WEEK 14 OF 2023

Sunday here and daylight savings has come to an end managed to turn one clock back this morning will need help doing the others.

Last night Jess and Tim had an issue he rang her as soon as she got home to tell her Sam had gone out and she answered the phone in a snappy way and it went from there. I get that she had a loweong day and had to deal with spiders which she is terrified of and having a phone call while still sitting in the car caused her to snap. Tim has done so many times himself when I have attempted to speak to him as soon as he got home from work, however, he made a big deal out of it in Jess's opinion. I was asleep so don't really know. He said she was yelling at him but I heard nothing.

When I read the texts Sam sent Tim I became upset as he was very disrespectful and Jess doesn't think he should respect his elders she thinks that is old fashioned. Everyone else feels he was of line. I am so over it all.

I have told Jess not to bother coming and helping me tonight as Tim wants to give them some space.

Up at 4.50am as usual it is somewhat cool so only one door opened.

For some reason Jess told Sam thought he wasn't allowed here this has upset me. I told him of course he could come here, I also told him how I felt about his disrespect for Tim after I said my piece I am done and I will not be rehashing it over and over.

When Tasha picked up the scripts they gave her the wrong medication and when I rang they realised they filled an old script of medication that I do not take anymore.

At 4.50am when I got up it was pissing down rain not much for breakfast, as little food.

Thankfully the groceries came early at 7am I was on the phone to Kathy so had to cut our chat short.

Tasha bought me a ham & cheese croissant for my breaky which was a surprise.

Had a doctors appointment with my GP it went well he has reduced one my medications or stopped it I can't remember which at the moment.

It has been raining on and off all day.

Had a decent nights sleep although Tim wasn't able to sleep till pretty late as in the early morning hours.

Tasha drove her dad to the hospital before she went to her appointment and Jess picked him up at 1pm when he was discharged. All went well and he is coping just fine this afternoon.

Been raining on and off all day, the cleaners came and will be back in a fortnight.

Last day of school for term one. Tried to ring Sam at 7.30am as per usual but he declined the call, how annoying at least he has to be awake to do that. Sent him a text asking if I had pissed him off he rang and said no he just got out of the shower.

Sandy turned up with Denni & Hayley in tow and helped me with a couple of small jobs. The girls found 2 small lizards in the back yard and Hayley wanted to take them home which they did. Sandy took the letters I had waiting to be posted.

It's Good Friday thus a public holiday also school is on a two week break but still I was up at 5am. It is cold enough for me to not have the doors opened and dark enough to have the ceiling light on not just the touch lamp near my laptop.

A cold wet day.

Kathy came over with Sydney to give me a shower.

Sandy came over with Denni & Hayley to return my hammer and drop of a basket of laundry. Tim going on about this not being a laundromat as Tasha rang wanting to use the dryer, he pissed her off.

I will put myself to bed tonight.

Saturday and a fine cold start to it had to put long pants on as my legs felt cold. No rain today but still pretty cool.

Tim didn't get up till nearly 10am so I was able to listen to a good deal of my book.

I asked Sandy to combine my medical folders into just one folder. I hope she doesn't take too long to do it.

JO-ANNE'S THOUGHTS

 

Well today is Good Friday here in my part of the world so today's thoughts are about Easter.

As a child I remember getting nice Easter Eggs on Easter Sunday but do not remember any Easter Egg hunts, although I hide my own daughters Easter Eggs. However, I used to label each egg with their initial, so there were no fights or one getting more then the others. My girls never thought it odd that the Easter Bunny would label their eggs.

I am no longer a church going person but I still do not eat meat on Good Friday in fact I only had meat one Good Friday back when I first met Tim as I forgot it was Good Friday.

As some will know my dad past away on Easter Sunday in 2019 so despite the date Easter Sunday will always be a bitter sweet day for my family.

CREATURE DAY

Here we are at a wet somewhat cold Tuesday morning and of course that means in is creature day and this week we have the flying dragon.

This is a lizard and while other lizards also have small flaps of skin along their ribs and are members of the flying dragon genus this one it the only known reptile recognised as true gliders.

Soaring on outstretched wings the flying dragon lizard moves effortlessly around its native forests in south-eastern Asia and India.

The wings are actually skin extensions called “patagia” they allow the lizard to glide through the air. They have a maximum flight trajectory of 8 metres for both male and females, which is 40 times its body length.


The patagia helps identify different species as each of the 45 known specie has a unique colour display.

WEEK 13 OF 2023

Had a good night up at 4.55am as usual, we are in for a cloudy day with some rain.

Tim was telling me how he asked Jess for help syncing his phone into the car and how she was rude and didn't want to help him. He then showed me the texts between them and she wasn't rude and didn't say she wouldn't help him. What she did say was he really needs to learn to do it himself and he won't learn if he doesn't try. When I pointed that out he got the shits with me and wouldn't talk to me, he did go and try to do it himself but had trouble and eventually asked me for help. It turned out he wasn't doing anything wrong it was just being a bitch. After many attempts I got it to sync in. His mood improved as the day went on.

When Sandy called in I told her it was being a bitch and she understood completely. It happens to all of us at times.

When Jess came over to help me get ready for bed she showed me a couple of YouTube clips she thought I would like, which I did but I think Tim thought we were talking about him. He asked me what we were talking about I told him about the clips because he wasn't interested he walked away.

Up at 5am again in for another warm day. Tim has to an about with the surgeon who did his elbow to judge how it is he healing. Turns out he was a week early for his appointment this annoyed him big time.

Tasha and I had a talk with Tim about his depression as it is bad since his accident and we are worried about him. He is argumentative and defensive all the time, he as agreed to speak to our GP about it. He often doesn't get that he is speaking in a manner that makes one want to say “fuck you”.

Tasha and Tim are so much alike that they clash violently all the bloody time. This leaves me feeling like shit as I am stuck in the middle.

Had a fair bit of rain today heavy at times.

Been awake since 4am when I went to pee and found I couldn't settle down again. So I have been up since 4.45am.

Sam didn't go to school as he has a Dr's appointment.

Tum drove Jess and Sam to his Dr's appointment and hung around to bring them back.

This afternoon Tasha & Jess had another positive talk with their dad. This made me feel happy.

Up at 4.50am again it is raining again. So Tasha had to take Sam up to meet his driver.

The wet morning turned into a hot day with no rain.

I find with the increase in medication I am tired by 1pm and falling asleep by 3pm, I hope my body adjusts soon.

Wednesday is shower day and I am happy I am able to shower myself again.

A bloody early start to the day as I woke at 4.20 needing to pee and couldn't see the point in going back to bed.

The day has turned out warm and sunny.

Tim has no appointments this has made him feel good but next week he has a few of them.

Last day of March saw me out of bed at 4.50am again. Only have the front door open as it is pretty cool.

At 7.40am Jess and Sam walked in s she could tell me that she is going out for the day she is doing a security course and someone she knows has a son doing the course so offered to drive her so she doesn't have to worry about parking.

Tim went and cancelled our post office box as it is an expense we can do without.

Tim also at last got a builders report about the tree coming through the roof for the insurance.

DAWSON'S BIRTHDAY HE IS 24

Had a good night slept straight through the night till 3.30am got up and peed then back to bed and back to sleep till 5am when I got up.

A cool but sunny day, Tim did the laundry and it took a bit out of him, I would have helped but he doesn't want or think he needs my help. I am sure he thinks I am useless.

Had to have a nap between 9 & 10.30 as I was so tired, felt better afterwards.
