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.
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 ❤️
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 😊
I’m glad it went well and you’re resting now! That sounds terrifying!
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.
Oh jeez. Hoping for a swift recovery for you.
I hope you have people to help.
Sure do, it’s a bit of a full house right now
oh no, so many gentle hugs I hope you have a speedy recovery
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.
Has she lept out and bitten your ankles yet? Ours used to hide under clothes racks and do that
All night lol
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
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.
Can’t promise nuffin.
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.
Will try my hardest. Hopefully the rest of society does too!
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
So nice to have everything sorted. Hope you have a lovely day, too
all presents bar one have been obtained, I can get that on friday
wrapping commences , I got these awesome xmas dinosaur and mercat and cat stickers for on the kid’s pressies 😃
Helping MrsGod make Brandy Alexander pie. 😋
Nice
I cannot stop sleeping. Guess my body needs it, but it would be nice to sleep at the right time. And not fall asleep before I can drink some fluids 🐪🌵
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 👍
Time to work! Looks like everyone’s out doing their food shop today. Also the husbands who don’t know what to get their wives.
Watching the market melt down this morning was glorious. My viewpoint from my apartment overlooks the fish market…it was like someone had kicked an ant’s nest
Shopping is done
2 x naps had
Games downloaded
Waiting for cheesecake shop to open and pizza place to start delivery.
Yeeha!

A hamper has arrived from work. I am now richer by
I’m so organised this year, I don’t know what to do with myself

5/10. Started out well 😆
3.5
At my folks’ place. Next door’s teenage daughter just dropped off a plate of gingerbread men.
She’s a lovely kid, that one
One of the best part about this time of year is looking forward to watching Dinner for One on NYE. It makes me cry laugh everytime.
We’ve made it to Albury alright. The trip up was good but it has been a big day for the boys and they’re tired silly
Found some drinking glasses the other day. Couldn’t decide between the high ballers or the tumblers so I bought them both. Didn’t need them and now I have to find room for them. They was Christmas present to myself.
spose I better do stuff
I have a shopping list
and a few chores
Have you been gifted new clothing yet? Prepare to be devoured by Jólakötturinn!
Tired. Hope everyone has a good sleep and enjoys their day tomorrow, what ever your plans are.
The wine has been poured. The eyelids are already heavy. Christmas tradition has been chosen to be put off.
Whoops. What was gonna be a quick run to the brew shop for some odds and ends (both His Lordship and I are planning on getting some mash on) turned into a quick bunnings nip I NEEEED A TOILET lookit that strawberry bowl it would be perf for your mum and then since it was next to woolies oh yeah I’ma gonna grab me some cokes and the wheat germ for my mash and yeah ok while I’m doing that you go get your dexies filled ooo they have those orabl B series 3 electric toothbrushes we want half price until 9pm!
…we did not plan for many of these. But we did them nonetheless
Christmas Eve run complete. A lot warmer than I thought it was.
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.
I’m deciding on a coffee or the start of a 3 day bender.
Home. Food bought. Food eaten. Now clean bedroom. Clean fridge to make space. Mop floors. Wrap presents. Figure out exactly how long I need for things to cook tomorrow. Listening to the hogfather audiobook for company. Let’s gOooo.
Woken early by a bizarre dream (IRL dungeon with a floating dragon head - the reward at the end was a 20% off voucher at a cosemtic store) and soon after the neighbours had an epic meltdown, mum and kid absolutely screaming at each other. Oy.
I went outside for the bins and the black cat came up with an excited wiggly tail. So I patted him/her for the first time.
Had to watch it though because they were doing roly polys and showing belly so I chose to keep my hands away from the bear trap. Seems smaller than I remember but fur is soft and shiny, doesn’t seem to be starving or ill.
Melbcat is sooky and cuddly tonight, she was snuggled up being held and tucking her head into my neck/under my chin.
A bit worried about eligibility for surgery in January. More risks are being discussed and because her usual vets don’t want to give more antibiotics her uti may need to be treated by a specialist.

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
