We're having another heatwave! The temps could get to 29°C!

I went out shopping yesterday thinking I'd go while it was cool, and it was 22° by the time I was waiting to come home at 10:30am. UGH.

I could have - and should have, really - gone shopping on Monday, but I didn't in part because I had to take the cat to the vet for her yearly boosters, and that drained me. I don't like putting her in the carrier, and I know she doesn't like being in there (she made some of the saddest MOWs while we were on the bus both going and coming back). But she went in probably the easiest she ever has, and I almost cried from the relief*.

We got seen early, which was nice! (I was legit the only person in the surgery who wasn't staff) And the vet weighed Jazz, and she has finally lost some weight! \o/ So now she's closer to 5.5kg than 6. Which is good news for my arms!

So because that stressed me out so much, I didn't think about going back into town in the afternoon to pick up food/library books. Which, as I say, I should have, because Monday was the coolest day of the week.

ANYWAY. It's done now. I ain't going out for the rest of the week if I can help it.

In Ni no Kuni, I am chugging along, although I was having difficulty with a boss, so now I've had to go back to an earlier save and do some grinding, ugh.

I was saving to one file only because I wasn't finding it that difficult, but then I read a post on the subreddit for the game, where someone had (somehow!) got further than me at way lower of a level, and was now stuck, unable to grind, and only had the one save file.

So I'm glad I did that. I think I could've still gone back from where the boss fight was, but it just felt better going back to the previous save, even though it lost me a few hours of gameplay and a forced stealth section.

(Turns out a lot of people have trouble with this boss on their first encounter, even if they've played the game before, so I'm glad it's not just me).

And finally, I got my first member on ko-fi! \o/ I got the email notif last night, just before I went to sleep, and assumed it was one pinging me to say someone I follow had uploaded something (because it usually is), but nope!

As with redbubble sales, I'm not going to post every time this happens, as I can imagine it's annoying, but my first ever member is something to be celebrated!
