    TV Review. The Outlaws. BBC by Stephen Merchant.

    it’s a really good show, just not the show I wanted to watch.

    coming of age series

    But not everything has to be a tense drama with ultra violence

      (my emergency early morning anxiety goto - in case it helps.)

      Blanket burrito yourself, STAT. Close eyes. What are all the noises you hear? What’s the furtherest away noise? Listen. As you calm notice warmth and texture. If you can get down another notch notice breath. Can you listen, feel, breathe all together?

      And the ball is legit but you have amazing strength. Reach out if you need anything practical (food, transport, etc) to get through.

    Warmer than the fridge outside!! I might be able to forgoe the fingerless gloves and scarf for our walk this morning.

    Today’s main task is going to be polysyrene disposal - all the furniture I bought included a ridiculous amount of the stuff, and I haven’t even opened all the boxes yet. I have a pile in the back of the van to take to the recycling centre in Bayswater, unfortunately there are no recycling options for polystyrene around Ballarat. I’ll probably be able to bring another lot down after the move, as I’ll have to come back to do some more garden tidying etc. anyway. I’ll also have a van load of cardboard boxes to take to the tip, moving things around uses an awful lot of packaging.

    This may make me sound 100 years old but I think I’m growing partial to email clients. If I look at my emails in a separate program to my browser it stops me getting lost on the internet instead of doing what I’m trying to. It also means my email tab isn’t taking up all this RAM.

    And I really should cut Google out of my life. That will be easier if the interface I use for emails is the same, it doesn’t matter what provider I’m using.

    Also, I got sick of all the ads in Gmail’s Promotions section. No ads in a client.

      100 years old? I think it makes you sound ten. A being of a world colonised by google.

      Also if you remember the ol’’ netscape communicator suite try seamonkey. it’s awesome

        I’ll check it out. Initial impressions are it’s how we should be using the internet instead of being forced to use the same couple of websites for everything

    having to tell people off for having an ad hoc meeting right next to my desk. The looks they gave me I nearly turned around and said “Bro this isnt even your area! If your gonna sit in IT’s section least you can do is be respectful and not shout at each other 2 meters from my desk!”

      I have the same problem, especially when I’m on my break though I don’t have the courage to tell people they’re being too loud and disturbing me,

      Yeah, the crunchy to alt-right pipeline :( Gotta watch out for that in certain hobbies for sure.

      This is especially disgusting though. It’s no longer a dogwhistle but a foghorn.

      There are some episodes of the QAA podcast on the crossover between the wellness industry and conspiracy theories so this doesn’t feel like a massive jump.

      When people are already rejecting vaccines and science it’s probably easier to sell them on eugenics

        Yeah, just look at RFK jr

        All his weird wellness stuff and proposal of work camps for ‘addicts’ (cough fascism) and now he’s trying to find the cause of/cure autism (cough eugenics)

    Polystyrene has now been disposed of, and I stopped in for some more packing materials on the way back. Oh, alright, it was actually the craft resource rescue place, and the packing materials are mostly bits of fabric etc., but close enough! I also grabbed a couple of rectangular tins with hinged lids which were some sort of promotional hair care thing, but will be great little rubbish bins for the bathrooms. I had plans for a big coffee tin, but these will work better - I might even cover them with the wallpaper I found.

    Power is out for works and that always stresses me out so badly even when it’s just a few hours. It feels like being cut off from warmth, light, and other people.

    I have a solar powered lamp and some power packs but they don’t hold much charge and my phone battery drops so fast (especially when I won’t stop using it). Just waiting for things to go back to normal.

    TW vomiting

    I’m also having a lot of pain and nausea so I’m being sick in the shower with hot water running over me. It in turn is stressing Melbcat out. Unfortunately this is routine.

    I’m grateful for everything I have in life. I just wish it was a bit easier.

    Ugh. Accidentally napped, and woke up quite late for Melbcat’s meds.

    Cat tmi

    She’s still been crying and desperately ran away after using the litterbox today so I think her uti is still causing pain. When it should be settling? She’s constipated too.

    Already been to the vet on Tuesday to try and find out what the pain is but now I think it’s that.

    I’ve given the extra pain relief on top of her usual and might have to just give it more routinely instead of waiting for the need. Making my alarms louder so I actually hear them.

    I need to find where that Cystapro stuff is - it’s bright red and tastes terrible but maybe right now it could give some relief. I’ve given her a hot water bottle to lie on while I look.

    I also mixed a little Osmolax into her wet food with extra water plus pumpkin baby food and might keep that up until things improve.

    Edit: That is so weird. I can’t find the Cystapro capsules. I did stop using it but don’t remember throwing them away

    Man, I think I caught a bit of whatever’s going around. No respiratory issues whatsoever, don’t think I even have a fever but the headache came back with a vengeance and I’ve been so fatigued with so little appetite that I only got out of bed for the first time at 9:30 PM - yes, PM, nearly 24 hrs straight in bed - to pee (an unholy dark liquid) and eat and drink something. Feel full after a couple of bites although my stomach is making all the food noises. Managed to keep down dinner, took two Nurofen with an antacid, back in bed and I hope to HELL that I’ll feel better tomorrow.
