Well... how about that? I realised how far along the year already was seeing as Bill is talking about ANZAC day already and where he has to be.
ANZAC day is in remembrance of Australian and New Zealand troops, at Galipoli, and a big deal over here.
Bill will be going to a country town and inspecting all the veterans, which he's never had to do before.
He thinks it's rather weird...LOL. He will do it tho.
As far as we can tell, it's going to be another year here. Ho hum! It's alright tho, I like the work. It's not too hard.
It will kill me going back to Qld after this.
Scotty the dog has been neutered and is doing well. He licked at it too much ( I didnt realise he was licking as much as he was, as he had the cone on some of the time, but would wait til I wasnt licking when it was off)
he gave himself an infection, so now has 10 days of antibiotics to finish, and has just finished 5 days of oral steriods, which has worked well.
Im going to wait a fair while before I take him back for the stitches out so he's well and truly healed.
I worked in a place that has oldies and palliative care in it for two shifts at the start of the week.
Two of the guys died, one each day, and it ended up making me cry about Dad.
Which wasnt a bad thing, coz I needed to. I had been putting it off for ages.
I miss the old bugger, I really do. Not how he was when he was sick, the real him.
I need to call his wife, see how she is. I called on the one year and she was busy.. but that was 2 months ago!
It's nearly his birthday, so Ill call soon.
alright... now for TMI stations... if you want to scroll down to comments nows the time....
ok, dont say you werent warned.
Im a week over my period due date. It can happen on occasion, but my body isnt even acting like it's thinking Im going to have one.
Ive been hungry. and my temperature guage is whacky. I feel warmer than it has been.
I told Bill Im either pregnant or perimenopausal. I dont know which would bother me more...LOL.
At 38 I didnt really want another child.. but I dont want to be on the edge of freaking menopause either!
He's has a vasectomy, and a good one.. they took 9cm out. That's nearly half of it. I guess it could have re formed...
he would be proud of himself if it had...LOL. Preliminary tests are negative but then again they were when I had Harley, too.
We will see.
anyway.. with that there's not a lot more to say!
ciao!

lasts
Ive been having a hard time getting back on track with my computer sites and groups. I have a savinbgs website I havent even really looked at since I got home. Some of the regular people I talk to will probably think Ive died, LMFAO!
Scotty the crazy Golden Retriever is finally booked to get castrated in the hope the removal of his testosterone producing nuggets will calm him somewhat.
We nearly had us a fairly bad incident the other day when some old guy's dog ran up to us because it was unleashed.
I stood between them and got a little nip for my trouble.
The plan is to give him a week afterwards then start taking him to where there are a lot of dogs, all the time and get him assimilated.
I now have a money plan. I needed one so desperately, Im starting to blow off work coz I dont have to go, and Ive been spending money like it's water.
Not good.
My plan will NEED me to work the full 8 shifts/fortnight most of the time.
I also have plans to get solar hot water and panels for the house. Im just hoping that i havent left it so late that I wont be able to get in before the government rebates finish.
It means about a 10k difference and will be the difference between being able to do it or not.
Once the new laws are through, tho, there will be no more installation of non solar hot water. None, nada. So once our old HWS packs it in.. no cheap solar either.
The govt is planning on having us by the short and curlies.
I think it's unfair to remove the rebates if it's so damn important to have it in that you cant have any other. for shame, aussie govt. for shame.
Going back to Townsville will be an expensive exercise! we want to do some renovations to make the house more livable. Ive put up with it the way it is for a long time.
It needs to be made beautiful. it needs air conditioning throughout. it needs an ensuite! it needs a carport. it needs a shed.
Big dollars!
Also, Bill and I have decided to buy a second house. In case I die before he does, he needs somewhere to live. Or sell to buy somewhere to live.
My house will go to Harley, but then Bill has nothing.
I told him Harley would have to let him live there but hes not for that at all.
So.. we decided that the second house would be the go.
What he doesnt know is Im going to open an extra savings account and siphon money from our account into it, and Im going to open another one for holidays.
I dont even think he will notice the money going ;)
When the time comes he will have a savings history and a hefty balance. Ill put his name on it when needed, after he knows. Having a holiday account will be great too.
No debt after a big holiday? Hell yeah!
I want to be saving about 500/fn myself, so I need to work. Having a reason really helps.
Ive started to ebay stuff i dont need anymore. I dont expect to be making big dollars, but getting rid of stuff to people who want it is good.
The cats are a lot more settled than they were. Ive been using the feliway diffuser, its a synthesised cat pheremone thats meant to make them chilled out.
Good for stressful situations, which in our case is too many cats.
They are playing much more nicely already, and all three cats ate in the kitchen tonight. amazing.
anyway.. on to the survey!
