How Was Your Day?

[November]

Rain today has been such a relief. Something to do with the barometric pressure messes with me SO bad and I cant really figure it out. Feel better with the rain, but before it started, when it was blue skies, I felt horrific. I was nearly going to go to the hospital, I was so desperate. But then realised I couldnt explain my symptoms, Just that I hurt and thought my spine would explode. So I went to the pub instead. That didnt help either but at least a change of scenery distracted me a little bit. Now Im daydreaming about living on the coast again cos I never seem to get that level of pain on the coast and I duno why for that either. I really do not want to go through another summer!

Took the dogs walkies in the rain. It was so relaxing. Poodle got the zoomies when I was trying to dry her off. Its not cold, but we've all cuddled up on the couch for the arvo, watching movies and browsing southern coastal real estate I could never afford.

My day was productive, but I've been depressed, and feeling unmotivated so I'm doing it all in a fog. 0

I did some dishes, worked on my dog's training, took my truck to the shop, made some curry, and headed out to see a play.

I got my car back yesterday, fixed and seeming fine. I was so worried there would be damage to the engine. Time will tell, but it seems happy again, which is a big relief.

Today I had a meeting with the realtor at my brother's condo. While I was waiting, a neighbor's friend asked to see the place, as he's in the market for a place. Christmas would come early if he would make a good offer for it, as-is, so I don't have to do all the expensive and time-consuming renovations the realtor thinks it will need to sell. Fingers crossed!

Washed the dogs today, told them no walkies so they did crazy yard zoomies. I have to give them a hair cut next. Especially the blonde one, she looks like a mop, especially after a bath!

So many bobtails in my garden this year. A ridiculous amount. There was a monster one on the driveway and the poodle wanted to take a closer look, but the bobtail would take a big chuck out of her if she did! It was over a foot long, easy. I hope it doesnt leave poop for poodle to roll in again! Thats when I really agree that poodles are french, because she always seems to get the stink right up behind her ears and on her neck, like french perfume. Makes it so hard to wash off without getting water in her ears.

@HowiMetdaSlayer I thought of you at work today, there was a guy with a big Steelers tattoo on his leg.

Had to say goodbye to my trusted old Volvo! RIP old pal 😭

Ah, the weekend, when people won't call or email. It was a lovely autumn day, and I walked with a friend along the water, looking at the beautiful leaves and snow-covered mountains. I needed that after yesterday, when the realtor made me feel bad with all his negative commentary. I wish he could be more positive and see the potential in the condo, instead of freaking out about its being a fixer-upper.

The dog was pacing around at 5:45 AM so I let him out in the back yard and brought him back in. I got up around 7:30 and there was snow on the ground! The weather will be below freezing until Tuesday, so we won't get any meltback until then.

Two for tuesday pizza day for me 😀 Had to go down to the department of transport for some car paperwork. I was going to go into a cafe I used to work at for a coffee, but I forgot it was remembrance day and it was packed out with a line down the street. The main street was closed off too. So I took the scenic route, overlooking the water. Did a quick shop at Aldi (which ended up being $111) I never intended to get that much! And then picked up pizza on the way out. Stupid lady parked next to me and dinged my car with her car door. So annoying and rude.

Police were all over the place, looks like there was an issue at the telstra shop, but I guess I will find out on the news later. Dogs are happy to have me home. Turned on the livestream for big brother australia for the night.

I just got my car back from the MOT it had yesterday. £300, which could have been worse. It could also have been a lot better. What is most annoying is that the £750 water pump I had done 54 weeks ago during the last MOT looks like it's broken again. The first lasted for years and the second for less than a year? The garage that did it can no longer check to see if it's guaranteed - there's a good chance it isn't, given it's over a year - which means I now need to book the car in at another garage to find out whether I need to replace an item that should have lasted longer.

