Mostly dry today. In the 24 hours up to 9am this morning, we received somewhere around/between 51 (~2 inches) and 72mm (~3 inches) (two closest rainfall readings to us). Which over the 3 days amounts to 4-5 inches. The grass already looks greener.

Bubby Lara came to dinner. I cuddled her for quite a while, she fussed a bit because she was tired and I had to walk around with her. Her little eyes would be nearly closed, but as soon as I sat down, they were open again. K said she can sense the difference in air pressure ;)
3 months old in 4 days. And still gorgeous. And she smiled at me :)

Doctor wasn't as bad as I feared. Mum nearly killed some brats in the waiting room. Imagine Lynette and her 3 sons from DH (2 school age and the other around 2 - the 2 year old was an angel in comparison to the older two). The receptionist had to come in and tell them to be quiet, and she said afterwards that they're always trouble and the mother's had a go at her before when she's asked them to stop mucking around. Mum was getting to the point where she was going to say something. She brought up 4 kids, including 2 boys close in age (who couldn't be near each other without thumping each other), but we knew that when out in public you were to be on your best behaviour. Shopkeepers used to tell mum they were happy to have us in their shops, she could even take us into places with breakables - we knew not to touch or run around.
This woman had next to no control, the eldest boy pretty much laughed at her when she tried to pull him into line. When we went in there was also an older lady in there, she left and a younger lady came in. After the brats went into their appointment, the younger lady said that she was there with her 4.5 month old, and the older lady was her mother. Her mother had sent her into the waiting room to "see how not to bring up children".
I'll have to see my GP again soon. He has to draw up a mental health care plan, hoping to get onto one of the programs so I can get a Medicare rebate on some of my counselling.
Talked to him about my chronic tiredness, to see whether he had any ideas. He thinks it's a part and parcel with the arthritis/circulation problems, rather than being something separate. Which is pretty much the conclusion we came to :( It's difficult when they still can't put a name to the arthritis beyond "inflammatory" and I have symptoms from a number of different conditions instead of just one.

As for wild little ones in the Dr's waiting area, I am pretty sure that would have gotten on my last nerve as well! I can't stand it when mother's act like the children aren't even theirs and don't discipline them.
I'm glad you're getting seen for the health problems. I hope they come up with a diagnosis and some measures to help you soon, I so hate to see people I care about hurting. *hugs*

I think I'm always going to be a bit of a mystery unfortunately. It's been 8 years and we aren't really any closer to an answer. As long as I can get some money bak on my counselling, I'll be happier.

I hope you can get reimbursed for some of the counselling - it'll mean you don't have to rely on work for it, right?
I will try and see if I can download a torrent of 2.5 men, and then upload it somewhere ...Sadly, I didn't tape it. :-/
