Wow its been a while since I have posted in here.
Life has been busy - I got a bug on Christmas Day that finally laid me low around 30th and was just exhausted for a long time.
On New Years Eve I sat down the harbour here, ate chocolate and watched the fireworks with the kids - after putting together my goals for 2005. It felt really surreal considering what was going on overseas, and hearing the death toll get higher and higher, and here we were sitting in comfort and watching thousands of dollars of fireworks being let off. The kids really enjoyed it though.
On Tuesday I went back to the dietician and learned I had put on 0.9 kg over the christmas/new year break. I can't really complain about that but it meant I didn't reach the 20 kg that I wanted to. It was a grand total of 18 kg for the year (which has made a tremendous difference to me).
Graham apparently lived in Aceh for 12 months, and has a lot of people he was close to there, who died in the boxing day tsunami, so he was off the air as far as thesis was concerned. I got to go over the stats with him on Thursday and I should finish the actual writing up today (all other things being equal). New due date is Friday but I hope to have it in before then.
I had lunch with Linda on Friday, and I have caught her horrible tummy bug (that she tells me shes had problems with for over a week). I hope it doesn't last that long for me because I have a really bad case of it. I can't eat anything (which I guess is a good thing) and even a glass of water means I end up sitting on the loo for hours (too much info I know). Last night I had high fevers (was in bed with a jumper on, two doonas and a hot water bottle and still couldn't get warm, and then twenty minutes later was boiling hot). I also lost the feeling in the ends of my fingers which was really weird - that's never happened to me before as a result of fever. I didn't get much sleep last night and I feel really wrung out and shaky this morning. I refuse to do anything today except maybe the write up of my thesis if I feel a bit better later.
