ColinMcRae:DiRTFanNo.1 70 Posted May 4 @KittyFit90, what did you do when your laptop ran out of battery life, when you on the beach? Did you go back to the hotel to charge it up? ColinMcRae:DiRTFanNo.1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KittyFit90 235 Posted May 4 Haha the beach house had an outside power outlet on the deck, just ran the charger there to my chair. Wasn't a hotel either, my parents own it, just a tiny 2 bedroom beach house right in the dunes, sleepy little town of 40 people, 2 shops, a pub and a caravan park. Bliss. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KittyFit90 235 Posted May 6 Mine are blessedly infrequent, but bad. I got driven home yesterday by a colleague and then spent the afternoon laying on my bed groaning. Worst part was, my wife made dinner...which was ordinary...very ordinary...actually made me feel sicker. Some people are just not meant to cook LOL I'm taking it easy to today, just going to watch some TV this morning and stay away from the lab...the lighting and using a magnifying glass obviously triggered me yesterday. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Murikka 245 Posted May 8 (edited) I did a thing today. Removed front bumper and nose cone + rad support of my gf's Chevrolet Caprice. I also gave bunch of tools to my gf and told her to learn how to use those. She want's to learn and I'm more than happy to teach. She did so well today, eventually she can say that se built her car by herself. Our main goal is to get rid of that POS Oldsmobile engine and replace it with 350cid small block chevy + fresh transmission. Also that car needs some new metal (rust fixes) as some parts of it looks like it was lifted from the sea, right next of Titanic.

KittyFit90 235 Posted May 13 So, because of restrictions that may last months (which effects class sizes etc) my university is not accepting any international students to attend at campus. My department needed to drop 25% of total teaching hours across all staff. As such I'm now going to be .5 for the second half of the year, I'm teaching one undergrad topic and co-teaching one other and supervising postgrad students as normal. Most of my colleagues are not very happy at the cuts but accept that its necessary in the current situation...me I couldn't care less...I don't work for the money, I do it because I love Paleontology! More time to spend in the lab lols 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ColinMcRae:DiRTFanNo.1 70 Posted May 13 @KittyFit90, I think most if not all work places will be cutting hours, due to income loss etc, caused by this world pandemic. Colin... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Colin... Hah not my wife, shes been flat out, disappeared for 5 days this week, that always sucks as she can only ever tell me how long she will be gone not where shes going 😞 Though I can guess, given how much extreme cold weather gear she took, I reckon she must've flown to one of the Antarctic stations with supplies...very cool! Good news too her promotion has been confirmed, as of June 1st she'll be 2ic of a squadron...no increase in rank but definitely a step up the chain, a few years of that then she'll be a squadron leader, that will make her happy at least. So ambitious that one 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KittyFit90 235 Posted May 21 I got this note this morning from my missus: 'Dearest Kitty, I know how much you've been looking forward to joining the 30 club (drawn big grin emoji), only a month to go from today! I thought I would share with you some of the things you can look forward to when finally becoming a mature adult. You can look forward to age lines forming on your face, lots more grey hairs, your sciatic nerve will start to play up and best of all your b**** will start to sag! (she drew a LOL emojii there). I can't wait to share these experiences with you!!! Love Megs (love heart)' I wrote **** off and drew a hand with the middle finger extended. She thinks she's so funny! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KittyFit90 235 Posted May 24 Yay, I'm down to 55 kilos! I feel great too, 5 more to go till target weight I took a few large bags of my fat lady clothes to the charity shop this morning, that felt awesome to unload that stuff, never going to need them again either, I am actually enjoying the fitness regime (well not the sprints, push ups, crunches...or anything else my wife makes me do) but the hiking is great and I don't mind the exercise bike. I think the biggest thing is getting off the booze, I can even cope with my anxiety at the moment too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KittyFit90 235 Posted June 4 Uh-oh... My wife is up to something, she's being all secretive. Had a parcel delivered yesterday...she never orders things online. I suspect shes planning something for my 30th in 2 and a half weeks. Now the question is? Do i strive to find out what or just leave it and be pleasantly surprised (hopefully!)? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KittyFit90 235 Posted June 18 Haha, I've worked it out, my wife is wonderful (sometimes!) the surprise as it were is going to be epic and memorable. I've just got to pretend that I don't know...though I'm a terrible liar/actor 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
