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.
You wish they could just tell you what’s going on.
You do 😕
so many gentle hugs and good wishes
Thank you 😊
I’ve been reading stuff on the internets.
Wikipedia is wrong!!
The Edit Wars are getting worse.
They have cold soda water water on tap
a pub?
I’m sorry I don’t want to dox myself 👀
😂
how did that happen I hit reply.
Maybe we need to make this a thing: reply to the comment above the one you’re actually replying to
This week’s shit weather is brought to you by my annual leave. Not. Happy. Jan.
First cherry blossom out! which means shorts starting from tomorrow.
Mine are almost finished.
Jeez mines’ a bit slow then!
edit: should point out that this one only flowers for a week then a small gust of wind it’s all gone.
I’ve been getting about ten days of petals the last few years. Less and less each year :(
First day of new job 😬 hoping to not have a napkin-sneeze moment
Good luck!
Congrats on the new job forcey!
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.
Monday pay people represent! The boss does our payslip in the morning but our pays sometime during the afternoon, so it’s a small “yay” when I get the email and a bigger more relieved “YAY” when the bread is in the bag.
We used to get the pay slip available on the pay system some random time during the day, but there is no email or any notification so you just have to keep checking if it is there. Recently they started doing it earlier so it is there over the weekend which is much better. We have a stupidly complicated pay structure with varying penalty rates so we always have to go through and double check everything for errors (although not everyone’s math skills are up to the task, so they probably get away with a lot of mistakes).
My bank now notifies me when the actual money goes into the bank, so that is always nice to see.
Any improvement Sammi had was minimal, so I phoned the vet and they’ve admitted her for observation and further tests (including hopefully an abdominal ultrasound).
Cross fingers for us.♥ 🤞

Despite being directly the in projected storm path, we were spared the brunt of it.
Wind and rain for about 15 minutes and then some small hail.
Overall, not the worst we’ve had.
My gutter struggled inner east :( I am sick of ladders. At least the roof didn’t leak for once.
I was gonna say, not that bad out here either. Fair bit of lightning and thunder but no hail or anything. Apparently emerald copped it though.
Apart from the power going off for maybe half an hour, which was kinda fun tbh, it wasn’t as bad as we were expecting.
I was living in Horsham when the power station blew up on a hot day in November. I was watching one of those mid Arvo money programs on tv (the millionaires chaser or whatever), then the power went out. Then there was a bang. Then there were sirens. Went outside, and there was a gigantic black plume directly in front of us (we were on the other side of town, but a small town and the lack of high-rises makes it easy to see such things). Then like 2 hours later we got a text message from powercor, saying the power is out. Was a bit of a “ya think???” Situation, but from memory they fixed it the next morning
It National Dog Day today
Inherited doggie from my mum after she was put into a home.
Been awhile now so no longer with us.
This was a few weeks after we adopted her, but here’s my old dog Ruby. She loves with my ex now. Happy National Dog Day!
Ruby
Sleepy dogs are so cute!
A blanket fort! Very cute!
Doggo in cat hammock being guard. If I can get the photo to load…
I haven6got a dog but there are 3 dogs important to me. One is this guy and the other was this guy. Both dogs helped my son get over his fear of dogs. And then there was Rook, the 2ish year old jet black great Dane, who is a great big baby who lived down the road from me. Unfortunately his owners were evicted so the landlord could do extensive renovations and I don’t see him anymore 😢
♥
I don’t have a dog, and don’t have decent photos of the last dog I did have, but I have many photos of Toby. Toby was a dog that one of the workers at my last place used to bring in most weeks. I haven’t seen him in over a year though, but he’s a good boy.
He always looked angry, but never really acted angry. He barely even barked. Still looked like he was having some violent intrusive thoughts though
Sadly I don’t think I have any photos of happy Toby, because as soon as he saw the camera, he’d turn away or put on a frown. He was a tired little guy though, and by the end of the night he’d conk out on the couch and adopt the belly rub position before going back to sleep
I think I love Toby.
Oh my. I’m in love with his little grumpy face!
He’s very cute and also the same name of my dog.
Dogs bring smiles to people faces. ☺
T-minus 2 hours until my first class. Freaky.
The only issue is, my internet is down :D
Fingers crossed it comes back online!
I managed to fix it by giving the NBN box a good old smack and power cycle
Aye I’m glad the ways of the elders have trickled down to the youth.
I’ve fixed many an old box TV by smacking it on the wide.
It’s kind of hilarious how as soon as something as technologically advanced/sophisticated as modern technology breaks, our monkey brains still resort to “SLAP BOX”, and usually the box of wonders starts working again right afterwards
I have a laptop I use as a seedbox whose fan will just randomly start freaking out. Sounds like a jet plane.
I kick it.
It stops freaking out.
We have an understanding.
Yay. Day 1 down with no embarrassing moments to report. New place is nice. They have cold soda water water on tap 😍
Awesome. 🥤
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…
I just saw this. I haven’t used Zotero but the Lemmy nerds recommend it https://mander.xyz/post/17175983
as an academic, zotero is absolutely the way to go.
Endnote does a job, but is comparatively slow, clunky and huge as a program - not to mention expensive, if you don’t have institutional access.
Even WITH institutional access to endnote, I use zotero and pay for syncing myself.
train went pass south yarra
spotify ad 2000s Dad Rock Mixexcuse me what
-find the playlist- WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS AND GOING UNDER ARE MUSIC FOR OLD PEOPLE NOW?okay
Yep. We’re old.
I don’t know what either of those are, so maybe?
I hate when my fears come true like this.
the joke “Someone remembered to wake Billie Joe, yeah?” on the 1/10th will never not be funny, so I guess in a sense it always has been dad rock?
Instructions unclear (or I couldn’t read them without my glasses), now Billy Joel is mad at me and demanding I get out of his house for some reason.
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.I’m glad to hear she’s feeling better ❤️
I was surprised by the Wattle Festival and just the sheer size of it yesterday. We only did part of the main street of Hurstbridge and we hardly got to the whole thing.
I was going to go last year - they were running steam train specials out to Hurstbridge. Don’t know if they did that this year. Unfortunately we missed our train which made us miss the other trains and it wasn’t possible to recover from, even though it was a shuttle train
Yes, they had the steam train out again. I might try to get the kids on there next year because they were getting tired around 11 and we had afternoon plans. We got to see it leave before we headed off at least
