Moose Musings

11:42pm: Which is why I didn't bother updating yesterday, and I don't really have much to report about today either.

I did go to church as Mum and Dad need me to do the Powerpoint, but aside from that I lay around all day and felt bummed because I won't be able to go to archery tomorrow. :O( Apart from anything else, I think it's raining, and as previously discussed, even without the cold I'm not sure how I'd do archery in the rain.

It was a good thing I went to church though because it meant that I finally got my package of Pusheen clothes! They're adorable! Although I have a slight problem with the dress, which looks fabulous, except the way it's cut kind of means I can't wear a bra or at least not the usual kind of bra I'd wear, maybe a strapless one would work? I kinda need to wear a bra because I'm not lacking in the boob department. I also might need to have it altered a bit, because the armholes gap a bit. The top fits great though! And I can't wait to do stuff with the scarf :O) I kinda wish I bought other stuff, since everything was half price, but I don't think there was much more I could have purchased. The swim suit was sadly a bikini, which I don't wear because of ample boobage. There was a skirt though...

Anywho, it's getting late and even though I'm not going to archery, considering the fact I'm unwell I should get all the sleep I can, especially since I need to clean my apartment tomorrow because Mum will drop by on Monday to drop off my serve of the roast dinner she, Dad and my little bro are having tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll be able to go to work on Monday, my sore throat has at least subsided, although now I have a cough, which sucks.

On that note though, I shall be off, send me healthy thoughts!

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!

11:07pm: Never fear, dear readers, I'm still alive, although I continue to be internetless, which let me tell you is a total downer.

In regards to my title, I'm watching a replay of the Closing Ceremony and it's getting close to the part where Japan does is presentation in preparation for when they hold the Games next. I saw some of it move this morning because Mrs S's husband was watching it, and I heard about it on the news as well, basically it was totally epic, so I wanna see!

Actually, if I had the funds and the bravery, I could go to the Toyko Olympics, my passport arrived today! I'm slightly confused as I could have sworn the email I got said I'd have to sign for it, but it seems that just handed it to the landlords' wife here. Bit weird that.

Anyway I'm feeling much better now, a week and one day after the cold decided to kick my ass although I am left with a rather chesty cough. Mrs S thinks I should get it checked by a doctor, but I dunno. I do have to go near a Bulk Billing medical centre tomorrow, so I guess I could pop by and see how long the wait will be.

Anywho, I better wrap this up as I'm already in danger of falling into bad sleeping habits and that's no good.

So now I say goodnight!

8:50pm: Yep, definitely a cold...fuuuuck and I've run out of tissues, which considering that my nose is still stuffy as Hell and running a bit - despite the taking of some Clarytne that's supposed to both clear the sinuses and dry up the nasal area. Shiiiit.

This morning almost turned out to be a disaster though! Not bothering to check which bus I was going to catch last night before going to bed was a damn stupid idea, because if I had I'd have realised getting up at 8am would be too late. But I didn't and when I woke up this morning and checked...well, the last buses I could catch to get to Chatswood in time was to leave in about 10 minutes. I thought the peak hour would last longer than that - i.e the buses would come every 10 or 15 minutes, but nope. So once I missed the 8:17 one I was fucked.

I ended up calling Mum, thinking maybe I could get the 9:17 bus and get to the parentals in time to borrow Dad's car and drive to Chatswood before 10:O0am. Mum as you can imagine was not happy with me at all! In fact it looked like she was going to have to come and pick me up just so I could get there in time, but I didn't want her to do that, since she's still fighting the cold too. In the end I checked the time table for the other bus that goes from about a 10 minute walk away, and there was one coming sooner and I figured that would get me to Neutral Bay at a decent time...although double checking the time table it didn't seem like it, so I was going to ask Mum if she'd be at work in Mosman so I could take her car, but in the end the bus to Chatswood would arrive at Dee Why a few minutes after the bus I was on, and would get to where I needed to go by 9:59am so I caught that one instead.

It was pretty touch and go, because buses usually aren't right on time, but I got to the interview about a minute late and I think it went OK, because I didn't feel that awful yet. However, it's going to be about 8 weeks until I know if I'm getting the job or not, do'h.

I went back to the parentals because there were a few things to pick up from there, including my lotto ticket, Mum dropped me off near my newsagency where I got it checked and I won some money, whoo!

But yeah...the day has kind of gone downhill since I got home in terms of health, also I think it's almost that time of the month and it's making me feel really icky with abdominal pains. Uuuugh I don't need this. Especially because tomorrow I'm supposed to go to the apartment to let the metre changing man in and conduct some inspections with potential tenants. I can only pray that I will feel well enough in the morning - as I often do with a cold - and be able to get to Newtown. If I feel this bad though...oh man, I don't know what to do. I'm pretty sure tomorrow is one of the days Mum has to at work and she won't want to cover for me anyway.

