He sensed something wasn't right so went out to check on the situation. The dogs were acting strange. He shrugged it off and went back inside for about two seconds but then decided something was definitely wrong and decided to check on Bikki (mummy cat). He went into the granny flat. All six kittens were there but no Bikki. He checked all the corners to make sure she wasn't hiding but she definitely wasn't there.
He then did the very wise thing and tied the dogs up and went to look for her. He found her cowering in the little tunnel behind the granny flat with a good chunk of fur ripped out of her leg (I checked when I got home, it's not too bad. Like she has had an over zealous waxing) and she was covered in slobber. Looks like mainly Angel got a hold of her before she managed to escape and hide behind the flat where it has been blocked off by chicken wire to stop the dogs getting round.
Needless to say, I am a bit shaken about this. Angel has shown little to no interest in our other cat Missy. Mind you, the only interaction they have is through the back door. They have never actually had a physical confrontation.
I realise Angel was probably just playing, but what if she had gotten a little too over enthusiastic. We would have six kittens which would have to be hand reared.
I am just a bit blue and worried. Bikki seems fine. I am sure the shock was worse than the actual injuries. But still......
I have a big, ugly, ouchie stye. It is hurty. And it feels really huge. Hurts to blink and feels like I have been punched in my right eye.
Suggestions have been so far
(a) let me lance it for you when we get home.
Errr, no. I can't even stomach wearing contacts, let alone you, not a trained physician coming at me with a needle to poke in/near my eye.
(b) put a warn washcloth on your eye, that should make the swelling go down
This is the more desireable of my options. I hope it works.
I have been sitting here wondering this afternoon, is it a pissweak excuse to take a day off for a stye. I think so.
Reasons for not coming to work tomorrow:
(a) Manager in Cowra for the day. Not much point coming in.
(b) Monday is a public holiday. Extra long weekend.
(c) I can't be arsed.
The aren't the best reasons, are they. I suppose I better just bite the bullet and come in. I have already been chipped about the amount of sick leave I have taken from upper upper management, although upper management told them to cram it because he is the one who took my calls and he said he knew I was genuinely at death's door and I had Dr's certificates.
Mind you, it's not that hard to get a Dr's certificate these days.
Anyway, my excuses are pissweak and I don't think you can get a medical certificate for feeling sorry for yourself.

It is all very exciting. I want to post pictures, but I am yet to see them uploaded by someone who continously forgets his cable.
Now, here is a question. Aaron has recently been diagnosed with uber low blood pressure. Like low to the point where he is getting headaches daily and gets dizzy a lot, as well as a lot of unpleasant stomach nonsense. Unfortunately, due to him being on anti depressants, he is unable to take medication.
So I was wondering, does anyone know any non medicationy, lifestyle changing, diet changing kind of ways to help with blood pressure. I would (and he would) really appreciate your input on this guys!
Hai Guys!
It has been a while since I have posted, yes. I must apologise. Things being hectic like they are.
Since I last posted a few thing have happened. Aaron and I got a puppy, Zoe. She is a white husky and she is absolutely adorable. Unfortunately, our land lord (who previously said we could get a dog) backflipped, so we broke lease and moved out to St Marys in Western Sydney, not too far from the Blue Mountains where I am originally from. Here is Zoe for you!
Aaron and I hit a bit of a rough spot in our relationship so we took a break for a couple of weeks to sort out our head, but I am pleased to say that we are back and better than ever.
Aaron has changed jobs again to a position at a company called Funbox, where he received a nice pay hike, flexible hours and closer to home, and when things are stressful or there is not much on, the play the Playstation, lucky ducks.
I am still at JLT. It's ok, I guess. Has it's ups and downs.
On the weekend Aaron and I decided we needed to get a companion for our little Zoe, who pines for a playmate, so we rescued a 3 year old malamute from the RSPCA. Her name is Angel and she is adorable. She loves cuddles and belly rubs. She and Zoe are still working out the pecking order, but I think Zoe is figuring out that Angel is alpha dog, simply because she is bigger and older. it is so nice walking down the street with two dogs that turn heads. And here is Angel and her huge tongue!
So what's up with you guys? Tell me all your goss.

First of all he said he completely understood my situation and then asked if there was anything he could do to make me reconsider. Then he let me go with pay and no drama. Was better than anything I could have hoped for.
i have offered to help train new members of staff after work and on weekends to do them a favour. I do love the team I worked with and want to help them. It's the upper management, the actual role and the feeling of being constantly dishonest I couldn't stand.
My manager then said he would be more than happy to give me a reference if I leave my new job.
AWESOMENESS.
Aaron and I are also planning to move to Cronulla in the very near future so it will also be a better location as I won't have to change trains.
So please, happy thoughts would be most appreciate. It would be nice for me to get a role that doesn't make me want to jump out of the window after the first six months.

It was tops. Of course I missed Aaron like crazy but it was nice to get away and have a chilled out, beachy weekend with quality food and quality company.
It was me and 5 other girls who I have all known since my childhood. We all went to high school together and 4 of us also went to the same primary school, so obviously we have known each other for quite a while.
So anyway, I thought I would link the photos so you can have a look. They are on my friends Elissa and Sam's facebooks. Show you the good food and good times and of course, the great beaches! Look upon them and weep! And these beaches are a max hour from where I live.
Of course when I came home and smelled like beach it has made Aaron want to move to a beach town, what with growing up a "coastie" and everything. I confess, I would not complain with moving to the beach. Being the first time in YEARS I have gone to the beach, I forgot how much I love it!
Oh and some surprise news! Aaron and I will be coming to England. This year. In October. How do you like them apples?

