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.

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.

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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. 😁

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

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.

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.

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.)

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.

I'll make the next thread because I'm staying up watching Call the midwife.
