9:50pm: I'm still alive, I've just been laid low by a cold the last few days. It all started on Saturday when I woke up with a slightly sore throat and a bit sniffling, bad enough that I didn't go ice skating - and thus didn't get my beanie (apparently it's still waiting at Macquarie for me, but I need to get it sooner rather than later!).
By the time I woke up on Sunday I felt terrible and had to make the call to the library saying I wouldn't be able to come in. I had to leave a message actually so I was worried they wouldn't get the message, but fortunately I got an SMS back confirming it.
So I spent most of the day in bed, except for when I got up and drove over to Mum and Dad's house because I didn't feel like being by myself when I felt so gross. Although it was a bit of a gamble so to speak because though I'd also sent an SMS to Mrs S asking if it was possible for the other carer to fill in for me on Monday I hadn't heard back yet and I wasn't sure I'd be able to drive even the small distance. Fortunately, that worked out too!
As it happened I couldn't stay in bed all day Monday because the internet still wasn't working properly over at Newtown so in a last ditch effort to solve it Dad and I drove over there with my laptop and spare router that I bought before I realised I didn't actually have a phone line at my Granny Flat. The modem that was all ready over there was apparently working again after one of the tenant's fixed the cable, but of course, I'd instructed Dad to reset it so all the connection info was wiped off! I decided to change over the modems anyway though, since the one there was old and didn't make it easy to figure out the name and password for it.
Anyway, I was able to sort everything out, hooray! Although I did discover something's happened to my Box Thing, namely, it's padlocks have disappeared! WTF?! There was also a box not inside it when Dad and I arrived. To be honest I'm surprised said box hadn't been thrown out you're not supposed to leave things in the car park, I put it back in the Box, but the thing is still unlocked! Hopefully, no-one breaks in...at least I don't have any comics for them to steal hmpf!
I stayed over at Mum and Dad's last night as well, which Dad approved of since there's central heating here so I don't have to worry about temperature changes. Which M thought was a good idea as well when I called up to cancel (regrettably) today's Canasta game.
Which brings us today, to my great relief, the sore throat and congested nasal passage portion of the cold seems to have ended - cross fingers!!! - although I've got a bit of a cough and my ears are blocked, boo. However, I'm well enough to go to work at Mrs S's tomorrow, and considering I have to get there a bit earlier than normal I better wrap this up and get my butt to bed.
And on a final note, the land lord finally fixed the tap...except...he's installed a completely different tap, so now I have two mismatched ones! LOL. It looks quite unattractive, but hey at least there's no dripping! I know this because I have popped back to the Granny Flat twice in these last few days, on Monday to get the router and today to get my work clothes. The kitchen looks good if I do say so myself. :O)
Right, better be off now. I hope all my USA pals enjoyed the Solar eclipse (the cosmic ballet goes on :OP).
Goodnight all!
