It is a nice cool start to the day with a temp of 20C but is supposed to reach 27C which is pretty warm.

I found Jessica’s washing hanging on my clothes hoist when I got up, I am guessing her washing machine died.

Tim and I went to Lake Fair to do some shopping, I was exhausted by the time we got home.

Thankfully we turned the air con on before we left, so the house was nice when we got home.

Jess came over just for two eggs, and yeah her washing machine died, she has ordered a new one which should come soon.

By midday it was 33C, I turned the air con on in the bedroom as well it was that hot.

Tasha came home early from Tafe due to the heat and having no working air con it the classroom, she said everyone was dripping in sweat and the teacher sent them outside a few times to get out of the extremely hot room but by I think 1.30pm she had enough and sent them home.

First day of school for the year.

A good night when the alarm went off at 5am, I felt like I had only not long been in bed.

By 1pm it was 27C but no need for the air con today, thankfully.

I have been feeling blah most of the day, just not really feeling like doing much. So I didn’t do much, I did vacuum twice, got the clothes off the hoist, folded and put away, tidy the kitchen feed the birds, wrote a letter and read some blogs but that’s all.

Another good night and nice morning it’s 20 degrees, my BGL is 5.3

Tim and I went over to Lake Fair, he wanted to cash in empty bottles, and I wanted to go to the dollar store to see what cheap Christmas things they had.

I only found a couple of things but that’s ok.

By the time we got home it was stinking hot.

Steps:6,499

I had a decent enough sleep, up at 5, showered and dressed, I have to see the neurologist is Sydney at 12.40pm so we will leave here around 9.30am

It is currently 18 degrees, but it is expected to reach 30 degrees today. My BGL was 5.1

When I saw the neurologist, she was pleased with how I am doing and isn’t making any change to my medication. The only thing that annoyed me was that she was running 70 minutes late.

We arrived home around 5pm, to a stinking hot house, we should have asked one of the girls to come and turn the air con around 4.30, that was the first thing I did after walking into the house.

LIARNA’S BIRTHDAY SHE IS 15 TODAY

I had a good night didn’t wake at all, it is 21 degrees this morning and my BGL was 5.1, we are headed for a top temp of 29 degrees.

Kathy will be dropping Summer off for the day, Summer would rather stay home alone like she did yesterday, but her mum said no.

Ok in the last how the temp has dropped to 19 degrees.

Thankfully I remember this morning that the water will be cut off from 8am to 3pm and made sure the kettle was filled as well as a jug of water.

As it turned out we didn’t have the water cut off.

There was an incident out the front, Tim was walking over to Jess’s place and the woman in unit 14 was driving out and Tim said she made like she was going to run him over. I watched the video caught on the door-bell camera, but I didn’t notice anything. I am not saying she didn’t do something just that I couldn’t see it. Anyway, he rang the cops to report it, and they came out to talk to him at 10.30pm.

Another mostly good night.

The temp is 25 degrees and my GL is 5.1. We are in for another hot day it reached a top of 33 degrees.

So, I went and had my care plan reviewed and then I went and had an Xray of my elbow done as well as the CT scan done of my left knee. Sue drove me.

I was glad that Tim turned the air con on before he went to work, as that meant I came home to a cool house.

Tim is working today; he should be home around 3pm. 

I managed to walk up and check the mail without my cane or my walker, I felt exhausted by the time I got back inside the house.

I am having a very restless night; I just can’t settle.

Steps:8,346

After a restless start to the night, I ended up sleeping good enough, I got up at 5am, showered and dressed for the day.

It is a nice 20 degrees, only looking at a top of 22 degrees today.

Around 11am it started raining and has been raining on and off all day. It has also been very windy and cold.

Steps:6,502

Another good night woke twice to pee.

It is a coldish 18 degrees and have long pants on, so I can have the sliding doors open. My BGL was 5.1

Damn it is a cold day feels more like winter then summer today. In fact, after Tim left for work, I turned the heater on for about an hour to warm the room up.

This afternoon I started to feel off, headache and aching chest and back area and just not feeling right.

Steps:4,510

Another good night woke only once to pee, it is another cool and wet morning raining as I write this. I still don’t feel great but I’m ok. It is only 19 degrees and my BGL was 4.8

It stopped raining around 12.45pm and warmed up some, but around 5pm it started raining.

I went to bed at 8.30pm but woke at 10.22, tossing and turning so I got up for an hour and half.

Tim is working he left before I got up, I think he left around 4.15am.

TEMIKA’S BIRTHDAY SHE IS 15 TODAY

I had another good night, sleeping straight through. It is a pleasant 18 degrees here although we are in for another pretty hot day.

Tim said he should be home by around 7pm, last night he thought he would be home by 10pm but it 11pm before he got home.

He arrived home at 6.15pm

Steps: 9,471

Took me a while to settle last night but once I did, I slept well. Although when I got up at 5am I still felt tired, so I went back to bed for half an hour.

It is a nice 18 degrees; it is supposed to get to 33 degrees. My BGL was 5.0

I booked in to have my hearing checked on the 28th at 9am.

I turned the air con on at 10am, it has been a hot day the temp got up to 35 degrees. 7,670

I had a good night, woke to rain and much cooler with the temp at 22 degrees, although I still had to turn the fan on. My BGL was 4.9.

Sue is taking Archi to be desexed, I did want to go with her, but Tim is working, and I have groceries coming sometime this morning.

Sue was annoyed that she had only been home 45-minutes when the vet rang, and she could pick him up in an hours’ time. So, she pretty much had to drive straight back as it is nearly an hours’ drive from her place to the vet. If they had told her that it, he would only need to be there 90-minutes she would have taken a book and went to Macca’s for a coffee and just waited.

It has been raining pretty much all day, it has also felt sticky unless I have the doors open.

Steps:4,935

SAM’S BIRTHDAY SHE IS 17 TODAY

I had a good night, woke when the alarm went off, I have both front and back doors open, however due to the wind I have the screen doors closed.

I woke to the sound of rain again, and it is cold still. I had a hot shower. I am glad we still have the heater in the bathroom as I needed it this morning.

Tim has changed the position of the lounge at first, I wasn’t sure it gave us more room but after I moved a couple of things it does.

Not as cold as yesterday and it has stopped raining, I am hoping tomorrow it isn’t raining.

Steps:7,808

There was no sound of rain this morning the ground is mostly dry so that’s good and it’s not cold nor is it hot. Only supposed to reach 24 degrees today, at the moment it is 19 degrees and my BGL was 5.1.

Sue drove me the doctors, he wants me to have an Xray on my left elbow and a CT scan of my left knee.

After the doctors we went to Big W and the Reject shop I managed to get a few Chrissy things that have been put away till next Christmas.

Yet again this afternoon I am feeling sad, and I don’t know why.

Steps:6,962                   

Another good night and nice morning it’s 20 degrees, my BGL is 4.9 and my body will not stop moving.

Kathy and the girls came over around 1pm for a visit it was nice seeing them.

I asked Tim if he would go to Maccas for me, but he said he has been drinking so he can’t. So, I asked Tasha if she got my bread roll, she said she thought Tim would get it, but I didn’t ask him, so he didn’t.

This put me in a right foul mood for the rest of the day.
