Last night Blake and I were lying in bed reading together. I was caught up in 'The God Delusion' and he was devouring a book on psychic phenomena. Kind of funny to think that the world's angriest atheist and the open to all things spiritual guy were sharing an evening together in perfect harmony.

This morning I finally got together with Kate, my lovely neglected friend. Getting together with a fellow nurse is no mean feat given the unsociable hours we work so I was excited about our plan to have breakfast in Kings Park and then spend some time walking and gossiping.

I was reminded today why Blake and I don't eat out very often. Blake ordered soup for dinner and specified it needed to gluten and dairy free. Apparently this was no problem, so you can imagine our surprise when it arrived at our table with pasta floating through it. If they didn't know what gluten was, they probably should have said something. The ( Read more... )

Week one, I lost two kilos. Week two, I put on two kilos. To say this was discouraging is to put it lightly ( Read more... )

We had a staff meeting this week. My boss said she wants to start each meeting with an uplifting quote. This month she chose something by Henry Ford. Nice...
