Melbcat hid from me when I came back in the room after giving her meds :( She got over it quickly and is cuddling again but that’s the first time she’s ever acted scared of me. (I’ve never hurt her.)
She’s perked up a lot and seems to be feeling better on everything so I think it’s all working. It just sucks that the routine she’s currently on is full on and stressful (not helped by her refusing to eat medicated food like before).
I hope that when the antibiotics are done she starts eating her usuals in wet food again so she only has to drink one med once a day.
It might be a weirdly good thing she’s hiding from you; she’s getting better and so has the energy for doing so. If she was still so utterly sick, she might not have the energy to hide, I’d take it as a sign the med routine is working! Plus, it sounds like you’ve been forgiven very easily, she certainly, without a doubt, trusts and loves you!
You’re taking wonderful care of her! I’m so happy to hear she’s feeling more herself! 💜
Thanks. She’s definitely feeling better. She’s walking around, washing herself, curious about things and hungry for treats. Her fur looks good and her eyes more normal.
I think she knows I would never hurt her. She’s just overwhelmed by the current hardcore meds regime. Still sucks to see her anxious.

that’s really awesome 🙂
Shouting “atsb report!” At the cat as he jumps over the toddler who’s decided to crawl for some reason.
Okay so I’ve always had this problem with the hot water tap in the shower where if you turn it far right enough it turns on again and goes to full blast (not an analogy for conspiracy theorists, I promise). I have usually been able to turn it to just the right point to get it to stop running without starting again.
However as of the last 3 days or so the showerhead has been dripping incessantly and getting worse and worse. Right now it’s a constant trickle. Even if I turn off the tap as much as possible and turn the shower head upside down. I tried to turn it off completely at the mains and IT STILL WONT TURN OFF (and I can see it’s my meter for sure as when I have the tap running I can see the mini meter spinning).
This is beyond an attempt to DIY fix the shower tap, right? Contact the REA asap instead? The main bother is the dripping at night as I can’t sleep. Nobody’s charged me for hot water so far so that’s not the issue … It would be costing the owner a lot though I imagine
Definitely contact someone and don’t try to tackle it yourself (just in case). I’m no expert but there could be something wrong that could go sideways and result in difficulty turning off a strong flow
Contact the REA for sure. It may classify as an urgent repair even, per the tenantsvic website:

Specifically:
- A failure or breakdown of any essential service or appliance provided for water, hot water, cooking, heating or doing laundry
- A failure or breakdown in any appliance or fitting supplied by the rental provider that will result in a large amount of water being wasted

This is great to know. I wasn’t sure it counted as urgent repair but I will definitely be making that clear to them now. The leaking is pretty bad now, I think all my tap turning has made it worse. I may have to put a towel in the bathtub to soak up the water so I can sleep at night.
Shit timing though, idk how long to wait before getting my own plumber and trying to get LL to reimburse
I believe on that website, the REA has to have it repaired ASAP! No waiting period, only waiting for as long as it takes for the LL/REA to get a plumber
If they don’t do it in a reasonably timely manner, then you can take them to VCAT, in which it will be heard within 2 business days and/or get a plumber yourself and have the REA reimburse you. But the tenantsvic website should lay it all out for you in regards to your rights and reimbursement
Thank you thank you thankyou. Good update is I managed to turn off the hot water at the source, like an idiot I had turned the knob the wrong way around. At least I can sleep tonight. Took video of dripping shower head and faulty tap mechanism and will hope for the best
A tap shouldn’t full circle like that in the first place. It’s a safety hazard. You could probably DIY it, but what are you paying the bastards for?
If it was minor it would be the kind of thing I figured would keep me on their good enough side if I fixed it myself (lease ends in mid May with potential for extension and I really do need it for just 1-2 extra months).
But the fact that even turning off the hot water at the mains did nothing has me worried
I have been touched by the sun, also, it’s generally not a good idea to bring crabs home.
day out looking at houses and walking on the beach has been attained
😺
I took photos
there was a Great Egret near the yacht club,
and some burrows on the beach where crabs live
and a boring pic of stripes
cheers
Had a long day so broke my 2025 rule of no grog on a weeknight and shouted myself a little wine and hour looking at the waves. Such a beautiful evening
🥂
looks like heaven
I approve of this!
Oh I moved all my meetings into a block from 11am to 2pm so I can sleep in and finish early?
Well, well, well lol
You can attend all my classes tomorrow instead, it goes till 6.30pm 😂
Fuuuuuuck thaaaaaaaat lol
Dang it! So close!
If my dog saw me get something from the fridge he likes, he’d do a little Irish jig but now he sits nicely like a drug detection dog.
I swear my dog knows the sound of cheese being grated. Mind you for tax time, I can make it rain (cheese) for him.
Oh yeah. Radar ears. Drop a vegetable and it’s like I’m poisoning him. Drop cheese or meat and he doesn’t leave my side.
Made it down the bellarine today. Had a subsurface leak last Monday (blehg) so all the watering was off. Good thing I did go as the chillies were looking a bit sad. But interestingly the patio flowers didn’t flinch.
Was expecting worse than that.
Looking great 👍🏼
That’s beautiful!
Changing guitar strings around Gibson is fraught with danger for everyone involved
Ha! Try lacing a corset.
that’s what hooks and eyes are for
The pull strings of a hoodie 😭
The useless strings on my pyjama pants as I stumble back to bed after my midnight wee are often captured by a single hooked claw on my way past the end of the bed.
Oh god yes!
Hi everyone, long time no see :-)
I’ve been absent for a bit - I think I crashed a bit after Covid, but I am alive and well and getting back on track.
yay, happy to see you again 😘 good to hear you are getting better
It’s good to hear from you!
🥂
Welcome hooome!
Welcome back!
Good to see you back again!
Great to see you back!
Welcome back!
It’s good to hear from you! I was worried you’d joined the many who have departed for one reason or another. I hope you’re able to take things easy for a while.
It was a bit weird - I thought I was better, but I just couldn’t be bothered doing anything. Then I actually got better and realised I hadn’t actually been completely well after all! A bit like having a dream that you woke up, and then actually waking up.
fuck covid, I swear the covid fog made me paranoid and feeling like I had dementia when I wasn’t freaking out
I did get one good symptom - it killed my appetite for a while, and whilst it has come back it is currently still just at a fairly normal level instead of the weird constant peri-menopausal super hunger I’ve had for ages. I’m hoping it lasts as long as possible, it might actually be possible for me to lose some of my excessive weight - I’ve already lost enough that my clothes are fitting properly again.
🥰💋
Omg raven!!! Thank goodness you’re okay!!! 💜💜💜💜 I’m so glad to see you back!! 😭💜💜💜
Thank you. It is nice to know I’ve been missed 🙂

Welcome to the club. Get reading to spend whatever is left of your savings at bunnings
Bunnings is a danger, but I’ll be walking distance to Poynton’s which could be worse 😝
Ha! Dishwasher (leaked and went kaput) and shower leaks here
in our case it was the goddamn extractor fan for the kitchen and the ducted heating flame sensor.
Congratulations!!
Congrats 🎉🥂🍾
HUZZAHHHHHH!!! Congratulations!!!
