How was your day today?

[November]

We had a great walkies today. Lilah first, as always. She found a sock on the highway, flattened by a few tonnes of trucks, but apparently the best fun ever. She carried it around for most of our walk, throwing it in the air and catching it again, killing it dead and chasing it. Harmony went out next for a solo sniffari on the oval. She loved it, tasted all the different grass and weeds and also found a (different) sock to carry.

We saw the cleaner on our walk. There was a snake in the shire toilets. The bin man asked if it was alive and then told her where all the long handle shire shovels are kept around town 😅

The birds are hilarious at this time of year. So many different varieties. All obese. They are all gutzing themselves on the spilled grain on the side of the roads. The other day my neighbour had to wait for them all to waddle out of the way before he could get his ute through. They are too fat to fly 🤣

I needed more pie. Praline Peach Pie, to be exact. Bought the whole pie! That should last a few days. (Maybe. Hehehe.) I cannot even TELL you how good this pie is. Also got lasagna and a salad. Put cheese all over it, in preparation of my eating it. And broccoli with cheese. It's all sitting on the stove, while I listen to music. And chain smoke. Which reminds me, they're banning menthol cigarettes. Starting next month. Really, really stupid.

Nearly forgot to mention: ALL of my neighbours have been staying inside their places for the longest. Even the ones I DON'T know. You don't see their kids or anything. No one hangs outside anymore. Also, when I run into people in the laundry room (people I don't even know, I remind you) they're oddly respectful, and apologise for being in my way. 😅 Now, THAT'S just freaking weird!! I've kept to myself for awhile and haven't really spoken to anyone, so I was a bit puzzled. Therefore, I'm guessing the neighbourhood gossips have been spinning terrible tales about me. It's like I can't win. I've done mostly nothing to these people (recently) so it's all a bit odd.

I've gotten used to seeing a few people change direction when they see me coming, and I'm not saying that to be funny. 😅 It's true!! Kinda makes me feel like Frankenstein's monster when the villagers wave torches at him. Don't get me wrong, I MUCH prefer having them stay away from me....but it's so dramatic! 😁

I had a great day today, I received a small parcel from my brother, it was the one with Alyssa Milano in it; The Canterville Ghost. That is three versions of the short story by Oscar Wilde I have. Charles Laughton, John Geilgud, Patrick Stewart.
After watching it I went to clean out the gutters, life carries on regardless.

I've barely left the house today. I have a terrible headache.

I did go to the PO to drop off some items I sold on eBay, but thats it. I had tacos delivered.

I am finishing up my Secret Santa as we speak!

I need to clean mine too! I will do it tomorrow.

Good day. We are on vacation in Florida. Plenty of cool decorations where we are, but I thought people would enjoy this awesome inflatable!

Pretty good day. Cruisey. Probably didnt do quite enough to sleep as deep as I want to though!

Got the central pole up out the back to try to hang shade cloth on. I didnt concrete it because I want to see if it works in that position first. But now i think it probably wont work unless i concrete it! We'll see. It was really too windy to muck around with it today.

Must have had a harvest ban, the highway was quiet. Good thing too cos the road was melting even before I had finished with the dogs walks. Im glad I took Harmony first, she doesn't deal with the heat as easy as Lilah does. Lilah and I came across a mudlark on a rock, we got within half a metre of it before it decided it better fly its fat ass away from the excited puppy.

Buns and I had great snuggles tonight while we watched the last ep of Dollhouse. It was a really nice night.

Well, mine has just begun...I work up to snow, and very cold for this area. I'm worried about my pipes freezing. I've opened my cabinets inside and leet the water run, and covered the faucets outside, but I have no idea what's going on in the crawl space or if the pipes are exposed and uncovered down there. I just moved here a couple months ago and was told it doesn't get cold enough to worry about that! This is a subtropical southern climate..why is it ten degrees!?

After work, I have to go to the Apple store, and the PO but plan to hide in my house for the evening. Maybe watch some Buffy!

It's not a good idea to hide from your parole officer.

I finally got a package today thst I’ve been waiting for, season 1-2 of Dark Angel! Its been years since I saw it, I never even saw the final episode in full, so I’m excited to revisit it. One of those shows I haven’t been able to find on streaming, suppose there isn’t a big demand on it.

