think it’s that.
I’ve given the extra pain relief on top of her usual and might have to just give it more routinely instead of waiting for the need. Making my alarms louder so I actually hear them.
I need to find where that Cystapro stuff is - it’s bright red and tastes terrible but maybe right now it could give some relief. I’ve given her a hot water bottle to lie on while I look.
I also mixed a little Osmolax into her wet food with extra water plus pumpkin baby food and might keep that up until things improve.
Edit: That is so weird. I can’t find the Cystapro capsules. I did stop using it but don’t remember throwing them away
That’s a blast from the past
Good idea, might grab some
I have candles but am very wary of open flames. Even with safeguards I don’t trust them an inch
Yeah, just look at RFK jr
All his weird wellness stuff and proposal of work camps for ‘addicts’ (cough fascism) and now he’s trying to find the cause of/cure autism (cough eugenics)
Yeah that was the other book I read… the way he just kept on going when (spoiler)
