Another Day, Another Doctor’s Visit

Today was day 3 of my half-days work week, and I can’t say that it went as well as the first two, when I managed to make it nearly a full half day before having to go home from the pressure that built up in my back after sitting upright for 4 hours. I even…July 31, 2008 / 1 Comment / Read More

Going a Bit Crazy

I think I have to count this weekend as one of the longest I’ve ever had. I wanted to get out of the house so badly, but it’s sadly obvious that I can’t do that very well.

After some deliberation on whether I needed a car in Perth or not, I…July 20, 2008 / 1 Comment / Read More

A Fantastic Time in Byron, Part 1

A week and a half ago, I flew over to the east coast for another weekend away. Even though I do like Perth, it was great to get away for a little while, especially since I got Monday off…so I didn’t feel quite so much like I was getting off a plane just to get back…July 5, 2008 / 1 Comment / Read More
