Day 153: Boring

After the dramas of the past few days, today was dull and boring, all things considered (a few applications of Calamine lotion and a dose of Benadryl for Remie and a few Fungalin lozenges, some eye drops and an array of supplements for me). The only excitement was the storage freezer that had to be defrosted due to a buildup of ice from the door not being closed properly (!).   I remember being in business school and aspiring to dull and boring. We had no idea.

The only drama at the moment is Nick's 7.5 hour taxi ride to the Tokyo airport (first big snow in 15 years) followed by a re-routing via Hong Kong to Singapore, getting him in at 5a for a day of regional planning and presentations. Perhaps his trip was I'll-fated from the start.

The kids and I had a great 7.30a walk to Little Manly and a refreshing swim.  Getting out on a beautiful morning before the crowds always helps my outlook. After brekkie, we took Alex to his sailing corse and Remie and I ran a few errands. We picked Alex up at midday and went back into quarantine, spending another glorious day at home. To be honest, the rest was probably good for me. Alison kindly rang to check up on us, which made me feel more connected to the world, as did messages from my sister, Sue, Rach and Jen.

Onwards and upwards!

  1. Hi Nancie. Just checking in, letting you know that you are in my mind. I read from your blog that you have been feeling bad lately, and I think that is both understandable and ok - be true to your feelings.
    I am at home today, having taken time off work to do some writing I have to do to become a specialist. So far it is 11 pm and I haven't even started, and I have a lunch date at 1 pm... I suspect this might not be a very productive day! But, I have made arrangements for the summer holiday :-)
    I like to read your blog posts, how you describe going for a morning swim or for a walk to one of those beautiful places surrounding you, and I understand your reaction when you find a hill hard to walk, since I know you and the hill... I miss Manly and I miss you. Take care. xxx Ragnill
