I bought a big bottle of cough medicine because the dry annoying cough was plaguing me.
And guess what? The cough pretty much went away of its own accord and I’ve hardly touched the cough medicine. Typical right?

It was downhill from here on in upon waking up after a big night. That is all.
Bridesmaids

Friday, 17 June 2011, Day 206/365.
We were going to see Super 8 but at the 11th hour my significant other suggested we go and see Bridesmaids.
I was surprised he wanted to see it but was quite glad to be a part of it. I thought that after dragging him along to see Sex and the City 2 that he would have sworn off ‘chick flicks’ for life. But Bridesmaids is definitely a unixsex movie I think. The Surfer agrees with that.
I thought it was hilariously funny and I laughed a lot. I laughed so much I snorted more than once but I didn’t care one little bit.
Despite what our Aussie movie critics Margaret and David thought (not much) I thought there was a decent story behind all of that hilarity, with character growth of the main characters. Obviously I don’t mind a bit of potty humour but there is more to it than just potty humour.
Catching the tram

Wednesday, 15 June 2011, Day 204/365.
I somehow managed to get a seat this morning and surreptiously took this photo.
While I don’t really enjoy catching public transport to and from work it does have its benefits. I don’t feel like driving either. Let someone else have the stress of that.
I get to listen to people’s conversations on their various phones. I’d much rather do that than listen to someone’s second-hand music through their earphones. That really annoys me.
Last night a woman got on with a guide dog or a helping animal. I don’t think this woman was blind. Anyway she and the dog sat right next to me and she eventually told me that the dog is still being trained. The dog was a gorgeous black labrador and because the tram was packed was nestled right up against my legs. I wanted to reach out and pat her but luckily I didn’t because there was a notice on its outfit that read, ‘don’t touch’.
I usually have to stand up on the tram and I can handle this unless I’m feeling sick or if it’s really crowded.
So, I must get ready to go and catch the tram to work today.
Eye spy with my little eye

I took this photo at work. Nobody was around that I saw. You can see me and my workspace in there somewhere.
I first thought these were cameras but they’re mirrors for when you come out of another corridor so you can see someone walking the other way and avoid them.
Colour

Saturday, 11 June 2011, Day 200/365.
Now it’s winter and things are a bit grey because of the weather I notice the brighter things.
These candles were in a friend’s backyard so I took some time out from the indoor gathering to go and take some photos.
I must get the other ones off my phone because there’s some other good ones there.
The hours

Friday, 10 June 2011, Day 199/365.
This is the tram stop I stop at in the city to go to work and vice versa to get home.
I like it how my new workplace is nice and close to the tram so it’s just that bit quicker to get to and from work. I also like how I’m now working reasonable hours, that is 7.5 hours per day rather than 8.5.
I could never do 8.5 hours per day as a school mum. I didn’t want to put my son in before and after school care which meant I hardly ever started at 8.30am but 9am.
I could never hang around till 5.30pm to leave the office because I had to hoof it to the tram and then get to the school by 6pm. This meant that I either didn’t have lunch or had 15 minutes for lunch, or had to make up the time on my day off.
It’s so much less stressful now even though I don’t know if I’ve got work past September yet.
