Dog Tax

Thinking about getting back into the dating scene, and the moment I thought of it 2 flies landed on my arm and started going at it :(

Come on flies read the room.

But then I realised I've never seen 2 flies fornicating (I don't think, at least not on me). So I had to wonder.. my google question "How long do flies fuck for" and the result was 30-120 minutes which was surprising and makes me feel even more inadequate.

Gibson's blood test came back with no issues! She must just be sleeping a bit extra as she gets older

Bit of set back, just found out the fun little procedure I had 10mths ago has done nothing and may in fact have made things worse (small reversal will fix that). Doc is very surprised at the results, so it's on for more tests and looking at what else can be done that's not removing that whole area of my person.

Feels bad man, but hopefully we can move onto better things soon.

I discovered the most beautiful poem by an Australian poet - Erin Hanson, the other day:

There is freedom waiting for you,

on the breezes of the sky.

And you ask, “What if I fall?”

Oh, but my darling, “What if you fly?

Little one starts grade 2 today. Where does the time go?

I had a bath with a pineapple shaped bath fizzer that made the water turn radioactive pine lime cordial colour.

Kept dreaming about religious iconography and a white hippo, so I'll be starting my very own cult any day now.

When we wake up and have to deal with the consequences of late night emails….

Hit my daily brick wall and the damn things seems extra reinforced. So many frustrations at work today, I'm feeling sorry for the people in my BJJ class this evening.

so tired, so sore, need hugs and better meds

sooo: Question.

• The guys who installed the aircon fucked us around and didn't give us the electrical certificate until TODAY. Looking at it, they marked the works (non prescribed) as "completed 21st of jan". The job was completed 21st december. How much trouble will this cause?

I know they did it because (as we pointed out to them) they were wildly in excess of the 30 days notice, which is an offense, and they don't want to get into widdle trouble but fuck them.

(yes we are feeling cuntish the company in question has fucked us around beyond any measure of kindness.)

old phone dead, new phone is being started up

good bye old phone , it fitted in my pocket easily and had everything I needed

next I have to finish transferring my computer files and data, sciatica got in the way of doing stuff

About to pack to go live at my parents for 6 days but as luck would have it, I'm due to do laundry so all I have to do is throw my clothes in the direction of my suitcase rather than pack them nicely.

Ha. Second day in a row there's been a miscommunication with a client.
On the plus side she's safe and well and I got paid for a two hour shift where I sat around or did my own Aldi run. 😁

Exciting news from my mechanic - for once there are no unexpected extra expenses to add on to my car's service. That's a bit of a rare occurrence these days, and quite welcome after the last few have ended up quite expensive.

If I lie in bed all I think of is pain, need some distraction

It’s that sad time of year where peaches are starting to get floury and past their prime. I love peaches. So disappointing to get a bad one.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed. I've hated my current job for a while due to the owner of business being a pretty toxic, uncaring individual. Last week I got approached by a friend who I know through a previous job to come and work for our former Creative Director/CEO who has started his own company. At my current job, I'm a casual but work full times hours. My friend has mentioned the new role might only be one day a week. I know my current employer will not allow me to reduce my hours and stay on as the store manager. I also know that if I decide to step down but stay on as a regular casual, she will be vindictive and most likely prevent me from receiving enough hours to get by. I'm meeting my old CEO for a coffee tomorrow and I just feel really sad that this great opportunity to work with some great people will slip through my fingers and I'll be stuck at my current shitty job and that nothing good can come way.
