A quiet saturday

I woke up early and could not go back to sleep. I walked up to McDonald's and had a Bacon and Egg
McMuffin for breakfast, then bought a newspaper. Actually, I found out later that for an extra $2 I could have got a better breakfast at Subway. I really feel that I need to get my life back, if you know what that means. I feel i need more financial independence. How that will happen i do not know, but things are in God's hands.

I spent much of the afternoon doing Coldfusion again. I also got back onto the exercide bike in the afternoon. It felt good as it was my first time since the operation that i had been on the bike. I am getting convicted that i need to exercise more.

A financially troubling friday

It was busy at work today. I found out that i will not get the $1400 benefit this Xmas as it only provides for pensioners, not people on allowances. Bummer!. Also when i got home i found a disconnection notice from Victoria Electricity. I am sure it is merely an oversight.

I did something different this Friday. Instead of buying a meal, i cooked myself a casserole instead. It was lamb ragout. It was nice. I feel that i need to start to eat in a more healthy way. I watched international rules later on.

Another work free Wednesday

It was another work free Wednesday. I spent the morning working out how to do a Log in for Coldfusion. Then i had to do some business in town. I watched TV when i got home and did not have dinner until 9pm. All in all, a pretty quiet day.

A busy Tuesday

It was very busy ay work today. We had people coming in all day long and were flat out all day. The weather has turned cold again.

The end of another week

Another working week has ended and we are a week closer to Christmas. I think i will enjoy Xmas a bit more this year as i will have a bit more money, thanks to Mr Rudd and Mr Swan and Continuing Education. I woke up at 3am this morning and could not get back to sleep. I began to feel tired at lunch time and have been a bit bleary for the rest of the day. It is really warming up.

Roger Connell rang and i told him all was well. Apparently, Kath wants a computer in every room and everybody to use the database. That will be interesting. I also typed up a letter for Carol Romeril today.

A busy thursday

It was busy again at BUCO. The weather is starting to really warm up.

An intersting wednesday

I did little during the day, as it was my day off. Just returned a video to the library. We held the Men's Shiraz group in the evening. We met at The Furness house in Junortoun. Fraser dove me and Trevor there. It was a more spiritual night as we prayed and shared for an hour first before we began to eat, drink and tell jokes. Mike Patterson was there as well. All, in all it was a really good night.

A busy Tuesday

Things are getting very busy at BUCO. Once again, i just spent the whole day doing data entry for emergency relief. We are really getting busy. On a brighter note, I heard today that all single pensioners will get a $1400 bonus before Christmas. Good on the government. I think it will be a slightly happier Christmas for me as i won't be broke this time.

On the sadder side. I got an email from MaryAnne saying that she has broken up with Graham. It is sad news, but nobody is surprised.

Back to BUCO

It was another really busy day at BUCO. It seems that lots of people come in on Fridays, and that it is taking me all day to do the data entry. I had a long sleep when i got home. I missed the news but i watched Michael Moore's movie "Sicko" later on. It was really good and very moving.

Sunday the 12th of October

I walked to and from church again. Phil did a really good preach. Also the numbers seemed to be up a bit. There was ome pretty good tv in the evening. A good documentary on the Galapagos Islands followed by "First Australians", an interesting documentary on Australia Aboriginals on SBS. It was very thought provoking. The weather is starting to warm up.

Friday the 10th

It was a quiet day at work as we did not have many visitors. That was good as it meant that i could catch up on some extra work. I was tired when i got home and did not watch any TV. I ended up having a late dinner.

A sleepy wednesday

It was great to sleep in again on wednesday. I had planned to do my tax online today but found out that for some reason i was ineligible. I will have to do it the old fashioned way. Other than that,  a pretty quiet day.

A busy tuesday

Things are really getting busy at work. I just entered data all day long. It took me all day to do what normally takes a whole day. I was glad when the day was over. The weather has turned cold again. The good news is that i am finally off the medication and do not need the home nurse any more.

A no church Sunday

Today is the start of daylight saving for 2008-2009. We had to put our clocks one hour forward. When i woke up in the morning i was really tired, so i did not go to church. I just did not feel like it, which is lazy but it is getting hot and i am tired of the walk anyway.

I went to the computer swap meet in the YMCA in the afternoon, but i did not buy anything, except a sausage. In the afternnon the NRL grand final was held. Manly won 40 to 0 against the Storm. O' well, too bad.

A nice pleasant Saturday

Today was Saturday. It was really quiet compared to last week. I did little except keep studying Coldfusion and watch the video "Enigma". Which was OK.

A cold wet Friday

The weather was just starting to get warm but today it got progressively colder and wetter. In the evening the movie "War of the World's" was on TV. it was the modern version with Tom Cruise and it was really good.

A quieter thursday

It was quieter at work today. I was not as busy so i got more done. The night before, we held the Shiraz group at Manny's place at Longlea. We had chicken and lamb on a spit as well as some fish served Greek style. Manny's brother was there and it was a really good night. The food and fellowship was great, even though we got home late.
