    There’s a very quick gap of them putting everything in their mouths to “I’m not eating that food you have lovingly prepared”. Sometimes they do overlap.

  Just got a call for an interview next week from a job that closed a month ago. I’d assumed they didn’t want me and moved on. Job hunting is so weird.

  I just saw a crested pigeon. I couldn’t think what it was called so I googled “pigeon with a mohawk”. I also saw a splendid blue wren the other day too. Beautiful birds.

    Melbcat loved to sleep in her stroller, whether the capsule was up in the frame or by itself.

    The capsule to the current one became, ahem, unfit for use but she has boxes with blankets and cutout portholes

  Oh jeez. Just spoke to (78yo) mum and she had another fall. Last one was 2 weeks ago going down 2 stairs. She’s just not stable on her feet and her vision is poor. Main thing I’m worried about are hip and head injuries.

  I’m going to have to convince her to wear a fall detection device which will be a difficult convo. I succeeded convincing her to give up driving (when I’m looking) but it just feels like I’m robbing independence / making her feel old.

  source

  • Eagle@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Please have her get a full check up. Falls are a symptom of something else going on 99% of the time. My mum reluctantly agreed to wear a Live Life alarm around 18 months ago, and she wears it daily. I can check her location, and when she fell while out at a bbq Saturday night it alerted me and my brother. We had a quick chat with her through the pendant, and all was good. My MIL on the other hand refuses to wear hers, and spent a night outside after a fall.

    I’m sorry to hear. It’s often a difficult conversation that doesn’t always end the way you want it to.

    You’re also trying to protect her from having a horrible accident without a means for someone to get to her in time as well.

    I hope things go ok for you.

    source

    • Bottom_racer@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Thank you. I think I’m just going to try and reduce tripping hazards when I see them and work out how to do that conversation.

  • Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    You might find this resource helpful: Fall Prevention

    If she isn’t already using My Aged Care, get that process started as soon as possible.

    • Bottom_racer@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Thank you for that, that’s a great suggestion.

  • anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Hope it goes ok…I know how hard it can be, as I went through this with my mum and OH did with his, too. MOL (mother-out-law) had emergency services break in one time when she collapsed and was unresponsive. Lucky the cleaner found her in time.

    It was also very lucky that neither of them injured anyone (or themselves) by driving when no longer competent.

  Some fuck has been flying a quad-copter over my place for a few months now. I want to build an RF jammer thing but it’s a $1.5 million or up to 8 years in prison penalty :( My only option is to convince the resident magpie to take it out.

  source

  • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    They are so annoying, aren’t they? I get DoorDash drones flying over my place, I absolutely hate them. Door Dash claims they are really quiet and fly high enough they are not annoying, but I am regularly being annoyed by the sound so that claim is obviously rubbish.

    source
  • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Is flying the quad-copter over your place not illegal?

    +1 to the magpie taking it out.

    source

      I thought it was. I think it’s a racing FPV drone. Noise is basically like a giant mosquito.

      That’s a $47k fine right there or up to 2 years in the slammer :(

      Still thinking about that option. Place backs on to a lot of uninhabited empty space so no one would be at risk.

  My hands are fucking rekt after two hours of finely hand chopping kale and my lower back and knees which were already acting up are not happy today with all the bending and lifting and standing around doing food prep and carrying stuff up and down those crazy outdoor steps. My aunt was very overambitious with how much food she wanted to make today, I noped out of going along with them to deliver because it was so chaotic near the end, and I am ZONKED and need energy for tomorrow to start the real culling/packing now that I have the Good Boxes and Tape courtesy of my lovely colleague.

  But it was really good to spend a whole day using my hands and doing good stuff for others, with others!

  Aunt might drop by with leftovers in the arvo which I can’t complain about :) now it’s time for dins, Nurofen and a good restorative sleep…

• just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Spent 2.5hrs cleaning labels and glue off 20 jars to give to a colleague who is lending me some boxes for packing. Jeez what an ordeal. Especially the really stubborn glue that I needed oil to remove (rubbing alcohol might’ve been better). Not keeping any more jars after this…

  It was a great day otherwise though, cooking was well received and it was definitely great to get away from the city and be with others, off my phone (but also be able to leave before hitting my limit). Felt like I had permission to just take it easy and relax. Roads were nice and quiet too. Really glad I took Monday off, the extra long weekend is good for my nerves to recuperate.

  Today I’ll drop off the jars/pick up the boxes, then head off to help a relative cook and pack a whole bunch of food for the homeless.

  I’m frustrated that every night before bin collection some rando parks right in front of where our bins need to be placed. I put them where they’re supposed to be but it risks damaging their car on collection and I will not be a dickhead and put the bins around their car which would block them in. What do you do? I have to do the “missed collection” request with the council far too frequently due to this and the best ideas I have is either leave a note or buying traffic cones :/ Every bloody week this happens.

  Anyone had to deal with mud daubers or paper wasps? I have both creating a nest on my house.

  Everything I’ve read suggests they are nonviolent, so my current plan was to leave them be, and then knock off the nests next winter. Its gonna be a zero tolerance policy, if I get bitten once, both are gone.

  Am I gonna regret it?
