So, It’s turned into bronchitis, not swine flu or whooping cough or anything like that. I’m on antibiotics, some inhaler with something in it, and have the rest of the week off work. I’ll get a lot of reading done in that time I’m sure, given I’m going to be without a home computer until the end of May :(
Getting there.

ugh.
Spent Wed-Fri home from work, and now am in Newcastle with an icky cough. Hoping it wil go by Monday night so I don’t have to take any more time off work, or have to go to the dr’s again, or, you know, still be sick and all that…
Got a reasonable night’s sleep last night – Rish went out to a party and I bunkered downstairs early with a book, tissues, water, strepsils and cold and flu tabs. Woke up at 8, so got about 10 hours of restless sleep. :)

Once upon a time, my baby sister (who is not such a baby any more) was going through a childhood period of lactose intolerance. Some kids do these things.
Anyway, because her language wasn’t quite up to the awesome skill levels of her sister two years her senior, she had some difficulties with some semantic tasks. Like using words that sounded similar in the wrong place, with cuteness generally ensuing.
Soil milk, being the name she gave to soy milk. At the time, I think I agreed, as the Seventh day Adventist church, aka Sanitarium, hadn’t quite developed So Good soy milk to taste much better than potting mix.
It seems to have evolved, and so I’m trialling it for awhile, in my tea and coffee, on my oats. Just mucking around with the dairy in my diet to see if that helps with my annoying gut and perhaps my general health. I don’t think it will hurt me (unlike chelation for autistic kids) so I may as well. :) Wish me luck with the soil milk?

I’ve just spent two days in a workshop on Autism (and related spectrum disorders). Nice to have some new resources, information (like did you know that the original article that claimed a link between the MMR vaccination and ASD was not only discredited many times over, but actually retracted? And yet people still go on about a link?) There are so many expensive and unproven “cures” out there, it’s scary :(
Now I need to try and apply my new info to my caseload. Starting … Tuesday I think I have my next kid with a PDD in… provided I don’t succumb to this sore throat/cold that’s been hanging around these two days… a weekend in Newcastle will either fix me or wear me down right??
(I can’t get the new DMB single out of my head. You can download it here free atm… My hard drive has died so I can’t replace it with a new song in my head right now)
(oh and I’m having a nephew apparently. waiting for the first baby pics to appear on facebook!)

Unfortunately, it looks like I won’t be eating chocolate for awhile. *sulks* It seemed to be upsettling my stomach over the Easter weekend, and then when I had a mini mars bar yesterday, my tummy wasn’t happy at all for the rest of the afternoon.
It may not be the chocolate only, but I’ll start there and see if I feel better. So chocolate and I are on a break for term 2. Meh.
I also really should get aground to getting my flu shot next week. Because, as I always say “Kids are germ-bags”.

Made with water and milk powder because we’re out of real milk, added some brown sugar and yum!
Tastes like winter :)
