I’m not sure if she’ll try it but cheese soufflé is quite soft and isn’t too bad to make if you don’t fuss about getting the height. I made it in home ec when I was sixteen.

Basically it’s cheese sauce and yolks(?) folded into stiff beaten egg white and baked with the ramekins or bowl sitting in a pan of water. It ends up like a soft moist pudding.

Edit: That said you’ve already done more than your share of catering and effort also has to come from them

Oof. I had one tooth pulled and while that pain was manageable it gave me the worst headache and made me hesitant to eat in case I would disturb the site and cause dry socket. Straws were forbidden.

NG tube is an option or even parenteral nutrition but I know it will be refused. I have a quick no temper stovetop custard recipe using real eggs but she doesn’t sound like a fan of sweets. And ol’ boy won’t cook it.

I don’t know if you can get through to him but I’m hoping she manages okay. I really am. I don’t envy the position you’re in, all the responsibilities but no say. If things go sideways it won’t be your fault.

Thanks. It would be nice if the universe stopped throwing things at me for five minutes 😵‍💫

Melbcat got seen, pain meds back up to original dose, another urine sample taken because the original results went AWOL. Blood may have been taken… Follow up tomorrow.

I deserve some kind of treat but can’t think what.

That sounds great

Melbcat has been eating a little and peed but still seems a bit flat and sort of groans and sighs as if in discomfort. Getting her seen.

Are you also finding the recent updates giving you a lot of grief?

Mine is like 6 years old but unfortunately I have updated to the crap versions and still use it for everything

God I hope so. I don’t know if I can handle any more physical labour or mental load.

Edit:

Saw the black cat so went out to pat him and pour some food. But yeah, due to seeing his tiny bald spots and seeing him scratch his head I showered completely with sulfur soap and Selsun Gold afterwards.

Also if it is - how the hell would I even be able to treat him?

Yeah, like barn cats 🤔

Yeah I’m moving this meat to the freezer as I won’t be able to cook it today. Right now the focus is getting things back up off the floor and doing laundry including the clothes that fell in case of any flea eggs.

My BigDubya stick vac works impressively for the size and quality but it’s too late to use it right now. I wish it was quieter. It’s such a hassle to vacuum with a thing that screams but the quieter stick vacs in my budget don’t pick up a thing.

I wish my sleep schedule would correct 🫩

I’m also late with meds because cat won’t come out of the hidey hole. I just had to reach in at a contorted angle to give an oral syringe one handed and blind.

Oh that sucks that they’re poisoning them now. And that makes it less safe to eat them.

It sounds a bit heartless but with cost of living being what it is, it might be useful (and more effective not to mention humane) for more people to hunt them for food
