Yes, I got through a day at work this week. I feel rather drained, but some things that helped:

A soy latte to start the day from my most referred search term – Lava Espresso, Weston :)

A black cat, up to mischief on the path to work

A purrty flower on the way home.
Can I go to [...]

The Dr sent me for another Glandular Fever blood test today (I haven’t been tested for it this year, so why not? :p) hoping I think that that’s my problem this time around. Was also told to rest, switch to nurofen or aspirin over the large amounts of paracetamol (also better for the joint pain) [...]

Lasted about five minutes out of bed this morning, before deciding that I wasn’t going to struggle though a day at work with a headache, woke up with a throbbing head, rather swollen throat glands, and just not wanting to stand up. So, called work to say I wasn’t going [...]

Back from a very quick dr’s visit. I was pleasantly surprised that I got in so easily – with a doctor new to the surgery so isn’t booked up yet.
Seems to be a generic viral infection getting to my throat and mucous-producing bits. Enough to knock me about long enough to be given til Friday [...]

Christmas/New Year was full on, and full of food.

Unfortunately, I woke up feeling “more hungover than New Years Day” on he 2nd, and I have abit of a throat infection. Blech. So I’m uploading photos to Flickr now, but will spill out the posts as I feel like it.

Happy New Year!

Heh, everyone at work was asking about my ankle this morning – I’d been at the other site Thurs / Fri so noone at my office had seen me since I left bleeding late Wednesday afternoon. The two who patched me up got to retell the excitement of the story, and my first aider was [...]

I like it when I get in to see my prefered doctor. No, I don’t mind paying the full $70 up front, then claiming $33.55 or whatever the going rate is from Medicare. I don’t really even mind that she runs late and that, like today, sometimes it’s by an hour.
I like that she writes [...]

Having another day off today, trying to keep the cough that started up this morning from taking over. Rest, sunshine, water and citrus fruits. I don’t think my stomach particularly likes the cold and flu tablets, so I’ll keep them for night so I can sleep.

I think that sitting outside with the ants and the [...]
