Melbourne

I don't really know how to start this but here I go. My husband had a catheter removed in a hospital I didn't know existed let alone been to. My daughter graduated high school and was also diagnosed as inattentive ADHD all within a week. Phew.

She was in NZ at the time her dad fell sick and I didn't have the heart to tell her over the phone so when she came home I had to tell her in the garage. She took it really well.

Because I was focused on his recovery I wasn't able to unpack her diagnosis properly but credit to her she completely understood. Even helped me out with some stuff around the house.

She's now on different meds that so far are working. She's still my forward thinking, intelligent, compassionate, well mannered, funny, cyclonic, messy baby girl and always will be.

It's been a crazy month.

Ps. Don't worry. I'm showered with love and support from them both. I truly am a lucky lady.

There's this lady I talk to when I feed the strays. She walks her dog and we have a bit of a chinwag.

She hadnt seen me for a while because I don't get home till 6pm to feed the cats due to work commute.

She came over just now to see if I was OK.

What are some of the best things you've experienced this year?

I burned my tongue eating dinner yesterday and still feel it a bit today. I just don’t know how to wait to eat the steaming hot delicious food in front of me.

Ted Cat says, " Mmm, mmm" in a sweet sing song way. Translation , "Where breakfast" Mmm, m, mmm

Me, "Sun's not even up, not breakfast time"

I got stuck in the rain yesterday.

And now I'm pretty sure I have a cold. Another excuse to stay in bed and chill?

Why not lol

Mickey's delivery of Greenies arrived phew! He's be mad if he didn't have them over Xmas lol.

Also the neighbour was giving away their rug, so Mickey gets a Xmas present

Man, good thing I've taken off until the new year. This weekend felt like it flew by

Oh man. This fatigue is kicking my arse to the point of disrupting my sleep. I fell asleep in the early evening/late afternoon and woke up at midnight. Guess it’s true if you refuse to properly rest your body really will make you.

I’m watching canvas stretching videos with no intention or ability to do it and messing around on single player games. Trying to rest.

Melbcat is being a fussy clingy baby. She’s eating but maybe doesn’t feel well, or is jealous of the games? I’ll see if the vet is open to call tomorrow. I did take note of the Xmas hours but immediately forgot. Next time I take a photo of the sign.

I've been trying to find somewhere that does bulk meat delivery at decent prices as the places I was going to aren't available to me now I've moved. There are an awful lot of ridiculously expensive options out there, I'm not sure how they have enough customers willing to pay that much. One I just looked at came out to $43 a kilo, and half the box was things like mince, sausages, chicken fillets etc. that are generally a lot cheaper. One that let you choose your own options had little packets of bacon that came out at $83 a kilo. I'm happy to pay that for a couple of top end items, but it is way too high for an average.

Edit: I think I might be able to get some from one of my old suppliers, I think they just need to update the details in the database for the ordering website as I am in a new suburb that isn't listed. Fingers crossed this works out and I can fill up the freezer. They primarily sell to small businesses so have a lot of options that just aren't available retail, including things like different types of bread flour, so I can stock up on a few pantry things too. 🤞

Today I

• repot some plants
• wrap some presents
• clean Chook’s cage

Fuck I hate making telephone calls!!!

Stressy spaghetti first thing in the morning.

Christmas shopping. I am so excite.

I found an original 1969 3D Toppan postcard of the Moon Landing, near perfect condition, for my dear friend who is an amateur astronomer. I'll put it in a good frame.

And a beautiful 1960s murano necklace with green glass beads that glow, the colour is so pure and the glass so crystalline, and it has pretty wire work settings. It will look lovely on her.

Train excitement!

There was a freight train derailment just past Newport. The train I was on slowed right down as we went past so I had a good squiz.

Two freight cars fell completely, half a dozen other cars were off the tracks. New tracks were already being built where tracks had been destroyed. There were huge cranes lifting up the fallen cars, they had large chains around the bellies of the cars.

It was a long train too, had three large engines and maybe 50 cars.

There were special rail cars to test the tracks, to fix the tracks, to build tracks, crane train cars too.

No one was hurt and it was all very interesting.

Negatives for today: I am at work

Positives for today: Yummy breakfast muffin and a chicken salad for lunch. People haven't been burning things down or crashing their cars too much so far today, so I've gotten some life admin out of the way.

I think on balance today is a good day.

I’m going to bed. Night night
