When I trim my nails, I trim too close to the cuticle and end up getting an infection.
I have one now and the antibiotics are giving me a nasty headache.
Goodnight all :)
I’m not sure what this means because the cuticle is the thicker skin stuff between the bottom of the nail and finger? Do you just mean the skin gets nicked because you cut too much off the top? You could try washing/disinfecting the nail scissors or clippers. Bacteria might be living on them that keeps reinfecting any nicks each time you do your nails. Order of operation is wash hands, disinfect clippers, then trim nails. Hopefully that prevents any further instances!
hugs, get better soon 😊
Scomo gets an award in the Kings B'day honors list
Words fail me.
Very undeserving.

Mate, you didn’t do anything.
that cunt , didn't he refuse the vaccine from pfizer , making us wait at least another year just so his corrupt mates could profit
Yes. They haggled over the price, turned it down and let us deal with the strollout.
wasn't it free
but that meant none of scomo's mates could make a profit
I could be misremembering. But on checking ‘unnamed sources’ claimed that a representative got belligerent and haggled over the price. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jul/10/stuffed-how-australias-unconscionable-gamble-on-covid-vaccines-backfired
But yeah either way they did discuss it and refused the deal
Sorting out my trip to Adelaide!!!!!!!
Fuck yes!
I'm developing an addiction to Jarrah hot choccie. I blame this weather.
The Coles organic hot chocolate is incredible. I add a splash of pouring cream and vanilla syrup too. No, I have no self-control.
I feel hungry, making two sorts of pasta and mixing it together tonight.
So nice coming inside to a warm house.
How is it that tedious chores are easier in video games than rl? But I’m stealing the concept of ‘doing dailies’.
If I can do even just one annoying thing each day, no matter if that’s all that gets done, then that should start to add up to a clean mostly empty flat. And if it doesn’t then it prevents things from snowballing (especially in a small place).
I’m staying on Mts Wash and Dishmore, shredding paperwork, and slowly weeding out various things to declutter. There’s a bunch of different places for unwanted stuff to go but I’m just putting them aside for when I get a lift.
When life is less chaotic then I begin to sell things.
this is what I do
I set myself rules. Everyday make sure the cat amenities are clean. Do the dishes and clean the kitchen everyday. Self care everyday. Wear clean tidy clothes everyday.
If I make a list I try to have it all crossed by end of day, it doesn't matter if it's midnight.
I need to expand my rules.
One annoying thing a day is a good idea. I'm going to steal it. If my executive function works with me.
At the same shopping centre where this week’s pumpkin projectile happened to me and I witness another loud confrontation between staff v shoplifter, this time at Aldi. I kept my distance and eyes on them the entire time. What is happening though? Twice in a week while I’m here. I honestly don’t feel that safe coming here anymore.
Edit - I was influenced and purchased the garlic dip. Garlic bomb incoming 😶🌫️
I’m sorry bro, there are parts of Melbourne that are especially cooked now. Poverty, drugs and lack of support services are really causing a crunch and leading to increased shoplifting and aggression.
It might be worth going somewhere else, another area if possible
Strays ate from a plate I was holding!
It doesn't sound like much, but this is huge.
😄
that's great 😄
I fell asleep briefly watching Klute. I never fall asleep during the day ever. Perhaps I’m coming down with something
Found out you can do donations to food banks via supermarket delivery but annoyed that by posting that I’m driving more business to Coles (when Coles and Woolies should be receiving a lot more scrutiny for price gouging and shrinkflation).
Hopefully a few more people will donate this way but it’s hiding a systemic issue (growing wealth inequality) and it’s always the big businesses that clean up when things go to shit. What a sucky balance.
If I had money and a car I’d probably hit up Aldi or IGA both for myself and when I could do donations
the savings from shopping at aldi make using public transport to get there and back cost effective
and so many hugs for you thinking of helping other people, again , you're a good person 😘😘😘
Public transport isn’t very accessible for physical ability and also local safety issues. Also for working people time is an issue
Still sucks that I’m giving a sus grocery baron a plug (and using it)
The painting of the bedroom suite is taking a while but it's looking so good. I'll post pics when I'm done. 🙂
I didn’t end up taking the restavit because it expired last month… debating whether to take it tonight anyway and get a fresh box on Monday.
I’m sick of the sleeping pattern I’m stuck in. I do wake up but can’t seem to get up or do anything and end up going back to sleep.
Agree with others, would be totally safe to use
IDK much about pharmaceutical chemistry, but I wouldn't be too concerned about the expiry date. They usually decided with a large error of margin. The sooner the company says something has 'expired' the sooner it needs to be replaced.
That’s good. You always hear not to take expired medication and usually I don’t but I am not feeling up to going and getting more right now
Usually because people take it, it's not as effective so they take more. Very easy to overdose that way.
A lot of "expired" stuff ends up being snagged by vets, the lower efficacy doesn't matter as much when you're doing pet sized doses
Would they take Restavit? I know there’s a crossover with human drugs and they do take donations of leftover meds (to give free to pets of homeless clients) but it might be weird to give them expired human meds.
I also have a few tubes of Melbcat’s thyroid meds from like 3 years ago but they may not be good still
I don't actually know if they take from non-pharmacy sources at all
I know my vet takes unused meds from pets that have passed, and I gave them both the extra bottle of oral gel plus the oil based 4cyte that I didn’t want to force Melbcat to take
The other aspect with the expiry date is it is generally about the chemical compounds breaking down and becoming less effective rather than it becoming unsafe to consume. So expired medications may not work quite as well as if they are in date but are not harmful.
We cranked up the rammstein for the next wall and i've just nipped up to grab some fuds. I can hear His Lordship singing along to big titties through the floorboards lol
Ooh, I saw them live in Melbourne ages ago. Was quite a show
Duuuuu Du hast
Read another book (High Wire by Candace Fox) and in the brief bit of Sun we had, went out. The Minipeelers swindled me somehow into going to a local cafe where the San Sebastian cheesecake and tiramisu are to die for. Both were lovely as usual. Am now alternating between beached whale mode and doing odd little tasks like a load of laundry.
I hope everything is working out well :)
Thankyou Gibson!
P&H soup in crockpot - adequate quantities of garlic included. Kitchen smells amazing. Will be done by 6 pm I hope.
I got:
A fancy toothbrush (that has Bluetooth and an app for some reason)
New sheets
A jacket
A hoodie with a massive hood (took me weeks to find)
Massive amount of cat treats
Done and done.
