Still sick

Still have the nagging cough. Doesn't flare up too much during the day, it's mostly at night when it gets cooler. I'm sure all the dust I'm breathing in isn't helping! With all the vehicles rolling around here, we kick up one heck of a dust cloud.

Keeping the air filters clean is an ongoing struggle....

Under the weather

Urgh... down south for work and definitly not feeling the best. Feeling quite crummy actually.

It was about this weather when we were in Perth not that long ago. But it feels a lot colder. Might be because it is a wet cold here.

We *should* be heading back up north soonish, so hopefully I can soldier through it. We'll see how I feel in the morning.

South

Flying out of town today. Going to be down south for about two weeks or so, with a chance of coming back in the middlish for a bit. Going to be interesting seeing things from this end of the zoo.

Going to be interesting adjusting to the climate difference.

Perth!

Feeling good to have a chance to get back to my old stomping grounds. Not feeling so good to be in the cold again. Brrr!

FaceBook

If FB wanted an idea for a future feature, how about being able categorize friends? As in assign people you know into groups so the people who are important to you, you see all their posts and stuff they like. While people you just keep on your friends list "because" (such as a co-worker in another department you need to contact once a quarter, or that weird relative you don't really tolerate), those people you don't really see their posts and stuff.

Not sure I explained that very well... :/

Little things

Due to my having married into a pre-started family, there are a lot of things that I missed out on. First steps, first words, starting school. Most of the major benchmarks of raising kids. There are some things I'm glad to have missed, like changing diapers and potty training. Can't say I'm too upset about missing out on that! :D

But there were things I'd looked forward to doing with my kids when I was younger. A lot of that I missed out on because of the pre-started; and more I missed out on because I was always working, trying to provide for my family. Roof overhead, food on the table and all that.

Today I got the chance to walk one of the kids to school. Probably last and only chance, I don't expect teenagers to be too enthusiastic about being walked to school. But at least I got the chance to do it once. Might never happen again, so I guess once will have to be enough...

Week off

Woo, got a week off from work. Nothing like getting paid not to work! :)
