    I got the call centre job lol! Starting mid January.

    Gonna be so flush with my a-bit-higher-than-minimum-wage wage, way more than Centrelink lol. I’ll actually be able to pay rent without going broke for half a month every month

    Everything is cleaned and organised. Dropped presents off to some family kiddos. Ham glaze made. Kitchen ready. Tomorrow I can just chill and cook for a couple of people.

    Hope you all have great days whether social or quiet or just another day. Cheers

    Damn, it’s time to get ready for work already. Hopefully it will be a cruisy shift and I don’t have to work too hard. So if you guys could do your best not to set things on fire, crash your cars or get your cat stuck up a tree that would be great.

      I’ve been gardening all day and now cannot move from couch, so there’ll be no risk of any of that over here

        so jelly, I love gardening

      • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        That sounds good, stuck on couch is usually an ambulance job. Unless you are really heavy and need some burly firefighters to hoist you up I won’t need to do anything.

        Just do your best, that’s all we can ask for. But if you do decide to do something try to at least make it interesting. Get stuck it the chimney pretending to be Santa or something.

    I had emergency surgery a couple of days ago, and I’ve been home trying my best to recover but this is a new level of body horror I was not prepared for. I’m so glad the whole thing was free though, and the hospital stay was genuinely quite pleasant (I got lucky and ended up with a private room).

    Here’s hoping I get through the next couple of weeks without any complications, I just want this thing to be over and done with.

    source
    • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      That’s rough. Hope everything goes well and you can recover without drama.

      If anything does go wrong there’s always your local Urgent Care but I’m sure you won’t need it.

      Merry Christmas to you Sasha ❤️

      source
      • Sasha@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I actually started the whole thing at urgent care, who took one look at me and immediately sent me to the ER haha. I don’t expect to be back anytime soon, things are going well healing wise, it’s just freaky as hell that the standard is to not stitch up the big hole in me.

        Merry Christmas to you to 😊

    • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      I’m glad it went well and you’re resting now! That sounds terrifying!

    • Eagle@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Time is the best healer. Hoping you have help, if not anything not essential to daily life can wait. Rest is important, and you can’t rush it.

      I hope you’re doing ok and recovering fast.

      If you get stuck and need help/aftercare I know there’s a nursing service called Call On Clare? Fingers crossed you manage ok though.

    I’ve gotten a handle on doing all the Christmas stuff.

    I think all the presents have been bought, just have to organise and wrap

    all the food is ready to be prepped, Turkey and chicken pieces are in the freezer ready for Saturday

    tomorrow’s food is easy, just burgers and trifle , 2 x shortbread is made, I will bring half the panettone I made , only because it’s so big I won’t be able to finish it.

    house is super organised and 95% clean already 👍

    Wrapping presents and just found out I may have doubled up on a present. Not really worried about it as I got the Whispering Jack album twice in 1986, and it was pretty awesome.

    I’m so organised this year, I don’t know what to do with myself

    source
  • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    No viking rampages today, I went on a poisonous rampage in the garden instead. All the naughty grass that has snuck its way through the cardboard in the garden beds has now been sprayed. The worst bindii infested patch of naturestrip has had selective poison put on it, and the worst of the broadleaf weeds there have been sprayed too.

    I was happy to see the climbing bean seeds I thought had failed have now sprouted. Some of the tomato plants didn’t cope with the hot days and have died, but I have a few more seedlings that are still ok to replace them with and all the cherry tomatoes look to have made it. It doesn’t look like any of the cucumber seeds have managed to sprout though, so I don’t think I’m getting any of those this year.

    source
    • Taleya@aussie.zone ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Got any tomatillos? ours have wild seeded all over the place. Ranging from small seedlings peeking out their heads at the front to a fuckin’ 2 foot bush out the back already punching out calyxes

      source
      • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        The main things self seeding here are bindii and mallow.

        I’ve never actually grown or even used tomatillos. In my last place I did have wild seeded cherry tomatoes, plus a few things like parsnips, parsley, lettuce and bok choy. By the time I have enough plants built up to do that here I’ll probably be moving again, hopefully to my own place where I can keep the garden long term and get the benefit from that sort of thing.
