    Well it’s still awkward and a bit fraught. Stupid needle caps coming off way more easily than the part you need to remove.

    But I’ve given subcutaneous fluids a couple of times now, unassisted. Definitely need to get a sharps container with a removal port as that will be much easier and safer.

    Check out person rang through the imodium twice when there was only one.

    Pointed it out and said that sort of thing almost gives me the shits.

    She didn’t get the joke :(

    I am also unimpressed.

    Tonight my husband and I will be celebrating his promotion and pay rise. At first he thought management were talking about his section but they were talking about the lot. He will be boss of the entire floor. Warehouse and production. Some big name clients there such as AEC and Toyota.

    There’s gonna be a lot of happy workers and a few unhappy ones. Let the fireworks begin.

    Guys, we are now off the poverty line. 🍺

    back home

    yes, I have the beginnings of arthritis in my hands

    doc thinks it’s wear and tear but I’m getting for rheumatoid just in case, also some basic metabolic tests to see what anti-inflammatory would be best

    but I caught it very early and am getting treatment 👍

    source
    • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

      No good :( I know there is medication to slow it and help the pain, and there are grips that make it easier to hold pencils or brushes 🤞

      • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        thanks, I can take small doses of aspirin until I get results and a script for specialised meds

        and gentle hugs for your big toe , that must hurt very much because it’s not like you can walk softer

    Back for something that thankfully turned out to be minor. But that visit really sucked and we’re both exhausted.

    We’ve napped and are just resting for now. I’ll make another attempt at fluids when I get some energy. Very grateful someone has gone to grab the electrolytes and broth meat for me

    Just had a single giant gust of wind pass through on what is otherwise a very still day. It ripped the lid off a storage box I have outside and sent my fly trap flying. The trap broke open, freeing flies, larvae and the most awful stench imaginable. Mr Woof thought it was great and tried to roll in it. I am much less pleased with it, and its right next to the clothes line and I now don’t want to hang up my washing.

    I want to use Google Maps less but because it tracks everyone it can suggest different routes home due to traffic. I just had the most arse drive back from a field day because I used OpenStreetMaps instead. I knew going onto the ring road and off again would suck, but i didn’t know where to turn off to avoid it like driving there

    source
    • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I can’t do google maps. Garmin GPS all the way. The way she says Geelong Road cracks me up. Long live the Melways.

      Ps. The ring road doesn’t faze me. I know it inside out.

    today’s art project has commenced 🙂

    I’ve been thinking of it for quite a while already

    my phone is charging

    then I’ll choose and upload a beach picture to my printer and print out a grey scale copy

    then outline in very dark pencil all the shapes and shadows, then trace the outlines on water colour paper, at least four copies

    I will then water colour each paper in a different way. Most will be in grey shades and the objects of interest will be colour

    each picture will be different

    this is to show how when I go to the beach I look at different things, look for different things and my perspective changes

    My snow pea trellis was a casuallty of the strong winds a couple of days ago so I’m afraid my snow pea supply has ended for now. But we will rebuild!

    A couple of pumpkin fruit are starting to grow, a zucchini is nearly to size and there are a lot of little green tomatoes I just need to ripen. I have some onions getting quite large and should have some potatoes soon too.

    Whoa… Meat prices are off the hook. I haven’t eaten meat in so long I only look at it when making broth for the cat. I don’t have the energy right now to get to a butcher but really should.

    spoiler

    How the hell is a pack of hot dogs $10? A 500g tube of Coles brand sausage mince is the same as bougie premade rissoles. A blade roast that cost $5-10 when I was a teenager is now $25? And so is chuck steak. Premium prices for ribs. Considered beef hearts but they are quite lean and also I’m not sure about brothing organ meats for someone with bad kidneys. Unfortunately she’s allergic to chicken (which is the cheapest meat and offers things well suited like wings and necks). I was going to go for soup bones but she greatly prefers the meat broth.

    I’ve chosen some $10 lamb shanks because they would stew well. Perhaps I’ll broth one and freeze the other for the next batch.
