We had an interesting presentation at our team meeting from the student psychologist on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Yes, a number of us thought of it a a little bit ‘hippy’ when reading some of the background, but some of it made a lot of sense… and it might be the sort of thing [...]

Last night we had Matt and Hannah over for a steamboat dinner… we’d brought the steamboat down from Newcastle last time we were there, and were itching to give it a try.
I spent an hour after the gym sourcing the ingredients … firstly to make my own stock - I’ve never made stock before, so [...]

So, last Friday (18/4) I went to the optometrist for my contact lens trial… after some fiddling around, going for a wander so that the left contact could turn itself to the right position in my eye (it was 15 degrees off, apparently it’s only supposed to be up to 5)… I walked out of [...]

Long-weekend goodness

So, perhaps in order to “enjoy” the ANZAC long weekend, there’s some obligation to go to the dawn service, or at least some sort of service? I read the paper… there was ANZAC stuff there, that counts as at least paying attention to the day… though I was more interested in the Canberra leg of [...]

Shame I can’t really be bothered moving to do either :p I think I’ll try the steak… get the pan heating. I have a really nice pack of three T-bones. One for me, one for Rish… another one for Rish for when I make him eat alone on Monday because I’m getting my dinner and [...]

I’ll trade you

I think every poor person I run into today will recieve the offer “I’ll trade you my right ear for your right ear”… if they have the idea to bargain me for something of theirs that is also in quite a lot of pain, I’m likely to take it *sighs* I’m off work today on [...]

No, Virginia!

I was in meetings for 5 hours today *dies*
I think I have tonsilitis. I suspect I may not work tomorrow, we’ll see after I’ve slept for 8 hours, gotten up, had a nice hot shower…etc. But I was suspecting today that if I hadn’t been midlessly sitting in meetings all day that it may not [...]

So, my predictions were wrong. I was a bundle of energy at work today :) May have something to do with the levels of caffiene in my blood, that I started the day with a flu shot, or tha I bought a new rice cooker so am currently making sushi for dinner tonight and lunch [...]

She just wants to snuggle

You know those Saturday nights that you realise are going to sit with you for the rest of the week? The ones where you’re heading to bed at sunrise, later than I get up half the week? Hit the bed at 6am today, and I can never sleep for long enough on those mornings, so [...]

Head in the Clouds

Felt a little shakey in the head and in the legs after the body pump class tonight - really had to try to focus on the road coming home. Not good. But it means I worked hard, right?
SO, being all nerdy for a minute… I love clouds. Tag clouds, like the one of the side. [...]
