Well it's Sunday already, I got quite a surprise when I attended my occupational therapy appointment on Wednesday.

Monday Already?

It's Monday morning already, and I have had a very bad night last night. I kept waking with pains in my ribs which also made me feel sick to my stomach at the same time. Between waking, breathing through pain and trying not to throw up I barely slept a wink last night.

Very bad as I had to get up I had to up early this morning to get to my brother's house before he left for work at 8 am. He is due to have a repair man come look at a problem with his new side board sometime today, afternoon he thinks but he lost the slip of paper with the correct time frame on it, so it could be any-time.

Also as my sister-in-law's grandfather is due out of hospital sometime today her Mother wanted to switch child minding days from tomorrow to today. So we have my youngest nephew to not only put into preschool but also the two youngest to pick up just after 3 pm from two different primary schools. Both my brother and sister-in-law are primary school teachers and have parents night both tonight and Wednesday this week.

I am totally knackered. Fighting to keep awake after my bad night and my ribs are still painful and even breathing hurts at the moment. Also today we have to fit in our grocery shopping which we usually do Monday mornings, petrol as my car is getting really low, a preschool drop off, two school pick ups and a repairman at my brothers house to see to. My Father is also sitting in at our house as we have a plumber due this week, no firm day but an AM call. So he's having to sit in our house in case the plumber calls today, if he doesnt arrive by noon he is walking along to sit in here while I go for lunch for my nephew and us, then he will also sit in when we do the drop off and pick ups.

iPod Dictates

Hello there, long time no read, I am currently testing out the free iPod app for Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 12 which works as a wireless microphone for the software.

I'm currently using both the app with the software to dictate this blog post. I'm quite impressed with it so far, but find that unless the room is completely quiet I need to hold the iPod quite close to my mouth to have it to translate accurately. Fortunately with my television muted I can place my iPod down on the table in front of me and talk normally.

Welcome to my blog

This might seem a strange blog post but I decided to start afresh. So please excuse me if I repeat something that you've read in the prior blog post.

Last Post

No ... not last post on the blog ... but the last non-this blog's post. I never intended to post the previous two or three posts to this particular blog and I don't want the same thing happening here that happened at my original 'disabled' blog when it evolved into a personal anything-goes blog instead of my intention to blog only about disability type issues.

But that said, I will finish what I started, I got both a answering machine message on my home phone as well as a follow up email. My Google tablet will be with me my the end of the week both said. It will be sent out at the beginning on the week (tomorrow if I interpret the order page correctly) and both communications say it will be with me this week.

So that's that back to my scheduled programming in the future.

Still Waiting

Well, the Google Nexus 7, is now marked in bold red letters 'Back in Stock' on the PC World's website available for both home delivery and store pick within 1 hour. Yet my order remains, 'Your items will be dispatched as soon as stock is available'. So as this is the second day without an update as the tablet continues to get sold both on-line and in-store by PC World I emailed them and asked for a time frame/estimate of when my order would be sent out as it was marked as 'in stock now' and 'available now' on the PC World site. Now I just have to wait while they get their collective finger out.

In Stock but Awaiting Stock?

Colour me confused. PC World has the Google Nexus 7 'in stock' to buy for either home delivery or pick-up in-store within 1 hour. Yet my order, which they've taken the money for on Tuesday, is still marked as order being fulfilled when stock is available. IF they have stock to take new orders, both in-store and online, they should have stock to fulfil orders already taken and paid for.
