Flying back home after 2 weeks in NZ today. Top of 13 degrees here today, it's going to be a rude shock coming home 🫠

One of the things I pray for is my nephew to have a secure life full of love, so that they aren't pushed into some of the scenarios and resulting relatively harmless but nonetheless questionable choices and that I've made.

I want them to be able to choose the right thing secure in the knowledge that even if it blows back on them they are safe enough in life to withstand it.

I want them to be able to grow rather than just merely survive.

Fucking wow.. I don’t expect anything at Yarraville to be a rager, but this crowd might as well have oxygen tanks.

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

injectionsneeds monthly shots at the vet… she should be having them weekly but I’m scared to accidentally hurt her when doing them at home.

 

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.

People are walking their dogs in the local indoor shopping centre. What even.

Oh it's for pet photos with Santa.

Good news everyone.

Saturday plans - which I WAS looking forward to, but am not heartbroken to lose - have fallen through, so I can have a day to get my shit together. I sorely need this day
