Feeling quite weak and foggy.
Didn’t do well with hydrating today – less than a litre.

Day 8 of diarrhoea – I’m dehydrated, foggy-headed and exhausted.

Went for a run to town to grocery shop and collect my Formulite bars parcel from the post office, plus my blankie and MKN book.

Apparently a pinched nerve.
Glad its not a DVT!

Woke up in a lot less pain.
Heading away to Palm Cove in the bus for two nights.

A lovely gentle day.
Went out for dinner to our favourite pizza restaurant.
Monday – back home from being away for two nights.
Did a bit of shopping in the city before we stopped off on the way home to collect the dogs from the kennels.
Both pretty tired, so we all (including the animals) had an early night.
Tuesday – the day for the usual Monday chores – being that we weren’t here on Monday.
Laundry, cooking the animals food for the week, housekeeping and cleaning.
Wednesday – garden guy came today and mowed, snipped and poisoned as I didn’t get to it due to being away.
Its great to have him to fall back on instead of getting stressed about all the jobs I can’t get done!

Grocery shopped and went to Bunnings.
Did some canning – turkey mince.
Sewed a curtain for the bus.

Internet provider is going to send a tech next week, as it may be an issue with the non box.
I ended up vomiting up the land and rice as it just didn’t agree with my tummy and was waaaay too heavy.
Saturday – the rain has come back in, so it’s cold and wet.
did laundry, wrote a blog post for another blog.

Read.
Sunday- into bunnings to get some fencing supplies.
Another rainy day.
We ended up taking the bus out to the Lake and my Wife napped while I read for a few hours.
