Wonder dog is a Koolie Kelpie cross.
I’m Caity. I like cooking, reading, and I have aged parents, one of whom has dementia. My family are in Adelaide, Australia. I live in South East Queensland, Australia.
That’s what you’re in for.

Well, having been exercise-shamed by my psychiatrist this morning, I just went for a Stupid Walk for my Stupid Mental Health. 6 minutes. In the biting cold. and ok, it wasn’t much, or far, but you better believe it was fast! “Feel’s like” is 7.9, and we’ve had the heater on all day today. (And the Evil Neighbour is prone to stalking behaviour - I notice they have just gone out, so I was lucky to dash in and out before they got me.)

@purplepadma Thanks. I’m trying to be better about moving my body generally. It’s not easy!

Arvo, Toots. Disturbed night again - and managed to somehow sleep through two alarms - if hadn’t come out got me up, I would have missed my online appointment with my psychiatrist! Oops! That out of the way, I have now found there is yet another fee associated with the South Australian family grave transfer documents, and the MoooAaaning cooow scissor lift is back in operation across the road. Think I’ll start a pot of soup.
How’s your day going?

Poor has not had a good evening - she ate her dinner (good, after not eating yesterday's) but I think she hadn't drunk enough today. She was panting, acting oddly, and when I checked, her nose was a bit dry - and worryingly, her gums were a bit pale. Managed to get her to drink, and to eat ice cubes (her favourite!) Think the gabapentin had her a bit loopy...

I have been awake since 530. Because the workers renovating the crappy old light industrial building directly across the street arrived then. And at 6 am they started their scissor lift, which moans like a dying cow every time it moves up or down, or drives along the building. MOOOOOaaaannnn whirrrr clatter "Oi! Watchit, maate!" Bang Bang bang bang MOooAaannn whirrr Baang bang...
Might as well get up then I suppose.

@anathema_device When and partner took the bin out early this morning, Wonderdog barked at the MooooAANing Cow scissor lift man (fair enough) and here was an attempted shout from Evil Neighbour. Attempted - his usual is loud and nasty. This sounded like he could barely speak. Is it wrong to hope the silly twat has given himself double pneumonia , lurking about, spraying water, and kicking the fence in the cold of the night?

Last Boosted Toot (re the Emerge Recommendations for in Australia) - I have posted before on why I haven’t engaged with MECFS specialists in a long time. This report calls for parliament to implement these recommendations, which include updating Australia’s treatment plans to world standards instead of the current 2002 version of treatments, abandoned everywhere. Yep - 2002. Can you think of another illness still being treated in such an outdated way?

Arvo, Toots! Achievements so far today: has been to see her friends at the vets. She hates the car ride there, but adores the vets - so her 2 monthly “spa” visit (anal glands, nail trim, general check over, medication update) was a success. She snuggled in the back seat on the way home. Partner then did groceries, I replaced the batteries in my iPad keyboard case - took a bit of doing, but done! Now I’m updating my lists, and thinking about what to make for dinner.
And you?

@anathema_device Doing well! Good to get that washing down before the coming rain!

I find the vast majority of yogurt products in American grocery stores to be totally inedible, except the stuff made by immigrants and sold at immigrant markets (desi yogurt, or Lebanese or Turkish labneh). Way too much sugar, or hype, sometimes both. My stomach also does better with the dairy from immigrant markets.

@timrichards @skinnylatte And so many Australian ones, too!

It makes sense that MacOS has a few words in its spellchecking dictionary that aren’t in the Oxford Dictionary used by the Dictionary app. “Genevieve” is one example.

But it makes no sense to me that some words the Dictionary app knows are redlined by the spellchecker.

@anathema_device well spotted! Yep, I did wonder - not our usual Koel! But by that stage I was beyond tired. Ordinarily I would be happy to hear the Boobook...

indoor bird watching :)

@caity@bne.social avatar

@anathema_device LOL! My old Burmese used to love watched bird documentaries, would do the little “Hunting” mouth chatter and everything. In real life, she was terrified by birds, and when sunning herself in our enclosed Canberra backyard, the sparrows used to chase her inside!

So very impressed with the high definition scans the nice photo man has sent back of my two test slides, I’m definitely getting him to do a few more of my more important ones - the bulk ones I’ll get a gadget a set up to do myself, but the ones I want big prints of, I’m definitely then taking down to him. Photo, just as an example - me in the middle (“Have the kids wear something RED, it looks good in photos!”) Me in middle, my younger sister, baby brother, unknown location.

Morning, Toots! Today is psychologist day, and sorely needed for a debrief after my Adelaide visit to family. Then we’re planning a visit to the greengrocers, because I’m loving the way the AirFryer roasts vegetables! Also hoping for some good Granny Smith apples, to have another try at apples, cored, stuffed with dried fruit, a little brown sugar and cinnamon, and wrapped in puff pastry, and baked in the air fryer. Experiments continue!
What are you doing today, friends?

OH NOES!!!

I can no longer afford olive oil. What else can I use? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-25/olive-oil-cost-of-living-alternatives-/103888144

@caity@bne.social avatar

@timrichards Not just a MCP, IMHO. (Am I middle class in a household living on two pensions??) we use olive oil for almost everything for our health. Australian Olive Oil, because a) Australian, b) Taste, c) Freshness, d) Air miles. Yes, I will probably use some canola or sunflower oil instead, but it’s not my first choice. I already use a sprayer for oil for the . But for salad dressings and the occasional olive oil cake? Aussie Olive Oil, please.

Arvo, Toots. Having a slow one today - all of us feeling the colder weather, and feeling it in our bones. is booked in to see her vet later in the week, for a refill of her arthritis medicine; partner has retreated for a nap. I am reflecting on a discussion I had last night with an old friend who still thinks that can be managed with “routine,” and maaate. I’ve lived with this since 1992, that’s 32 years now. You think there’s anything I haven’t TRIED?!

@anathema_device Yep, Pretty much my reaction…
