Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Still very much in the close family member heart attack aftermath.

Meanwhile MSD has cut off my disability allowance due to some kind of clerical error at their end, and yesterday their phone claimed it has a 70 minute wait time but then after it gets your date of birth it just cuts you off saying the call cannot be completed due to caller volume. Their "myMSD" website isn't responding either.

It's super stressful because we really need to stay here right now to support whanau. Reminds me of Brazil the movie but luckily they don't come through the ceiling and take anyone away.

There are some super cute chickens here. My partner prepares food on the veranda of our sleepout so the chickens are very interested. It feels like being on safari only with much shorter animals.

Man, MSD always gives the worst Christmas presents 🙁

Totally. I don't know why they always do weird stuff to us right at Christmas when they are short staffed.

On the plus side some brand new chickens hatched so there are tiny cheeping chicks here now, super cute.

Oh man. You have my sympathies. I hope things work out soon.
