I am bored and still sick. I have spent most of today trying to comfort Austin. Poor little bugger is so sick. He must be over it by now. He has had this cold for 2 weeks now. I guess on an up note thou, now he is coughing alot, so i guess it is on its way out. He is doing this really strange breathing thing, and i am a little worried it might be asthma, but i dont know. I have never had it, and Shannon hasnt had it since he was a kid, so i dont know what i am meant to look out for??? Well i hope it isnt anyway.

He is very clever thou, while he has been sick i have been trying to teach him to blow his nose, which he does do sometimes, the rest of the time i have to fight with him just to wipe it, but i have found making it a blowing game has helped a little.. sometimes.. We also taught him to cover his mouth when he coughs, which he picked up straight away.

I have to say, i am just blown away by how quickly he is learning everything at the moment. Some things we only show him once and he remembers. It is amazing what their little brains do!!!

I joined the gym last week and went for my first work out yesterday. It wasnt as hard as i expected it to be. I thought for sure my legs would ache today, but they are good, i am just a little tender around my shoulder blades, i am thinking from the rowing machine or the weights. Not sure yet, will see which one hurts more tomorrow when i go.

Well i am sure i have more to write, but i think i will go and do something constructive?? Or maybe i will stay here LOL dont know yet.

Have a great week everyone!!!

Last night my friend ran in the 3000m Steplechase at the olympics. He came in 6th place (so no medal unfortunately) but he did get a new personal best of 8:16:37

We are very proud of him and i just want to say congratulations to him for doing such a fantastic job!!

On a slightly less happy note, my darling boy is still sick and he is miserable. I feel aweful coz there is nothing i seem to be able to do to make him feel better :(

Anyway, will write a better blog later on, Austin is awake and cant breathe too well.

I just watched my friend run in the mens 3000m Steplechase!!! He came 6th, but he has made it into the final!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited!! He ran the race in 8:17:97 It is his personal best and it was a super fast race. Of course anything can happen in the final, but OMG...GO YOUCEF!!!!!!!!!!!!

For anyone that wants to watch it, it is monday night at about 11.10pm!!

YAY GO AUSTRALIA!!! GO YOUCEF!!!

I am bored.

my house is freezing, and i am getting really sick of being here alone all the time. I miss having someone to talk to. Even if it is just small talk. God i would even like some uncomfortable silence at the moment LOL na not really. But i do wish Shannon was home. I guess i shouldnt complain, he will be here tomorrow.

My nose has moved on now from dripping like a tap to blocked up so badly that i can't breathe at all. Just lovely. I am still coughing like a sick horse and my throat is now killing me!

Last night i sat on the computer til about 2am, that is probably the latest i have been up in over a year! Seriously, and i dont know why, i took some night cold and flu tablets, some medicine for my cough and nothing... i think i got to sleep about 3am.. Austin woke up at 6.30 LOL Strangely enough thou, i felt really good today (other than being sick i mean) i wasnt tired or cranky... just sick.

On a more positive note, i joined the gym today. I go  in at 10am tomorrow to meet with my trainer and to sort out some sort of program for me. Will have to be weighed (yuck) and measured (again, yuck) but i guess it has to be done. The reason i am going is to loose some weight, so i guess i sorta need to know where i am starting.

Well thats my whinge for the day.
