I got off the computer at 8.50am. Plenty of time to go pee, brush my teeth, slip into a pair of shoes - and yeah, better take a Sudafed.
How that took me 10 minutes is anyone's guess.
So we took the ugly old Perth Rewind Ute instead. Well at least it's a Toyota.
Not really sure Dave is supposed to be using it other than going to work, but Paul appreciates that he is currently without a car of his own. (Well the Ford Festiva is still Dave's, but he's given Arthur unlimited use of it.)
So today is the 82nd Birthday of Jazz singer extraordinaire, Morgana King, and the 51st of used to be cute R&B/soul singer, El DeBarge. Sounds a lot like Michael Jackson did, but at least he uses his own material. (Glad Lucy can't see this, lol!)
So I'm using an El usepic today because Morgana has the default, after all.
Nice of Perth to have a public holiday today in their honour.
Still can't budge this cold. Not coughing my heart out anymore, but nose is still running.
On the subject of sick : ninemsn poll - should the courts be able to order people to have operations? Yes, this is in the wake of a little JW girl having to have a blood transfusion : but the question was not "Should the courts be able to over-ride parents in the case of minors being raised in a cult?" So those who said YES actually voted for the across the board rights of the court to interfere in people's lives and choices.
I feared something like this would happen after the Penny Dingle case.
Well I know I would not want to have Chemo in order to prolong my days; especially since it meant I'd be down on my knees with my head hanging over the toilet bowl for most of those days.
And then there was my friend, Ginny. She had life saving surgery that meant she was good for another 18 months at least, or so the doctors said. She didn't even make it out of the hospital. Died in her husband's arms that night when he came to visit her. (And I bet he still got clobbered with the bill!)
Gotta go.
