HI EVERYONE!!!

Well, here I am! Thank you so much for all the "we miss you where are you..." comments, it means a lot to me to know you all care, thank you!

Well I'm alright, but I could be better. A lovely and special friend of mine died suddenly, and that has been hard to come to grips with, especially since I feel so removed in Canberra, I haven't really made solid friendships here, so I miss my Wollongong friends even more. I miss her so much, but I know I'll see her again, I actually grieve more for her fiance and family and everyone that now have to go on without her. She was a such a bright star in all our lives.

Now that I'm crying again... just a little bit... lets talk about something else. I wasn't avoiding posting just cos of stuff happening, I actually haven't been able to. The Internet we have PAID for over a month ago, STILL isn't working. And I'm getting sick of spending my days off on the phone to this stupid company, it's driving me up the wall! We are using a temporary account now, but still, huge grrrs to them!

And the other thing is that I have been barely coping with life in general, I've been constantly sick for the last few weeks. I've had to take some time off work, but mostly I've been at work then come home and crash, then get up and repeat. I'm absolutely exhausted! But I've been a bit better over the last few days, so here's hoping its on the way out!

Don't get me started on work though, they have been completely unsupportive!

Anyway, that's my little "woe is me" post. I'm not really woe-ing too much, I'm actually pretty good, it's just been busy with "life" lately. We are heading off to Port Macquarie (see the pic, isn't it beautiful! I get to see beach again, YAY!!!) on Monday to visit the In-Laws for a week, which is great, as we haven't seen them for a year, not even at Christmas, so this is quite a big thing. I'm not particularly looking foreword to the drive, it's even longer now we are in Canberra, and it's hot... not fun at all, but I'm sure we will get through! I'm just have to make sure my fair and freckled hubby is lathered up in sunscreen! Maybe I'll just paint him with flouro zinc, that sounds amusing for a few hours! :)

Anyway, so my next post may be after we get back, but I hope everyone is well, and I'll talk to you all again soon!

MWAH!
RaeRae :)

p.s I found the Jillian DVD's in Kmart, and I know Big W has them too, so they are most places! I have to say I love watching the biggest loser too, i wish i could join in some of the challenges and stuff, they look great!

I was very sorry to read about the loss of your friend Rae :-( I hope her passing was quick and painless. She will always watch over you, I am sure of this.

It's good to see you back, I check on your blog regularly! Have a grrreat time in Port Mac, maybe some surf and sunshine will shake off this dreadful bug that has been making you so crook! There's something uplifting about the ocean and the smell of the salty water and the beautiful sea breezes.

I have a healthy BMI!! WOOT! WWGW of 65kgs acheived Sept 2009.

On the way to the 50's...
