We had a storm last night and the rain came down really heavy.  We ended up with 72mm.  NO damage except for a few washouts on the road.  And then this afternoon there has been a storm which is now finished.  I have heard of a lot of branches down and water rushing around the place.  I can now leave and go and get some more supplies of fruit and veg and head on home.  Will see how we go tonight and tomorrow.

It will happen!!

Am happy at the moment as I am sitting in a clean and organised home, dinner is on the stove ready to turn on, all my washing is done and hanging up/folded away.

Decided this morning when I woke that I was going to get everything done so after breakfast the CD player was on and I got stuck into it. Eventually the house was spotless so I had my shower and sat down and had a coffee before going to the doctors to see about Erics throat.

The doctor had a look and said that yes there is some swelling in his throat but its nothing seriouse, will just be a bit sore for a few days but will be fine. But in saying that I need to keep an eye out just in case it does get worse and develop into tonsilitus.

So once we got home I put him down for a nap and got stuck into the organisation part of my day. OMG you should see my desk! its not just clean and tidy, its organised! The only thing on the top is my laptop and mouse, everything else is either on the shelving/in draws or now in the bin. It is ready for study.

I made sure it was all organised as I am expecting my first lot of assignments for 'Cert 4 Financial Services- Bookkeeping'. I think I mentioned a few weeks back that I am doing the course and have been waiting to start. Yesterday I was told they had posted the package so am just waiting for it to arrive in the post.

Am having an easy dinner tonight, picked up a cooked chook while out today so will re-heat that and have with steamed veggies and Eric will have mashed- i hope he eats that! Has been fussy with food the last few days.

So for the rest of the afternoon/Evening I will be relaxing in this awfull heat, there appears to be a storm building so hopefully it will cool it down, preferably without the damage though. I was hoping to start studying but will veg out instead.

Take care all :)

Well i went out and brought an excercise dvd it is one where you have 5 , 10 minute intervals, we tried it this morning we laughed sooo hard as  it is all about dance moves and i tell you i am so unco when it comes to dancing our moves did not look like the ones they were doing but we had fun.  To my surprise my legs were quite sore afterwards we decided to ease into it otherwise i don't think i could move.  With doing this tape and walking it might help to shift some weight.

Have been quiet for the last couple of weeks.  A couple of reasons, once again I've been sick - I have enormouse sinus problems that lead to infections everytime a cold even looks at me!  Anyways, after a barrage of drugs I'm on the mend.  Of course this again has affected my abiility to exercise.  And adding to all of this i"ve had something on every weekend for the last few weeks.  Anyway, I'm back, but am still to weigh myself.

I have ordered the Gabrielle method.  I downloaded the first 3 chapters and it looks like it could be very useful - I hope so.  I still spend most of my days obsessed with food and hungry and I'm wondering if this book may help me move forward from this.

Anyways, will keep posting and let you know my progress.

Here's hoping for a few weeks of good health! :)

Went to gym this morning, and am getting stronger...We may play hockey tonight but depends on whether the storm is going to hit again!

Pleasant surprise! MY friend visited me! She is an energex meter reader so she came up and took her 50 min lunch break with me...It was lovely to see her.  She had been living in Townsville and has come back, but we hadn't had the chance to properly catch up yet. 

I have made appt's to go view the Wedding Chapel and the photographer. There's already one couple in at the chapel on the date we want and the time we want is still available. We can't get in to see it until the 2nd of December, so I hope the time doesn't go. :(  It's on the Gold Coast.  Anyways we figure, if it's meant to be it will be!  And if not, than it isn't the end of the world...We have each other and that's what matters about the whole day :)

I have been addicted to mangoes this past week..They are so yummy!

I bought some tuna for dinner tonight, but am figuring out what to do with it. Will look up some recipes here and see what I can whip up...
