Happenings

In a couple of hours I jump on a plane to Brisbane. I'm there for two days only, attending the wedding of much-missed friends. I'm also on goom wrangling duties. I'm packed, I'm as organised as I can be, but I'm still taking a big gamble with my health. Hopefully it'll all come out ok.

Another blood test shows my T3 and T4 levels have halved over the last 3 weeks, and are now just a smidge above the upper extent of the "normal" range. This is good news. Correspondingly, I should be feeling very much better. I'm not there yet though, perhaps due a lag effect, to the virus that still hasn't died, or just to the fact that my body is worn out and needs some time to recover. Seeing the specialist on Tuesday, so hopefully I'll have a better idea of what's going on then.

In other news, we're finally getting out of here. Our rental application on the villa at Geilston Bay was successful, and in three week's time we can make our escape. At last! I'm looking forward to some peace and quiet, some privacy, and living next to people i haven't had to call the police on. I'll miss the warmth and cheap rent here, and I'll miss our utterly lovely landlord, but I won't miss the neighbours. And I don't think I'll miss the abstract leopard print carpet.
