This will be a quick blog cos i am so busy at work, i am doing the job of two people... well 1 1/2 people anyway as i don't do all the duties of the other person but enough of it to keep me stressed to the max. This state govt in its quest for the almighty dollar decreed that when someone goes on leave or quits the dept the person does not get replaced. we have one person on extended leave and another resigned, both from the same area, so the rest of us has to take up the slack as neither of them are getting replaced. This govt has no idea whatsoever, they don't know the meaning of the word "stress". They just turn up for "work" a few weeks each year just bitching at each other while taking home $100000+ salaries - that my friend is not stress i don't care what anyone says. There will always be rulers and peasants, nothing ever changes, only the names and position titles changes...... anyway.......
Football tipping lesson #1 - always pick the Magpies!! haha!!! Awesome win they had last week. They should beat the Gold Coast this time, well they had better beat the Gold Coast otherwise I will disown them!! I got 6 points last week so doing reasonably OK, in the middle of the field, well top half of the middle anyway......
It's June now and still sunny and warm.... well it did rain last night after two weeks without rain, but it will all clear up again and be sunny again today.... uhhhhh such is life on the sunny west coast hehe!!

Hey all.... about time I peek my head in again. My life is all pretty well the same here, go to work each day, then be carer for Sally when I am not at work, changing bandages every night and etc. One day just merges into another, my life a never ending treadmill with no end in sight.
Anyway..... had a good week with the football tipping after recovering from the disaster the previous week when I gotten only 4 points. I am back in business with 7 points last week including my much beloved Magpies. Will my beloved Magpies win again? They make the trek to Adelaide this weekend, and well the Crows are in 2nd spot but won only one more game than us..... hmmmmmm...... have to think about this one......
Lots of interesting things happening Astronomically. A few days ago there was the solar eclipse. Then in what seems to be a series of amazing coincidences, a lunar eclipse will be happening in just a little over a week from now, indeed on June 4 and it can be seen from anywhere in Australia during the first part of the evening, well before midnight anyway. Then we have Venus transit of the sun on June 5 and 6, and that can also be seen from here in Australia early on the 6th - from the west coast it will be as the sun is rising. I have to dig out my old telescope!!
With all these celestial events.... well much has been said about 2012 being the end of the world cos the Mayan calendar ends on December 21 2012. Well I don't think for a minute that the world will end, not in 2012 nor any time soon. Indeed this planet will be around for at least another few billion years until the sun decides to blow itself up. Whether we will be around by then is another matter, nevertheless, I do believe the human race will survive for some time yet even given the possibility of some nutcase rising to power akin to Hitler, Stalin or George Bush! LOL! and with nuclear weapons in hand. But anyway, point is, both us and the planet will be around for a long time after 2012.
So what's the deal about 2012. Well on December 21, the earth and sun will be in exact alignment with the center of the galaxy, that is, you draw a line through the earth and sun it continues to the exact center of the galaxy. This happens only once every 26000 years and happens to be in the changeover of the astrological ages. The earth axis processions around in a circle over 26000 years so for 2000 years each it points to a particular zodiac sector, and for the past 2000 years it has been pointing to Pisces - the age of Christianity - hence the association of Christianity with the fish, you know those fish signs on the back of cars owned by Christians, and Jesus referring to fishing and fishermen, etc. But it is moving from Pisces into Aquarius, well it has been for a while but moreso now if that makes sense......
The Mayan calendar.... well to say it "ends" in 2012 is really not an accurate way of putting it. We with our Roman calendar are used to seeing time in a linear fashion, one year moves into another ad infinitum. The Mayan calendar however is cyclical, indeed it runs on three major cycles, and it just happens that all three cycles coincides on December 21 2012, the time when the earth and sun lines up with the center of the galaxy. You see smart cookies them Mayans, they know about Astronomy and stuff. So it doesn't actually end on 2012, it simply the case of the three cycles coinciding, and it will continue on thereafter, just the start of the next cycles for another 26000 years..... pure and simple really.
So there is nothing to fear on December 21 2012..... but I did enjoy the movie!!! haha!!!!

Its about time I peek my head in again.... nothing too much changes here so nothing much to update on.....
It has been another good week on the football tipping, scoring 8 points from 9, and my Maggies won again which helped in my tipping ;) This week I pick the Maggies again they should beat Brisbane in spite of home ground advantage. And I picked Essendon to beat the Weevils - West Coast Eagles - they can't keep on winning forever, Essendon lost only one game so far so is only a game behind on the ladder, and they have home ground advantage. Shall see how it pans out......
Sally is back on antibiotics much to her displeasure due to side effects but the sores are starting to flare up again so need to nip it in the bud. Several months of changing bandages each night is most exhausting although it is currently down to an hour or so, an improvement on 3+ hours each evening when they were really bad before she went on the first two courses of antibiotics.
This weekend I am not looking forward to it...... Mother's Day on Sunday..... I miss her so much.... I never thought I would miss a mother so much but I do.... all these health issues with Sally flaring up after her death with no one else to help me. It is going to be a very depressing weekend, there is no other way to look at it. We used to go down to Mother's on Sunday afternoon of Mother's Day for afternoon dinner - those days are gone. I guess there is nothing more to be said...... she died early in 2011 so this will be the 2nd Mothers Day without her......... *sigh*
We had a bit of rain but it is all sunny again.........
