had a disagreement with the boss, and had the silent treatment since cos I lost patience with her constant nit picking and told her to shut up..... turning into a perfect Sunday, nice and quiet

Sounds familiar. My cricket got canned. Last nights storm drenched the pitch. Came home got your treatment so went to the beach then the pub. In Uber now on way home for more nit picking.

Cleaning up the garden and pool AGAIN, trying to find some way to stop the wildlife destroying my flowers and veggies, cleaning loos, picking up all the bits of paint that have appeared all over the house, (OH has been stripping woodwork in DD's room so he can paint it before she gets back,) cooking, and if time cardmaking.

Probably the most underestimated organisation in Aus....by all accounts. Not that I've had much to do with them.

Today.... Home 7.45 am...bed 8.3AM till 12.30PM.... Housework including a bit of Shopping and Washing, Cooked Tea/Dinner (Thai green Curry... outta a Jar)..... That's about it for today. Weekdays aren't the best for a night shift worker. I missed out on taking the dog for a walk.... too late/too slow with the house duties. Back to bed at 7ish till 10.40PM... then orf to work by 11.30 leaving here at 11.15pm... luckily I'm really close to my work place.... It'll be basically the same for the next 4 days... except I should get a walk or two in with the dog and a bit of gardening done.

When I get too knackered I drop a sickie...but I've just had over 35 days of those... So better put them on the back burner for at least 4 months dammit !!!

So it truly is back to the grindstone at present....not that I'm complaining... It's sunny warm, easy(ish) and I've got lots of space.

I've got 3 weeks annual leave in March.... So that 4 months will pass that little bit quicker ;) At least I can plan for it. Could have plenty of spare time sooner than I think yet. It ominously quiet in regards to bringing in the Machine that kills our jobs.
