Star date log - or whatever they say on star trek - Thursday 15 January 2009...
I guess there must be some kind of club somewhere, a club for those who live – or who have lived – in 38°C. I was reacquainted Tuesday with this club. Oh what joy!
Would not have been so bad if was not feeling so ill – flippin bug. Ended up spending the day with all the windows closed, curtains drawn and blinds down. Felt bizarre - like I had become allergic to light.
Managed to keep in fairly cool inside – occasionally I would put my hand outside over the balcony – soon to retract as it was covered in a warm coating of "hot".
Still one of the things about being ill is that you get to do stuff you might never get round to - such as watching DVDs! Watched the Man of the Year with Robin Williams and Laura Dern - excellent film. Yesterday saw Castaway with Tom Hanks - another superb film - what excellent choice I have in films - tee hee.
Other useful stuff I got sorted included posting letter to wonderful Telstra about my rather large bill - how could I download 30Gb of stuff over the net in one month????? Also changed the rego on my car windscreen - kinda good timing as the one on display was over a week out of date. Also managed to sort out info for 07/08 tax return and did check on rental payments for Barrow Road which seemed to indicate a hiccup in cashflow - however a quick evening e-mail over to uk seemed to indicate all was good.
Thankfully the weather has been a bit more temperate over the last few days - in fact today in kinda chilly - but in a blissful way. Max today is expected to be 23°C.
So what else to report - well am kinda excited with the Joan Rivers tickets -front row seats. And noted in the paper today tickets for Howard Jones in Feb - bring it on.
Been off work since Tuesday - had a horrible bunged up feeling, accompanied by tight chest and knackered feeling. Went to docs this morning, have a secondary infection - got to use an inhaler twice in the morning and twice in the evening - yippee. Signed off for the rest of the week too. Ah well.
Found four jobs over weekend and a couple more last night - started on them yesterday - need to make some more progress over next couple of days.
Actually thinking about it better sign off here and crack on with 'em!
