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 🫠

Good morning

I feel like I should save and back up any pictures or music I want to keep onto a hard drive and maybe even have a few versions.

Annoyed that I haven’t done so already because it’s a complete no brainer but life has basically been survival mode for a very long time and any kind of organisation has fallen by the wayside. Even now it seems like a mammoth task.

Physical media just seems like a sensible way to go. I envy the people who are organised and disciplined enough to ‘go caveman’, and also the people who can wrangle Linux.

While going through saving old pictures to my computer I found some of my old art. Doxable so I won’t post it.

But how the hell is it better and more prolific than my art now? To be fair it was basically just copying pictures I liked but there’s some original stuff in there. And back then I didn’t have access to any of the resources I do now, no education on fundamentals other than some completely forgotten lessons as a kid, nothing. I didn’t know to do frames or shapes. I just did the contour lines and paid close attention to the space between them. The hands are a bit wonky but I drew hands wtf.

I guess it’s just elbow grease. Which I’m currently so very short on 😮‍💨

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

Oh it's for pet photos with Santa.

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.

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

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
