Busy, busy , busy. Part 2

Here I am again! Eating frozen yogurt, mango flavour. I never really appreciated all the effort that goes into writing a blog but now I understand. It is time consuming!
On to the rest of our holiday spent in Wagga =)

When we arrived at the home we were welcomed in by Brooke and we all sat around chatting while we waited for Matt to get home from work. As some of you may be aware Jake's best friend is also Brooke's partner.
It was Thursday night. We spent time talking together and eating pizza. My favourite! We discussed many topics before finally heading to bed.

Friday was another work and Uni day for Matt and Brooke so Jake and I stayed at home. I read my book while Jake played on Matt's Laptop before we went to meet Matt in town for lunch. It was great, it always is when you're on holiday in a strange place at a Cafe that cooks well. Unfortunately Matt wasn't on holiday so he went back to work and Jake and I strolled along the main street. After a while Jake got a little tired so he went back while I continued to shop. We wanted to get something for Matt and Brooke to express our appreciation of their hospitality.
That night we talked some more, I read more book, we observed Matt and Brooke cook a really nice Chicken and Mushroom Risotto before watching V for Vendetta. It was almost 12 before we crawled into our beds. I was so tired.

Saturday! The day that holds special significance for myself; the day I was born. What a joyous occasion it was! After eating some breakfast of Salt and Vinegar chips we headed out to Junee to the Chocolate Factory. We all sat down and had hot chocolates and brownies before heading back into Wagga to see where Matt and Brooke spend a lot of their lives: Work and Uni.
That afternoon we had a small, light lunch and I got my hair cut off! =o =)
For those of you that don't know I recently had a hair cut (picture below). I decided I didn't really like it and in a bid to fix it got it cut shorter. I don't have a picture of it as it is now but I've had lots of compliments about it and I like it too.


Dad and I. You can't really see my hair but it's just above my shoulders. It's the best/only one I have.

My hair cut over with we went back home. Jake and Brooke watched some TV show comedy from their childhood while Matt and I did some reading. That night for dinner we went to La Porcetta. It was a pasta place and I love pasta. They were very busy but we managed to get a table. Once we had finished we got some gelati and went home again to watch Blood Diamond. Very good, very bad movie. I loved it but it was just so sad!
So in the morning Jake and I were leaving to go back home to Adelaide. We packed, loaded the car and went off to bed earlyish to organise our gift to them - We got them a card and a wall clock =) Oh, and some dried fruit because I love it.
During my stay there I used their gym balls a lot for various things so as a nice surprise, for my birthday they bought me one of my own! And some nice deep bowls because Jake and I don't have any and I mentioned that I liked theirs, I should get some. It was great =) I'm actually using my gym ball now while I type this. Back to the story -

Sunday morning was early but at least it was only 5:30am. We got ready, said our goodbyes and drove home to Adelaide. Our Kitty was very happy to see us the poor little thing. Jake and I unpacked our bags and I went over to the folks place to see Isiah and the others. They were over mums for Isiah's birthday dinner.

And that was our holiday. Wonderful but short. Jake didn't even get sick of me which is an added bonus. He did get sick though. Just a cold but it made him more tired then usual.

Here's where the rest of my story comes in. .. I went to bed Sunday night feeling fine. Was perfectly happy and healthy. I woke up Monday morning for work and realised with dismay that I was sick. I went to work and plodded through. It was a very busy day as Mondays are for me at the moment.
Tuesday I woke up aching in my throat so I called work, slept and went to the doctors. The Doctor told me I had a virus and gave me a certificate telling me to stay inside, warm and go back to work on Thursday unless I got worse. That day I slept some more and even had a minor fever! My first.
Thursday came and I was feeling better. Not best but well enough. I was still sick over the weekend, Monday and Tuesday but things weren't so bad till Tuesday night. I went to bed early because my head was pounding. Not a headache or a migraine, it just pounded when I moved or coughed or lent down, even when I was in bed sleeping! I decided that if it wasn't better when I woke for work that I should go see the doctor again. So that's what I did. Yesterday I called work again and went to the doctors. This time he tells me that I now have a sinus infection and I'm contagious =( I'm not allowed to go back to work till Monday and I have to stay inside all day. He thinks I'm sick because of going from warm places to outside constantly. I'm quite upset because I'm bored out of my brains and I want to go to work. 3 days is too long to stay at home all day with nothing to do and no one to talk to. Sigh.

And there we have it. My life. I hope you enjoyed it. This weekend Rory and Isiah are meant to be sleeping over because Damien and Natasha are going camping with another couple. I should be better by then. I have some Antibiotics.

A bowl of Special K, some left over Doritos, frozen yogurt, a mars bar and a litre of water later and I'm finally done. I can't go shopping for fresh food so I'm reduced to eating junk. There is more going on in my life but there's too much for me to write about right now. You've probably all given up by now anyway =) It is very long.

I love you all family. Always have, always will.

Tammy - And her wonderful Jake.
