    Rant warning. Red paint. Everywhere. 🤪

    Miniest made a storybook costume for today’s parade a couple of nights ago and it looked great. She painted it red with acrylic paint and used her nans drop sheet (Nan’s an artist) to protect the floor. All good, it dried beautifully, she put a cartoon face on it and it looked great. While I was at work yesterday Mr P decided it needed second coat of paint. He poured red oil paint all over it (over acrylic) and put no protection down. On the dining table 🤦🏼‍♀️I came home from work to discover tacky wet red paint all over everything (think light switches, toilet lid and seat, pale grey living room curtains, carpet, my mother’s table cloth, children, fridge door, walls… I mean everything). Paint on the little face she’d made. I said, “why didn’t you tell him no?” And she said she did but he just did it anyway 🤦🏼‍♀️I said, “this has to come off because it won’t dry on time,” (it says on the instructions that it takes between a week and 6 months to fully harden) so we spent the rest of the evening sopping all that paint off; it took a whole double length roll of kitchen towel, a roll of toilet paper, most of a box of gloves and several newspapers. Elder Minipeeler was an invaluable asset in this. And it was still a bit wet in places! This morning I opened the dishwasher and discovered that he’d just tossed the paintbrushes he’d used in there on the top rack and turned it on🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ Now I have paint on the plastic containers, cups and glasses as well. Miniest wanted me to paint the words Once Upon A Time… on the spine of the book in gold, which I did this morning (it’s fast drying gold metallic paint) and the red paint is still wet 🤦🏼‍♀️So she’s off to school with red painty hands and a very slightly damp in places project, but one she’s happy with. I said, “don’t stand near a girl with an expensive store bought costume whatever you do!”

    I suppose I’ll laugh one day.

    Did I happen to mention that I’m allergic to mineral turps?

      I’m sorry. “We” as in you? No no no no no. YOU put your feet up whilst HE unfucks the mess he created. Meanwhile YOU consider not kicking him out of the house.

        He honestly believed he was helping, trying to make up for some “slackluster” parenting. His own father was a shit example. Ruby forgives him and thinks it’s funny now.

      • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        It’s a combination of the first two I think, lol. Also it is his family home we’re living in. There are times I’ve thought, if the kids weren’t so connected to the area and dependent on me, and I had the financial means, I’d be gone. My MIL is leaving it to the children in a trust with me as administrator, as she doesn’t trust him to not be stupid somehow and fuck it up. He isn’t malicious, which is frustrating, it’s like the older he gets the more stupid he gets and I thought people were supposed to get wiser and I don’t understand it at all.

      The only word I have for this is Bruh…

    • Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      The only possible response is to take his pillow and doona and put them in the dog’s kennel (if you have a dog) or in the laundry if you don’t. A disaster of this magnitude demands a severe response.

      Um, I’m sure he was trying to connect with Miniestpeeler and help her project, but he sure did pick a weird way of doing it. The dishwasher bit was totally unnecessary and I can’t think of any sane person who puts dirty paintbrushes in the dishwasher.

      source
      • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        It had me genuinely gobsmacked for a bit, but he’s lucky I’m not a staying angry kind of person. I guess I’m more a problem solver so my focus was on how do I fix the project and how do I fix the paint on everything situation. You’re spot on that he was trying to connect with and help Miniest… he’s a 63yo (with a 14yo mentality) with a 10yo daughter and no clues at all.

      • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        This morning he must’ve hit on the idea to scrape the paint off. I got out of the shower to discover him standing in front of the project with a paint scraper and a ponderous expression. I tersely hustled him out with an “I think you’ve helped enough” type of statement. Then when I got to work and I was telling my coworkers I could not stop laughing, like almost manic pressure release type 😂

    I am currently taking my break away in another team’s work room since I seemingly cant take breaks at my own desk.

    Been gifted a Lindt chocolate ball by a kind resident team member.

    Shame though that I’ll only have my phone to enter myself but better than nothing.

    Going to try and chill quietly and alone today with my coffee.

    Things could be tense for awhile since the altercation this morning that I had with my co worker.

    Back home - blood tests showed nothing abnormal except for higher thyroid which is unusual in a senior cat. They gave us some fluids and that seems to have helped - when I got her home she went straight for the old food that Zooks hadn’t finished and then scarfed down the fresh stuff I gave her three mouthfuls at a time - didn’t finish it all but spread over three saucers probably a full saucer. So fingers crossed.

      Poor Sammi. Hopefully the fluid boost has helped her feel good enough to want to eat.

      Poor bubby. Melbcat was very hungry during her hyperthyroidism :(

    • Taleya@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Wait, what? Hyperthyroidism usually happens i. Cats older than 12, it’s you ger that’s unusual.

      Good news is it’s readily controllable with meds. We used to soak Punkin’s in a spoon of churu and he just fucking went for it

      source
      • oztrin@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Well that was what she said. I presume she’s talking about cats that don’t have hyperthyroidism.

    Today I’m feeling drained.

    Just when you think everything’s going well everything comes crashing down and what I thought I had solved and did for yesterday to be all set and completed turned out to be a totalure failure and stress inducing till the moment I went to sleep.

    2 nights ago I noticed some loud rumbling sounds in the kitchen. Was listening to music so thought it was a neighbour dragging heavy furniture.

    Today it happened again.

    The culprit?

    Our cat attacking the draught stop. She used all her strength to try to rip the thing off, resulting in the door, concrete wall, and the kitchen window 3 meters away to all rumble and rattle loudly.
