I just fed my poor innocent cat her laxative… 😔 There will be tummy aches tonight. Cuddles will be dispensed.

Unrelated, does life lately feel incredibly tough for everyone else? Like you work hard but never catch a break and nothing can ever go smoothly

Been feeling a little bit of that ever since the pandemic started.

Not necessarily long COVID, but just that everything got that bit harder, and everyone has become a bit less forgiving since. At the very least, prices have shot up.

People generally more tetchy or much nicer and understanding. iow, a bit of polarisation there

Things are generally ok for myself and the ProcrastiFamily, but the Voice stuff is giving me huge anxiety. I’m seeing so much racism and hate online and can’t even imagine how First Nations people must be feeling at the moment.
