Still sick. Fevers today. I'm tired from not getting much sleep. The girls have been up during the night from thier colds. Yuk, yuk. Oh well, I get to catch up on cuddle time.

Get lots of rest Nam, and get better soon.

I am a bit worn out today, as yesterday I was cleaning house all day for open inspections today and tomorrow to sell the house. Fun fun.... I didn't even get near the computer yesterday, and was in bed at 8.30 last night. Still feel a bit worn out today, so another good nights sleep and I should be good by tomorrow. I would have slept in this morning, though I had to get up and mow the lawn and tidy up outside... yeh... all just so much fun.

I hope you feel better Nam! My day sucked I came home from CBT to be told I have a good case of depression started, I get home to find my favorite goose died while I was gone at the docs. Heat has been terrible. "Snake" my saddle back goose was hatched with two tounges and my baby as it was a special needs gosling. Snake still grew up to a full grown goose despite the defect and was such a fighter. I will really miss that goose, it was the only one I own that did not act like a jackass.

I am sorry to hear that you lost Snake....I know it's so very difficult to loose an animal that is the closest to your heart...Hopefully you have a plush critter that you can curl up with...I have a lot of bunnies that comfort me...I also have a fleece blanket with comical bees...etc. on it....I use it as comfort also...PEACE to you as you sleep tonight Wildfirewildone

SWEET DREAMS.....Nam...I am sending good restful thought to you now........wildfirewildone

Veiled! You crack me up! I was so sad for you about snake then you wrote that he was the only one that wasn't a jackass! That seriously made me laugh! It hurt 'cause I have a sore throat! On a serious note, I'm sorry about snake.

Mmmm depression, that's my worst enemy. It sneaks up on me. It's nice to know Veiled, that you might have caught it early with your therapist's help.

Thankyou Anthony and Wildfire. I feel much better although I sound much worse! Fever is gone and the girls are fine. How is it they bounce back so quickly from being sick? I'll be hacking for the next week! Thanks for the good sleep vibes, and I slept well last night! Cool, cool! Have a great weekend everybody!

I take it you are moving home then? I hope it is an unusually stree-free event for you and your family!

My condolences, Veiled. I find it ironic that a goose with two tongues turns out to be nice and un-goose-like. I am not a huge fan of geese, having been regularly chased by a gang of them as a kid. However, I have also had the pleasure in knowing a friendly one - at least, it was friendly to me! It sounds like you gave Snake a good life. If he or she had been hatched somewhere else, that may never have been possible. Feel good about that!

Yer, we are moving... unfortunately. Because we are only in Melbourne for two years, our financial advisor told us to just rent, instead of buy down here, as our money was making more money where it was, and real estate is not a good investment short term, which is correct. Anyway, we thought when going into this, that we just wanted to find a house and settle for the two years, then we will buy in our next location as that is where kerrie will be attending Uni full-time for about four or five years, sell up our other place, liquidate investments and settle. Well, the house we rented, the owner is an absolute cock, and has lied to us ever since signing the contract. I had doubts about him, but kerrie just wanted to settle, so settle we did. He is not financially sound, and now needs to sell the house to get himself out of his own undoing, which is now our problem also, which he dragged us into, as we as tenants must endure all the BS that goes with selling the house. I fought it at first and made life hard for him, just in return for lieing to us that we could live peacefully for the short two years we are in Melbourne. Now we have agreed to come out of our contract early just to get away from him, which means we have to move house, which kerrie has agreed to listen to me next time and my judgement about people. I hope this is a one off, and that once sold, we can just settle in and then move at the end of 2007 as planned into our own home near kerrie's Uni, which will most likely be in Brisbane... back too sunny Queensland we go, but definately not as hot as Townsville in the tropics of North Queensland. Brisbane has winter, which is just fine with me, and the heat is similar to Melbourne, being a dry heat, not a humid heat.

So... not exactly stress free, but I am making judgements to try and make it that way, so we can just get past this clown, get settled, live out our final duration in Melbourne in peace, then get back into our own property again with no bullshit prevailing us.

Well, today has been pretty good considering everything. Kerrie, Alexander and Logan are all sick, so I have the carer duties for the next few days I dare say, as I seemed to not get it twice for some reason. I have sickness all around me, and now I have to try and avoid it also.... yuk!

A quiet day. We went and got some Thai takeaway for dinner, with some yummy Cold Rock icecream for desert. With three sick ones all demanding different things, takeaway was the only solution to keep my sanity intact tonight. It worked...

I feel like crap. I should get some sleep. It'll make me feel a bit better.
