All Better Now

Well Monday I slept on and off all day. I would have had Tuesday off as well but had a meeting at lunchtime and a clinical assessment in the morning. As this nurse has already had to cancel twice in the past I didn't want to miss this one. I struggled through feeling quite dizzy at times (God I'm a hero!). Planned to come home and go to bed but didn't get through my working day until 5pm anyway. Wednesday felt better and apart from being very 'sinusy' am definately on the mend now. Alice is sniffing still and H is starting to go that way.

Had childcare problems Tuesday and Wednesday and ended up dumping the girls at Matamata pools for both mornings (quite legal over the age of 8). Eric is only round the corner anyway. I offered to take them out today (I could have gone to Te Awamutu with work and found them something to do there) but they wanted to stay at home. Was hoping to catch up with Sarah and Kathryn but that did not come off. I have taken tomorrow off so will do something with the girls then.

Feral Beryl (nee Dusty) was 'done' on Tuesday. I was all ready with tea, toast and sympathy when she got home (well maybe not the toast) and she looked pathetic and poorly... for all of 20 minutes. We let her out for a wee and she was leaping around chasing flies. Personally I think they just shaved her and stitched the skin without opening her up! I suppose that she can officially stay out at night now but I guess we'll give her some time to get over it. A month or 3!!

Weather is variable wet when I want to garden, dry when I'm stuck indoors. News is dire and dominated by the, unknown at this point in time, fate of Kenneth Bigley. How we feel for him and his family.

Well I have nil else to report. School hols painless-ish and non descript at present. Hope they get more interesting (if just for the sake of having something interesting to report on blog) and stay painless. Robyn's just phoned. S + K free tomorrow so I will take them all to WaterWorld in Hamilton.

Oh I saw a job this week I'd love to go for. 16 week contracts in a bush hospital in Australia. Airfares, accomodation and food paid for. Working with aborigines. I'd love it but don't think IMAC would give me the time off at such a busy period. The kids hate me going away for one night, don't know how they'd cope with 16 weeks (if I'm honest that goes both ways!!).
