Aldi have long life lactose free full cream and Lite milk.
Oat milk goes great with coffee if you can have it.
Your porcelain throne will be grateful lol
stomach aches were keeping me awake π£
Mimi is such a brave little kitty.
Yesterday, wifey noticed that Mimi seemed to be winking a lot. After some further inspection, she noticed that one of Mimi's eyelids was swollen.
So today, Mimi went on a big trip to the vets to see Dr Paul.
Dr Paul took a look at her eye, and thankfully there's no scratches on her eyeball.
Because it's one eye that was swollen, it's unlikely to be an allergic reaction, and our babies are all indoor cats.
Most likely, it was that some individual β who may or may not be named Spunky or Snowy β got a little rough while playing with Mimi overnight.
After an anti-inflammatory injection and some eyedrops, Miss Mimi was sent home.
She's now happily playing in a box.
hugs,
She is a good puss.
@Seagoon_ @[email protected] Thank you π
The good news is that she got home and had dinner and a bit of a play. Hopefully, after a couple of days of eye drops, she makes a full recovery πΈ
Sweet Mimi, such a good puss. π Wishing her a healthy recovery ππ
I told you there would be fisticuffs over that box.
@CEOofmyhouse56 @[email protected] You were correct.
Poor Mimi πΏ
Get well soon Miss Mimi β₯
@CEOofmyhouse56 She was so brave when I took her down to see Dr Paul though.
Sat still while Dr Paul weighed her, did the eye drops, and gave her an injection.
He was very impressed.
No way would I be that brave in the same circumstances π
Currently trying to organise a redundancy reference. Can't risk getting to the last stage and having someone drop out.
Also, we are a chicken household:
Does Gibson know you as Simon yet?
That actually made me laugh out loud. Thank you! Sadly she still calls me "meow"
With the right candidate the furry approach might work. If "Simon" fails, "Mr Mittens" might be worth a shot.
To whom it may concern:
Simon is good. Please hire him.
Yours sincerely,
Melbourne DT
In answer to your enquiry, Sir, I am happy to see that you've had the good sense to hire Mr Fluffybutt. He is and will be an excellent employee.
@Thornburywitch @bacon To all whom this may concern,
I am writing to express my strong and sincere recommendation for Mr. Simon Fluffybutt as a candidate for this position.
In his previous role, Simon unlocked substantial value, leading both directly and indirectly to a strengthening of the sales pipeline, while leveraging and fully capitalising on synergistic new opportunities for revenue growth.
In a dynamic, fast-paced, lean, and agile environment, Simon demonstrates a natural flair for delivering outcomes while expertly liaising across multiple internal and external stakeholder groups with divergent expectations, while diligently managing competing priorities.
He is both a dynamic self-starter who thrives when taking ownership of projects to drive strategic results, as well as a collaborative team player who works efficiently towards shared goals and KPIs.
I have full confidence in Simon's extensive expertise, knowledge, and skillset, which will contribute meaningfully and substantively to the long-term growth of your organisation going forward.
If you have any questions in regards to this letter, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Kindest regards,
AJ

Still feeling wrecked. Am kind of wondering whether it's related to (an unpleasant road related incident)
spoiler
an accident yesterday. I was riding home and had to u-turn as there had been accident involving a motorcyclist just several minutes before. I didn't see anything, but I saw the bobbing of a head and I knew they were desperately doing CPR. A witness said they'd been trying for 5 mins and didn't know when the ambulance would arrive. They were on the way when I was riding back in the opposite direction. The news reported that he died at the scene. I'm trying not to think about it, but it's hard since I ride there almost weekly. I mean, I know that it can happen anywhere, but most people on the weekends are sort of chill. It is a winding 60km that increases to 80km, but most people on the weekends take it pretty easy. Hell, I rode Black Spur yesterday and one of the drivers was literally driving half the speed limit. sigh Just that constant reminder of life.
Sorry, just needed to offload it.
Edit: Oh no. The spoiler isnβt working on mobile? Iβm so sorry. π
Mate, being so close to the scene like that would absolutely have residual effects on your nervous system. Definitely take it easy, it can be a lot to process

Thanks, JK. It looks like that in formatting and works on desktop, but I only noticed it wasn't working on Memmy. I tried to fix it, but to no avail.
Appreciate your words, thanks.
Odd, it looked fine to me on mobile browser but not on desktop. Ah well. I think everyone here empathises with your situation. Hope your sleep improves over the week.
It's hard to witness, your feelings are valid. Make sure you take care of yourself, self-care. Sending you good vibes
Thanks, StudSpud. I guess I didn't really realise how it might have affected me. I had a pretty bad sleep last night and didn't put two and two together.
Best $7 ever spent. Doggo can no longer disappear into the night...
Edit - now in the market for a similarly priced glow-in-the-dark ball for throwing....and not losing
This reminds me of a friend from long ago who had a coal black kelpie - not a white hair on him. Named Spot, as in spot the dog .... preferably before you tripped over him.
