This morning I dropped Alek off for his 3 week trip to America.  He is going to take part in his fathers wedding but if you ask Alek, he is going there to “see the biggest water park ever”.  He is about 12 hours into the flight and has about 16 hours (between 3 extra flights) to go before he lands in Green Bay.

 I will miss the little fella… but hope he has a fantastic time.  It’s already so quiet here and the loungeroom has remained tidy all day… 

 The computer/internet is playing up again.  My brother was down recently and the silly thing decided to work fine. He leaves and wham! it’s not working again.  It’s a very temperamental thing and I can’t work out why it does it.  But it’s working for the moment so I should be happy with that I guess!

Bro, have u jinxed it from Melbourne so we come and visit?

No I am not talking myself up.. In fact it’s not often I think of myself as a mum.. and when I do it’s kinda strange…

Anyway the topic came up last week at work.. I rang mum to ask for her advice.. the thing is I already knew the answer, i already knew my intentions.. If she agrees it’s all good.  If she disagrees I think about it again and more than likely go ahead with my decision anyway )

When I questioned why I do it.. Rach said it’s what we do… sometimes you need a second opinion to confirm what you already think/feel about something.  Rach then went on to say how much she misses that.  Her mum has dementia and is in a nursing home.  She visits her regularly and talks to her often but obviously it’s not the same.

 It got me thinking how I take my mum for granted.  I can’t recall the number of times I’ve phoned to ask how to cook something, fix something or needing advice with Alek.  I’m glad I have my mum around!!

My previous post and the “hoax” organ donation show got me thinking..  See it has done it’s job!

I’ve registered on the organ donor registration at https://www2.medicareaustralia.gov.au/pext/aodr/Pages/DonorRegistration.jsp

Well at least I think I did, there was an error advising of a duplication so I’ve sent them an email.  Is there two of me??  I’m sure I’m not the only one that would be scared by that thought..

If you are happy (not sure if that’s the right word) to donate your organs and help save the lives of others, register and let those around you know of your intentions.  It will make it a lot easier for them if they know your decision.

Browsing through the paper today I noticed the following story..

GP “groped” abuse victim. – The NSW medical tribunal ruled last week that the Penrith GP should still be able to continue practising, despite finding he acted in a “grossly, inappropriate way.”  Apparently a patient reported to him that she was abused as a child.  He somehow ended up visiting her at home and touching her inappropriately.

Sure it’s probably happened before but this is my old medical centre and i’ve seen this doctor on a few occasions.

Reality Donor show a hoax

I didn’t think this show could be real but then you never know I guess.  In a way I think it’s good how much the show has people talking about organ donation and the shortage of donors.  I’ve made my family aware that I am happy to donate my organs in the event of my death.  I don’t like to think about it but if someone in my family or my son was ever in need I would hope others would do the same.  What use are they to us after we die??  More on this topic shortly..

Coma man wakes

 Wow!  A polish man has woken up after 19 years in a coma.  I saw him on the news tonight and he looks fine.  Imagine all the things that have gone on in that time.  I hope I never have to make the decision of turning off life support of anyone.  It would be one of the hardest decisions to make.

Bob Woolmer was not murdered after all…. How could they get that wrong??  Or is it now a cover up??  hmmmm

I don’t remember writing the big brother post.. is that weird? Nor did I remember msging Andrew about my glasses.. maybe that’s why my phone bill is so high.  It appears my memory switches off after a certain time at night.

I’m not real sure why I am about to admit this but…. at 3am last sunday morning I was watching that ridiculously stupid show Quizmania.  After hearing the host say over and over this money is up for grabs on a seriously easy question I dialled the number… I was then told by a recording “sorry you haven’t been lucky enough to get through this time, please leave your name and number for the second chance draw”  These shows must make a fortune from stupid people like myself  ..awake physically but mentally alseep calling them to get through to win $1000.  I’m thinking I should unplug all phones after dark..
