Couch has been chopped up and removed from the house the easiest and, coincidentally, the most satisfying way: chucked through the window! Dining table has been moved to it's new position and it's looking great in here! I even put up different curtains (my exMIL bought herself new curtains but couldn't get them up by herself, so I did that for her and scored the old ones ๐).

DEFENESTRATE! ๐ค
I was Russian to get it done in one morning
Melbcat has been seen by the specialist. As an alternative to further hospital stays sheโs home now on daily subcutaneous fluids, pain and nausea relief, and antibiotics. The idea is to support her body and keep retesting her values at least every three days while trying to let the acute kidney injury recover. ๐คIf she worsens she will have to go back into hospital.
Iโll also try to encourage her to drink broth, offer those pouches of soup style meal toppers, and get some electrolytes from the pet shop.
I have arranged alternate leave, very slightly later. This is acceptable to me. I would have LIKED it to include my birthday, but Iโll take a few days off just afterwards
Has anyone heard from Melbtown and Melbcat?
Hi - because of hospital stay costs Melbcat has been allowed to come home with supportive care and monitoring to see if her kidneys recover. ๐ค If she worsens sheโll have to go back into hospital
No but I just came here to check. If you are listening Melbs family we are thinking of you

Eeeeeek I walked through a spiders web, right across my face! Mad swiping of face and hair ensued, hoping spider wasnโt present.
Heading home from work, my bowels are UNHAPPY
I'd like to give my gratitude to my sympathetic nervous system and the crimson tide for the opportunity to look like a sick fuck at work โ๏ธ๐
I finished all seasons of The Boulet Brothers Dragula that I can access via Shudder (seasons 4-6, and Titans 1 and 2). Gonna rewatch Titans 2, and then investigate how to "obtain" seasons 1-3 and Resurrection lol
I NEED MY HORROR DRAG QUEENS AND KINGS
Edit: no one cares, but Asia Consent's Terrifier drag act (S6) was so fucking filthy, it's hands down my fav look EVER
Rutracker.org :)
Will need to make a free account. Your ISP might have blocked them because bla bla bla some bullshit about piracy.
If so, change the primary dns on your network adapter to 8.8.8.8
And secondary dns to 8.8.4.4

The worst thing about changing your diet for the better is when you decide to treat yourself like you used to and your guts decide you've been poisoned and must remove all the offending foodstuff asap. ๐ข

Got the day off so I'm doing something drastic: throwing out my couch! It's threadbare and disgusting and I'm sick of covering it with throws to try to make it look ok. It's time to get it out of the lounge room. I also want to move the dining table to the space it currently occupies. ExMrP wants to help.. I'd kind of like to do it myself but fine I guess. I threw out the last lounge suite we had on my own and this is smaller. I'll see how I go!

Had to visit Camberwell for a meeting today, not a suburb of Melbourne Iโve ever visited. Such a contrast to my west side hood, in the types of people walking around, the much nicer houses and buildings. Their office was very flashy. Felt like the person from the ghetto seeing how the other side lives.
The leafy green burbs in the east are definitely something else compared to the west.
With that in mind, feel free to rob people. They're scared of us from the other side of the bridge.

Used to live in camberwell near the junction many moons ago as a 20 something.
It was sort of souless but there was an awesome chicken place at the end of the street that arrested many a hangover.
the west and north never used to be so ghetto and run down, it's so heartbreaking to see
I think the loss of rates revenue from the now closed manufacturing and defence facilities has left these councils poor
pokies and gambling has not helped communities either
If I were in the council I'd be applying for every grant, state and federal, that I could
and would do my best to drive out pokies
nothing will stop the centuries old prejudices but standards of living can be raised and opportunities nurtured

I put in for, like, three days of leave. I did this a month out. I want the leave in late March.
Apparently the answer is still no. How damn early do I have to do it for it to be a yes?
That's bullshit. An employer can only refuse an employee's request for annual leave if the refusal is reasonable. What's their reason?
That thereโs no leave available. Too many other people want it.
But likeโฆwhy is a monthโs warning not long enough to avoid that?
