Before I ramble on with my week of last, I will answer this simple writer's block question:
[Error: unknown template qotd]

This week has been rather busy compared to my usual standards!
Tuesday night was the Computer Users group, where rB and I again, did a wonderful job (if I may say so my humble self :) of setting all the audio stuff up, as well as maintaining the Ventrilo connection. -- twas a good night!
Wednesday I went into the city and met RB, where we discussed our lives some more. We were both upset again, by the end.
Thursday I of course went to work, then met up with J, K and Q, and we all went to Gail and garry's place for dinner to see Bill! man it was a good night, and so good to see them all, including bill of course, as it'd been nine years since he was here last! -- He even gave me a musical birthday card and a gift, which i certainly wasn't expecting; just goes to show what a wonderful friend he is, even though I'm terrible with keeping in contact much of the time!
Yesterday Mum took me into Boxhill hospital at 9 for my iron infusion. -- i was nervous but knew I shouldn't be.
Once the drip was hanging out of me, Mum left, and I stayed there til 4.30, amusing myself by listening to neighbours eppisodes thanks to my external drive, and laptop.
Oh, was talking to this lovely young guy in the morning who visits frequently for vitamin infusions for his Chromes disease. I enjoyed having his company in the morning before he was done, and left.
Nan had come over Thursday night as she offered to stay here with heartly.
She left last night after her, Mum and I had some Mackers for tea.
For the first hour of my infusion yesterday, my blood pressure was checked every fifteen minutes, and then it was every half hour. -- in some cases, blood pressure can lower and the pulse-rate can get too quick. But all throughout, mine was fine, and I was feeling fine, as some people can suffer from nausea.
I went to singing this morning for the first time in six weeks; was great to see her and get back into it. She was apologetic for not making my party but she wasn't very well that day.
Anyway, still don't feel like iron woman, but was told it can take up to a week for any noticeable differences.
And that's about all.
Prue's got her house warming tonight, and i may yet decide to go for a few hours, but it depends on how i feel at the time; they said to drop in whenever which is a good plan!
Think that's about all for now!
Til next time, RdFreak
P.S. Wishing my felo Aussies and kiwi's a reflective ANZAC day today!

Well after long last, I finally figured out my windows media player issues and I payd for premium and I'm currenly streaming BigBrother live, and they are eating porridge while others are having their showers! It took me ages to figure out why I couldn't stream, and so many helpful suggestions were made on the BB forums cos it certainly wasn't just me who was having problems, but finally it all came right when I realized that in the performance tab of options, there was in fact a auto detect setting for internet speed. I did not know that for ages cos jaws didn't read it when cursoring up and down the combo box of different modem speeds. I just knew it was there by typing A yesterday cos everyone kept saying it was there! And I just couldn't help myself. I just had to pay the $40 to hear their action whenever I wanted. If I were Milos I'd be asking for it half price since I can't see it. in fact I would if I knew who to write too. I think that's only fair!
So as they said in the forums we only get 20 mins before it times out and we have to reconnect. I guess I can understand that though because of bandwidth issues and some ppl will just leave it all day while doing other things.
Oh I believe I only have a 20 gig limit now before it throttles me down. I selected my new $49 plan sunday night. I think something like 512/128. ah well! "This is BigBrother. The hot water is now off!" ha this is cool! I don't know if they all got to have their showers. BB is strict this year! they've already lost heaps of money in fines. Lol
anyway in other news guess I took a break from writing. Last week I kinda had an extended easter. I didn't do any work. in fact I was quite bored and bla. not sure entirely. but since I didn't really discuss my birthday/easter weekend, that was great for the most part! We arrived on the Friday, Saturday it rained on and off but dad, A and I went to J and P's with R and K and we ended up going out to the contanental for tea with them, and then this pancake place (not the pancake parlour though). then on sunday morning I got up and was a tad sick! First time I threw up in years, and even though it scared me at the time, I didn't feel too torturous afterwoods, (cos of my sudden zoloft again. took it all instead of weaning back on - bad bad). So yeah that wasn't pleasant first thing on my b/day but it didn't last for long but i just sat on the couch in my sleeping bag for the morning getting apples cut up for me, easter stuff given to me and birthday songs! parents giving me plants for garden later. I didn't eat any chocolate til late afternoon! record for me! Anyway later on our family and aunt J, R and K and Nan went to this really nice Italian restaurant for lunch, then we all went back to our house and played celebrity Heads. It was pretty fun! Then they left. and Bec and Ang were looking online for Chorawas (excuse spelling) for some reason. they had got to hold one while on a walk earlier on and decided they wanted one.
anyway Dad, Nan and I left Monday in Ang' car with one of the trailers (we took a lot of furniture down). Anyway then Mum and ang left in the other car with the other trailer later. I went back home and reflected that I did have a good time despite me not having brought anything what so ever to do. Nan drove home after getting her car from my house. then the next day Ang came around to show me the charawa she'd bought from this breeder. she was very cute! But the next day she was very upset as she had to take her back. Parents weren't wrapped on the idea and T wasn't accepting really. but yeah, she was so down that she was allowed to get her again. She named her Ruby and Mum fell in love with her. Dad was in sydney since Tuesday but he accepted her alright when he got home. I minded her last night while ang went to work. (she had tried taking her to work last week but not very successfully apparently). anyway she's sooooo cute! She's only seven weeks and she just toilets when ya take her out! Heartly ignores her pretty much though I think she started getting a bit jealous/attention seeking.
Oh yes sunday was when we all went to pancake parlour for b/day. It was alright except we weren't on one big table like I kinda had expected. I should have researched that a bit before hand but ah well! Also most were way too casual about the RSVP date. though I got a big turnout, ppl were saying "maybe" just like days before. *grrr I think that's so rude. the RSVP date is for a reason! ah well whatever. nah it was good. and I know it is hard in april with easter and all!
so I got to send in my final draft for story which is due today (maybe yesterday. I finished it just forgot to email it *grr) also got to finish scanning and doing some other exercises from newsletter since I can't participate in chat. Will work on that tomorrow.
Right, that's a summary and now I'm off to launch the BB stream again. it timed out! *grrr
I'm kinda dizzy btw don't know why.
Til Next Time, RdFreak
