Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
As far as trees go the Myer one is pretty great. I thought it would be cute to give the toddler a job to do: handing out the baubles. Worked great for about three minute till he got annoyed that we were going too slow and started chucking them around the room and ripping the ones off the tree.
He keeps taking the dog ones to the dogs to show them their photos.
EDIT: sorry realized one of the decorations had names on it.
Kidcalhoon2's left ear piercing is constantly getting infected. Not their right ear, not once. Salt spray will clear it up, but then will be back in a month. Surgical steel and everything.... Could they get an allergic reaction just in one piercing?
Edit. Thanks for all the comments. I've got a feeling these ones were chemist bought. Also they do sleep more on that side so that could be part of it too
Pretty unlikely to be allergic, but you could try gold or titanium. The pillowcase theory sounds probable. I've 13 piercings in my ears, usually only have trouble with them if I get sick and don't wash my hair enough.
Ahh Melbcat was unusually spicy last vet visit so she only got her Solensia… her shot of B12 is overdue https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rPIt52BwTak
I’ve called the vet and set this in motion, it looks like I am going to have to overcome my needle phobia and learn to give them at home
Can't wait to have the wisdom teeth taken out. One of the stupid idiots decided to grow dead sideways. Not slightly sideways, almost a straight horizontal angle directly into the next tooth. Usually it's okay, but every now and again evidently I do something it doesn't like and then it really hurts. Today was one of those days
For some reason, whenever I have any tooth pain, my immediate, subconscious, dare I say instinctual response is to grind that tooth. No clue why. It makes the pain much worse, but it helps for about half a second I guess
I think it’s definitely getting a little late to sow the cherry tomato seeds, and maybe even the pumpkin ones too… :(
Feeling bored, shitty and constrained. Weirdly devastated for some reason
Nah I think its still fine. Tomato season has run late these last few years and pumpkins will still grow in late summer. Sprinkle them into soil now. Keep them moist this week and see what happens.
