a cold on top of a cold - 07:42 PM
(filed under 'general')
i'm getting a bit sick of having a cold. i'm almost over a cold that i've had for about two & a half weeks (i'm still a bit throaty sounding, but there's not been any more coughing & lung congestion) & now this evening it seems i've caught smiley's cold which he came down with on sunday night.
after not having to blow my nose for the last half a week or so, i've now started getting blocked up again tonight. cross your fingers that it stays only in my nose & doesn't block up my sinuses like the previous one did in the beginning.
ugh.

house minding - 06:37 PM
(filed under 'general')
i'm house minding for a friend who's gone overseas with her family.
i love the age we're in that allows me to take my wireless modem/phone line & have my very own internet & my own phone line (even with my own normal phone number) in someone else's house! it took me a while to get my head around that & i know some others have had trouble understanding how it can be done, too. hehe.
so anyway, this place is on the north side of brisbane with the beach really close by. it's not a white sandy beach, but one of those kind with the dark, grey, very fine sand that's almost muddy. it's shallow for ages & ages, high or low tide, so it's perfect for smiley to play there in the sand &/or the sea.
a friend came to visit me here today & we had fish & chips & a beer at the beach. lovely!
it's a really nice place to stay. it's like the holiday you have when you're not having a holiday. (2 points to anyone who can pick the origins of that quote. if you're not australian then you get five points. lol! 
)
i'll be back & forth to my place & here, but thanks to the wonderful advances of technology, i'll never be out of contact of anyone. ta daaaa! very cool.
