My poor son. He can’t get in to see an ophthalmologist for months. His optician prescribed erythromycin and it only helped a bit. His paediatrician tried oral antibiotics - didn’t work. But nobody knows what this is 😭

White House wants us to stand with ICE. Seems to me, we’re trying to - beside them, behind them, in front of them. But they keep trying to gas and shoot us. What else are protestors supposed to do?!

Thank you, Mandy. I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving! I had foot surgery a week ago so been working my way through the fun of that 🤣🤪. Not online…. Barely online mentally 🤪
Foot surgery fun!

Awwww. That’s sad. My kitties are indoor only. My granny’s goat was torn to shreds by dogs, and later her cat. It’s for their protection and to protect other creatures against them as well.

Aside from my family and the beauty of New Zealand - this is what I miss the most. The food I grew up with. This is a Kiwi basic - mince pie and doughnut. I didn’t have them often, but they can be so damned delicious!

The US Government may have found a way to reduce student debt. If we don’t need the Department of Education, do we really all need expensive college degrees? Seems to me that the necessity of the first should dictate the importance of the second. Especially when there are so few jobs available 😎

Our sweet Midnight has been a beloved family member for 10 years now. He was two years old when he joined our family. His previous owner had sadly gone into hospital never to leave. Midnight had been in the shelter for several months - passed over due to an existing heart murmur. Our win! 💕

My son came home and asked me to make pavlova for his class tomorrow as he said he would bring in a dessert from New Zealand. 🇳🇿 it’s not pretty. I rarely try make them as I have high altitude issues. But I try to be a good mum. Talk about last minute rush though! I had no eggs….

My other 13yo son has been doing FACS in 7th grade. So now, sitting on the floor by our cat bed, is a tie dyed, embroidered “blanket” along with his hand sewn cat and its pillow. He’s so cute. He wanted to make them for our cats.

I don’t think I have been missed much but I’ve been quiet the last few weeks. Illness has hit my family hard this year and the political idiocy affects my home. I’ve stayed quiet rather than take a deep dive into crazy - which would not be pretty. I miss the contact with so many of you though.

In-house dramas are more fun than political ones! Twin B complained that Twin A got a knife from the kitchen and threatened him because Twin B used his hairbrush (B’s brush) to brush Midnight, and now Midnight is infected and Twin A can’t cuddle him any more. First world issues. Sigh.
