Here’s a bit of an insight:  http://www.danasview.net/where.htm

Everyone still has the flu. It’s really running everyone down. Unfortunately, my manager thinks I’m faking it so is being a pain. I guess he doesn’t know there’s thousands of people around Australia.. and inded the world.. whom are very sick. I was talking to a friend from England last night and she said she’s just getting over some terrible flu too. The guy at work whom brings lunches around to sell said his whole family has pneumonia. He’s the only one that’s escaped it so far. His wife and two kids are stuck at home in bed. He was sick for one day and stayed in bed but he’s still getting around selling food even though he has a lingering cough.  I’ve been taking some antibiotics and Bisolvin medicine which seems to be helping a bit. Still runs me down though. I was going to take the kids swimming today but my alarm didn’t go off and I woke up at 10:30am which is when the swimming starts.

Blake will soon be winging his way back to Sydney for a couple of weeks.  I hope he has a real nice time down there. He usually loves it and tells us all about his fun travels.. where he went and what he did.

My parents are not superstitious people. In fact, they are very ‘churchy’, but there’s one thing they DO believe in. Whenever you see an owl around your home it means someone is going to die. The only times they have ever seen an owl in the backyard was when people were about to die. It first happened when my grandmother died and again about a year or so later when my grandfather decided he had nothing more to live for and let himself go. Last week, they saw an owl on the clothesline in the backyard and knew something was about to go horribly wrong. A few days later, my mum’s friend committed suicide. Mum said she hadn’t heard exactly how the deed was done, yet, but she was really upset about it.

We’re going to take it easy this weekend. I was going to wash the cars myself to save money but I think we may need to go to a carwash instead as I’m so exhausted and sick with the flu that I just don’t have the energy to do it.

If you haven’t yet seen Tripping the Rift then you surely do NOT know what you are missing!!

I’m sure I saw a preview of this a long time ago and it was funny as hell! Now looking at it with the sexy Six of One (rawr!) I can’t stop myself watching it!

Apparently there were several internet ’shorts’ created - a bunch of mini shows and it became a tv series.

Tripping the Rift features the classic Stephen Root as captain Chode. Loved him in Office Space and News Radio (as well as Nemo of course). Maurice LaMarche whom has done so many voices on so many shows plays Gus. Gina Gershon & Carmen Electra play Six of One (and half a dozen of the other?).. God she’s so sexy with bouncy boobzes!! And other characters are great as well. Sorry. Can’t get my mind off Six  Hubba Hubba!

Saturday morning, I took the kids swimming as usual. I almost didn’t as I’ve still been feeling sick but went anyway and got there halfway thru the lessons. Sienna’s teacher let us stay for the next class which only had a couple of kids in it anyway so that was good. We finished up and came home to a warm shower to clean off the chlorine and the kids played outside while I watched some TV to relax. Later in the day, I drove the kids up to their grandparents’ place and we jumped into their spa and had a nice relaxing time. Gotta love those spray jets!!

I bought some chicken from Coles on the way up and we had that for lunch. We left in the evening and headed back home. Bec has not been well either so it was good for her to have a break from the noisy kids anyway.

This morning I got up and made some breakfast then headed to Bi Lo to get some groceries with the kids. Bec was still feeling under the weather so she stayed home. We had a great time shopping (well as good as can be shopping) and I got lots of fresh fruit and some frozen veges along with other stuff more healthy than I usually buy. I guess that book I read of Bec’s mum’s really started sticking in my head.

The kids ran around outside this afternoon and I just rested. I got some lozenges today which numb the throat so that’s helping my sore throat. I’ve actually been sick almost all the time since March. I’m so over being sick but every time I’m feeling better, Bec or the kids get it and shortly afterwards I’m sick again. I’d like to take a while off work but my manager is already whinging at me and thinks I take far too much time off, so I’m stuck going to work while sick. Yay

Unfortunately I have had quite a bit of time off due to being genuinely sick every time. The doctors haven’t been able to cure it. Just make it go away for a few days then WHAM! it’s back again. I’ve spent so much money on tablets and medicines, etc this year I’m sure the pharmaceutical companies are loving me. So now my manager requires me to bring a doctor’s certificate even if I only have one day off.

Sorry bout the missing websites. Shit happens and stuff. Full /tmp dir and a rogue process (or is that rouge? I like sexy red ones).

Tell me you dont want a HydroFoam and I’ll call you a fucken liar.

Work is pissing me off at the moment. Can’t say much but don’t think I’ll be there much longer. Not entirely my choice.

Sienna is getting over her flu. I’ve been keeping her company in her room at night with my little heater going all night keeping the temperature at a constant 24 degrees. The warm air is definitely helping both of us and Bec is getting a bit more sleep with Sienna out of the room. Sienna is usually waking about 6:50am which is good. There’s not a lot of room on her single bed however.  I’ve been using nasal spray to keep my sinuses open during the night and so I’m breathing a lot better, which is good as my sleep apnoea ensures I don’t get enough oxygen while sleeping and usually wake up feeling like I’ve had 2 hours sleep. The nasal spray is helping me feel more refreshed the next day due to actually breathing during the night.

Blake has had the last couple of days off school due to the flu as well. It’s going thru the whole family. He was rather well behaved today though which is good, so I bought everyone some Peters Drumstick minis which are miniature Drumstick icecreams — just the right size for kids.

Second Life is still going well. Still having great fun there.
