Cat healthMelbcat has been vomming again so is once more being force fed elixir of narnies, and Iโ€™m doing a lot of washing/carpet cleaning.

Also cleaning in chunks for an inspection. Iโ€™m so exhausted and keep crashing. I will probably end up just shoving a lot of things in cupboards if they fit.

There is good news though. I asked the vet about D-Mannose (which is used for utis in humans). Iโ€™d bought a bottle since Melbcat is constantly getting them due to kidney disease and developing resistances but havenโ€™t been game to try it yet because I donโ€™t know the dose for cats.

He said heโ€™d have to research but I did see what he pulled up on the screen and google it laterโ€ฆ heโ€™d found a relatively new article I may or may not have seen saying it had been found helpful as a preventative measure in cats and dogs.

But what I really need to know is the dose. Too much can cause problems. I need to email and see if heโ€™s found anything else.

Itโ€™s cold. I am desperate for some warmer weather. I know global warming is bad but if a tiny bit of it happened to Melbourne so we could have some glorious Spring weather I would not be mad.

ordered a "new" PC to take over plex responsibilities. The old XPS is starting to show its age. Heres my question, do I go Linux? Or stick to win 11? I've heard Linux performance is a lot better, but my experince is pretty limited to a few Ubuntu Distros. The other challenege is my library sits on a 12tb internal drive on the XPS. Is Ubuntu going to be ok reading off what I assume is NTFS?

Ok, Iโ€™ll be bad just this once. Only as a treat

I have now come to realise that it takes about 4 years of early mornings to ruin my usual sleep schedule. No matter how late I sleep, how tired/exhausted I am or whether itโ€™s a day off, unless Iโ€™m unusually unwell, I cannot sleep in the same way I used to.

This is an annoying revelation. Even napping, which I do very poorly, is worse now.

I need to find a way around this. I need more hours.

Oh damnโ€ฆ turns out while I knew I was near one bad spot, Iโ€™m actually right between two. On a busy highway per se. No wonder Iโ€™ve been getting a lot of grief.

Even with how much I keep to myself and mind my own it was unavoidable.

I saw Vampire Survivors has a local coop mode now. I'm going to try it out with my girlfriend soon, and it sounds like a good excuse to get addicted again and get a friend hooked too
