I need to replace some elastic waistbands but I put all that away on a high shelf and stuff on top of it -_-
Edit: I grabbed it down, and I had already done the worst of it for one pair of pants. (The elastic was folded over with the top of the pants and both sewn in together, probably for speed in a factory, meaning I had to unpick the entire waistband the whole way around. I had then handsewed it into a lazy but serviceable casing so the next time I need to replace or adjust the elastic I can undo a few stitches and just pull the old elastic out.)
The new elastic is in that pair now but I haven’t sewn the hole up yet. I’m going to wear it around for a little while to be sure it’s a comfortable tightness and then close it.
Unbelievably, I made the shepherd’s pie! The texture didn’t really come out how I thought it would, though I think that’s because maybe I used this brand of tinned jackfruit that I honestly never should use again, too much of the tough core and not enough flesh.
However, the umami/flavour is out of this world. Lots of it would be from the tomato paste, dried mushrooms and soy sauce, but I think the coffee definitely added a certain something to it too… must try again with some tweaks.
Maybe I’ll make a spag bol sauce on the weekend with the remaining tomato paste and tvp mince, and see if the coffee trick works again 🤔 ☕ 😋
I am so intrigued. I made a cottage pie this week with some chicken and mushrooms as the base and then the usual vegies like carrots and peas and celery. Mashed taters on top of course. I used a vegie stock cube for some gravy.
It’s a great hot meal for a cold night. I have mine with melted butter on top of the taters. 🤤😋😋
After a few fallthroughs Melbcat finally got to the vet for her Solensia yesterday - she’s having more noticeable side effects this time though.
Last night she pulled a chunk of fur out of her back and was stalking around lashing her tail all wriggly like a snake. Today she’s been very sooky and smoochy, initiating and allowing a long session of brushing when normally she gets overstimulated after a few brushstrokes and walks away. (This time I sat to brush my own hair and she rubbed her cheek on my brush until I gave her a very long groom.) There’s some squinting like there’s pain or she doesn’t feel good. She’s also thrown up a bit and not finishing all of her food.
Nausea, loss of appetite and skin irritation are on the list of side effects so that’s pretty normal. Getting a bit freaked out at Reddit comments claiming that it killed their cat but am just going to keep an eye on her.
I’ve had my flu shot today so we can cuddle and be wretched together.
In other notes, it seems cats love generic Tangle Teezer style knockoffs. I’ll try it again when she’s not craving brushies (it’s the bean shaped solid plastic kind with no handle, very easy to clean in hot soapy water) and if it’s nicer on her skin than the slicker brush it can become hers or I’ll buy her her own.
It was amazing, a cat that never lets me brush her was smooching the brush and lay like a tired complacent little potato while I went over her shoulders, head and entire back. I’m hoping she comes good soon.
I’m still super tired and need to be up early tomorrow to leave early for an appointment and then dinner with a friend… But I promised I’d bring a plate and I know she’s far more tired and cash strapped than me, so I’m summoning all my energy to have a go at this vegan shepherds pie recipe now - to be finished off in the oven at hers tomorrow. It’s got rehydrated shiitake, squeezed out jackfruit and coffee (?!). I really wanna see how it turns out, haven’t made shepherd’s pie in years.
Well, leftover pizza has been had - time to soak and chop and sweat. I can do this!!
Second day of trying to use TOIL. Haha, joke’s on me, it never goes according to plan… Buuut can’t complain. Mate invited me around after work, fed me and gasbagged. Thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated.
Going to try again tomorrow.
Meanwhile, I am enjoying (Unnatural) アンナチュラル on NF. It seems a little more progressive that what I’d expect, so I’m finding it lighthearted, maybe a little western, but fun all the same.

Old man just informed me yesterday he has a hereditary gene defect related to PCSK9 or Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 which means high cholesterol or sumfink.
It sounds like a surprising and perhaps inconvenient revelation, especially when you had your meal plans all set! Sometimes life throws unexpected curveballs our way. On the bright side, knowing about a hereditary condition like high cholesterol early on can actually be a blessing in disguise. It gives you the opportunity to take proactive steps to manage your health and potentially prevent future complications. Maybe your next parma and chips can be a celebration of newfound awareness and a commitment to healthier choicesiqratechnology.com/academy/
EhhhhhhhhhhhhhhshiddibdigxhdobsibsI don’t know why I fucking say anything on the other site. Fucking incel shit. I hate that the boys who said foul, sexist, racist crap on 4chan have infiltrated every other fucking site. Where did they get their confidence‽ Who raised these animals? Fuck me for even daring to voice my experiences, or the experiences of afabs. I know I should just abandon it at this point. Why do we have to suffer through abuse and die to these foul fuckers? Why do we have to deal with this crap? If, for whatever reason, my partner and I don’t work out, I’m joining that 4b movement. No debate. I’ll go live in the fucking woods with the bears and spiders and lions, whatever. Real fucking sick of boys and men feeling entitled to do whatever the fuck they want to afabs. I wish they would crawl into a fucking hole and die. (I shouldn’t feel the need to say this, but: yes, I know it’s not all men 🙄)
It wasn’t so much the barfing but the subsequent bathing, then towelling as well. And i got her back flanks too, which she has some ptsd over being touched.
Oh she got ao much cheese and apologies and deigned to headbutt me in forgiveness.
