Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 3mMy husband’s grandma was like this. Everything was about her. Every conversation had to be about her and she’d get in a huff if someone else was the center of attention. It’s got to be some sort of personality disorder. 000
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Didn’t have time to make dinner, so we had last minute pizza. Kasper has also been busy removing windows amd helping with the painting. 020
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I’ve worked so hard today. Deadlifted 115kg, came home and sanded a ceiling (hell), filled a load of holes (not as rude as it sounds) then spent literally hours painting the walls. How do the pros make it look so fast and easy. 150
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Despite all the protective gear, he came out resembling a ghost. 020
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Full on kill room set-up and then a ghostbuster planted in the middle. Otherwise known as paining the kitchen ceiling day. 270
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 10/10/20267-12:30, so not too bad. Plus it’s my free weekend so this is all overtime. 💰💰💰 040
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I might have actually finished painting the woodwork yesterday. Today I will start on the walls and hope the wallpaper stays up. 😬 But first a gym session and a little shift at work. 160
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 09/10/2026My view while washing up until the new, bigger window gets fitted in a week or so. But afterwards, I’ll actually be able to see out of the window. 050
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Day off today. It would have been a 3-day weekend, but I signed up for an extra shift tomorrow morning. Oh well. Hoping to get the hallway finished this weekend. One more coat on the woodwork and then paint the walls. Oh, and paint the doors. Hmmm, and the ceiling. 130
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 07/10/2026My son has informed me that he has a new girlfriend. He was so upset when he broke up with the last one and seems very happy again now. This, of course makes me happy. 0100
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I’m learning as I go along which shortcuts work and which don’t. 010
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 07/10/2026This was the first morning where I could really smell the autumn air. Everyone has their fires lit, so that smell is in the air too. It’s gorgeous. It’s going to rain solidly for at least the next week and a half now though, so had to make the most of it while I coild. 010
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Yeah, it probably needed more work, but there was so much of it and I was being lazy. Didn’t work out for the best though! Made more work for myself. 110
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Starting the day with a walk down to the harbour to watch the sunrise. It’s been too long since I did that. Lovely. 1100
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Yep. Quite possibly. I’m not sure the door will shut with the thickness of paint on the frame. 100
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I was so excited to get the second coat on yesterday so I could see the final result. Alas. 100
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The dark stained wood in the hallway is proving to be a challenge. It’s been sanded down, had an undercoat and two coats of white and it still needs more. 220
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Aaaand relax. Evening shifts are done and Ihave a day off. Looking forward to getting to the gym as I haven’t been for the last two days. Then on to the painting. 140
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Last two evening shifts coming up now. Hopefully won’t have any more for a little while. And today and tomorrow I’m only working until 8, so I still get to see Kasper before bed. 050
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I am full of snot. Hoping it’s just a little cold and I’m not going to be knocked out for days. 120
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Sunday morning, I have the gym to myself. 7.5 hours of work ahead and then I’m going to go home and just relax. I don’t need to do anything this afternoon/evening. There are things I could do, but I’m not going to let myself. 060
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Feeling exhausted today. I slept really well, but not enough, it seems. I’ve started eating a bit less to lose the extra pounds I’ve added over the last year. I can really feel it in the gym. I’m weak AF today. 010
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Got to work this weekend, but it’s going to feel so much easier because it’s regular day shift. 040
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Sitting on the sofa, drinking coffee, fire lit. A whole day off ahead of me. Going to go to the gym, do some painting and thoroughly enjoy not having to go to work. 170
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Evening shifts done for the week. A day off tomorrow. Going to really enjoy it. 150
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 01/10/20263.5 hours into my 12 hour shift. Already got told off by a doctor 🙄 Just realised that it’s 20 years today until I can retire. The countdown begins… 180
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Rough evening at work yesterday. We lost one. I didn’t sleep well and am going into a 12 hour shift. Longing for a day off tomorrow now. 260
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I’m just sitting on the sofa and watching YouTube and doing sudokus. I’m not generally good at doing nothing, but today it feels so needed. 020
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Yesterday was a tiring day at work. Today is going to be 9.5 hours of evening shift and then a 12 hour shift tomorrow. And I never sleep well after evening shifts. I’m so tired already. 020
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I really need to get out and give the wall the last coat of paint because I’m not sure when the weather will be dry again, but I’m so tired. Maybe I’ll risk it and hope for some dry weather later in the week. 121
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 29/09/2026So far I have put away a big delivery of building supplies, put the dishwasher on, made Kasper’s lunch for tomorrow and am about to go out and get started on the painting. 010
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Message from boss: can you start 2 hours earlier today? NOPE! I have shit to get done. 120
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Woke up before 4. I will not have time for a nap today, but have to work until 10 tonight. I’m hoping to get out and finish painting the outsides of the house while it’s dry and make it to the gym before work. 150
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I can’t survive without naps. I sleep so badly at night, but daytime I own! 010
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Yeah, it’s perfect for you and probably many other people. It’s something that needs to come back. 110
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 28/09/2026😂 ummm… Al fresco voyeurism? Open air peep show? Naturism plus? Vehicular based live adult entertainment? 120
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Probably because we outsource everything abroad these days. Local small businesses using local people just don’t exist now. I agree though. I love a repetitive, mindless task. 120
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I remember my sister having work like that back in the 80s. She used to assemble lampshades and stuff like that. She had a hallway full of boxes, but could sit and breast feed her baby, smoke her fags and make lampshades. 😂 110
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Same! I do mostly day shifts, but do have to work weekends. A Monday-Friday 7-3 (more normal office hours here) would be pure luxury. No evenings, no weekends. Just steady hours. It’s incredibly rare in my line of work, but I’m always on the lookout. 110
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Same. The eating messes me up too. I don’t always want what the residents are eating, but it’s a bit awkward cooking something for them and then sitting and eating something different. 210
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Just a warning: I have three days of evening shifts ahead of me. Prepare for a whole lot of moaning. I really hate evening shifts. I basically won’t see Kasper for days and I’ll be really grumpy. 120
Jodi @jodlepodle.bsky.social · 28/09/2026First day back at work today after 17 days off. Came home and slept for a couple of hours. I thought maybe I’d do some painting, but probably needed the rest. 140