Woke up and stepped in what looks like baby snake poo right next to my bed today 🙁 🙁 🙁 The dogs did not want to get out of bed, but I was not giving them a choice haha. I've shut the door and Im not going in there again for a while, give it a chance to move away out into the sunshine rather than hide if I go looking for it. I will probably never sleep again.

I made breakfast, then spent a while tearing down old fence in my yard. After that, I took a hike in a park, got lost and sort of panicked but made it back. Now, I am about to watch an episode of 7, continuing my preparation for Buffy trivia next month. I may go out and play some darts later at the bar.

Really can't complain, life is good now.

I am so fed up with getting hassled by men when I am trying to walk the dogs. I'm happy to wave and say hi, but more than that is too much to ask or expect. I wish they would LEAVE ME ALONE! I just want to do my walk in peace, I do not have the energy for standing around listening to stupid fracking men, Its not my fault you're lonely, go join the mens shed. But they wont because they only want female attention.

I got snappy with one today, asking what my last name was. What a weird question to ask someone randomly out on a walk.

I do not look approachable either. I wrap my face in a headscarf, I wear a wide brim straw hat and sunglasses, I am extremely fat and wear a baggy tracksuit. I have a dog that barks when people approach me. How else can I get them to stay away from me? Totally over it. I dont owe random men anything on walkies, I'm done being polite.

In fairness if I said anything it would be to ask if I can pet your dogs.

My day started with a bill arriving in the mail for $5118.26 from the city. We had been on a regular direct deposit through a pre-authorized debit for municipal taxes but last year, to avoid the fiasco where my late wife had owned the house and I had to pay a percentage of the house value (amounting to $13,515.00) to transfer ownership. This was done by making my daughter the co-owner of the house. Due to the change in ownership, the pre-authorized debit was cancelled, so the debt accrued. I got the debt paid off and the new pre-authorization filed, but it doesn't start until March, so I have to keep paying monthly until then.

I told the clerk that the city had found the cure for constipation.

That's annoying too to be honest, if shes barking at you, she doesn't want to be pet. And that's usually the case. My anxiety sky rockets when I am approached now and she picks up on it. I love having a guard dog, but she is a poodle and doesnt look scary enough to keep people away from me.

I hate it when people stand at the gate and taunt them too. The dogs go off their nut barking and the people just stand there sticking their hands through the fence. I know the dogs are very, very cute and beautiful dogs, but read their body language! If they were pit bulls barking, you can guarantee these same people would not be sticking their hand through the fence! Disrespectful.

For once, I had a day with no texts, emails, or phone calls related to my executor duties, nor any worry hanging over me regarding same. It was a beautiful autumn day, and I went to see a gigantic globe being displayed at a cathedral near me. It was quite awe-inspiring!

The dogs have been ridiculous today. Always wanting to be piled on top of me, following my every step, always wanting to be cuddling me if possible. They are overly clingy and its getting very annoying! Especially now, because the poodle is on top of me and the blonde dog is on top of the poodle and its not comfortable for any of us! Blonde dog just has absolutely no awareness. Even when I get on the floor to pat the bunny, the dogs usually stay on the couch, not tonight, so I had all three pets curled around me. I cant wait to get in my bed all by myself with nothing wanting to cuddle me!

I duno what to do this week. I had to cancel all my weekend plans because of the weather migraine. So I had planned a quiet week because my weekend was supposed to be so packed full and busy. Now it wasnt and now I need to get out and do something once I feel well enough because Im getting cranky stuck in all 4 walls.

I really hope no one stops me on walkies tomorrow I will bite their head off.

Several hours of leaf raking today because beginning tomorrow an going from Monday to Friday, the vacuum leaf truck is going to be around, but we never know what day or time it is going to be. My lot is 48 feet wide but has a two-lane driveway. I am feeling a bit tired because we have millions of leaves from the tree next door.

Today I was walking past the bank with the blonde dog. One of the old men came out of the bank and said "oh that dogs really strutting out now, looks like a little slut with her tail up like that". And then burped. 😭 😭 😭 Armageddon can not come soon enough.
