Shout out to the legend trying to intimidate me in his new Audi this morning. Bruh I'm in a shitbox hatchback missing more paint than I have emotional issues, you really think I'm scared of you hitting my car? Its 6am, windy AF and I'm doing the limit. The threat of you scratching your +100k car against my 7k (If that!) car aint the threat you think it is.

Just took Sammi for her ultrasound - poor love hadn't been herself all yesterday to the point where I phoned the vet again - they suggested admitted her overnight but there wouldn't have been anyone there so I decided to keep her home. Wise choice - the wind woke us both up at 3 and she was straight off with the snuggles and purrs and this morning she was demanding breakfast - unfortunately I couldn't give her it since it's a fasting procedure.
Now having a coffee and cake in Mentone while I wait for the school traffic to clear.

Got to my early morning grocery delivery before the birds this morning. It was out there for 15 minutes so they must have been busy

I got one of those mealy box things denigrated in the 12am-8am slot, once. It was 11:30 and still hadn't been put on their truck, so I figured it was gonna be more of a 5/6am delivery and went to sleep. Then at 7 I woke up, and saw a text from 12:23 telling me it had been delivered 😟

Luckily the ice block kept out cool enough I wasn't too worried, but I'm never making that mistake again!

I have shifted wake up time to 6am from 7. I enjoy the darker start to the day.

Cat ramblesMelbcat got her antibiotics yesterday! Now I have to wrestle her (gently) to ensure she swallows the weird banana flavoured liquid instead of sneakily spitting it out. I am deeply unpopular for a few minutes afterwards (until it’s time to cuddle again).

If the infection reoccurs after this she may be referred to a specialist to check for underlying causes. I’m so glad I’ve maintained a bit of an emergency fund because if need be I will absolutely be getting a lift and going for it.

 

I’ve found an old smaller sketchbook + just a normal pencil sharpened in a standard way (both more portable) and am using it to scribble for art exercises. I’m also doing them as multiple tiny drawings on one page just so it doesn’t take forever to get the idea down, shade, draw precise lines or just finish. Also doing it while watching trashy video essays on youtube.

I really don’t have a lot of spare energy to create so trying to lose the perfectionism and just do easy structured doodles is probably the only way I could get anything done.

Just remember to say 'away'.

I feel like that could go wrong so easily 😅
