Kaylia still has the wog..... and so do I. I'm full of understanding .... its not a very nice wog at all.

Tonight we want to 'Hog's Breath' again.  She likes the chicken Burger with curly chips.  Then it was home ..... and bed at 7pm.  I don't mind cos I need the rest too.

For the nerds among us ..... I thought that we (in Darlington) were very fortunate to have an internet speed of 10-12 Mb/s ...... today I was researching a computer subject and part of the discussion was the impact on access speed ..... they showed video of comparative speed tests ..... and I had to pick my jaw off the floor as it showed speeds in LA of 354 Mb/s!!!!!!    I think our government is really pulling the wool over our eyes!

I've had another eBay adventure ..... I recently updated my phone ..... at a reduced cost per month no less ...... and part of the package was a smartwatch.   Now I don't like wearing a watch ..... I haven't done so for about 30 years ..... so I thought I'd sell it.   It sold for $275!
I needed a new chainsaw for cutting firewood ..... so for $0 outlay I have a new saw and several other doodads!  Its a good deal.

She's no better today .... and I'm no better either.   She's been in bed most of the day .... not interested on food.

I surfaced enough to get Stage1 of the pay process done .... then I collapsed too.

Naomi has flown off to Bali.  She's back Wednesday.

She's home from school again today ...... and she's passed her wog onto me! At least we can now understand how she has been feeling lately.

She will stay home again tomorrow.  I just hope that Naomi doesn't catch it .... she goes to Bali tomorrow and if she was sick it would be real problem.

Kaylia was sent home from school yesterday ... sick.  She was not well ...... temperature of 38.3 and very listless.  After the usual treatments and a night of sleep, she's back on top of things.  37.1 ..... so she's home from school for today but much better.

#1324 Sunday 21 August

Last night we had a "night out" ..... we ate at 'Hog's Breath' steak house and followed with icecream at the 'Cold Rock'.  Kaylia was very excited ..... it was hard to keep her sitting down.  
When we got home she was still very excited and she didn't settle to sleep till midnight.  It was fortunate the she could sleep in after that!

Naomi says:  

My Kaylee story for the weekend...
Last night Kaylee was very unsettled with her back (and probably life, the universe and everything else too) and couldn't sleep. At 10.30pm I could hear her downstairs singing to herself. Ian was fast asleep so I came downstairs and hopped into her bed with her. 
Midnight comes along and we're both wide awake. I've now given up sleeping. Kaylee though is yawning away and then at 12.03am precisely she's asleep. At this point I decide to stay put and sleep with Kaylee (note Ian is completely oblivious to everything). 
Over the rest of the night I learn about Kaylee's three sleeping positions:
1. The Anaconda - this is where Kaylee flings her leg over your hip and arms anywhere she can (ribs, face, neck). The purpose of the anaconda is for her to get warmer and to reassure herself that you're still there....and that you're not going anywhere because you can't...because you're in a head lock.
2. The Commando Crawl - which is where, under the blankets, Kaylee moves up and down the bed in all sorts of weird ways. Note she is completely unaware of what's she's doing. At various times her head ends up where her feet should be...then she manages to right herself. Normally the blankets go where she goes...and
3. The Toe Wedge - where she literally wedges her toes and feet anywhere she can...mostly though between your legs and knees when you are laying on your side.

I love my daughter and I look forward to telling her these stories when she is older and able to understand them.

Needless to say, I am so not sleeping with her tonight :)

Later: Sunday afternoon and I'm sitting with Kaylia on the bed ..... she's singing away as she watches nursery rhymes on YouTube.   

She's happy.....  I'm happy that she's happy.  Life is good.

We went over to visit Maxine today .... followed by an op shop session.

Teddy barks ... Kaylia says "woof woof Teddy"
