Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak;
courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

Hi everyone!
Sorry it's been a while since I've been here. I think I've got a case of the blaaahs! I just don't/can't/couldn't be bothered/wish I was elsewhere etc etc. I'm sure many of you can relate to that.
I have been reading what you've all written, so hugs to many, best wishes for good luck/good health or just happy days.
It's the end of the month here and I should be busy but again the blaaahs have struck.

Hubby went back to the specialist for his post-op appointment yesterday. He is very happy with the way the healing is happening but he will need the sling until the end of September and he is off work until his next visit on 21st October.

Afternoon all,
Another day another dollar. Boy do my knees and feet hurt! The kids weren't too bad today. I've had better, but I've also had a lot worse.

Gail, I hope your D has a great time and comes home safely!

Vicki, sorry to hear about the blaas, I know what you mean though...Hope they lift soon. Good news about your hubby's surgery.

Now I've forgotten what everyone else said..

Hugs to you all!!

Heidi, I know! Of all the families to be involved with for the REST OF MY LIFE!

Greetings, Everyone!

Cyn, it's good that the 8 drivers share so that no one is stuck with the 2 a.m. shift! Enjoy your weekend away!

Suzy, it must be difficult to see that certain someone when you are out and about! I hope it doesn't happen often. We applaud your restraint in not running over him! So glad the ferals have improved! Suzy, will Alie audition for X Factor next year?

Rolanda, so glad the car registration has been found!

Suzanne, thinking of you!

Heidi, Lady v. 4 is a smart dog to decide that she likes being there! I hope Timmy's surgery goes well!

Mamacita, you have given excellent advice again! Enjoy your time - and the music - with your sister!

Theresa, congratulations on 30 days without a cigarette! Your concern about your daughter's surgery is understandable. Keeping fingers crossed that financial assistance can be found!

Tami, there MUST be something interesting about Medieval music, and your son is likely to discover it!

Gail, I hope your D has a wonderful trip!

Tami, thanks for the update on Tricia!

I apologize for not responding to more of you! I am falling asleep at the keyboard. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}, positive thoughts and prayers and to all! Good Night!

It's the end of the month and we have allowance left so I am checking out flash mobs!! Bliss!! Though so far the original is still the best..

I have a harsh dry cough, sore ribs and stomach muscles from coughing. Just to let you know why I have not been at the computer.

Morning all. Coffee is ready, help yourself.
June, I can put up a kettle of water if you prefer tea.
Julie, google "Gregorian chants" and listen for a few minutes and tell me what is interesting about them.
Vicky, sorry you are not feeling the best. Hope you get over the blah's soon. Even if you don't feel like posting, try to at least say hi so we know you are OK. You don't have to respond to anyone.
Heidi, glad that Lady has decided she likes your place. She is a smart dog. Good idea leaving the collar on.
Don't remember much else, sorry to whoever I didn't say hi to.

June! :( I had been wondering but was thinking MIL, not a really bad cold.. I hope you feel better soon

Tami, I just listened to Notre Dame Gregorian Chants and I thought it was beautiful!! Very calming and relaxing too... can do with more of that right now.

Suzy, they put me to sleep.

Hi everyone.
I returned to my doctor this morning to tell her I cannot get into this neurosurgeon in newcastle until Nov. 30th. I said to her I cannot continue like this for that long.
So now she has faxed my file to another neuro in sydney, this one a female.
Hopefully tomorrow I will know if I can see her or not.

June that does not sound too good.
Hope you get better soon.
Heidi, glad to see the dogs have settled in with you.

Viv, I hope the other neurosurgeon can see you sooner.

Bye all. Time to go torture the kiddies.

Tami, I love listening to Gregorian chants as Suzy said they are so relaxing which is why they probably put you to sleep.
June I hope you feel better soon and that your MIL doesn't catch the cold too.
Suzy how come you have allowance left at the end of the month?
Viv hope this neurosurgeon can fit you in as soon as possible.
Richard and I are going to see a Genesis tribute band tonight. I'm not sure how good they are but going by the number of un sold seats they are not very well known.

Now I know where I got this cold! June gave it to me...caring's sharing :(
I actually caught it from son's gf, who got it from him. What's in the family, stays in the family!
After a 4am start this morning I am currently running on empty, but still have to wait a couple more hours till hubby is ready to come off the machine. My eyes are stinging and are being kept open with toothpicks!
I just have not been able to face cleaning up the kitchen after last night's birthday/farewell feast, but hubby will be at his 'one day a month' work day tomorrow, so I will potter through it like a brave little trooper.
Don't get too close to the computer every one, stay well!

I am flying over to Adelaide on Saturday, there in the morning (early) and back that night (late). Going over for a high school reunion, the school no longer exists so it will be lovely to see it happen...all started due to a comment on FB!

Brenda, I don't know why we have allowance left, though I suspect it was pointing out to hubby that his google mapping probably was the reason I ran out of allowance in the middle of preparing for lessons last month... and nagging Alie about downloading so much music. I didn't change what I did because I always rationed myself anyway.

I took a pill to make me sleep. It worked for one hour and I woke up with more coughing. Know how you feel Gail! Have a good trip to Adelaide.
Sharon's funeral made some of her school friends realise they should get together and see something of one another.

Hope you get some more sleep June, I am about to give it a go now too.

Yes, you are so right, life is precious, moments fleeting.

