Day 2 ... from the sick bed!

It doesn't cease to amaze. Let me rephrase that. I never cease to amaze me. I have been hit with a cold/flu at the exact same time of the year for the third year in a row.



Each year I have been in a (lets call it) stressful situation ... one that is fun and scary and lifechanging ... but all the same stressful. The reason I remember is that each time there have been really significant events surrounding my sickness.



The first year was my first "single" summer after breaking up with Andrew. Was living the good life, lots of going out, dating, playing baseball, swing dancing, the whole lot. Baulkham Hills had three teams that year and all were heading into the finals. Lesko was due to visit ... and we were going on a road trip to Canberra. I was living on V at the time ... something I would never do again .... basically Dave told me that I was living on adrenaline ... something you can't sustain without destroying yourself. I remember the night we won the grand final as the total underdogs. I was essentially on an adrenaline high so couldn't get any more excitement when we actually won. That night we didn't celebrate that hard, but I was so wired that when I went to bed I just stared at the roof wide awake until the sun came up!



Last year I came back from Hong Kong, and had the falling out with Kerry at Inspire. I was sick as a dog, and ended up with my second case of tonsilitis. I remember it clearly because it was about the same time I met Pravin, and I was so sick that I bailed on our first two dates. He always teased me that he never believed me and that if I had bailed on the third it would have been three strikes and I was out. Lucky for me I didn't, although it was a close call because Karen Witchell called about a potential last minute visit to Sydney, and I didn't want to have to say no to either of them! Fortunately the universe stepped in and Karen's visit didn't eventuate ... (not that I didn't want her to come, just meant I didn't have to make that decision!)



Anyway ... I ventured out this afternoon ... mainly in search of food... but also an office location. Check out the next blog for some pics.
