The boys are sick so it means I'm bedbound as soon as one needs to sleep because he has this sixth sense about you not being there.
My girlfriend said she wouldn't stop working about being away from them but I said this could be a break for her to and I hope she's enjoying it. She would be the one stuck in bed with him otherwise if we were home
aw, poor little guys, i hope they get well soon
Took the ol' girl to two sub-specialists today. Because ol' boy worked with these dudes we just walked in, out, just a nod of the head no charge shoulda been $300 or so a pop.
Last time I broke some bones cost me $300 to get into emergency only to tell me they weren't broken when they were. Then heaps more $ for scans (they were broken).
The whole thing was just completely waived and not an eyelid blinked.
I don't get that teatment :( I has to pay for the silly things I do.
sending so many good wishes for your mum
Thatβs good, your mum deserves to catch a bit of a break. Long waits and medical bills can be so stressful
My mum's got a gold card. She still feels guilty when she uses it. "Oh yeah mum you're really living the high life when you get your toenails clipped for free once a month".
The drop off point was closed so I had to take stuff somewhere else. Itβs donated now though so Iβve got a bit of room back.
I make the best of what I have but regret having shared walls. I used to love having a bit of a sing to lift my mood π
beach picture
sea life in a little pool , the water is very clear
Feeling extra sad this evening for some reason. Flat sort of day. Very bleah at work. Finished the thing due today though, so that was nice.
Pay came in late, but it's in, so I finished pretty much all my gift shopping - no luck with fancy discounted Easter choccies :( car bills all paid off, flight stuff sorted.
Dinner, then time to pack and weigh my bags. I only leave on Thursday but tomorrow will be hectic so I'm going to just get it all out of the way today and avoid the immense anxiety that often comes with packing <24hrs before leaving
Might also tee up a list of ebooks to download. I'm thinking The Convenience Store Woman, maybe, for a bit of snark.
big hugs
first coat of paint is done π
Customer said I look no older than 13. I was too stunned to speak.
If I show up at the museum and claim I'm under 16, can I get in free?
Concession is free though.
I pretended to be a child when I went visit Sydney and a friend took me to the Aquarium there.
I went through as a child to get a cheap ticket, I didnβt speak at all as it would have given my age away, my friend did all the talking.
I also wore a hat low to cover my face.
Well done Commbank. Broken when I most need it.
Down for the last hour or so.
Thought that was just me. I can access mine now
I picked up a roll of pretty wallpaper from hard rubbish.
No idea what I'll do with it. Maybe line some drawers or something.
Dust jackets for books?
Nice. Maybe cover some cardboard boxes with it for more aesthetic storage. Or spray paint it orange and cover boxes with it.
omg, that's very similar to some lounge room and hallway wallpaper we had when I was growing up
I promise I'm not a nerd, I just like miniatures
Hopefully I get to set it up soon.
Did you hit up the model train expo on the weekend as well?
Nah I was busy. I have been to a few others though.
I've also got a Thomas the tank engine too with all the tracks.
Embrace your nerdiness! It's fun!
Rail King sounds like a coke head.
nah, porn star
Alright, home stretch of work for the day. Tunes, spreadsheets and a cuppa.
Wish me luck people.

Decluttering. Fished out the man's books. Found this riveting bed time story.
Brian Cox is a god!
That's hot

Annoying neighbour has cottoned on to Boyo owning a fair few tools and made noises that sounded like a cash hire attempt. This isn't a good idea for many reasons.
There is exactly one neighbour I loan tools to. He's one of the good ones and honest to a fault. I've borrowed gear from him before (his suggestion) and we've helped each other out.
Anyone else can admire my tools from a distance.
Pretty sure he wanted the man and the tools. Much more time required on that to not be perceived as 'The Help' or whatever nonsense
Oh hell no. That's a slippery slope and a half.
You help out, person is unhappy, and somehow it's your fault.
I fell for that once not happening again. Stay away from that whole situation if possible.
Exactly!
