Shopping day

With Christmas coming up, I decided to take a Friday off and do a bit of shopping, with a focus on ME.

OMG, Found an R2D2 something - anything will do really, but this is a Beer fridge!

Wish I had a 3D printer, I would have added legs, motorized it so it follows me around the garden so cold beer is always on hand.

I ended up finding fairly good Christmas presents for a couple of the grand kids, but who knows what they will like for more than 2 minutes.

Think maybe I'll get Santa to get me a milling machine or wood lathe. I really would like steel lathe but think I'm going to have lots of wood work experiences coming up and very little steel work (nothing more fun than cutting a thread on steel rods and the smell of the lubricant/coolant).

Old wig losing hair quickly

Not that I'm one to complain about not having hair, but my $25 wig is starting to look a bit thin. I decided to borrow my wife's $1,000 wig - but I'm finding it hard (and scary) to be blond.

I'm fairly sure I need a new $25 wig, and now I've sold the house, I might splash out on a $150 wig once we're in our new house. The neighbours in the townhouses will be in for some gossip once I move in, especially the lady in the first townhouse who "monitors" all people coming into the block 😁

It's been a year

 Since I meet this jolly man, and his team even sent a reminder to get another photo

It's not like I was even expecting him at the mall, he was just there and looking lonely when I was there, so thought I'd go and say "Hi".

Anyway - I thought I would share a day of my life THIS WEEK.

00:30hrs -16 year old cat screams for food, I get up feed him and visit the toilet

05:00 hrs- cat screams for more food, I get up and feed him, dog gets excited and wants a packet of cat food. I'm fully awake now, so select some pretty clothes, put away the dishes that dried over night.

06.00hrs - coffee at a cafe, read the paper. Eventually changed back to mens clothes and to work by 7am

Around 3.30pm, get home, put microwave dinner in microwave, feed dog and cat, eat dinner, walk the dog around the block.

By 5pm go to hospital to see my wife, keep her company, get trained on how to do injections, help her shower and wait until I get kicked out.

Home around 9.30-10pm, feed cat again, make snack, share it with dog, write up some training material.

10.45 have a shower, shave, brush teeth.

11pm and finally in bed.

Next day - repeat the previous day, same tomorrow and the day after and........

I have a couple of favourite coffee shops. 

One has a lovely woman behind the counter who gets my coffee perfect every time. Anyway we were chatting and she told me she had some dresses she no longer wanted and thought about me and asked if I wanted them. I'm a bit bigger than most women around the shoulders but she suggested I try them anyway. And I did.

While I like them and would definitely wear them, I'm just too big 😒

Except for a lovely blue dress that just expresses me nicely, so I decided to wear it into her shop the very next day.

 

Had a sad, recent experience, my wife got a CD player to use while in hospital, but my favourite CD has aged (like me) and is no longer playable (a bit like my knees and back).

Anyway, weekend before hospital visits, I stole a couple of hours for myself to relax and do a couple of domestic chores.
