KittyFit90 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Oh no! I've been sick the last few weeks, still am but recovering... damn Covid 😞 Silly state government opened our border too early and despite being double vaxxed I still got the omicron variant and it really has floored me. I think I'm going to be fine and the worst is definitely passed but still, what a way to ruin my Christmas. Oh well, more of my wifes awful cooking🤮🤣 Merry Christmas everyone hugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KittyFit90 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Ughh I'm melting... its just under 40 here today. Lucky I had the beach house's air conditioner upgraded after last summer. Hope everyone had a good christmas, mine was ok even though it was just me and my wife and a way overcooked roast pork! New Years fireworks cancelled tonight because of fire danger so may not even bother to make it to midnight. Happy New Year though! Uhm... wife is back to work on the 3rd of Jan, I'm probs not going to like her new position, she will be working longer hours than she used to now. Otherwise all is good with me, feeling fine now if a little tired 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KittyFit90 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Wife is staying on base due to huge Covid numbers here, haven't seen her for a week now 😢 Omicron strain sure is contagious, luckily it seems to be mostly harmless, like I was probs sicker than most people are with it here and it was kinda no more than the flu.

KittyFit90 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Woah quiet😴 Hope you're good @UP100. I'm fine, got my fossil lab topic next week for a fortnight, been busy busy adjusting stuff so that we follow strict Covid protocols, the biggie has been the exam, the fossils are usually handed from student to student but now I've had to do 'bags' of fossils for each student which are all sort of similar in content. Means instead of me having a list of 40 or so fossils that I write questions for, I've now got 15 bags of 40 with questions eek. I barely see my wife too😪 hers is a front line unit and that means they have to be ready to be a first response force if theres a war, so all of the squadron are staying on base. We can meet at a park bench on base both wearing full face masks for a max of 15 minutes 3 times a week, no hugging or kissing either. Its awful, stupid federal government for allowing foreign tourists, stupid state government for folding to federal pressure and easing our borders and restrictions, stupid Omicron! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KittyFit90 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 1 week down, 1 to go. Very tired but coping fine. Teaching for 7 hours a day for a whole week is very different from a couple of hours a day! My regular hours are so much easier lol I've got my usual 'Post K-Pg Evolution: The Rise of Mammals' topic 1st semester and then my new and improved 'The Paleontology of Evolution: Extinction, Adaptation and Change' in 2nd semester. And of course the field school in the mid year break, though I'm only a co-teacher on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KittyFit90 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 State election today, choice of the incumbent centre right party or the centre left party. The centre right party have botched Covid and had a few corruption issues (nothing serious), they also scrapped the V8 Adelaide 500 which sucks ass and they have not approved any of my research grant requests! The centre left party governed for nearly 20 years but lost 4 years ago, they give lots of research grants yay! They are expected to win comfortably according to the polls, I know who I voted for 😁 Bad news though, my wife's squadron is staying in isolation another month, found out this morning 😞 I quote "we're a combat unit Kitty, I can't have half the squadron absent from duty with Covid if a war starts' ... very sad today 😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never gets easier they weren’t just dogs to me: Im sorry for your loss❤️ Thank you, at least she went peacefully, that morning she just seemed lethargic, she slept most of the day, ignored her dinner and then in the evening, she was asleep beside me on the bed, her breathing got all irregular and then stopped. She didn't even stir, just passed, it could not have been any easier for her. She had arthritis which was a little painful but manageable and her heart was wearing out (which is what I think went at the end), so she had quality of life all the way to the end which I am so grateful for. 18 for a Beagle is around 95 for a human, so she had a good run. Miss her so badly😪 Edited April 18, 2022 by KittyFit90 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a chance that things are just breaking with updates, but will see I can look into getting a continuation of The Stuff Thread to the EA answers HQ. Not like we have had too much activity in here, but I think it's worth it to keep even in a very inactive format...

Yeah I don' treally visit this place much any moer I spend most of my time on https://bsn.boards.net/ talkiing about games these days. Mostly because a lo tof peopl ewho play the Mass Effect and Dragon Age games are here. There are ki8nd o fplaces like game threads for non Bioware games as well like Assassins Creed. Since Codies became an EA studio this was always likely to happen. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
