    Tonight my husband and I will be celebrating his promotion and pay rise. At first he thought management were talking about his section but they were talking about the lot. He will be boss of the entire floor. Warehouse and production. Some big name clients there such as AEC and Toyota.

    There’s gonna be a lot of happy workers and a few unhappy ones. Let the fireworks begin.

    Guys, we are now off the poverty line. 🍺

    Back for something that thankfully turned out to be minor. But that visit really sucked and we’re both exhausted.

    We’ve napped and are just resting for now. I’ll make another attempt at fluids when I get some energy. Very grateful someone has gone to grab the electrolytes and broth meat for me

    Well it’s still awkward and a bit fraught. Stupid needle caps coming off way more easily than the stubborn part you actually need to remove.

    But I’ve given subcutaneous fluids a couple of times now, unassisted. Definitely need to get a sharps container with a removal port as that will be much easier and safer.

    Edit: Zombie apocalypse skill acquired?

        It’s more wanting the notch that helps pull the old needle off the tube so I can change it more easily.

        It really gets stuck on there and trying to just pull it off tends to dislodge the cap instead

    Whoa… Meat prices are off the hook. I haven’t eaten meat in so long I only ever look at it when making broth for the cat. I don’t have the energy right now to get to a butcher but really should.

    spoiler

    How the hell is a pack of hot dogs $10? A 500g tube of Coles brand sausage mince is the same as bougie premade rissoles. A blade roast that cost $5-10 when I was a teenager is now $25? And so is chuck steak. Premium prices for ribs.

    Considered beef hearts but they are quite lean and also I’m not sure about brothing organ meats for someone with bad kidneys.

    Unfortunately she’s allergic to chicken (which is the cheapest meat and offers things well suited like wings and necks). I was going to go for soup bones but she greatly prefers the meat broth.

    I’ve chosen some $10 lamb shanks because they would stew well. Perhaps I’ll broth one and freeze the other for the next batch.

      The only meat I’m buying these days is soup bones for the dog. $2-3 for about 8 pieces. Mostly vertebrae. Europa markets in Nobel Park. He gets one or two on Fridays. There’s probably meat in his kibble.

      The price of meat is insane! Lucky the kids love chicken, very rarely we have anything else. If I find decent beef for a massaman or something it’s still a bit pricey for a quantity for 5 people that’ll do one meal only. The kids eat chicken, chicken and more chicken 😆

      Gravy beef? My favourite cut. Needs to stew for at least an hour. It gets tender and melty.
