Family are all sick with viruses and one with tonsillitis. There are also other health related issues with certain family members which have been dragging on for a while now. I'm the sort of person who rarely gets sick, so I have to be the nurse while working my 5 days a week. It's hard and I'm not the best nurse if the truth be told, so I'm getting sick of the attitudes from people I'm trying to help. People aren't really themselves when they're sick so I'm just trying to be patient and tell myself that it won't always be like this.

Hey, be safe out there guys! The amount of idiotic driving and near misses I witnessed on the way to work was greater than usual for sure.

You made me laugh on the bus!

Day 19 of exercise program completed minus the jumping jacks and the mountain climbers due to mysteriously injured foot. Day 4 of tummy exercises also completed. Pain spray liberally applied. Ibuprofen taken. Let's get this bread!

Well I've survived the night, Mr Peeler didn't manage to kill me with insufficiently cooked chicken. Foot is still sore but not quite as bad as yesterday. Luckily I've got a mostly sit down job today, making lasagna sheets. I'll take my pain spray with me and hope for the best.

It's fucking cold out there too! It feels like there's no quality control of the service, only customer compliance. Did you pay for the shitty service? No? Then we won't attack the shitty service, just you. Are you on a bus now or still waiting?

My kids are still young enough that the CBD is interesting, but I think they're becoming wary of the people who approach and ask for money. It's been really notable the last couple of times. We were even sitting just inside the front of a McDonald's and someone entered far enough to ask me for money in front of the kids. The kids were unsettled by it. My oldest also noted that piss was a common aroma. We weren't hanging out around the shitty parts of the CBD, it was an "in general" kind of thing.

Somehow I've hurt my foot. Not in the "I've been working on my feet all day" way that's familiar to me, but on top of the foot as though I dropped something heavy on it (except I didn't). Just liberally sprayed with my go to pain relief spray and contemplating my dinner. Mr Peeler cooked shazlicks which were lovely but the chicken ones could've done with a little more cooking (I checked the kids ones and they were fine, just mine didn't seem right). Pray for me!

That's ridiculous. The only time I ever did Xmas in July was when my late FIL was alive (barely) and I didn't think he'd make it until Xmas. So I did a family Xmas in July so he could enjoy something and we'd have an occasion to remember, and bugger me if I didn't fluke one of the nicest meals I've ever cooked. People still talk about it kinda hopefully around this time of year but I only did it that one time for special reasons. KFC can go to buggery.

That's something I'd be happy to have in my lunchbox for reheats at work, nice colours.

Wow, I missed all the drama! Was spending time in Aussie Zone reconnecting with people from the r/melbourne daily thread now that we've recreated our safe and supportive familiar community over there (the mods of Reddit decided to nuke our sub at short notice and we were devastated!) I came back here to this drama, and frankly I understand it fully after spending some time quickly looking at Lemmy world (I was told there was a Bluey community there, and as an Aussie I was interested in checking it out and looked through the posts, comments etc to get a feel of it). Hooo boy, that's definitely a different vibe, especially after the wholesomeness of Beehaw generally and my old submates. It's not overly harmful but not a vibe I'd like here. I left quickly. I support the decision you've made.

One thing I definitely won't miss is being downvoted for just asking a question!
