Small victories!
Yesterday I managed to shower myself. Up until then I have had to get help from friends. It took me about 90 minutes total, and I felt like I had run a marathon, but very happy. Today Teri is c...
Day 13
My little cat Bebe is sick. It seems like cystitis, she is going to the dirt tray a lot but producing very little. I had to do a phone consult with the vet yesterday and he prescribed antibioti...
Highs and lows
It’s raining really hard. They kind that comes straight down, and makes you thankful for a cushy indoor job, especially one with a window to watch everyone’s umbrellas being blown inside out. I...
The roommate story
So my roommate. When we last left him he was very loved up with a woman originally from Asia, but now residing in Melbourne. He met her in March, and then went over 2 other times to see her (so...
She's gone
Sorry to leave you all hanging after my last entry. My beloved Mum passed away on Sunday 19 August. A week to the day after she had the stroke. From the Wednesday she was asleep a lot of the tim...
Mum
I’m sitting by my Mother’s bedside, watching her last few moments. She had a major stroke yesterday, and has been unresponsive since. She is mostly peaceful, although occasionally reaching her...
Trucking along
We get a four day weekend for Easter. Friday and Monday are public holidays. I am hanging out for it. I have a huge list of household stuff I would like to get completed. Already though, thin...
Snaps
I have joined a cruise group on Facebook. My goodness there are some zealots there. I mean I can get excited about a holiday with the same frenzy as the best of them, but these people are out o...
I won't forget to remember you
My boss (VT)’s mother has been sick for a while (she lives in a rest home). On Monday VT was told it wouldn’t be much longer. So I was very surprised to see her at work on Tuesday morning. At ...
Pity party for one
Bear with me guys, I am on a bit of a downer today. I know exactly what the cause is too. Normally I work between Christmas and New Year. I enjoy it, we get everything up to date and ready to ...
Adulting
I’ve got a chicken curry bubbling along nicely in the slow-cooker. Meals all planned for the week. I was at the supermarket at 6.30am - I absolutely loath supermarket shopping, so going when no...
I might be crazy
So today marks two weeks of working from home. I’m going slowly c.r.a.z.y. Turns out that even though the people I work for are arseholes, they are my arseholes, and I miss them. I also miss t...
Greetings from the shakey isles
Thanks for all your notes. We are currently up to over 1,000 aftershocks (yes, you read that right). Even the kitties are starting to get blasé about the shaking, they look at me, and if I don’...
It's going to be a long night.
At 12.02 this morning we were hit by a 7.5 earthquake. It went on for around 2 minutes, which is a very long time when you are under a doorway clinging on for dear life, wondering if this is how ...
Spinning
Lately things have been a bit out of control in my life. I kind of over scheduled myself, and finished up doing a shit ton of travelling. In between the Fiji vacation, and the Australia work tri...
Screw you Monday.
Sorry to go on about the weather, but it really has been brutal. Cold and wet. It is snowing in a lot of places but not here, thank goodness. Last time it snowed was 2 or maybe 3 years ago, an...
Whiney one
Oh dear, I am a fading flower today. Went out for eyebrow threading and dinner with Dani last night. By the time we got to dinner it was about 8.00pm, and I was v hungry. I had ribs, fries and...
Tiny bubbles
Aloha y’all. I’m back from my Honolulu trip. It’s cold and rainy here, just in case I needed a reminder of how unpleasant winter can be. Because of the time difference I have been up since 4.3...
Cough cough
See, this is what happens when you get smug. My last entry was about eating well and stuff. Last Tuesday I woke up with a sore throat, my mid afternoon it was full on level 10 cold. Gross. Be...
Checking in
It’s been so long, I don’t know where to start. When I left you last I was all stressed about a weird pain in my side, and was headed off for my first ever ultrasound. Everything was completely ...
Catnip and other delights
Ultrasound is scheduled for 9.00am tomorrow. I can’t eat or drink for 6 hours prior. The eating doesn’t bother me, but I’m getting thirsty just thinking about not having a drink in the morning....
Hello from the other side
Gosh you know it has been a while since you updated when you have to go back and re-read your last entry to figure out what was going on. I’m pleased to report that my kitchen is now done. Compl...
Summer, summer, summer
Ah the weather is a delightful 18deg here today (64f). People have a definite spring in their step and even some of my more morose clients have been pleasant today. I ate my lunch down by the w...
My weekend.
I had a fun weekend. The bosses took us out to lunch on Friday (unheard of), and I had a glass of wine with lunch. I remember now why I don’t do that. I struggled through the afternoon and was...
First world problems
I am on about day 30 of a vicious head cold. I had 2 and ½ days off work at height of it – the ½ comes from when I dragged myself in and my terrified co-workers practically locked themselves in ...
