I am not at work today, I have had horrible stomach pains for the last few days, and this morning I woke up all dizzy and then I was sick. I called my brother and told him to pass the word around work that I won’t be in, I am really not happy about being sick again. And I am so BORED with the Olympics and there is NOTHING else on TV!

We went to see my friend Katie last night, she has just gotten out of hospital after having an operation on her heart, and numerous blood transfusions. The poor thing, she is the one who got married recently to an English guy, and he is working in Sydney at the moment for 6 weeks at a time so she has been all alone. I promised we will come to see her every week until she goes back to work, to keep her company. She cannot go back to work for at least a month, and possibly might have to stay home until Christmas as her work has had an outbreak of meningacoccal (no idea how you spell that, will be interesting to see if the spell check knows what I am trying to write) recently and they are worried that it could be fatal for someone in her current condition.

We took her some flowers and chocolates and sat around talking about absolutely nothing for a few hours, it was fun. Mark changed some blown light globes for her as she has to climb on tables etc to reach the fittings,a nd her husband has told her in no uncertain terms that she is not to be doing that at the moment!

I can’t remember the last time I updated, did I mention he was working with us now too? Bro needed another hand on deck for night shift, so he got the gig. They are working day shift at the moment though, so I see them quite a bit. It isn’t TOO awkward, we do our best.

Mark’s car is STILL in being fixed, been almost 3 weeks now, and it doesn’t look like we will get it back anytime soon.

Our mortgage papers have arrived at the solicitor, we are going to see him on Tuesday to sign them all.

I am so tired. My stomach hurts. Bah. I hate being sick, blah blah, whinge whinge etc.

Going to star aimlessly into the cupboard and wish it held something I can eat.

PS Spell check thinks it should be either Monongahela or mononuclear, er no.
