Physically I am getting better. At least I feel as though I am. I'm not quite there yet, but I'm improving. Mostly I'm happy with this.
Why only mostly? Because this morning I realised that the treatment for my physical illness was as also giving a temporary treatment to my mental illness. Whilst I have been ill, I have had professional medical ( Read more... ) -
Reflections
The woman who sits next to me at work - her husband died over the weekend. He went for a walk and didn't come back. He was only 42. They have two children pre-teen boys.
Life can be unexpected at times in very unhappy ways.
Not really much more I want/can say. -
A High Point Day
Today started with a sleep in, then a phone call from my boss. Normally, this would be greeted with annoyance, seeing as I'm on holiday. He was however, calling to tell me the result of the Expression of Interest that I sent in for the APS 4 and APS 3 positions going in our section. I got the 3. He also said, that whilst I'm in there he would ( Read more... ) -

I now have a nice little cut on my wrist which still hurts when I use my hand...... It's not bad enough to really need medical atention but the embarrasement, but I can just imagine the nurse/doctors reaction (given my ( Read more... ) -
Leaving the nest....
Rose told me today that in July (when she finishes her HSC) she will be moving in with Troy, in Merimbula. I must confess that I cried when she told me. However, I reassured her, that I would support her choice ( Read more... ) -
Exciting Night Last Night
Rod hasn't been feeling well most of the weekend. Mostly dizzyness, with a bit of tingling in his toes/fingers and a fair bit of tiredness. Last night, about half an hour after we got to bed, he had some chest pain. After ringing the medical help line they told us to go into ER. So.... After an overnight stay for observation, a check up with the GP ( Read more... )
