I got paid yesterday, and it was supposed to be a day I started buying a bunch of things I've been holding off on, but my cat has an ingrown dew-claw - on the outside of her paw. I noticed it back in March, when the lockdown started, but I figured it wasn't enough of an emergency to go to the vet about. It doesn't seem to hurt her, but I do see her limping very occasionally and assume it has something to do with that. And the other day I saw her rolling around in the grass outside, and she grabbed that particular paw and started licking it and biting at it. So I think I should probably go to the vet about it, and therefore should probably hold onto a lot of my money until I know how much that will cost. I also need to buy a cat carrier, because I don't know what happened to ours, and my dad is genuinely angry at me that I won't just use the carboard box he's offered me. Mum, meanwhile, was absolutely adamant there was no way we could take care of the ingrown claw at home, while it seemed like that was the only option, until I started talking about talking the cat to the vet, and now she's been researching it and watching videos about it for a day. Trying to do anything I actually want to do is a real struggle with my family.

I also have tinnitus, which I assumed was just my deserved reward for a childhood listening to loud music and adulthood with headphones constantly in, and wasn't planning to do much about it. But now it's graduated from a ringing sound to occasionally a weird vibrating sound in one ear, and apparently it might be caused by earwax, which can be fixed, or in very very very rare cases a tumour, so everyone recommends you go check it out anyway. So I'll probably be going to the doctor and letting them breathe near me over that too.

And my room really really needs sorting out, but I don't think I'll be doing that any time soon either. Probably not until I've finished Ghost of Tsushima. That's not on my family, that's on me.
