Man I feel like crap.
I stayed home today, even tho we were suppose to be starting queries for our masters project, but the coughing is just ridiculous. I've had an almost temperature for the last couple of days (37.4 dagnamit, if I'm going to be sick, give me a good temperature, something I can measure).
I dont want to miss clinic, but I cannot go like this. I'll pass out, cough all over the kids, it'll be terrible.
Ok I'm off to pass out on our luxury couch... mmmm
xoxo Vic

Sick, dying and throwing away the bad
Oh man, my uni mates have been sick over the last 2 weeks and I think I finally may have caught whatever it is that they have had.
My throat is killing me and argh! the coughing. Didnt get much sleep because of it.
Add to that, that Rhys is away until tomorrow - god damn I hate his work, they should have put him on a flight TONIGHT, but no. He flies home tomorrow! What if we had been planning to go to a dawn service for ANZAC day? They are such pricks.
I spent today cleaning up my place, trying to make room to be excited about a wedding. I was involved in such a massive wedding, that defines weddings for me, that I had to cleanse my life from anything I had from that event. I donated that damn bridesmaid dress to a charity. I feel renewed and grateful, now I can start again.
I have no energy to plan clinic. Rhys helps me so much that life just gets so much more difficult when he is away. haha becoming co-dependent on an engineer, dumbest idea ever. I worry about the future sometimes, they need to work out on site, its just the way it is. I couldnt deal with him being in a different country for weeks at a time. I look back and cannot believe how well I did with him away 11 days out of 14 for 9 months last year. I also love that he is an engineer, he is so smart, I'm crazy proud of how good is it at his job. At least he calls me every single night he is away. Without fail. Damn I miss that idiot.

good distractions
Hey!
Yay for this engagement. Its nice to have something else going on other than uni.
erghk last week was the worst! We had 3 assignments due in a clinic mid-way assessment all in the same 7 days. and I was so afraid that I would be marked as being at risk of failing clinic, because the week before hand my CE had said to me that it seemed like my partner was taking over because she felt I couldnt do the session. OUCH.
But I had an opportunity to run a session on my own and it seems like my CE is beginning to get where I am coming from. My biggest problem is that I am a quiet worker. As students we seem to need to broadcast everything we do, to me that just seems exhausting.
Anyway onto wedding stuff.
We're trying to find a ceremony and reception venue in the Brisbane/St Lucia region.
I'm pretty fussy.
I'll write more this week now that everything has been handed in and that there is no clinic thing week. Woooo.

Phone call with mum
This is a continuation from last week, so on Saturday the 29th Rhys proposed. On the Sunday I came to the decision that I needed to tell my mum, asap, or else I would go crazy.
I will always remember this conversation:
We were in the car heading to Montville from Mapleton and, with my stomach in a knot/ball I dialed my parents’ number. I was fully expecting dad to answer as mum is always at work and dad always answers,
“Hello?” said my mum
“Shit...” I said
“Hello?”
“Hi mum! How are you?”
“Huh? Hello?”
“Hi mum! How are you going?”
“Are you ok? Where are you?”
“Oh I’m still in Montville.”
“is everything ok? What have you been up to?”
Awkward pause, phone half cuts out as we drive through the mountains...
“hello?”
“Ok so I went on a 1.2 km walk today”
“are you ok?”
“err yeah and yesterday we walked up and down main st in Montville, bought some candy and tea and when we got back to the cottage Rhys asked me to marry him” all said insanely rushed.
“I knew it!”
“I knew it! I was telling everyone at work – that he was going to propose, you just ask them I told at least five of them. You said no right?”
“Of coarse I did”
“Good girl.”
“Can I tell dad?”
“I told him yesterday, he asked if you were coming around this weekend and I said that he was taking you to Montville to propose”
“Can I tell him it is official”
“He’s not home. You said yes didn’t you?”
“Yes”
“Wait until you’re 26”
“I was thinking winter 2010, we’ll both be 25 and I’ll almost be 26”
“That’s ok, I can live with that. Congratulations, I am happy for you”
(she may have gone on to call Rhys an idiot...)
