Hello Bloggerland.

Figured in the midst of yet another 30 day challenge, perhaps a non-30 day post would be ok every now and then?

Today I am in quite a crabby mood.  Why?  Because my body is honestly quite pissing me off.  After arriving down under, I got a cold.. probably just a travelers cold, but I still felt miserable.  Following that was a nasty sunburn which kept me tender for a while.  Next?  Yes..there is a next... a UTI.  I know all women who have ever experienced this just cringed a little.  Luckily being a nurse I had antibiotics on hand that I was smart enough to bring from the states with me.  Which brings me to today.  I apparently have thrush in my mouth from the antibiotics. I haven't been able to do more than a bite or two of food in the past three days.  Which means April is quite hungry.  I can't speak very clearly, so it's easier to just be silent than anything else.  (which I'm sure Wayne has no objection to...haha).  Just stopped by the drug store, and luckily the pharmacist agreed what had happened and gave me some medication that I need.  And I was shocked at what he gave me...because it's only available by prescription in the states... so to avoid going to a doctor is a HUGE bonus.  NOW... to just hope this resolves the last bump in the road and I can start feeling "normal".  Well, as normal as *I* ever am.

I have been trying to actually take it easy and take care of myself and let things wait.  I think I'm doing ok with it.  Although there are a million and a half other things I'd rather be doing right now and taking care of.  But I guess I'll give this whole chill thing a chance.

It's quite warm here.  Reaching about 98-100F each day.  The nights aren't getting too cool either and from what "Sue" on the news reports, it's only gonna get worse.  I really don't like "Sue".  I don't like her tone when she discusses a "warm up".  I don't trust her, I think she's sneaky.  Just as a side note, in case you were wondering. lol

I'm still doing pretty well at driving on the wrong side of the road.  Starting to feel more natural.  And since I've been here for almost 3 weeks now, I would hope that I'm on the right track as far as progress goes.  Also starting to find my away around.  Granted, I'm in a suburb of a HUGE city, so I'm taking it easy by just adjusting to learning just a couple of suburbs and areas.  Being in the southern hemisphere, your sense of direction is shot.  Learning points of interest and distinguishing landmarks (and roads..lol) are your only option.  Can't go by the "I think it's that direction".  Nope..that'll land ya...well, far from where you want to be.

Well what do you know, Dr. Oz is coming on.  A tv talk show.  A show I typically hate.  But right now it's this, Murder She Wrote, or the news in like 5 different languages.  Looks to be interesting.. he's starting the show off with a game "Erection: Fact or Fiction".  No kidding.

I'll be back later to do the 30 day update... if I remember.  I'll leave on this note for now; don't expect others to do what you yourself are not willing to do..or not do.

Tootles!
