Day 3

Today was actually really enjoyable. Not that the past two days haven't been, but today was just exceptionally enjoyable.

Didn't have any doctor appointments or anything, or work for that matter. They went to get him a blood test this morning, before I woke up, and then I got up made breakfast for us. For him, I toasted a piece of bread with a slice of chicken in it which he ate with half boiled eggs. She ate... half boiled eggs on toast. And I had a nice big sandwich of CHEESE, CHICKEN and sun-dried tomato stuff. Yumm.

We basically ran errands all day. Picked up my passport, overdue by a month, from the Chinese embassy. Dropped into school to do my exit form stuff and just chat with a few of the teachers. Got to talk to Ms. Mill about my derived score application, which, fortunately, has been approved for all my subjects, save English. Praise God for that! We had lunch in South Yarra, then we headed to Richmond MLN, a computer store, to buy me a nice laptop, on which I am currently typing. I took a loan from her first, because this lappy is a Christmas sale special and I'll be working throughout Christmas season.

We then went around looking at furniture, because we are looking to buy a new L-shaped, leather couch. We couldn't really find anything great. Although I did find a futon-couch thing in Fantastic for $199, which I want for my room. Gotta do some reorganising first though. We're also looking for a TV, but didn't have time to look today.

Then we came home and I helped him with around an hour of physio, which was good quality time. His hand has gotten a bit swollen, and I have this fear that it could be my massaging from yesterday... Actually now that I think about it, maybe it's the acupuncture. Hopefully it's just the progression of his condition though. He says it's just water retention. Helped him with stretches and exercises. His arm feels like soft Japanese tofu... I hope that we can speed up the return of his muscle strength with physio and all.

He just tugged my sleeve and asked me to tell him a bedtime story when I put him into bed. Haha. He said this 'cause the last time I tucked him in I said "Oh, look! It's a role reversal... I'm doing the tuckin' in now!"

Today was a good Day 3.
