As Oxford Street and surrounds recovers from another Mardi Gras, a few links for consideration…
From ACON (AIDS council of NSW):

Is your workplace LGBT-friendly? It’s more than just “having a policy”… (http://www.prideindiversity.com.au/)
From Riayn’s twitter:
Realising why we don’t have gay marriage since all my co-workers believe I should [...]
Something to brighten your Friday night. Thanks to Tracy, it brightened mine!

Thank you Percy.
Went back to work today. One of the OTs tried to drop me home after our school visit this morning, but I stayed til the end. Mostly catching up on emails and progress notes. It’s amazing how fast [...]

There’s still so much fruit in our fridge from the weekend. Making my way through it, bananas aren’t looking so happy, especially the one that’s been on my desk since Monday, thinking about being eaten…
I’ve never been one for mushy, so had no concerns that the weekend was spent with Rish’s mum visiting and me heading to Uni for 8 hours on Sunday.
Yes, I’m furthering my education instead of pushing out kids. *K-Rudd looks on in horror*. Maybe in 4 years when we’re ready for a kidlet, we might [...]
So far, so good, anyway.
We may have a little victory in the search for a cane sugar-free, dairy free chocolate that doesn’t have a laxative effect or taste like ew.
