Diary Week 10

No alarm this morning so it was around 7ish when I got up and dressed. After a slice off banana bread I threw in a load of laundry and vacuumed out.

Watched Leo while Jess went to get Blain and after they got back Jess hung around to 2.30pm.

It has been another hot day, needed the air con on.

Up and dressed at 6.15 as per usual, a cool start to the day.

Jess rang at 8.47am to let me know she would be late as there had been an accident, she was not in an accident, someone else was.

Jess arrived at 9.30 and we went to Kmart and I was able to get 4 new tops 3 for home and a nice black on for going out.

It is another stinking hot day, temp around 37 degrees.

Will finish Mutiny on the Bounty tonight.

Up and dressed at 6.15 when the alarm went off. A much cooler day.

Tasha had to get me some more chocolate milk as Tim drank it all also asked her to get normal milk.

I downloaded another book to listen to as I finished Mutiny on the Bounty last night.

Some rain today.

Up and dressed at 6.15, it is raining and very cool.

I felt so tired at 9.30 that I had to go back to bed for 2hrs.

Stopped raining around 10ish but still cool.

Mum told me Michelle asked if her and Landon could stay with her & Dawson and both Dawson and Dave told her no.

Michelle also asked if she could leave her dogs at mum's and she said no.

She also said that the DoH rang and said they had a place for her at Edgeworth of course mum said nope not interested but for the lady rang and spoke to Sandy at mum's request and they said that they had another place at Windale which mum and Sandy checked out but mum still said no not interested. Mum said the bathroom wasn't big enough.

I got dressed in the bath room this morning I then had a fright, I couldn't find Leo looked everywhere only to realise he isn't here because he spent last night at his house. I felt like a dill.

A wet day had to get Tasha to take Leo to meet Brian (his driver). She will have to get him this afternoon if it is raining.

Brian drove Leo down, he didn't see Tasha standing under a carport out of the rain. So she said what was the point of being there in pissing rain.

Awake and up before my alarm this morning, as Leo came in at 5.30 because he had a bad dream about one of his bunnies “Oppie”

This morning I had to ring Leo's driver as it was 8.30am and he hadn't turned up when I spoke to him he said he thought I had rang and said Leo was sick and not going. He had already dropped kids off at the school. He did come back to get Leo and apologised saying it is the first time in 6yrs he has forgot a student.

I was annoyed but what's the point didn't change anything.

Mum rang to let me know that Dad's headstone is now in place.

Wasn't able to get toilet paper anywhere. Dave said if some comes in he will put some aside for us. I hope he can get some.

Dave was able to get me & Jess some toilet paper, I am relieved.

Jess helping me get ready for bed tonight.

I woke at 7.45am at 7.46 I received a text to tell me my grocery delivery would be arriving next. I went to the loo and then into get dressed and could see the delivery truck pull up. I said so and Tim jumped up saying what all ready. He wanted a sleep in but he didn't go back to bed.

I was short 3 items so will have to get Tasha to get them for me today or tomorrow.

Jess & Leo have gone to the show they took Katja with them. Tasha also went with some friends. Mum said Dawson went as well.

I had to ring mum at 4pm she forgot about me, that is a good thing as it means she was preoccupied and not feeling lonely.

Tim bought a security camera for inside the house, I don't know why. He has set it up in the lounge-room.

Happy Dad

Dad's happy now....................

Bilby

Hello Wednesday been a cool day no need for the air con, being Wednesday it is Aussie Day and today animal is the bilby.

Macrotis, known as bilbies or rabbit-bandicoots, is a genus of desert-dwelling marsupial omnivores; they are members of the order Peramelemorphia. At the time of European colonisation of Australia, there were two species. The lesser bilby became extinct in the 1950s; the greater bilby survives but remains endangered.

There is estimated to be about 600-700 bilbies left around the world. Before European settlement, bilbies lived over 70% of the Australian Mainland.

Greater bilbies are important in the restoration of soil and rejuvenation of vegetation in arid Australia. They use their strong front paws to dig deep holes in soil that enables plant material to fall in and decompose. ... With the decline of Australia's native wildlife, our ecosystem hangs in the balance.

Bilbies are omnivores, which means they eat a mixture of animals and plants. They have a varied diet, which includes: insects such as termites, spiders, other small animals such as lizards and worms, small mammals, fruit, bulbs, and seeds. Bilbies find their food by searching in the sand with their long snout

Mongoose

Hello everyone, yesterday it was stinking bloody hot and today it is pretty cool, not cold and guess what I have broken out it a head to foot sweat three times this morning.

So it's Tuesday so it is creature day and today we a looking at the Mongoose, a creature with a strange name. However, it's not a goose it is cat size mammal with bushy dense fur they are small like the size of a cat, carnivorans native to southern Eurasia and mainland Africa.

They maybe small but they are known for their bravery and toughness in fights with deadly snakes which they eat. It is bloody good at jumping out of the way of snakes and such. Now because of its dense fur snakes find it is hard to sink their fangs into a mongooses thick fur. Doesn't hurt that they are also resistant to snake venom, when a snake tries it on with a mongoose it often finds its head is bitten off by the mongoose and the rest of its eaten.

Guess what some might say foolish other thing they do, they will raid a crocodile nest when the mother isn't looking and steal her eggs, they are able to do this because of how fast they move.

Lastly they make a strange noise, that sounds like giggling, especially when they are looking for a mate.

Had a quick shower and got ready for aqua, Tasha doesn't like me going she worries it is too much for me.

Tim is on afternoons this week.

Had the injection in my knee, hope it works well, only time will tell.

Tasha has written about it in his communication book.

I hope he is better tomorrow

It has turned out hot,

I am so fed up with my right arm aching,

Up and dressed as usual with the roosters crow found myself drenched in sweat as I got dressed. So the air con went on early.

Woke at 3am for the loo but when I went back to bed I could not sleep, I laid there till 4.30am which was the last time before I dropped off. I also a a very bad headache.

A much cooler start to the day, hope it stays cool

Did 2 loads of laundry and vacuumed out twice and looks like it needs it again.

This afternoons after I was laying down listening to my book Tasha & Leo got into a spat. All she wanted was for Leo to open his door and speak to her, he didn't want to and this cause a conflict and when he did open it he had his hoody on hiding his face and couldn't understand when he had to show his face.

Up with my alarm and got dressed in the lounge-room so not to disturb Tim.

Had a good morning shopping with Jessica and I didn't run into anything or over anyone.

It has been a warm day with a nice breeze through the house.

Mum was telling me that Ed was told by his dad that he has another brother named Mick who he wants Ed to meet, which he is suppose to do this weekend.
