Of the antibiotics? Maybe, it would depend on the kind it was. But I’m not sure I have the support to take her in that often and do that.

She could have been given a different treatment if I had been able to get her in for a urine draw and a culture but I couldn’t as I didn’t have help at the time to transport and carry her

Do you find caffeine helps?

I used to wash the painkillers down with a strong coffee hoping to constrict the blood vessels in my brain and shorten the migraine

Thanks, that’s reassuring

The community pantry was looking a bit sad at Christmas so I was looking for bulk mini toiletries on a hotel supplies site… clicked a product and got sent to a spam site 😬

I’m hoping it’s only on their end and hasn’t infected my phone. I’ve backed it up and installed the update (which I should have done before but was on the fence about the AI crap included).

Also Melbcat is still lethargic and unhappy. She was sick last night and is very thingy about having her ears touched so it’s possible she’s got an ear infection from a reaction to the antibiotics.

I saw a praying mantis the other day, and a native bee

I hate how everything is up in the air, busy and then closed. It’s a really disruptive time of year

Found bibs at the supermarket so they came yesterday. Very cute but already being tested by spat out medicine. Melbcat is not pleased :(

I also found what looks like cabbage moth eggs on the nasturtium seedlings. That was fast. I put them out for part of the day yesterday. First time they’ve been out.

Edit: Another male flower. I have 8 cut male flowers in the fridge, one fertilised female and the rest of the females are barely forming.

The ratio and timing is so off I’m afraid these plants are a little bit silly

I was googling and found this https://thatwaywardwolf.tumblr.com/post/639824971744559104/ive-worked-in-food-banks-a-lot-and-i-can-verify

What sort of thing would work for soap and tp?

(The items would be fresh and new. Normally I’d keep it in original wrapping but didn’t want one person to have to take it all. And leaving the pack open or the items bare seems unhygienic.)

I made it to the op shop again. It’s still a bit of a big walk for me though 🫠 I definitely pay for it over the next few days and my sore foot complains.

But at least I took the dented/disliked flavour cat food down to the community pantry. 12 cans. Those were meant to go to the shelter ages ago but someone else took them out of the bag and put them back in the cupboard when I wasn’t looking.

There’s an unopened pack of toothbrushes somewhere I won’t use. A scented bar of soap. A pack of pasta I bought but won’t eat. If my plants start producing a lot of veg I could maybe take the extra down there.

I wonder what the etiquette is on buying big multipacks of soap or tp and re-wrapping them individually (perhaps in wrapping paper) to share them out more equally. Is that sus or acceptable

Thanks, it’s cool, I might just start with gentle stretches and walks when possible

Ahh I don’t have Wii

Used to be my go to but stopped because of reasons. I’m trying to start back up but aware I’m still rolling the dice on run ins with crazy people each time

I’m trying to build up my physical fitness again and it’s hard as balls. Probably because I’m not nourished but I’m doing the best I can.

There’s so much I would rather be doing than bed rotting, and I’m really scared about the times support isn’t available. That little bit of strength can mean the difference between being able to manage something important vs not

The zukes are making pollen now. Yesterday there was a tiny black native bee rooting around in there covered in pollen and some male flowers I snipped for the fridge. Today there’s one female flower open and 3 more males so I used a cotton bud to pollinate then snipped those to save as well.

I’m going through some shit emotionally but have no idea how to handle it so I’m just kind of doing practical things while trying to process or let it settle :(

Because you can pop it in the machine and it washes for you. You don’t have to stand there actively doing it the whole time. Then you can come back after a break and deal with hanging/drying
