He reminds me of my high school biology teacher, who would throw a formaldehyded frog or eel at students who were talking in class!

Finally did my taxes! π³ Why do they make things so needlessly complicated π

So that people make mistakes.

What about my me?
I've flown out to attend my dad's consultation to get cataract surgery. That was an extremely thorough battery of tests, about seven different tests with different people taking over 90 minutes. And now he's signed up for the surgery, so I'll have to come out again for that, and we may have to line up some of his friends or other relatives to drive and help. It's been a long process and rather an ordeal for both of us, but at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel, literally and figuratively!
Driving home, he wanted to stop at his mechanic's to have his tire pressure and oil level checked. I'm glad we did, because they found that one tire had a leak! Luckily, they could fix it right away, but it would have been terrible to have a flat on top of everything.
Now I have to figure out when and how long to come out for the surgery in a few weeks. It has to be done on each eye separately, two weeks apart, so that makes it a bit more complicated. But I'm glad I can spend some time with Dad, and help him with this. It took forever to convince him he needed to have it done.

Ugh the holiday dread is hitting hard. Too many years of working with horses, there is always one who gets sick on the most expensive day possible.
Today was too hard. People over this morning. Horses tomorrow. More on saturday. I want it to be tuesday now so that I can relax. And then straight into another long weekend. I dont like this at all.

I'm so tired today, I could hear people talking at half 2 last night, and could hear them again when I woke up at 6. I usually can't hear people loudly unless they're in the hallways. Who has conversations in a hallway all night?
I'm supposed to be going out later but not sure if I want to be up late.

For once I agree with you, I'm quite enjoying it too. People trying to claim that they're astronauts. No they just went for a ride, it's like going on a roller-coaster, you pay your ticket, strap in and someone else controls it. They didn't fly it, they just paid for a ticket on it. A very expensive ride!
Well that BBQ was terrible. Free food is nice, and the host was great. Other guests... not so much. Cos I dont present sick all of the time they dribble this shit about people on pensions in front of me. "You're not like those dirty, lazy, bludgers" I speak up and say, actually, I am exactly the same. It is hard to live like this and I understand why two of the people she was bitching about tried to off themselves. I'm glad I spoke up, and hope it gets me out of an invite next time. I should have been better at saying No more times. The host has just been so kind to me, I felt bad. But now I feel badder and wish I didnt go.
It was just the same as my step family bbqs "we're so much better than those dirty leaches drains on society". Why is that the topic of convo at a bbq? I'd rather hear more about the hosts knowledge on bilbies using grass trees as little homes. I had rolled over to this particular woman a lot. When she says dumb things, I just kept the peace. Not anymore.
It does make me question playing golf again too, if this is the kind of stuff they say in front of me, what are they saying behind my back? I trip and stumble around a lot. I dont want to run in those circles.

As usual. People's ability to understand, and even want to understand, others situations is ridiculously limited. Good for you that you spoke up.

I had a semi-lazy day at home, after a long day of traveling back from attending my dad's consultation for cataract surgery. Now I'm making plans to go out again in less than a month for the surgeries, done over two weeks. It's been an ordeal, but it will be worth it when Dad can see well again.

Holidays are horrible. Town got trashed. The caravan park was full, so there were tourists all over the place. People camping in the bush, more car crashes, water rescues and helicopter bush rescues. As usual. Now I have heard calls for banning bushwalking and swimming due to the cost of the rescues.
Between the time I put a bag of dog poop in the bin, and then took the second dog out for a walk - someone had taken the poop bag out of the bin and smooshed it over the street library and drink fountain. Kids have left rubbish and chocolate (i hope its chocolate) all over the oval and playground.
This is why we should abolish holidays. Make it so people have to actually take time off and focus on family/friends without a set date in mind. Be intentional about it rather than making it a forced timeframe.
Spread this stuff out over the year rather than everywhere being booked to the brim for a three days and then empty the rest of the time. Better for business, better for the clean up, better for the people not having to be waitlisted for a year to get a spot in a caravan park.

Wow, you folks do a wild Easter there!
And now half my groceries arnt going to show up because the shops are all sold out with the influx of holiday people. My neighbour drove into the next town this morning - still no milk. no eggs, no bread there. he said plenty of veggies because holiday people cant prep and cook the fresh stuff. I dont want to drive this week so I am going to try get another delivery spot but its a gamble. If the shelves are stripped before my order is packed, I will have to drive on the busiest weekend of the year. Lots of people come down here for the ANZAC day memorial. Its a double whammy this year.
Im all for tourists, its a beautiful place. I just dont like them all at once.

Easter was great! Today not so much! Bus banged front of my parked car. While I was out running errands before work. Put giant dent in front & wrecked my lights on one side. So that whole mess put me 45 mins late for work. Then got soaked by rain while running thru parking lot at work. Then had some rude/irate costumer chew me out cuz we didn't have some stupid tool. Then ended up having to stay an hour late cuz peeps installing new credit card pin pads at work took forever. Already supposed to be there till midnite (well after usual 9pm). We didn't leave store till after 1AM! π
I hope that the bus company will be paying for the damage, and that you're getting paid for the extra time you worked.
Bad days all round!
Just to top it off, the power went out tonight. The website said it wouldn't be back on until 12am. So I had a cold rinse and tucked us all into bed. And the power came back on just as my head hit the pillow. Not gona get up again now.
I betcha im going to dream about JoJo Siwa too, since she was the last thing I saw on my tv screen.
Oh well. At least the bunny got some good cuddles when it initially went out. She got scared but snuggles helped her worry less. And its a warm enough night that a cold shower wasnt completely unpleasant. Makes me appreciate the hot water more! Although had I really needed to, I could have started a fire since the bans are lifted now.
I keep hearing that high pitch electric sound so I wont be surprised if the power goes off again.

Dont give her ideas. Shes already got the bowbows. Although looks like she has outgrown them going into her new non binary self. I mean, I get it, this kid's got balls.
