Well Jacob is better, but not before he got the most dreadful gastro, couldn’t even hold down water, he has his dad’s metabolism and lost a lot of weight in a 24 hour period, hehe, while I was putting some on. To be expected I suppose when you resort to the drastic measures I did this comp. Well it’s all a learning curve isn’t it.

Well I have been back at the gym this week and am a bit sore at present. All good though.

I got to work a couple of days this week which was great because I hadn’t been able to at all the week before due to Jacob. Next week I’ve booked to work the four days leading up to me going to spend a week with my gran and family in S.A.

While in SA I will attempt to catch up on the tech classes I have missed, got a nutrition assignment, some programs to write and a few other things. At least it seems they will allow me to catch up rather than re-do all the subjects next year, well as long as I meet the requirements.

Once Thursday night tech is finished I’m going back to sewing classes, I love sewing but neglect it dreadfully when ever life gets busy, good how it is something you can just pick up again when ever.

My main goal after the ACT’s has been to have a week off and then re-establish where I am at and go from there. Well I have done that and although I have goals I striving to achieve at present and in the near and distant future, I am yet to put them in writing and give them the focus they require and deserve. I will give this some more thought once in Adelaide as well. I have had a lot to get out of the way this week and actually submitted my last ever university assignment I have to do, thank bloody god!!! So as long as I pass, I have finished my degree!!!!!!!!! It hasn’t really hit me yet, and don’t get me wrong but I’m not going to my graduation, for me it is over rated, very expensive, boring and too long and drawn out. Also I find sitting for hours while waiting for ones name to be called out to walk on and off stage overrated.

I go to my kids’ graduations however that is different. Some of my uni mates think I’m daft, however I think my time is better spent with family or doing something constructive, each to their own though.
