Daytime TV

Would be a lot more bearable if they didn’t have that bloody ad for ABC Learning Centers. It has cute children, good cinematography, and inoffensive music. But the voiceover woman would be a whole lot more convincing about the “Learning for Life” thing if she said literacy instead of lideracy. Bah.

I went to the doctor. I have a cold. I might be better tomorrow, or I might be worse. Drink plenty of fluids, rest, and take zinc and vitamin C. And rest. Did I mention rest? Again with the bloody rest.

Oh, and I have officially got the family curse. My mum has them, and my brother, and I was hoping I’d be immune – and I was for my first 36 years, but no more. The bite that Custard gave me before we went to Vietnam has healed strangely, and is kind of sore and dark and itchy. As an aside, while I was getting poked (with a stethoscope, don’t be dirty) by the doc, I thought I would ask him to take a quick look.

It’s definitely an abnormal growth. Let’s just hope that it has stopped growing, because the little buggers can be like tumours, and keep growing for years.

But I cast on for the second sleeve, and got some good knitting done today. I hope to finish the sleeve and get it attached tonight, at least that will give me a good feeling about my achievements for today.
