That’s something I can get behind

You’ve done so much. Enjoy the wine and a rest, you’ll be through the rest fast
I’m moving all my stuff to the back room… a bit worried that when the ceiling gets done in there it’ll waft mould spores and plaster dust all over my belongings but I might try to pack everything in into sealed boxes.
Oversprayed the bottle of Feliway inside the tent and am now trying to air it out. Ordered lime sulphur dip off Amazon. I’m being crazy and inviting so much chaos into my life. But if I cave and bring the scabby baby inside I need to be prepared to contain him.

Rethinking my decision to give the cat away to rescue... I wanted to not have to go through yet another high stress time again so soon, didn't want to replace Melbcat, and also wanted to get him safely on a lifeboat out of this shitty place. But it's not looking likely that he'll have somewhere to go and I'm getting attached to him.
But it's not that simple. I have no idea if he'll accept indoor living and this blasted ringworm makes it near impossible to slowly get him used to it. (Perhaps if I could find an affordable plastic floor covering that could cover an entire room? Or a painting drop sheet? There is self adhesive carpet protector but I'd have to price it out and the adhesive may transfer and be hard to get out of carpet. It's happened with masking tape on clothing and walls.) I have no idea if the meds will get rid of it quickly. If there'll be a microchip that shows up. Whether I'll always compare him to Melbcat. The LEGALITIES. I hate uncertainty and only time will tell what is going to happen here. 🙃
Edit: Checking out Aldi on the laptop and see the site now has sorting options and Doordash delivery. I don't want to use Doordash but depending on delivery cost this could be a game changer for people without cars or much PT. So angry my body decided to nerf me because there are a lot of very cheap basics (at least on the site) and with my meal prep skills I could be eating so cheaply and well... unfortunately many I can't have and the few things I can eat aren't really available in the actual shop.
Cool! I’m not the lady in the video but still good to learn
Yep. It’s not even back to back crises, they overlap and stack.
Did you do that? Nice job.
I was wanting to learn how to whittle but not sure I can be trusted with a proper sharp knife
Fuzzbutt was crying outside so I hurriedly made up the tent… but he got impatient and left. Didn’t get to give the meds. Hopefully he comes back.
I’m thinking of slinging some winter warmer poverty meals out there but don’t know whether to put it in Aussie Frugal or Food Australia

Ah shit. Despite posting about it 2 years ago I haven’t been shopping around between energy retailers or applying for discounts.
But I’ve had so much on my mind. It’s constant survival mode with no time or space to really sit down and get anything sorted.
Yeah I think he knows I wouldn’t hurt him.
Years ago he had his little buns parked on my hot water heater (probably just a visitor at the time) and I was very gently poking him with a pipe to shoo him away (because of my cat)… he wasn’t scared in the slightest and just smooched the pipe like I was patting him.
No judgement here, it happens