Uuuugh. Man...looking around for ways to relieve my symptoms makes me think one may have got more colds as a kid, but they certainly made you feel less crappy. And the abdominal discomfort doesn't help, but I'm leery of taking something for it because of the Clarntyne, I'm worried about drug interactions.

I guess I'll just have to go to bed early and hope for the best.

Pray for Moose!

Goodnight all!

9:27pm: So I'm sick, and I feel like complete and utter crap.

Only up side, the boss was able to find a replacement for me today so I didn't have to go to work. Also I didn't have to do the power point at church either.

The downside, everything else including my aching muscles. Owww.

Can't even be bothered to put up the Sims moodlets on this entry.

Life sucks.

10:36pm: Still here at the parentals due to malaise, which is weird because when I woke up this morning I felt pretty good, in fact I was all ready to head back home but I feel back to sleep and when I woke up I felt a lot less well and so I remain.

My father reminded me when he got home that I haven't been using my time very constructively, for example by working on my assignment, problem is that subject is so damn boring that working on it with a stuffed nose and just general malaise makes it next to impossible to concentrate on!

In other news, I'm concerned about my foot, a week ago I had that issue with the high heeled boots I wore, since then my left foot has cleared up just fine, but apparently sticking special blister bandaids on them was a bad idea in the case of my right foot. There's something weird going on there, I think I might have got athlete's foot or something...shit, nasty.

Now, I've got to decide what to do re:volunteering tomorrow...to go or not to go, I had the weirdest sense today that lying around the whole time was perhaps making me feel worse, but I don't know. Any advice from you my fellow friends?

Not much else to report, RPGage has also fallen by the wayside which is very sad, but the muddle headed thing pops up yet again.

And that's all I have to say for now.

Goodnight all!

1:59pm: So here I am at work. The bosses called me yesterday and said the absolutely, postively had to have me in today so I came.

I feel grosssssss!

First of all my guts, they are seriously killing me, I don't know what this is all about but is sucks...a lot. I'm terrible with stomachaches as you all well know.

Secondly, the tiredness, oh man the tiredness! I so need to go home and sleeeep!

And finally my nose, I think I've got a cold sore right underneath my right nostril, this is as uncomfortable as it sounds and damn gross besides.

To reinterate, I hate viruses, viruses are the devil, nothing has ever been improved or averted due to a virus (if this is incorrect, please advise).

Pray for Moose.

ETA 2:21pm: My left ear is hurting...in a you've-got-an-earache kind of way. I. Am. Not. Happy!!!

1:10pm: So I was watching Diagnosis Murder this morning and I saw this being advertised on one of those infomercial things. The first thing I thought on seeing it was BTTF II Shout-Out! LOL, we won't get the flying cars or the magically growing pizzas or the upside down back braces, but boy howdy we're gonna have the hydroponic-grows-in-your-kitchen-comes-down-from-the-ceiling pod.

Anywho, why am I updating about that? Because I feel like it, and I would also like to complain further about this cold. It's driving my nuts! The worst bit right now is the whole sore nose part, if I blow it it hurts, but if I don't blow it, it's just gross. I've tried using Vaseline on it, but the effects are temporary at best.

Still haven't gone to the doctor's since I can't be bothered, also I just spoke to my boss who wasn't mad about me taking a sick day, so I'm not sure if I need a doctor's certificate after all. Plus if I do go it means another trip to Medicare, which is hard to get to as it is.

In other news, I'm slightly concerned about not being able to pay my rates on time, I've paid the Special Levy (which is money we're using to take the pain-in-the-ass Resident Manager to court because he won't piss off), but the rest of it is due on Tuesday. But I won't have enough money in my account until Monday and the BPay thing says that it may take a day or two to get to the biller.

Basically the problem is, you lose the discount if you pay after the due date and get interest penalised on top of that. So yeah... Not much I can do about it I guess, I should have planned my budget better :O( I could call them and say I'll be paying on Monday, so don't charge me, but eh...

Well shit, my eyes feel weird, don't tell me, God, that I'm getting conjunctivitis on top of everything else. If so, I'm gonna be really really pissed.

Yeah soo...I'm a barrel of entertainment today, I also want to know why I can write pointless stuff in my LJ, but not on my fanfic. I guess that would be too convenient. Hmpf!

Damn, I'm thirsty despite sucking down water like it's going out of style...I am not a happy camper.

Well, I won't bore you any longer with my tirades I suppose, that's not what you come online for. :OP

I hope the rest of you are having good days!

Ta-ta for now.

8:29pm: So tired...so very, very, very tired.

I hae a terrible feeling that this cold may keep me from work tomorrow, which is not cool...

I hate cold's, I really, really hate them and I wish they would find a vaccine to cure them, because this is total BS.

( Memes )

Well, on the plus side, there was MUm's lasagne had for dinner tonight, that was good eating.

Screw this, I'm going to bed.

Pray for Moose.
