It’s Spring tomorrow - how exciting! It’s raining today, but you can feel the weather warming up. I’m not even wearing socks! Naked toes! (nearly wore thongs to Woden to do the grocery shop just now, but then thought better of it - but got to wear keds without socks rather than knee high socks [...]

A Month Off

After mindlessly eating my second Freddo Frog, (after already having my “treat” of cake that day”) I decided, That’s it - I need another month without chocolate.
And it’s decided.
No chocolate for me (or Rish - he’s in on it too) until the evening of September 27.
A month off chocolate.
Help us all.

Finally took myself to a doctor, came out with a prescription for yet anoher variation on penicillin - this time it comes in pink and red capsules. Awesome.

I was also talked into having another day off from work tomorrow by the GP.
PS Happy Speech Pathology Week! Just because I keep trying to lose my voice, [...]

Drugs, please?

I have a feeling I should rock up to the Phillip medical cetre when they open in the morning and ask for an antibiotic prescription. My throat isn’t too happy after talking all day - I can feel the glands have swollen up in my neck.
Best to knock that out, right? Before I wind up [...]

So, soup of choice when sick?
Rish has come home with a nasty sounding and looking chest infection (brought back from Malaysia, no less, what sorts of extra bugs could he have brought back from there?) and I’m trying not to get it too - though in a fit of not having slept last night, and [...]

2 Weeks

I’ve been back in the country nearly two weeks and in that time I think I’ve managed to clock up quite a lot.
Quite a lot of excersize, a lot of socialising, a lot of drinking, a lot of dancing, a lot of flirting.
A lot of fun.
No, Rish won’t “ruin” this by coming back. It’s been [...]

Damn you Newcastle! :p

Tonight I met someone whose little sister works at the the same place as my little sister. And they’re in Newcastle and we’re in Canberra.
Canberra is so small and Newcastle so small that the people that come from there to to here somehow intersect and blow the whole six degrees thing out tof the [...]

Got back to trying to improve my 5km time today. I’ve had a couple of treadmill sessions since coming back, but both were more interval training pace and fitness rather than trying to get my distance going.
I was meant to do the run outside, around Lake Burley Griffin, but with reports of snow this morning [...]

What sleep patterns?

I figured out the secret to beating jet-lag.
Just never establish a routine sleeping pattern. Go to bed at 9 one night, dance til dawn the next. Get up at 5am a day or so after you’ve gone to bed at that same time.
Or not.
It sounds like a good way to get yourself sick :) Anyway, [...]

Today.. I managed to get to work at 8:40am. Not bad considering that I was still lying awake at midnight mind abuzz with random crap. And cold. Stupidly switch the heater on at the wall but forgot to actually turn it on. Aghr.
Ater lots of “Welcome Backs!” I got into my email… only about 500 [...]
