G'day, people.
A busy day today. I had an awards presentation to go to this morning, for local schoolchildren. A writing group I belong to (from a distance lately) has run a writing competition for local kids in the last couple of years and I've been one of the three judges each time. We don't get paid for it, but we did get a big bouquet of flowers, which was lovely. I decided to milk the opportunity to dress up and have fun.
After all the speeches, photos etc, we all went to have lunch together. It was relaxing, fun, energetic and a great time networking a lot of writing tasks. I then headed back home just in time to change back into a mouse and go have my sports medicine massage on all my sore bits. They're all still sore, I have to ring her tomorrow after I see the rheumatologist and discuss some options. I'm seeing the GP on Wednesday afternoon, based on what we find tomorrow I could be asking for a new referral from the GP.
I've got a meeting at difficult child 3's school in the city, very early Wednesday morning. We'll have to leave horribly early to get there on time, difficult child 3 will have to come too. Before the meeting I have a mountain of paperwork to sift through. I'm posting this early, so I can get to bed with the papers and have some work done.
difficult child 3 isn't well at the moment, we're not sure what is wrong. He was vomiting the other day (last week, Tuesday, I think) and it hit him right out of the blue, no warning. And again today - he went for a walk then on the way home was hit by nausea and vomiting. He's skipped dinner, is just lying on his bed. If it follows the same pattern as last week, he'll be fine by morning. It's really bizarre. I'm glad he's seeing the doctor too, on Wednesday.
First day of summer for us, and it was quite hot at times. Later in the day we had our usual mid-afternoon summer storm. Huge anvil-shaped clouds loomed up from the south, like blackberry souffles. Not much rain fell though. Sometimes we get a brief drenching, but then as the sun comes out again everything gets steamy and you feel even worse, like in a sauna. I wish I wasn't dashing about here & there - I could go sit on the beach and soak up some sun. At this rate I won't get a chance to do this until Thursday afternoon. Friday is forecast to be a real scorcher, but with summer storms again.
Enjoy your Monday, everyone.
