Blame it on the rain?

This is the second Mon-Tues-Wed in a row that I’ve been sick. Grumpy. It’s rather annoying when people ask you if you’re better and you have to say I was, but now I’m sick again.
I also have horrible cold sores strangely arranged in odd places on my face. Bit nervous about appearing in public. The notion that I don’t care that much about my appearance and what people think of me seems to be shattered whenever I get cold sores.

Do I blame it on the rain? Does one get sick from standing in the rain, cold? Or does one get sick from getiting badly sunburnt? Or does the combination of the two on consecutive days mak matters worse? Or am I jsut sick for no particular reason??

Time to fight against grumpiness….

Out and about

So ah last night we went to Tropfest at the Domain. My first Tropfest experiece. I really enjoyed it. My favourite was the one about Cronulla riots. It was funny. And politically cool. I also quite liked Road Rage and it’s commentary on the male species. Again funny. I feel shallow liking the funny ones. I thought the artist in me would gravitate to the deep meaningful arty ones. But I guess at the end of the day everyone likes a good laugh. It was good to be out in the real world on a Sunday night.

Over the weekend we had people over 2 nights in a row, one planned, one spontaneous. I like having people over. I hope that becomes a bit more of a regular occurence.

Thurs I started my one subject at college. Being back was very odd. In an environment where I spent 3 years of my life now filled with unfamiliar faces. At the moment I’m really positive about the idea of getting my brain into some study. Whether that will then translate into getting work done…well we’ll see. They say mature age students are generally more conscientious with study. I guess we’ll see if I’m mature enough.

Wed night Jon & I went to Shakespeare under the Stars at Coogee to see Comedy of Errors. Twas lovely and good. We also discovered all the beautiful cliff areas on the south end of Coogee for the first time. I think I may have found a potential new God spot. I do miss Dee Why headland.

semi anniversary

Jon and I have been married six months as of yesterday. Feels like an achievement.
In some ways it’s hard to believe it’s been that long since we did the big wedding thing. In other ways it feels like we’ve always been married.
When I think about the time ahead of us of the rest of our lives, six months seems very short. And I find that amazing. So much richness of journeying to come. Our marriage is just a baby…lots to learn…plenty of time to learn it…

Very in love today :)
