Flu-induced musings

I've been feeling a little off colour for about a week now, sniffling and wheezing my way through work and essays. It came to a head this weekend when I started to get a little feverish. Thankfully it was nothing that prescription drugs and some TLC couldn't fix, but my mind went a little... well, wonky.

Glenny and I watched The Woman in Black early this afternoon, and I am so glad I didn't watch it all alone. It scared the hell out of both of us, and as a fan of all things supernatural themed it's no small thing to scare Glenn. When it was over, he had to head home. After he left, I texted him to ask him to let me know when he got home safely, knowing that it usually only takes him about an hour and fifteen.

Two hours later I was imagining he saw the woman in black and something horrible had happened to him.

Three hours later I was sure of it. She had caused him to veer off the road and hit a tree from the shock of seeing her. She made him stop off at the bottlo in Warren and drink drive his way into a huge kangaroo. She somehow managed to make his ute explode.

It's all ridiculous I know, but somehow I had my flu-clouded mind convinced. I mean honestly, the bullbar would've damaged the kangaroo more than the kangaroo would have hurt him!

Three hours ten minutes later: he'd been home for ages and had only just received my messages thanks to poor reception out his way.

The moral of the story is don't ever allow Skye to watch scary movies. EVER.

I'm a nut

Skybie news in a nutshell:


All  moved and settled into the new flat in Narromine.

All settled into the new job in Dubbo.

Spent my tax return on bills and a little Nikon camera.

Met Glenn's family, he met mine. No one has cried yet, so seems promising.

Been disgusted with the WIN network's coverage of the Olympics.

Rekindled my love for Superheist.

Random weekend roadtrips.

Met a nice Telstra tech who was actually helpful and knew what he was talking about.

Turned 28.


Yeah, that's about it. It doesn't seem like much but I'm pretty well exhausted!
