Diabetes Insipidus

Last week I had a rather square and opinionated old Pharmacist as my tutor. For some reason the subject of diabetes insipidus came up. I mentioned that Nicole has it and it runs right though her father's family. The Pharmacist was pretty surprised that Nicole isn't on Vasopressin. He told me to go back to my doctor and request a referral to a specialist called a endocrinologist. They treat hormone disorders which this apparently is.

So... wish me luck. I'm going to do battle with our new doctor. Hopefully this one will not try to fob me off. Her face is so dry at the moment, which is a symptom of the disease. Not nice for a little girl. Especially as shes allergic to most of the moisturizing creams we've tried.

I've even emailed her father asking for more information. I know he'll not know much, but I'm hoping he'll care enough to ask other members of his family. Theres a lot of them who have this blasted disorder. I wonder what would happen if I called his father myself >:) All hell would break lose, probably. Its an option though.

You Dirty, Dirty People!

I see you people web searching for animal sex sites! You should be ashamed of yourself! And how come most of you are from Korea? You give your country a BAD name!

Clearing out the clutter.

While Stewart's away, other than working on my tech assignment and doing the school holiday things with Nicole... I've been doing some clearing out and tidying up. The other day I found a whole stack of old disks. They included old cyber convos and a whole bunch of xxx pictures that people had sent me. I didn't see any point in keeping them. Plus, as they were from before my relationship with Stewart, I'd rather he didn't find them and look. So they all got cut up and will go out with the rubbish tonight.

My assignment is coming along nicely. There's a few things I need to research at a Pharmacy, and some things I can't really do until we've actually covered them next week. This assignment has taken me a long time to really get into. Though once I was on a roll, it went well. I'm not looking forward to my exam on this subject which is on Friday next week. It'll be okay though.

Stewart will be back tonight. Hes been in Australia visiting his family for the last 8 days. He also went to the hospital and has the checkup he missed back in November because he was here. Everything is looking good. Hopefully he won't have a recurrence.

Kulim Park

Its been raining and cold here for most of the last two weeks. On Sunday there was one rare sunny (yet cold) day. Aimee was staying and I wanted to get out of the house and get some fresh air. We went and picked up young William, packed a picnic and walked down to the local park. There we met my friend Suzanne and her youngest two children Abbey (9) and Jaimee (6).

We were there for close to 4 hours. The kids had a great time. They got covered in mud from rolling down a hill. I took William home at around 3pm. He asked to be put to bed! The others came back to our house for another hour or sos play. I text William's mum Amber at 5.30pm who said he was STILL asleep, but they had had a very peaceful afternoon.

Nicole and Aimee went to bed at 7.30pm that night. Which is pretty early for the school holidays. And I turned everything off at 8.30pm, took a nice hot shower, and was in bed by 9.15pm. I went straight to sleep and slept right through. Which was the first time since Stewart's been away!

Shrek 3

A few weekends ago we were minding my 2.5 year old nephew William for the night. I decided to take us all to see Shrek 3. We'd been wanting to see it since it came out, and it sounded like something the kids would enjoy. William had never been to a movie before. He sat quietly watching for the first hour or so, then got a bit restless. I produced his bottle and he cuddled up to me watching the rest of the movie quite content.

As for the movie... it was good. But the first one was better!

Bridge to Terabithia

On Monday Nicole, Aimee and I went to see this movie. It was definitely not as I'd expected. I expected it to be about the kid's adventures in Terabithia. It wasn't though, it was about the kids friendship and their use of imaginative play helping them deal with their day to day lives. Pretty much the scenes of Terabithia seen in trailers are all that there are in the whole movie. It was very sad for a kids movie too.

Kevin Bloody Wilson

It was Stewart's birthday last month. For it I bought he and I tickets to see Kevin Bloody Wilson, an Australian singer, comedian and king of bad humour and dirty jokes. Stewart's been a fan of his for a long time. We were treated to songs like 'You can't say cunt in Canada', 'His cocks got ribs' and 'DILLIGAF'. DILLIGAF means Do I Look Like I Give A Fuck? Which is a saying Stewart has picked up on.... :|

Stewart bought a tour shirt and after the show Kevin was autographing them. By mistake Kevin signed it 'Wilson Bloody Wilson' so he gave Stewart another shirt for free. I was impressed. Stewart now has two shirts. If it was any big name rock star or something who'd done the same, I doubt whether they'd have replaced it.

AMAZINGLY SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES

1. If you are choking on an ice cube simply pour a cup of boiling water down
your throat. Presto! The blockage will instantly remove itself.

2. Avoid cutting yourself slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold
while you chop.

3. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by using the
sink.

4. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a
few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a
timer.

5. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you will be
afraid to cough.

7. You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't
move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct
tape.

8. Remember: Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

Daily Thought: Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything,
but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.

I've grown weary.

Weary of defending someone I care about to people who choose to go behind his back and fuck up his hard work when they know hes away. Then attack me on a personal level rather than be open to my points. Then to be dismissed as a 'bitch' by the person I'm defending in an attempt to placate the ones I'm defending him against. Fuck the whole damn lot of you. If I knew how to delete the whole fucking place, I would.
