[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 318732, member: 1991"] G'day, folks. Sharon/WO, with the conference schedule as you describe, I think you really are going to need the workout! Rabbit, sounds like difficult child 1 probably qualifies for the swine flu as a priority, because of his health. I got offered it because of my medical history, but I've refused it. Immunisations and I don't get along. Sharon/LDM, I hope you survive without power outges. here in Australia we have some types of trees which are notorious for droppping branches (or whole trees) even when they look perfectly OK. They're called "widowmakers". Running late tonight and desperately needing sleep. Today - busy. First - pain specialist. Second - neurologist. Pain levels - ghastly. I was popping pills ta the neuro, talking about various management tactics. Got to go back in three weeks. I think he's redecorating his office. Either that, or paying for his kids' teeth to be fixed. In between I dropped in on easy child 2/difficult child 2, arriving just as her phone rang - the settlement it looked like we were arriving at, was falling through. We talked to the conciliator, asked for more time to make our own enquiries and I headed off to the specialist's. Lunchtime - got back from the doctor. Time to call the lawyer, the government offices, the industrial relations people and then the conciliator again. Meanwhile some paperwork was coming through which required easy child 2/difficult child 2 to get calculating. That kept her busy for a couple of hours while I catnapped and waited for my pain levels to ease off enough to get home. Also waiting for phone calls. meanwhile, car parked in heatwave summery heat. Finally left late afternoon, just as black storm clouds gathering. Drove home anticipating cooling storm - nada. A few drops of water, that's all. everything haze, then noticed that western sun looked very orange - smoke! I realised I was smelling smoke through the closed windows of the car. Closer to home I could see it - finally I worked out, it was the neighbouring village, and quite big. I had to go to the pharmacy in the village, I asked about the fire. It turned out to be a scheduled backburn (why the H do it on a heatwave day, with strong wind change forecast? I think I need to make some calls tomorrow). We talked about how bad it looked, suspect the backburn got away from them. Tonight - husband came home running a fever and very unwell. Then the phone rang - difficult child 3's interview will be on TV on Sunday night. They wanted more photos so husband scanned some and I've been busy sending them at high res. Very late to bed now as a result - and looking like I'll have husband home sick tomorrow, with the oven repairman coming and my hairdresser's appointment somewhere in the middle of it. Somewhere in there I need to call the school over a number of things and also go back over easy child 2/difficult child 2's adding up. Oh well... Enjoy your Thursday (it WAS Thursday we just had, wasn't it?) Marg [/QUOTE]
