This may make me sound 100 years old but I think I'm growing partial to email clients. If I look at my emails in a separate program to my browser it stops me getting lost on the internet instead of doing what I'm trying to. It also means my email tab isn't taking up all this RAM.

And I really should cut Google out of my life. That will be easier if the interface I use for emails is the same, it doesn't matter what provider I'm using.

Also, I got sick of all the ads in Gmail's Promotions section. No ads in a client.

I switched from Gmail (and Nord VPN) to using the proton suite of tools. Much happier.

100 years old? I think it makes you sound ten. A being of a world colonised by google.

Also if you remember the ol'' netscape communicator suite try seamonkey. it's awesome

I'll check it out. Initial impressions are it's how we should be using the internet instead of being forced to use the same couple of websites for everything

I just remembered I was going to get a Feliway diffuser for the move. They are a bit pricier than I was expecting, for that price it better be as good as it's reputed to be. I got a diffuser and a travel spray, plus she will have Gabapentin for the moving day itself.

You can find good prices online I found when I was using them a bit. Or get the spray and use it in key spots.

Ugh. Accidentally napped, and woke up quite late for Melbcat’s meds.

Cat tmi

She’s still been crying and desperately ran away after using the litterbox today so I think her uti is still causing pain. When it should be settling? She’s constipated too.

Already been to the vet on Tuesday to try and find out what the pain is but now I think it’s that.

I’ve given the extra pain relief on top of her usual and might have to just give it more routinely instead of waiting for the need. Making my alarms louder so I actually hear them.

I need to find where that Cystapro stuff is - it’s bright red and tastes terrible but maybe right now it could give some relief. I’ve given her a hot water bottle to lie on while I look.

I also mixed a little Osmolax into her wet food with extra water plus pumpkin baby food and might keep that up until things improve.

Edit: That is so weird. I can’t find the Cystapro capsules. I did stop using it but don’t remember throwing them away
