I have a head cold. Nothing real bad, but apparently I looked as bad as I felt yesterday cos I got sent home.
I stopped off at the chemist on the way to get some Demazin Repetabs. They’re 6 to a box, 12 hour formula, work out to about $1.15 each.
I needed photo ID.
Me: I neeb some debazid rebedabs
Assistant: Don’t think we have any, I’ll check.
{walks out back, turns in a circle, comes back}
A: Is it for you?
M: Yes id’s for be!
A: Have high blood pressure, heart medication?
M: Doe…
A: I’m gonna need some photo ID
{takes ID, consults pharmacist, the do the look-at-id-mutter-mutter-look-at-me-mutter-mutter-look-down thing a few times}
Comes back, hands over the stuff reeeeal slow-like.
They wrote down my name, presumably in case I start a speed factory using 6 demazin repetabs.

Mario Kart when you use a star.
That is all.
An ad for K-Mart was just on the TV, specifically a toy sale they are having.
They advertised “25th Anniversary Edition Care Bear”. Damn I feel old.
Observations:
Drought. Drought dries up and kills trees, the soil, etc.
Bushfires. Burns off trees killed by drought.
Storms. Knock over those trees not burnt and blows/washes away soil dried out by drought.
Floods. Washes away trees knocked over by storms, and washes out ash, soot, soil from above.
All these things are happening in and around Victoria now.
Conclusion:
Mother Nature is defragging.
Hope y’all have a great day.
Here’s what my wife got me:
Here’s what my neighbours got me:
See how generous they were? The handed these out to the whole street.
I like my wife’s present bestest.
My Dad was not well over the weekend. So much so, that we decided to take him to hospital. 24hrs in emergency later, he’s on a ward with a suspected stroke. 2 CAT scans later, they now think it’s a problem with the fluid in the cochlear that controls balance. the diagnosis was vertebrobasilar ischaemia.However, he wasn’t helping his case at all when the nurse did obs. He’s in the stroke ward, so obs include neuro tests like, do you know where you are, what day is it, etc
This is what happened yesterday.
Nurse: Do you know where you are?
Dad: Yes.
Nurse: … soooo…
Dad: I’m in bed.
Nurse: …. but….where…are you in a hotel…?
Dad: No…hospital.
Nurse: {lets out breath}
Dad: {giggles}
What can I say?