As it was pointed out before, Australia doesn't and didn't take kindly to when nutjobs from the US took it upon themselves to judge Heath Ledger.
Now this bunch of zealots are up in arms against the whole country of Australia. Was it because they were called up by Australian radio stations and repeatedly pwned? Cause that was pretty fucking funny when I heard it.
I was unaware that we banned public preaching of the Gospel. There are an awful lot of lawbreakers in Australia, then. Which is really amusing, considering the Prime Minister is a Christian.
I was also unaware we were a hotbed of sodomy and child sex tours. Wow.
Too bad for the raving loonies that they advertised before they actually took action and created the domain names. To quote directly from Pirate (owner) from ZGeek "
LOL! Proof how how FUCKING stupid these people are. They release the press release before purchasing the domain. I now own www.godhatesaustralia.net and www.godhatesaustralia.com is worth checking out (not mine)".
Click and have a good ROFL.

EDIT: godhatesaustralia.net is not yet active. But keep visiting to check when it is. The results are bound to be hilarious. And Aaron has just informed me that ZGeek are also creating a site called www.godhateswesborochurch.com. That will bee PRICELESS!

Land lord comes over. He and Aaron have taken it upon themselves to become electricians and play with our sub for the 5.1 which got cooked in a power surge last night.
Subsequently, I am bored.
How are we all? Are we well?
I am tired and overworked and overmyjob.
Any suggestions for someone who might be considering a career change? And suggesting a university degree will not be scoffed at. I am seriously considering doing education so I can be a kindy teacher. Or doing something degree-y! But this is in the future when Aaron gets a new job and is well paid enough that I will not need to work full time (so hoefully within 6 months to a year, tops)
So, tell Kel what to do with her life. Starting............ NOW!
PS - turns out it may not be the sub after all but the power box. Doesn't fix the problem though. Looks like we will have to get a new system. That pisses me off somewhat considering we got this one less than 4 months ago.

- I can post on LJ as much as I want and not cop flak
- I have just ordered pizza for myself and my cellmate which is to be delivered in half an hour. And I am starving.
- I am going to eat it at my desk, something which is normally frowned upon on a normal work day
- Because of this I am not going to take "lunch" and proceed to take lots of breaks.
Today is good. And I get to finish at 3:30. Added bonus.
If anyone can direct me to some good links that would be appreciated. I am a bit bored.
Please bear in mind my computer doesn't have sound and some sites may be restricted. But I am usually good to go. So recommenedations...... NOW!

So drink your fosters, use your upward inflections at the end of a sentence and wear thongs (flip flops), singlets (vests) and stubbies (shorts).
Oh wait - it's winter over there. Maybe you should dress warm. I keep forgetting your winter is our summer.
Mind you, with the weather over here, you wouldn't be able to tell.
so HAPPY COLONIAL DAY! And remember a "prison" has turned out some pretty decent sorts.
Well a can of worms has certainly been opened over the past week. I have already posted this on
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
emmelinemay 's thread, but I thought I would post it as well. I think it's a point worth raising....Whilst people on here know I do believe in God and have faith, I especially get incensed when people take it upon themselves to speak on his behalf. It does say that God disapproves of the act of homosexuality in the bible, it never says, hate them, persecute them and go protest at someone's funeral who once portrayed a homosexual man in a movie. Quite the contrary. God tells us to love people, forgive them, no matter how much they may have done wrong to you personally. And being gay is definitely not something I count amongst them!
I developed a severe case of the burning rage when I saw that people were even contemplating the idea to the point of broadcasting it on the internet of protesting at a mans funeral. The callousness and the insensitivity of it. A man has lost his life, his family will be suffering grief beyond words, but wait, here's a large pile of salt! Lets go rub it on the gaping wounds.
God loves people. He hates the act of "sin", but he loves the sinner to the point of sending his son to a literal and very painful death. He wants us to love people as well, regardless of how much you might disagree with a lifestyle choice. I mean, here's an example. People hate my smoking. They wished I wouldn't do it, and it makes them sad when I do. That doesn't mean they love me as a person any less.
We have no right to judge other people. As the saying goes "don't pull out the speck in someone's eye unless you pull the plank out of your eye first". Or my other favourite, said by the man himself "let he who is without sin cast the first stone". Said - in defence of a prostitute. A woman who Jesus is supposed to hate, judge and want dead because of her "immoral" profession. Yet he showed, love, compassion and saved her life. This is the God that people need to know about. Not some dude with a beard in a frock sitting on a cloud throwing lightning bolts at someone for sneezing on a Tuesday.
People who do things like what these plonkers are in "God's name" make me sick, angry and they make the Christian faith look like a bunch of freaks and the idealism of a loving God a joke. I shouldn't have to defend myself
for having beliefs, and people already think I'm enough of a weirdo, but these people make me appear just plain crazy!
There is my two cents. I just wanted you to know I completely agree with people. The WBC, ABE or LMNOP or whatever those zealots are calling themselves are portraying the exact opposite of God's love They are preaching a message of hate, and they are not helping see God's love by doing this. They are just making themselves, and the rest of the people in the world who do love God, look like complete and utter loonies.
I think my point was, don't hate God because people are running around doing things "in His name". Truth is, God may well be saying "Stop doing
that! You're making me look bad!".
BURNING RAGE. HAD TO VENT.
And I'm spent.
It's lots of little things, I think, that make it feel like a big thing. I am pretty sure things will start to look up soon but at the moment.......... sigh! For those who can stomach a rant

Why are they trying to get blood out of a stone!?!?! Why are they trying to steal my very soul?!?! Shouldn't they be making my last week a nice one so I don't raise hell before I leave?
I should have walked.
But I'm a wuss.
