Its so tough… My vet came to the house for one of my dogs. They knew her and we had palliated her with them for 18 months so when I called they came. It was okay, as okay as these things can be. We’ve also been to the clinic when the time came for other pets. It’s shit either way. But, and I mean this in the kindest way possible… it’s better to arrange it a day early than a day late.

I just gave the OH the spray cleaner and some paper towel. He can do it without standing on a chair so now it’s his job!

I’ve just spotted my furry pendant lights. Ewwww.

I have no idea who is even running!

Thank you muchly.

Go…

I can’t tell you how shit it made all of us feel. Ultimately it is and was her choice, but I’m on her ass every day now to wear it. We don’t care about the false alarms (they do happen) but I’d rather 400 of them than that phone call from her neighbours again.

At least my mum has the brains to wear it and she even said it gives her security and the ability to get out and about, and all she has to do is push a button for help.

It’s much gentler than some of the medicine alternatives. A glass every day, skip a day if it gets too loose but it doesn’t often get that way because it’s not at all harsh.

Please have her get a full check up. Falls are a symptom of something else going on 99% of the time. My mum reluctantly agreed to wear a Live Life alarm around 18 months ago, and she wears it daily. I can check her location, and when she fell while out at a bbq Saturday night it alerted me and my brother. We had a quick chat with her through the pendant, and all was good. My MIL on the other hand refuses to wear hers, and spent a night outside after a fall. ETA: if she’s accessed My Aged Care, she might be able to get one for no cost through a program called GEAT to Go.

You need a glass of pear juice every day.

As someone who transitioned from public holiday pay to an office based role that gives me the day off… I miss the extra $$. It was a nice little boost.

Nope. Get to battle the traffic now and every weekend now till Easter to do my job. And live.

It’s just as bad on the way towards Phillip Island.

That just sent me back to POP at metro on Saturday nights.

Up vote for Closer. My teenage brain didn’t know WTF was going on the first time I heard it!

It’s all over unfortunately**

I’d be careful talking about your inner child today, they’re calling for your fat!

We’ve been subjected to Alice in Wonderland Jr for the child’s school musical this week. It was… interesting

I’ve noticed my local never has stock of the 700gm coles brand tasty shredded cheese. It’s one of the few things I buy at Coles.

Thanks Force.
