Damn, Power And Water cracked down on bottle-sharing now? /s

That’s how corporations nickel and dime you. I resist subscription services almost completely (I pay for cloud backup storage for my phone in case of breakage/theft and that’s it) because as well as being a constant financial drain they inevitably degrade and enshittify, often even removing things you paid for

I don’t know what to say other than that I agree with you. Dominant retailers (especially supermarkets) were and are profiteering during a crisis and these ‘prices drops’ of cents are merely a sop.

At this point a fair few people can’t even afford some of those goods

Unfortunately not much, but thanks for asking.

I feel like shit lately. Physically and mentally. Easily getting very cranky, absolutely bored with everything. Constantly stressed.

I’m just putting one foot in front of the other. Caring for my cat and plants, doing the bare minimum essential tasks and trying to avoid anything that makes it worse.

Butters is a browned butter blondie

Good bot. He just wanted to show some support by joining too

Hmm… feeling a bit jaded on hobbies lately. There’s not a ton I can do right now.

I could start another Minecraft world but that usually gets a bit boring. I focus on building and play on single player peaceful because I don’t have the patience to fight the annoying mobs. (Or to deal with the twelvies on the servers.)

Melbcat is eating a tiny bit of her biscuits but not nearly as much as I’d like so she’s still getting the extra wet feeds. It’s also weight management food for indoor cats when I want her to gain a bit back. :(

A friend is collecting some parsley seedlings and Seasol for me, and another pot. The water reservoir underneath is only accessible by a tiny hole so if I don’t leave it available in any other way Melbcat won’t be able to have a tasty fertiliser drink.

Melbcat’s biscuits arrived! She was keen to try them, they’re also quite hard but with effort she crunched a small amount down. I’m hoping it’s not too difficult for her.

My spinach are starting to grow tiny second leaves. Some slow release fertiliser might speed things up but I’m not sure if it’s the right kind for the carrots

Edit: Checking my history I sowed the cat grass about a month ago and barely any have sprouted. It’s been about 20 days for the spinach and carrots and I feel despite fairly quick sprouting they’ve slowed down.

Especially when people won’t use a tissue or cover their mouths

It is crazy. Unfortunately austerity is in vogue

I’m hoping the cat biscuits arrive today. I should have just got an Uber and bought them in the shop

That’s true.

I don’t know what the answer is but it seems like without something the existing situation is just going to get worse.

The spoonful of cod liver oil really gives it that extra kick.

Bacon is unwell so I have prepared a Bombe Alaska with sardine icecream centre.

(I’m going to look very silly if you’re not the person who was posting about sardines)

Ah man… you ever find yourself rubbed the wrong way by someone and have to question whether you’re being petty? I’ve thought about it for a little though and it’s legit. Might just avoid that one.

*Elsewhere, not on Lemmit

This is really bad news. I’m wondering if methadone can be or is dispensed by nurses at injecting facilities, but then keeping it on the premises could cause issues.

Everyone right to go?

I catch myself wishing I was rich… and then realise what I hope to gain from that is so basic
