I don’t want to badger anyone but is there anything on the news about the mushroom case? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIyixC9NsLI

Um I forgot what I was gonna say. I got hypnotised by badgers.

Last I heard was that samples were being sent overseas and wouldn’t be available for a few weeks.

I’ve screwed up my leave, I pick up my “new” car tomorrow, but when I booked my few days off to enjoy it, I forgot to book off the day I actually have to go get it. Fuck I’m a wally! In my own defence I’m on nights so dates and times mean absolutely nothing to me.

Unspecified anxiety has reared its head again. I think because after messing up my sleep cycle last night I’ve only taken one dose of my meds today. Tomorrow, back to normal on that front. Some major uncertainty about what kind of response I’ll get back from work about stuff, last 3 days with a car and frantically realising I should stock up on some things before it starts costing me a lot more to get what I need, especially heavy stuff. Urgh! The things you take for granted with a car. Including the ability to easily cross the Chandler. -_-

Are there any Gogets or Flexicars parked near you? Might be worth getting a membership to one or other of them. And you’re not limited to just one vehicle - they have vans etc. too.

My cat caught a mouse in the backyard and brought it inside and straight into my bedroom and my mum just straight up shut my door, which I get as she is deathly afraid of mice. I haven’t been back into my room, I don’t know if the mouse escaped in my room or is dead, or escaped half dead and is now dead in one of the 500 nooks and crannies of my bedroom full of stuff and I don’t really know what to do, I’m exhausted after a day of gardening and I really don’t want to go on a mouse search right now but I know I have to. I’m just here to complain and seek comfort.

Edited to add: my cat is only allowed in the backyard when I am around to supervise, we had a previous mouse problem but had dealt with it.

It’s a shame the DT isn’t a neighbourhood. There are many things that stress me but I am able to put a mouse or spider outside

That would genuinely be the absolute best! I wish that was an option. I found the courage and energy to check, I found half of a dead mouse on the carpet (the other half I’ll assume is in my cats stomach) and I disposed of it whilst fetching heavily. I will be second guessing ever letting my cat out in the backyard ever again.

Sleep in the lounge room. Get somebody brave to check it out for you tomorrow.

I saw a mouse scamper into my daughter’s room one time (she was toddler then) I shut the door, picked up my kid and went to my mother’s house. Rang my husband and told him I wasn’t coming home until it’s gone. He laid about 8 mice traps. That night he heard a snap and I came home the next day.

Glad to know I’m not the only one who would shut up shop and leave normally. But I really like being in my own space for sleep.

The update is, I psyched myself up and found that there was half of a dead mouse visible on the floor, I then psyched myself up and used a dustpan and brush to scoop it up which was by far one of the worst things I’ve had to do. For that I’m quite glad I found the nerve to check but at the same time, deeply regretful as the nausea from retching hasn’t subsided.

You are brave. Make sure you reward yourself tomorrow. Good work.

I like r/CleaningTips. Not even the filthiest toilet pics or what’s this growing in my sink get me. No what got me was “Cat puked in the air vent and I have no idea what to do” 🤮 There was no picture and I’m not even gonna click on the post.
