G'day, people. My, you are all so early this morning!
Sharon/Wiped, I'm glad you got to the club yesterday.You sure did a lot of walking yesterday, that has to count for something.
Smallworld, I hope the neuropsychologist testing comes up with some useful findings for M.
Linda, dinner sounds delicious. We've got pork available at the moment, fairly cheap. I'll have to check out that recipe. There's also a delicious-looking pork recipe (Nigella Lawson) on our TV tomorrow night, I think I'll check that one out, too - pork chops in a creamy mustard sauce.
Sharon/LDM, I love farmers markets. Unfortunately, there aren't any near where we live.
WFEN, I hope the dental stuff goes OK.
Adrianne, sounds like a very busy day to me. Here's hoping you have a better day.
I had an interesting day today. First Lucky the budgie - he was bleeding again from a wound on his chest. He's had a difficult time since we got him - a damaged beak, a broken bleeding claw, a bleeding chest - lots of little things mounting up, so I made an appointment with the vet.
Then mid-morning I went to a friend's house for a Nutrimetics spa session - it was Warrior Mums together, just three of us plus consultant, all enjoying a bit of pampering. Friend then had to head off for hospital - she's having a PET scan in the morning to look for a tumour that the blood tests indicate is definitely there.
Then a dash home (I'd left difficult child 3 to continue with schoolwork alone) and a late lunch before making a lot of phone calls needed to organise things.
Then grab the shopping list, take difficult child 3 plus budgie "to the mainland" for his drama class. We got there early enough to get some meat from the butcher, I dropped him at Drama and went back to the supermarket for the groceries, then back to sit with the other Warrior Mums outside drama. We were talking about speech pathology, and difficult child 3's recent assessment. Looks like our speech pathologist is about to get a lot of new referrals!
Then a quick trip to grab a burger for difficult child 3, then the vet trip for Lucky.
The outcome of the vet trip - Lucky has to rest a bit, try not to fly, take antibiotics (in his water dish) and come back in a week or so to get his beak trimmed and other wing clipped.
We finally got home, cooked a late dinner and difficult child 3 has just gone to bed, very shivery and achey. No fever, but I suspect it's on the way.
Lucky is now settled back in his special place in his cage in the laundry, being lulled by the sound of all the washing I have to do tonight.
easy child 2/difficult child 2 says we should change Lucky's name to Errol, because the reason he keeps injuring himself is because although he can fly, he's very bad at landing.
At least we found one thing - Lucky travels well. It's good to know. To live with us, you need to be a good traveller!
Enjoy your Wednesday, everyone.
Marg