Hope you both get some good healing sleep June and Gail.

Good Maen everyone!
I want to thank those of you with positive thoughts for Darrell & I...Not the first time we've had a bump in the road. One of my friends is worried we're going to get divorced!!!! NO WAY!! We love each other VERY much, AND as Tami knows, we are both STUBBORN!!! We are able to talk things thru.
Love & Hugs for all those in need with EXTRAS!!! (always)

Morning all. June and Gail, hope you are feeling better soon.

Woke up this morning with a splitting headache and an aching back. At least I have only 14 days to go until my epidural.

I hope everybody here feels better soon. There's something going around in Sudokuland, it seems.

Good mAen everyone!
Heidi: 2 weeks till the epidural??!? Yikes, that's a long time to be in pain...Is the pain manageable or what??? Hope you are feeling better sooner (rather than later). Greetings to
Theresa, June, Gail, TTT, Brenda, Suzy, Viv, Victoria, Julie & anyone else!! Still HOT here (upper 90's). Supposed to cool off starting tomorrow (low 80's). Can't wait to open my windows...Take care all, TTFN

Good morning my friends.
Love and Hugs to you all.

Morning everyone.
Husband left this morning at 7am for a few days away with mates. Returning Sunday.There is a god after all.
Just wish I was not in so much pain but will be very very nice without him underfoot.

A lovely day here for the first day of Spring.

Spring is sprung.
The grass is riz.
I wonder where the birdies is?
The bird is on the wing.
Now isn’t that absurd?
I always thought the wing was on the bird!

Spring has sprung, the buds all break
Spring has sprung and nature wakes

Spring has sprung, winter’s gone
Now we sing our happy song
Tra-la, la-la, la-la, lay
Sweep the old dead leaves away

Attributed to Spike Milligan

Good Morning everyone. I think I've discovered the reason for my blahs.

Thanks for that poem Viv, I was thinking about it earlier but couldn't get past "The bird is on the wing" although I knew there was a line about the "wing is on the bird".
I remember my father reciting it when I was much younger.

I think we all have a case of the blahs Vicki, hopefully Spring can put a spring in our step! Hope your blahs clear up soon.

I'b all bwocked up :(

MOrning...
Yep can relate to the Blahh's
I am having a Blahh week..
Today, am off to the YWCA this morning to help with the 'stuff for the Fundraising Morning Tea' on Saturday.
Fundraising is for the YWCA Encore Program (after breast cancer gentle exercise program)
As well as being on the Committee, I will on the Door collecting the $$, checking tickets etc etc etc..

Gail enjoy your School Reunion.
Hugs to all and Sundry ♥
Suzanne ♥
Viv ♥
Heidi ♥

It didn't surprise me that the poem is credited to Spike Milligan. The man was a true genius.

Off to bed. Timmy has to be at the Vet Clinic when they open. Snip, snip.

Greetings, All!

Vicki, so sorry the blahs have set in. I hope they pass quickly, as they're just no fun! So glad hubby's shoulder is healing well! Does he have physical therapy while he is away from work?

Suzy, I'm glad you're getting some work, but too bad it's mostly the ferals! I hope your feet and knees are better!

June, I hope you are soon better! That cough sounds miserable! Gentle {{{HUGS}}}!

Tami, I grew up singing Gregorian chants in choir. Yes, some can be rather sad/deadly/boring, but I agree with Suzy; some are rather mystic, other-worldly, calming, and one might even say beautiful. Many centuries separate us from them, so they can be difficult to listen to. At least he had the benefit of the internet to gather information and samples.

Viv, I'm so glad your doctor listened to you and decided to try another neurosurgeon. I hope you have better luck getting an appointment!

Gail, sorry I can't help with the k word naelc-pu! Have fun in Adelaide at your school reunion! (Sadly, my high school no longer exists either. The building remains, but schools have gone to a regional system as populations dwindle.) Hopefully you slept well when you finally got to bed!

June, I'm so sorry the pill didn't help you sleep. I hope the second time was the charm!

Suzanne, it's good to hear that you and Darrell are both stubborn and not about to head to divorce court. Nevertheless, we're thinking of you and hoping for some excellent communication and smoothing of life's little bumps!

Heidi, I hope the 2 weeks go by quickly and you begin to feel a bit better in the meantime!

Hello, Broni! I hope all is well!

Viv, enjoy the quiet of the house while hubby is away. I had never seen the complete poem about "Spring is sprung" before. Quite clever!

June and Gail, I hope you soon feel much better! Not a good time to get a cold!

Viv and Heidi, I hope you each soon get some relief from your back troubles!

{{{{{HUGS}}}}}, , positive thoughts and prayers for all!

Hubby spent part of the day today on a project for our woodturning club. Tomorrow we will both be involved. Next week we have 2 meetings, and the following week we have another 2. (Guess we'll be keeping out of trouble for a while.)

Good night, everyone!

I hope Timmy's surgery goes well tomorrow, Heidi!

Quiet time in Sudokuland and here at my place.
Ethan off to do his Traffic Offenders Program for the next hour and a half.
Cooking chicken schnitzels for tea and will pop his in the microwave for when he gets back.
Just enjoying a nice port and lemonade.
So nice without hubby about.

I rang the neurosurgeons office.
Secretary says she has not been in yet so wont be until tomorrow or Monday she will look at your file.
