Chucking a sickie

Chucking a sickie means in Australian speak that you stay home from work because you are sick. You watch series and sleep and have cups of tea. However in hubby's world it means that you do everything work related that you would normally do at work but sitting surrounded by Kleenex and empty cups in your bed with your laptop. He actually is quite miserable but feels he has to go back tomorrow, one sickie is enough.

The weekend was both fun and not so much fun. I had to go to hospital twice to get an antibiotic drip because I have a staph infection in my right leg. Today I didn't have to go because a nurse came here and took care of it. Now we are nervous about me not being able to fly to Europe next Monday but I feel it will be ok. Fingers crossed.

The fun part was that the kids came around, flowers and all. They had a stop at IKEA on the way so we had lots of goodies plus the gigantic meatloaf that hubby had prepared. They stayed and watched part of the Eurovision finals with us. It's a big deal here. Yes, I think I have mentioned it before but Australia considerers itself part of Europe when it comes to Eurovision. Can you just imagine what will happen if they win one year and the whole circus has to travel all the way here Down Under.

There will be more shortly. Take care dear readers.
