Far and Away

Hey @Former-Member Sorry I missed you earlier - fell asleep again. Woken by a barking Toby even before a knock on the door - he is such a good watchdog ...very loud though lol I had my new flashdrive I ordered delivered. It is a tweety bird flashdrive and you may be wondering why? I have several flashdrives of looney tunes characters but they are all for school. Each writing group has one to pubish their writing on - so they are divided into groups with one of the looney tunes characters as their group symbol. I lost the feet of the tweety bird one last week so had to replace it.

It will be so good for you to have your landline back on. I hope the Telstra person can fix it quickly and there are no more issues. The ait con is next - then everything will be operational again for you ....such a relief.

I am going to try to get a little school work done - mostly reading through the kids test results from last year ...need to do that to put them into the right groups to start with. I am not going to strain myself but it would be good to have it all done before Monday. At this stage I am still hoping to be back on Monday but I will need to improve a lot more over the next couple of days. I can handle the pain but the nausea is too much. I thought I would be used to the meds by now but still nauseous. The meds I have to counteract that don't seem to be doing a lot which is quite frustrating. Wishing for everything to settle down a bit more over the next couple of days though.

I love that quote Sherry - infact I think I might print it out to display for the kids - would be something for them to aspire to do ineverything they are working on 👍

Good morning @Bimby2 Wishing you all the best for today as well

Hey @Zoe7 ... finally I have some good news. The Telstra technician left half an hour ago ... we have our phones back! It was a wiring problem he said. Really nice young fellow he was. Looks like the big electrical storm we had mid January caused lots of problems. Knocked out our nbn port, our PC port and our phone wiring. And because there were so many planned nbn outages around that time, all these problems were not discovered until way down the track. Its such a relief to know we now have comms if or when needed in an emergency. Not having it has been very worrying and stressful these last 5-6 weeks. Still waiting to hear from aircon people. Hope its not something major. I still need to get to the dentist to get my cracked back tooth looked at. And I want to get Holly in to see her vet to check out her hearing loss issues ... just to ensure its not something that can be improved or fixed. Although I have had them check her ears before, and they've always said they are clear and clean, I still want to have her checked. Slowly getting things done, and not feeling quite as overwhelmed with all that I need to, or should be, doing.

Oh gosh @Zoe7 you never cease to amaze me with all the thoughtful and fun things you do with your classroom kids. What a lovely idea! Gee ... wouldnt school and learning be a wonderful place/experience if all teachers were like you.

I hope you can manage a bit of school work today ... but please dont push it. Pushing yourself now, could mean a further delay to your eventual return. Sorry to hear that the nausea is not backing off at all, despite meds to help. Just while I think of it ... I never did respond to your Sports thread post about my Sydney Sixers big win on the weekend. Werent they terrific? Although we did not have our big smart TV due to no wifi ... at least the final was on free to air and I was able to watch it. So lucky to get in the 12 overs a side that they did, with so much rain around. They were very deserving winners I have to say. But there again I'm biased. And another years goes by without a win for (poor) Melbourne Stars. I (almost) feel sorry for them. 🏏🤣

Take it easy @Zoe7 . Sounds like another busy day for you @Faith-and-Hope with a couple of fly-bys I saw from you. I hope you manage to get through your day with energy to spare for yourself. 💖

Sherry 💕

That is great news @Former-Member It is all falling together for you finally - so much relief having all comms back up and running 👍😁 Air con next and fingers crossed that too is an easy fix 🤞

I too have a tooth I need to get seen to but it will have to wait until the next holidays unless I can get a very late appointment. My dentist is where my old school is so some distance away - therefore I would need to go after work and not be able to make it until at least 4.30. Also can't afford it right now but in another couple of pays I should be able to. I hope you can get your tooth seen to quickly Hon.

Yes your Sixers played so well and they did really deserve the win. They were the better team for the last part of the competition too so I was not surprised they won. The Stars had a bad end to the season and brought that form into the final - their batting certainly let them down ...again.

What a lovely thing to say about what I do in the classroom. I like to make things bright and enjoyable. I believe if the kids are happy they will be engaged and learn more - so anything I can do to aid that I do.

I am not going to push myself today - still very sore but the nausea has reduced this morning. I haven't eaten yet so that may be a different story when I do. I don't feel at all hungry though so will probably wait now until lunchtime and see how I go then.

Got a little snuggle puppy next to me. He is prone to ear infections so have him at the vet usually once a year - when his floppy ears get wet it can lead to infection so have to be careful washing him or when we have been to the beach. I hope Holly is okay. Even if she is losing her hearing she will still be your little snuggle puppy too - maybe even more so because she will want to be closer to you. Very much hoping that it is not hearing loss and maybe just needs her ears cleaned though. Let us know how you go at the vet. 💐💜

Leaving some hugs and love here for you too @Faith-and-Hope 💜💙💛🧡💚

@Former-Member I see you there under the support button Hon and am sooooo happy to see you

I see you too @EOR 👋💕