I didn't know they made a TV show out of it, let alone one that went two seasons!! I just thought it was the movie.

I can't believe it will be Christmas Eve Eve tomorrow. It has come so fast. Christmas has began.

@ILLYRIAN "The movie and the series were completely different. The series gave Jessica Alba her fame, the editor was James Cameron (Abyss - Avatar)"

This confused Spanky, it was then that he realized this was not what was being discussed

 

[Kratos]

Great day today. Weather was ok (cloudy with bits of sunshine). I loved eating out with a friend and then going for a walk around town with her.

 

[ILLYRIAN]

No wonder it confused you Spanky, as Taake originally spoke of Dark Angel series, I commentated on that post then you add a post about something else which was not what I was talking of considering the time since she saw it.
The Dark Angel you have seen is a modern version.
There have been several Dark Angel's.

It was too hot today. The dogs were really really good about staying inside most of the day after their walks, but I got a bit too hot today and am paying for it now. I dont think its going to be cooler tomorrow either. I might clip Harmony again because she was panting a lot too. Cant wait for a cool shower before bed. I hope we can sleep tonight. Only a few more days of those damn flashing lights, I hope!

 

[Joan the Vampire Slayer]

I work a double shift today, then off to Chicago tomorrow. It's really cold here - only 1 degree, which is really unusual for this area. Wish me luck, yall that my flight doesn't get cancelled!
Have a great weekend everyone!

 

[November]

Everyone is getting their meth for Christmas today 😂 saw the bogan ute at the park. Of course Lilah barked at them. Of course she did. It was a good walk besides them.

I watered the garden when I got in. Retic has made that much easier, but its still a big job. I should have got up earlier but I like to get the dogs walked before I start in the yard and I cant take them too early or there are too many feral free roaming dogs on the streets.

Now the day feels done. Im wrecked! Still gotta clean the kitchen before I can have any real food. Its puppy lunch time soon too. I should have frozen some kongs for them to chew. Silly me.

 

[Joan the Vampire Slayer]

Well, I wish I could say my day is going well but...my flight home to Chicago got cancelled due to not having a pilot...thankfully I've been rebooked on a new flight at 4pm today...here's to hoping that one will get be there tonight! This is a bummer though because my family and me had planned to go a show tonight which we will not make...
Went back home and now watching Buffy and eating tacos. Watching Bad Girls. The look on Faith's face when she sees Wesley, lol.

My skanky "stepmom" called me out of the blue. (Dad died a long time ago) I guess she was lonely, which is NOT my problem. But it's Christmas Eve so I spoke with her. I played along until she made snarky remarks about my mom. Big mistake! I can't remember the last time I used so many profanities. And this bitch actually thought I'd possibly visit her one day?! She's NOTHING to me.

Speaking of my mom, she's really, really not doing too well. We're supposed to have Christmas at her house; I'm going because there's no guarantee she'll survive to see the new year. I DON'T WANT TO GO! She's in such a bad way, it makes me sob like a baby. However, I shall go. I'm her daughter, I love her dearly, and I have to do this. I'm her eldest child, and it's my DUTY. But the pain is almost too much to bear.

I went down to the city today. Had to get out of the house. Harmony needed some dog time, shes getting too obsessive with me. I cant even pee alone! Lovely highway drive on the way down. Didnt catch much traffic until I got in there. Meeting was good, busy. Its lucky that not everyone on zoom comes in person, because they wouldnt all fit. Maybe a dozen seats free at most. Its nice to be singing with other people and no dogs to attack my face.

I was pleasantly surprised at how many shops were open. I think more were open than is on a normal sunday. Had I planned better I would have gone for lunch somewhere after, like chinese or sushi. The IGA (grocery) was open so I got a few bits there to make use of the petrol. My mask was a new one and a terrible fit, so if I get covid I cant be surprised!

I got maccas on the way out. I have never seen it so packed! The restaurant was absolutely full, people spilling out the door and the drive thru wasnt quiet either. I think it was the first Christmas they had opened down there and I bet the owners do not regret it after that rush!

Home now. Took ages to get the puppies to settle the heck down about it. It was raining on the coast, but 33C when I got here. Still some cloud cover so nothing to cry about. Exhausted and looking forward to bed tonight!
