: I'm 37 ♀️, live on the Top of the South Island in New Zealand, have 3 kids, one dry husband, 12 chickens, 2 ducks, 5 alpacas, one dogs and 2 rabbits. I'm running a pretty self sufficient permaculture here on 2ha and working towards more food and resource independence. People in real life think I'm mad.

Jeez, what have I gotten myself into? Trying to bond female rabbits...older one climbed through the tube to cuddle the small one - but all hell brakes lose when the small one tries to go over to the big one. Only day two...

It just flew out of the window. Now chatting to another fantail. I hope they figure out a way to get clean.

Went to open son's window in the morning, quick glance at the fly paper...a goddamn fantail was stuck in in. Poor little thing. I somehow unstuck it...it's full of glue. Tried to clean it, but seems impossible. It's hopping and flying around now, but doubt it can clean itself. What to do? MIL suggested to put it out of its misery...but it is a fantail and I feel that's tapu.

The dog on the way to the vet. He cried as if about to be killed.
Vet pulled the nail out, dog didn't need to be put under. Got antibiotics, but wasn't too bad yet.
Dog ABSOLUTELY quiet on the way home.

Still waiting on the stinking confirmation number from Social Security before I can even fill out my application for disability.

Yet, in the meantime I owe $300 in utilities, and have NO food left. I'm trying to get right here. Yet, my state likes to drag its feet just making it so I can apply for anything.

If you can help me out I would be ever so grateful.

I'm currently trying to get on disability because of my heart. I am unable to be on my feet for more than an hour. Doctor says I have to remain off my feet if I want to work, but no one will hire me because I lack the skills and experience for such a position.

I'm begging for your help here. Please, donate if you can, and boost this. Thank you!

My dog ripped his toenail while chasing a pinecone...watched it for a few days, hoping it'll come out by itself, but it hasn't. I think it's infected now. To the vet tomorrow...hopefully he won't need to be put under to remove it.

Talk to my hand, my face is not listening!

Best I could come up with after brooding over the neighbour for days πŸ˜†

Just saw a mouse on the kitchen counter. It ran back and forth on the edge. I caught it and it bit me, so I let go and it disappeared! Heaps around at the moment...

Tempted to blast Jarvis across the fence this morning!

aaahhh, so he's a sexist as well as a NIMBY. Oh joy.

My neighbour is driving me insane. He reported us to the council, because apparently we're building a tiny house illegally on the property - we are not doing it illegally, already applied for consent. He's doing everything to stop my 76 year old MIL to have a home for no reason, apart from demonstrating authority.
He is about 250m away from us and the back of his house will face the tiny house.
We are poor, he is rich, so we are lower class people.

3 young arborists were here today looking like straight out of some advertisement.
MIL to me: "Jeez, when we need some eye candy, we'll safe up and get another tree taken down!"

I gained an enormous pile of willow mulch - it's like Christmas for the garden!

MIL and me on way to the shops.
Mil: "OH shit, I forgot to put bra on!"
Me: "Don't worry, I'm not wearing any knickers!"

The downfall is complete 🀣🀣🀣

I'm quite a sucker for articles about Twitter's downfall...so petty πŸ˜…

Attempt 21 of watching season 3 of the Mandalorian with the other half...he's asleep. Ugh.
