The weather… today.

Today is that one day a year when the temperature is forecast to top 30, and it isn’t supposed to rain.

Back to 15 and pissing down tomorrow.

Today I am grateful for my Mum. I woke up at 0430 this morning feeling less than ordinary. I was due to take the kids to their soccer games (including managing Seth’s soccer team) and thought I would do a RAT before we left to make sure I was all good. Turns out Rona’s come for a visit . I messaged Mum to let her know that the kids wouldn’t be playing soccer today (as she’d planned to come and watch them). Next minute she’s been grocery shopping as well as bought more RATs and got me some Panadol and dropped it all off to us. I would have been buggered without her as Brett is at work 4 hours away till Thursday.

Happy Birthday to your Mum for tomorrow!!!

So far it’s been incredibly sore throat, fatigue, dry cough, body aches and hot flushes. Nothing serious thankfully as I still have to parent…

Oh Jillsy,
I hope you are back on your feet soon.
Having someone shop, drop in food, is a huge help and blessing.
6 odd weeks ago, it dropped me, Head aches, muscle pain, and cough, still suffer coughing fits, yet Fysh, Brooke, Monique & her partner, all they got was a cold/mild flu symptoms.
I was down for 10 days, I still get fatigued easily.
3 days before I tested positive, I attended a RFD Driver Training caurse,  I notified our captain, who passed that information on to area command(all members in the Clarence Valley were notified), thankfully no one else was infected who I shared a truck with or who attended the class room with.
8 days after notifying my Brigrade, I Received a phone from our Area Commander thanking me for notifying my Captain. He mentioned how many members were out of action due to being positive to covid, some small Brigrades  did not have members who could attend incidents.
Having a support network, Priceless.
Covid effects everybody differently.
Take care Jillsy.

That's a bugger but don't underestimate what it can do to you. Monitor your heart rate for a pattern and then you can tell if it's had it's way with your body.  ;)

Jeez!

Jillsy, sorry to hear you're crook, & fingers crossed that you get over it quickly. It's a fair way out still, so hopefully won't stuff up the NM for you.

Rags, very sorry about your brother :'(

But on the lighter side, Happy Birthday to Mum, Pottsy ;D  :cheers:

Grateful to our firemen and women and the police. Our daughter had a house fire late this afternoon, thankfully she, the grandkids and her partner are all ok. Quick response time mitigated the damage to the kitchen, dining and lounge room. Predominantly smoke damage, 10 to 20ks worth.
Cooking up a concoction she uses in her massage business and it went south in a fireball.
As the three yr old said, mummy was being chased by a big yellow snake! Daughter said the emergency services were fantastic with the kids, both being given a teddy bear by the fireys.
They’re staying with her in laws and we are baby sitting the dog.

It appears the only one who wasn’t fazed by it was the dog, just sat there looking at it go up, at twelve years old she’s pretty unfazed by most things!
