Sorry I've been absent. I just haven't really had much to say. My mind is mush lately.
Summer has arrived. So not happy about that. I am not a Summer person. I am officially counting down the months/weeks til it's Autumn.
So far we've not had many hot days. But next week is supposed to be getting quite warm. Ew.
Magnaboy was cleared just the other week to go back to the CFS(Country Fire Service). He hasn't been able to go on any call outs since his finger injury, and had to be cleared by a doctor.
Within two days of being cleared, they had a pretty serious bushfire in Blewitt Springs, and more than 100 fire fighters were called up, including fire bombing planes.
Being the 2nd Lt for Blewitt Springs, and the OHSW he's needed there, and they were more than happy for him to get back in to the swing of things.
Finally got our vacuum cleaner back Tuesday. Five fucking weeks it took them. FIVE WEEKS!
What they did, I have no idea... it looks like all they've done is replace the power cord.
It is not working properly. It isn't sucking as it should, and it sounds.... odd.
While I was vacuuming the bathroom, it splattered oil over the tiles. So not fucking happy.
I am not taking it all the way back there(hour drive away in the hills), especially seeing they took so long to do God knows what to it.
I'll just save my pennies and buy something that fucking does the job how it should be done.
In the meantime, Mboy is getting pissed off with all my long hair that is falling out(stress?) and he's finding it in his socks and pretty much everything.
Can't help that... or would he prefer I shave all my hair off?
Our toilet has decided to start playing up. And yeah... being the end of the week, you try getting the owners to get a plumber out!
Looks like Monday arvo is the earliest.
Splashy water all over the back wall, and running behind the toilet, and it's making an awful noise. GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought I'd treat myself to getting my nails done this week. You know, acrylic french ones?
I've not had them done before...and seeing as though through stress etc I'd nibbled them all off, I thought this would give them a chance to grow again.

Well, am not exactly happy with the look. I thought they'd look more or less real.
They look FUCKED!
I paid $60 for something I could have done shitty myself. :o/
Money well spent.... NOT.
Speaking of $.
There will be no more splashing out on such extravagances.
Mboy found out he's got 3.5 weeks off over the Christmas period. Without pay.
The whole plant closes down.
He's only casual, so he doesn't get sick leave or holiday pay.
Needless to say, there will be no Christmas prezzies this year.
What else..... Hmmmmmm.
Oh, I have yet another ear infection. It's not as bad as some of the other one's I've had this year, but enough to make me feel crook, ya know?
So I've been on two courses of antibiotics, and fingers crossed it will piss the hell off.
I rang the ENT clinic at Flinders just yesterday, as I was due another follow up appointment with the ENT doctor, but as yet hadn't received any appointment, and I knew it was supposed to be this month.
Was told he had cancelled all his December clinics. Oh, good oh! Nice to inform us, hey.
Apparently I will be seeing him sometime in January.
I am SO pushing for him to whip out my adenoids. As far as I can tell, this will sort out the constant infections.
I just woke up from a really nice nanna nap. Mboy and I had a lovely Brunch with my bro, Wolfie and his lovely wife, Louise here in the Vale.
Organic bacon, poached free range eggs on rye bread toasted, BEAUTIFUL mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, hash brown and chipolata sausages! OMG!
So you can see why I was so sleepy, after a awesome meal like that. :o)
Nuffink else I can think of. Totally interesting and exciting blog post, eh?
How have you all been? Tell me what you've been up to.
{Hugs 'n squishes 'n all that shiz}
...Ute...
Oh hai there!
ReplyDeleteI'd take the vac back, on principle, but I get that you don't wanna drive all that way. Arsecracks.
I had my nails done once, and it ruined my proper nails for about a year afterwards. They was like tissue paper and I was scared they would just disappear!!
Nothing much happening here, just ate dinner and now I want to nap. But it's too early. Oh and I had a haircut today, finally. I got 3 inches cut off, woot!
Fen- Oh hai!
ReplyDeleteThese guys are the only local agents who repair warrenty things for VAX. But after their dismal performance, I am very reluctant to take it back.
I have heard both good and bad about how acrylic nails can damage/help your natural nails. Here's hoping they don't stuff up my already damaged nails.
We are fairly stuffed after the big brekkie, so just had toast and tea for our evening meal. :o)
Had missed seeing you around and got the feeling from the comment you left that Christmas wasn't going to be so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good thing that Mboy is back with the CFS. That Blewitt Springs thing was scary, I have a friend who lives near where it was.
Oh and now you have me craving a cooked brekkie. maybe tomorrow.
Hugs for you too
That's a really long plant shutdown! Is that typical? A lot of places here shutdown for the week between Xmas and New Year (usually without pay to save money).
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your continuing ear problems. :(
We had some much-needed rain on Friday with more forecast (i.e. guessing) through Monday.
Mynx- Yes, it was lucky they got it under control pretty quickly. If it took off into the Onka, it would've been a helluva mess.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE a cooked brekkie! But rarely have them. So it was a nice change. :o)
xox
LX- Oh hai! You've reverted back to your US name! ;o)
I think it's because the builders etc take an extended break, so there's no need for concrete. It is long, yes.
The rain sounds like a good thing. We could do with some, too. Have a happy weekend! x
LX- PS,, while out having brunch, our waiter who served us was from Houston Texas! He was a really nice guy. :o)
ReplyDeleteI REALLY hate summer..really. It makes my symptoms worse...especially if it's humid. Thank god Perth is mostly a dry heat.
ReplyDeleteYep it's gonna be a lean Christmas in our house too. I don't mind though. I've got everything I need. x
Frankie- I always look to your guys weather, 'cos usually, we end up getting it!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping we have a mild Summer. Hoping, but realistically, it 'aint gonna happen.
The best Chrissy prezzie I could have, is to be with those that I love.
Hi Ute! Been having a bad holiday season here too so don't feel alone in that. Gal bladder may have to go and my car died. Can't afford to replace it either! Present-less Christmas here too. Oh well, what can you do but keep on pushing on.
ReplyDeleteWillious- Oh no! That's awful. :o(
ReplyDeleteGeez, I hope you can get your health sorted out. The car can wait...your health is way more important.
Take care.
