i have a pentax me super that i’ve never used before and it’s my first proper film camera. it is stuck on automatic at the moment (going to try get it fixed) and already has a roll of film loaded i think as it’s taking photos and the counter is going up (although i thought they usually went down). I read in the manual that the roll of film will tell you what settings to have your camera on but because i didn’t buy the original film i have no way of knowing. i usually work with digital and i’m very unfamiliar with film. i want to take my camera to an upcoming concert mainly to photograph the people but how do i know that i’ve got the aperture, exposure etc right? i’d hate to get it developed and it all be over or under exposed

I know it sounds silly and I do know what to do but I’m autistic and there’s a few specifics that are stressing me out. For context I have two cats only one of which goes out doors. They have both just been prescribed flea treatment. I also have a bottle of flea killer for the house that my parents gave me.

(Quick Edit: Please do not start banging on about letting my cat outside. That is not the purpose of this post.)

First of all, I have a bit of a cluttered house but my bedroom is the worst. It’s not messy but I have lots of soft furnishings and soft toys and just so. much. plush stuff. i have a lot of stuff under my bed too. Do I really have to wash my potentially 100+ teddies and then all my blankets and soft stuff? As well as pulling everything out from under my bed? I only have a small washing machine and no tumble dryer and it seems genuinely impossible.

Secondly, the vet advises making sure i spray all the skirting around the house, but what do i do about the bits of skirting I can’t reach? There’s a few places where there’s furniture I can’t move that stops me reaching the skirting. There’s a lot a lot of places that are difficult to hoover like under my bed and under the sofa. What do I do about these areas?

This is my first time dealing with fleas and I’m feeling quite overwhelmed. It’s very early stages but I want to get a handle on it now. Thank you.
