[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 195173, member: 1991"] G'day, folks. Dreamer, I'm glad things are picking up for you. We've been without water for a week, when we were hit by really bad fires. Our house was fine but it was the middle of summer and we had no water at all for over a week. We had filled the bathtub, so we dipped into that to sponge ourselves down, and to also give us drinking water. We now have a rainwater tank in case that ever happens again. We also always have reserves of drinking water, in various bottles and flagons. We tend to run out of water most summer weekends. It's an unusual thing for Sydney - it's just the local water supply in our tiny village that's the problem, when the tourists come in and put too high a demand on things. Sharon/WO, I hope you can get your sleep debt paid off soon. One good night sometimes isn't enough. Good luck with getting to the club. We've had a big day today. difficult child 3 & I went in to the city with husband today. He drove us to his work so he could load a couple of heavy items into the car, then I drove difficult child 3 to his school for a special study day. It was based on the Olympics and was a fun way to deal with the various subjects - Science was set up like drug testing, with pH testing of various samples of "urine" - actually water dosed with various acids or bases. History was covering Berlin 1936, Technology was dealing with Wii Olympics and Wii Sports, Geography was dealing with various locations in China and Visual Arts dealt with Chinese artists. After it was done the school put a barbecue on for the kids. We left about 2 pm and I got back to my doctor just in time for my 3 pm appointment - only to find she had to leave for a house call. So we did the shopping then got back to the doctor just as she returned. She is puzzled by my condition but doesn't think it's polymyalgia rheumatica like the neurologist thinks but has referred me to a rheumatologist to be sure. We got out of there with just enough time to spare to get difficult child 3 to drama class. And it turns out hardly anyone will be there next week - they're all going to the snow for the week (a very special deal for kids with disabilities and their families). We are also invited, but I would have to cancel three doctors appointments (much as I'd like to). Plus, with difficult child 3's schoolwork etc, it would be just too awkward. They do it every year, so maybe next year? I'm very tired, my hands especially are clumsy tonight. I wish the doctor wasn't so cautious, but I guess that's better than rushing in up the wrong path. Tomorrow is my cooking and cleaning day. I've also got a bit of lazy gardening to do - putting in some small plants I bought today. I am looking forward to a rest, when I can get it. Enjoy your Wednesday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
