I'm sick and I can't sleep

I can't sleep and I'm having trouble breathing due to .. what I hope is not exactly turning into a cold; got a massively sore throat though and I figured, as I couldn't sleep, I will get up and muck around on here for a while. don't think i'll be at work today anyway so it doesn't matter about my temporary sleeping patterns. I just took a Panadole, so hope it kicks in soon.
i've not had a bad week really except for yesterday when I was stuck at work and my throat was turning to shite right then.
Wednesday night was full of "small worlds" and coincidences. -- first up, i was walking to SY station at about 6 and Teresa said hi to me, (the one who I just mentioned the other day in that survey that I'd lost touch with and would have loved to catch up with again.) She asked me what I was doing in the area, so upon telling her, I asked her the same question. turns out she lives there now and she grabbed my email address and we'll no doubt catch up soon, yeah! :)
I then went to sofias restaurant in camberwell for my second Phoenix event. I met up with the hoasts, who seemed lovely. and it turns out that Margaret works with R (family friend since before I was born) at Centerlink -- talk about small world! we couldn't get over it!
The place was lovely, but noisy. of course I'd been there before quite a few times, especially with young Milos during his time, as it was one of his favourites. but, I think since then, they've extended it, and/or bought out a shop next door. so yeh, it was absolutely packed and was extremely hard to hear! -- food was good though! -- Turned out John, who J and I have met before a few times, as he lives close to us and has always spoken to us, was there as a part of Phoenix too. At first, when he came to ask me if I wanted to share a cab home with him, I didnt realize he was from same group, but then afterwoods when he came to talk to me again, I realized and confirmed it! - woh!
Then the other John came up to me and exclaimed light-heartedly how pleased he was that I'd already been to two events in less than a week and that I listened to his suggestion!
Called J Tues night and all is going well.
man i'm sore and stuffed up. No talking on switchboards for me today me thinks!
til next time, RdFreak

damn!

well turns out to be a pretty nasty cold and my throat is still killing me. So going to take it easy today.
I will prob muck around for a bit, then go back to bed as I can't sleep or breathe that well laying down atm.
my nose kills already. I do use the tissues with vitamine E cream (or some such) and they are pretty good I must admit.
Probably won't be going to singing tomorrow, nor Bec's Sunday; last thing I want to do is spread it there! it's a shame; haven't seen the family for ages!
I was talking to tibiania on msn this morning (when i couldn't sleep) and, she helped me get back to sleep, Lol hahaha only kidding! We were talking about a possible visit next year again whilst I am overseas.
hopefully will be meeting up with Simon C (who just got rid of his LJ) this time around too which will be nice! -- will be staying with my Cornish Rellos again probably, though I need to get their new contact details off Mum as i don't believe I have them.
It will kinda be sad not going to Worcester; A because i actually loved the place and B not seeing D; but shite happens and I can't do it. But I got to get use to that, and get use to it I shall; so I think it's a good thing for me.
i absolutely can't wait to see my old buddy louise_1985 again, and hopefully I will be catching up with internet_king along the way as well! - yes, it better be a fun trip!
Oh in other news, i'd failed to update this thing about the computer club aGM which was held on the 19th of August. -- I didn't make it on as secretary; that ended up going to Adam M. I, along with Scot R (worm1000) are the two non-office committee members, and Christopher S as president and frank N as vice.
i'm thinking my past secretary drop-outs may have had something to do with it, who knows? i think, not many people on skype knew me, and that's where most of the votes went to Adam. -- I think it was a bit dodgy; the voting system sucked cos it was very unorganized, but, this is OK. at least I don't have to do much in the meeting; I mean not take minutes or anything, but provide them with my ideas, which is why i wanted to be on there.
I was surprised that I did get voted in from people I didn't really know.
til next time, RdFreak
