Just got Sammi home - it's like she's back to normal. She actually scarfed Zooki's roo mince which she wasn't supposed to have, inhaled the Hills vet food that she was, used the tray and is walking around reacquainting herself with the place.
If you saw her Wednesday and then today, the only difference in her is the shaved spot where they took the bloods. Oh and no purrs - I might be on her shit list for awhile.
Anyway ultrasound Wednesday, they're going to let me know what time.Went to check out a school with/for the eldest minipeeler. It seems like such a great fit for him. So hard to get a school that can help him with his anxiety, school refusal and need for re-engagement. It's a tiny school though and they have such limited places. I'm not the praying kind but I'm praying for him to get accepted. We will formally begin the application process tomorrow for next year 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This TAFE course seems pretty fun. The wifi signal down this end of the house is abysmal though, and because the repeater I had laying around needs LoS to the router, it doesn't actually help at all.
I was meant to do a janky under house ethernet setup today but the person I had convinced to crawl into the spiders lair (aka under the house) is sick. As soon as I do I swear I'm setting up a janky mesh network
Anyway the course seems nice. I like the diversity. There's more people around my age than I thought there'd be, as well as a few older people. The trainer gives off nice but stern aunty vibes too, but seems sweet
Also also, every time I have to meet new people, I'm always astounded by how close my mental pictures are. Just through 1-2 emails and their name and role, I can usually figure out what they'll look like before I ever actually meet them. It's like a party trick at this point
Payday today!! I'm trying to get the enthusiasm levels up like all you Wednesday pay people from last week, but when you have a strict budget it's all divided up and spent before you get it anyway.
It is nice seeing the car money creeping higher though - I've gone from "could buy another car the same as mine if I crash it" level to being able to get something that's a bit nicer. Slowly moving towards the point I can buy a car I would actually choose to buy without being forced by the death of my current one.
8.5 hours straight with no lunch break (by my own choice because I didn't want to spend even longer outside). Ugh, I had hoped it would be a short day today - it was easy at least, mostly support for someone else and driving - but just a lot of time standing around not working on my assignment, while my brain and guts are in stress overdrive again. I'm glad that my work now ends when I leave, but whose bright idea was it to reintroduce ongoing stress with uni!!!
I'm going to just eat and lie down for a bit before I attempt to do any uni stuff. I'm 70% of the way there. Just need to skim through enough articles to cite them appropriately...
Vet just called - as before, nothing detected in the external examination and nothing in the blood tests. They're going to x-ray her and if nothing shows up on that, organise an ultrasound. Also they'll give her fluids and an anti nausea injection since she has been vomiting on and off since Thursday.
works gone to complete and utter shit. We're being forced into this project that we all know is gonna end in a complete dumpster fire, but we (as in everyone in my department, managers included) cant do anything to stop it. Gonna chat to my boss and just say "look I cant reconcile this shit, you want it done? Fine, but I dont want to talk about it for a second more than we have to". The greater department has this habit of turning their meetings into therapy/bitching sessions and I'm just not here for it.
Till this Project Doom is completed we're sticking to facts any talking about it as little as possible.
thats fair enough isnt it? Honestly sat in the meeting where it was announced on seek, and I dont reckon I was alone in that.
One thing I'm really quite good at is packing to go on a trip really quickly. I've got like 3 laptops, an ipad, a 27" monitor, a media streamer, PS5 controller and all manner of cables, my clothes and my CPAP machine all fitting snuggly into my trusty suitcase. Then I have my backpack of stuff and a tote with foodstuffs and my blender. All took maybe 30-40 minutes and there was a shower in there too.
Funny bones ain't that funny when you scrape one across a door frame. I was carrying my recycle box back inside and I'm like "DON'T THROW IT. DON'T THROW IT".
this week my old printer is going to the electronic rubbish bin 👋
