Gosh Trill, poor little fella. I wonder if he'll be a bit out of sorts tomorrow though, hope he's feeling better soon. I bet your heart lept into your mouth .

Leanne - good luck with the school thing - yes it is a bit fraught isn't it, it's like when you go for a new job and you have an idea of what it will be like but you don't actually find out until you're committed! I can't believe you're jetting off to the US (again!) Getting a taste for it, aren't you

Suz, good on your for lashing out on some mascara and well done on your weight loss. What else have you been doing besides the Wii Fit?

Oz - well said! I hope you get some good sleep soon.

MP - H seems to be going well at school - she got a really good set of grades for her Gold Rush projects (all As) so I think she finally understands what the difference is between a good mark and an average mark in terms of effort and attention to detail. I have the presence of mind and energy most days now to scrutinise her homework. Socially she has settled into a more fixed group of friends and they are all nice girls.

Cass, I hope you had a lovely day today, and scored some great loot!

AFM - saw my dr today and the good news is blood work shows no insulin/sugar issues...bad news is my hormones are on the low side. It was mad in there today (I think they were dealing with an emergency because they are *never* running that late) so I didn't have time to question her about whether that can just be a temporary thing or if it's a sign that ovaries are shutting down. Either way I feel fully justified for being a moody cow last week .
