Still Sick

Since my last post I haven't managed to recover. I went to the doc on Tuesday and of course she said I was run down and that has let this virus take over with a vengeance and she asked me... 'what do you think you need to do?' so the obvious was rest for a few days. which I have done, but it has only been today that I have started to feel any better. Not even the nose spray could help me breathe, I was that stuffed up. So I am back to work tomorrow, only 1 day to get through though and then 3 more weeks of this job.

Today I cleaned away the boxes from the pergola, I can still see them, but they are not immediately outside the door anymore and I have also moved some stuff around in the shed, which should make my dear Kane happy. He is still not happy about having to share a bit of space in hit shed with me though!

We have a magpie hanging around our house. I think the tenant must have been feeding it. So today I threw out some mince for it. It gobbled it down and then flew off with some. It must have a nest somewhere. It is definitely friendly. I come within 2 meters to get the meat and follows you around the front and back yards. The below picture were taken later in the afternoon when the whole family came back for more mince. There was Mum or Dad up in the tree watching while Mum or Dad and the 3 kids came for a feed.

My friends the magpie family...

See you later.

My Birthday

It was my birthday on Saturday. I got a lovely card from Kane before we went to Albury to get the hire truck. We drove to Leeton to put all of our stuff on the truck, had a yummy birthday lunch provided by Mama and Jenny with a carrot cake birthday cake and then high-tailed back to Wodonga and unpacked. Sunday was spent cleaning, especially the mold covered refrigerator!!! Yuck, 2 hours and 1 bottle of exit mold later and it was all good again. We finally have our house looking livable again, but we can't believe how much crap we have to sort through. Bree might get very lucky I think ;)

Ty popped over yesterday arvo to help Kane with the leaky toilet. I think Ty could get credits towards his plumbing trade!


I went into school this morning feeling not so good, so I got the Principal to call in a CRT to cover my class. I feel so tired, and sick. I needed a day off, hopefully tomorrow will be better.

The photo's are of the rooms we got back together on Sunday:

The kitchen

And the areas still need TLC:

Working

Kane and I are back working and also in our house. We have not time at the moment, and feel so out of control with what is happening. We need 2 weeks to get our heads around what it happening and sort through our house, posessions and work. Crap.

We are home

I hate travelling, but I love the end result. We are home in Wodonga, but it still feels like a dream. I am sure I will wake up and be right back in Suzhou again. We have been so busy re-orienting back into life with meetings here, there and everywhere. Kane went into work today and I will phone my Principal on Sunday, next week will be quite a shock for us I'm sure.

We get our house back on the 20th of July at this stage, but this could be earlier if the tenant moves out. Our shipment from China will arrive on the 21st of July, so one of us will need to take the day off to accept it unless we can find someone to be there for us.

We will be absent from blogging for a few weeks until we get our heads around being home, so be patient please. I will still be checking blogs though...

Last full day of work

Today is my last full day of work for.... 10 days!!!!

Oh well I will enjoy my one week off.

We had our whole school concert today, they did a great job with an original version of Mambo Number 5. After lunch today we have the class party and so it'll be busy with parents until the end of the day.

Reports go home tomorrow and that'll be it.

Last night Kane and I went to dentist for a clean, I also got my teeth whitened after my marathon of dental visits. I just wanted closure I think. They look good albiet very sensitive, but i have been told that'll calm down after a few days. I am also not allowed to drink tea or coffee or eat/drink anything that can stain the teeth for 3 days.
After that Kane and I went to the nail spa for a manicure and pedicure... yes you read correctly, Kane got a mani/pedi ;0

This eveing we have the staff social and tomorrow, the last day of work.
