sort of wish life was a bit less busy..
Thursday Mr8 feeling a bit yuckish in the morning… Mr13 had same virus day before.. so took Mr8 with me to town to nominate for local council.
Car making hideous noises on braking… took it into mechanics… they are SOOOO good to me.. whipped in straight in (took somebody elses car out first) new brake pads (metal on metal) and one new tyre (other one shredded on inside)
Got lunch at Bakery (yum, such a treat for us) took Mr8 to school, was asked to check on distressed mother at home with autistic child. Did that, told her to take him to doc… both looked ill to me…poor child cannot speak.
Had phone call about job application.. they cannot get onto any of my refs…ok I’ll try some more…
Went to work.
Made eight phone calls… tracked down by teaching mentor and old kind friend in remote area of North Queensland (teaching of course). Asked to give reference…
Got Mr13s National School Test back.. very good mostly above averages.
Friday took Mr8 to other town to endocrinologist about him being so small and skinny. Visiting Specialist. Very nice, wants an xray of his hand – will get this done at Children’s Hospital in capital city when we travel over in 10 days time for his Nerve Conduction Test.
Took car for wheel alignment… they cannot do… no more adjustment left.. ok order in expensive extension so can align (tyres are expensive too) Come back next Wednesday OK
Rang job people… they will be in town next week Wednesday, meeting them for lunch.. don’t think Iv got job – thats actually fine by me as I dont think I could manage it at moment – but they seem interested in me – Im hoping they will keep me in the loop as a relief or extra person – that would suit me really nicely…but I’ll have to wait and see …
Went to look at Subarus in shop… two 2nd hand $20G, brand new out diesel model $44G.. got brochures and threatened current car with them… keep going or else I’ll replace you.. get the hint!?
PS Mr8s school is 25 kms away on bad dirt road, town is 50km on part dirt, other town is 110km and capital city is 700kms. Get the car thing? (not to mention the time thing…).
Worked this morning..after dropping off smoko and lunch to man and shearer at other property.. this arvo I mowed thigh deep clover and weeds with my (not ride on) mower for three hours and did lots of hand weeding too. I found our house again! yAY!
