Nothing special.... just "hi"

[Abbanabba]

There's not been any ground-shaking events going on in my life lately (..well aside from the move interestate, but then that's old news now..), but since I could be losing my phone-line soon, I thought I'd log in for a quick update.

I just got back from a 2 week trip up to sunny Queensland. I thought it was high time I saw my dad, since it's been about 7 years. Nothing much has changed there, but it was nice to catch up and enjoy some warmer weather.

Back in Victoria, my beloved and I are now out of the pokey little motel room the company had put us in and are staying with a lovely couple until the settlement for our house comes through (22nd Oct) and we can move in. It's great having a bit more space, but they've put in an order to disconnect their land-line (..the cost is ridiculous..), so I'm not sure how much longer I'll have access for the internet.

I've also got a date (28 Oct) to see the new cardiologist in Melbourne. I'm booked in for one of those ultra-sound thingies, followed by a consultation. I don't know if she's received all my background info yet - I'm kind of hoping she hasn't so she reviews me with an open mind, but I'll be sure to let you all know how it goes.

Oh.... I've also been offered a reception job doing some part-time hours at the motel we were staying at. I explained to the owner that I don't know how I'll go, but she said we could start of slowly and see how I feel. It sure would be nice to have some spare cash now we've got another house to pay off, so I think I'll just have to persevere and do the best I can.

Otherwise, I've not been feeling too bad. I've recovered from the move and my BP seems to be pretty good at the moment, so the dizzy spells have tapered off somewhat (YAY!). I'm still getting worn out easily (..my dad was pretty shocked at how much I've slowed down..... which just goes to show how much you "get used" to your condition..) but I'm still trying to get in a walk every day to keep SOME level of activity and fitness there.

Anyway, hope everyone else is going OK and that I'll have a few more days before the phone is disconnected to check in on you all.

Cheers

Anna,

I'm so glad to hear that all is well. You certainly don't have to wait until there is something terrible or earth-shaking to post about!

Moving is always a stressful experience, but it sounds as if you've weathered it quite well. I'm sure things will be much better when you're settled into your own place.

Good news about the job offer! Give it a go and see how things work out - at least it sounds as if your employer is understanding about your health. Sometimes having a regular job to get up and go to each day can be theraputic - - and as for the rest of the time, well, we've all been there, haven't we?

I hope that your not off-line for too long. Maybe there's a public library with internet access or an internet cafe nearby? Or maybe the computer at that motel desk has internet access that you could use when no one's looking?

Take care-

I'm still trying to picture you as Goth. It doesn't compute in my mind.

Sounds like this are moving along, however slowly. Stay in touch when you can or you know I'll have to release the hounds to find you.

Hi back at ya!

Glad all is going well at the moment.

Ross -
What can I say.... My nickname used to be "Vampira". Even now I still have quite a penchant for dressing in black most the time (..mind you, it solves the problem of having to "mix & match" your wardrobe!..). I can't even post a photo for you since I never allowed anyone to take my photo back then. Oh well.


Bill -
I figure I should have something mildly interesting to post, other than: sitting here watching the clouds go by....... hmmmmm, that one looks like a rabbit..!

Meanwhile, the phone is still on for the moment, but I located the local internet cafe over the weekend. Hopefully they don't charge an arm and a leg, but I'll cross that bridge when I have to.

By the way.... read your post on your new exercise goals. Way to go!! I'm so glad to see how well you've been doing - and how far you've progressed - since your surgery. Very impressive. Keep up the great work.


Cheers
