Fluff brigade

They seem healthy, but I was supposed to trap them so they can be deflead and deworned but work has gotten in the way.
I just want to introduce the newest member of my family.
A deformed lemon.
I'm calling it Sharlene or Nasum.
How about Bert?
spoiler
lol. yep bert it is!
Finally home.
Shopping is done.
All cats have assorted treats and food (so does the human)
Snacks have been organised.
Now comes the zonk!
Cat tmi, medical
Also I was right - the vet thankfully changed it to a phone call and said immediately that Melbcat has a raging uti. Bacteria, pus, the works. Exactly as I expected.
I already gave her a dose of the enrofloxacin and will continue twice daily until itโs finished. Heโs ordering in a urinary support supplement that we might not have tried ๐ค
Iโm wondering if itโs ok to email the vet asking for more details on the risks the new vet was referring to when he declined to perform the cystocentosis - and ask that it be done when I tell them itโs needed.
And if thereโs any more not being listened to/heโs not confident performing it, potentially even ask that we not be assigned to that vet again.
I donโt want to antagonise her primary care providers and refusing any particular staff member could be problematic when she needs to be seen and theyโre the only one available. But that created such unnecessary delay in sorting out treatment while Melbcat was in pain. ๐ซค
First time on the Geelong/Warrnambool train line, it's pretty
Except for the dumped rubbish and burnt out cars.
It's atmosphere
I'm craving pavlova. Probably shouldn't make one.
Cheaper Buy Miles coming up with the goods today..

Washing done, some life admin done. Time in the sun done, now for food!
Got to do some grocery shopping for the weekend, tackle Mt Washmore and very little else. I've got lunch planned for tomorrow; there's pumpkin, spinach and ricotta lasagna with roast vegetables and a couple of schnitzels for the kids. Looking forward to it!
I have an errand to run which will get me back home hopefully by 2pm latest then it's gaaaaaaaames all day and guitar all night.
Had an awesome little jam yesterday. When I haven't played for a few days it kinda builds up which is cool.
Also I'm done with cyberpunk. It's my perfect dopamine game so it needs to go for a while.
Enjoy the sunshine โ๏ธ
I must arise. Late morning marketing and some sunshine strolling is called for
yes, sunshine good ๐
My friend is going to Perth today, and I'm going to Waurn Ponds and back. Our travel times will be about the same
.... audible sigh
I didn't have a clothes line as a kid so we'd drape washed wet clothes over trees n bushes n whatnot.
"get shirt out of tree?"
Correct. Shirt was thrown off whilst trampolining.
Ah makes sense
Should I ask how it got in the tree to start with?
My question too lol.
Thereโs a vet appointment for Melbcat today that I have to decide whether Iโm going to keep. Iโll ring and ask.
spoiler
I might give it up for someone on the cancellation list because sheโs just been and Iโm mainly waiting to hear whether I can start giving antibiotics. I have some here.
She needed extra pain relief last night so if results arenโt back soon Iโll probably just start what I have whether they say so or not. From the distinctive smell it possibly is one of those resistant nasty strains that usually do need the enro.
I already had to delay her with pain relief through Tuesday while I had my tooth pulled. She was seen Wednesday but I had the dr myself Thursday and was only able to get a sample that night, which left me taking the sample in Fridayโฆ
If that new guy had just done the cysto on Wednesday the results would be in sooner.
Edit: Nope, the vet will discuss the results today in consult. Guess after morning meds Iโm scraping up the energy to shower and get ready. At least itโs one whoโs seen us before.
I tidied a bit yesterday and did one load of laundry but thereโs more to go then I have to wash the cups and sweep. Melbcat was sick in the wee hours this morning so Iโll soak that with enzyme cleaner.
My box of antibiotics with a few pills left has racked off into the ether so Iโm just going to start the newest box. These are three times daily -_-
Between being careful of my sus tooth socket (which better not be getting infected) and my stomach starting to shut down again I can barely eat anything. My mental health is crumbling.
Iโve woken up tired.
Bee butt
Sending care and strength thoughts in your direction Melbs. May it go smoothly and may Melbcat respond quickly to the antibiotics and may you get some repreive soon.
Thanks. Hopefully this is just a rough patch!

I am much better, thank you!

Looks like Bazza is installing on the old work laptop now. Bitlocker was getting in the way so I used command prompt to reformat the drive.
I had to use Windows to destroy the Windows.
Oh how poetic
It's going to take a bit more work, but at least I have a massive partition of spyware out of the way for the moment
If it wasn't for the audio software I'd have gotten rid of windows ages ago.
Sadly the majority of DAW and plugins don't run on Linux or id have to run them in an emulator.
