I was thinking of calling this post “the final countdown…dodadooooo doooooo…dodadodadooo” but there is still one more weekend before I have to submit my thesis so mustn’t count my chickens too early. (more…)

…I know. I wish I could say the MSc is done and dusted, but no – I have just found other ways to procrasinate. Anyway, the latest is I am now 3 weeks away from my thesis submission deadline… and I have yet to write a complete intro chapter, or any of my discussion chapter. I know, as they say in these parts, I am rooted i.e. stuffed, without a hope, drowning not waving… (more…)
Latest on my MSc July 10, 2006

Ok so its a Monday, and part of my Monday ‘routine’ is figuring out how much labwork I have left to do for my Masters thesis. And the answer is, as usual, about 2-3 weeks to go. AND THAT NEVER CHANGES!
Yes I am the queen of dragging things out, especially those things I most want to NOT be doing. Anyway, today after I figured all this out again, I found a paper listing all the things I had left to do dated the 24th April 2006. So I thought it might be a nice exercise to examine this and determine just how much I have achieved in the last…15 weeks (OMG thats almost 4 months! Eeek!) (more…)

Hi-dee-ho all. Yeah I been absent for awhile. My mum was here recently and then I have been struggling to get back into my routine – if you could call it that 
Ok so this is just a quick post to get my latest stats up:
Wt – 92.1kg (% Body fat – 40.2%)
Ugh, terrible. And i have been feeling terrible too. I think I am pushing a size 20 now since all my pants/jeans hurt me around my abdomen. Its so depressing. And I have been moping around about it too. Can’t say I have moved on yet, but I got up this morning and did some exercise, so I suppose thats a good thing. I only did 21 minutes on my stationary bike, and at the lowest setting. My heart rate maxed out at 141, and my average was 115 bpm. I gotta get it over 120 bpm to make the cardio worthwhile. Oh well its a start I guess.
Anyway I better get ready for work. Catch ya later.
Tidying up… June 25, 2006

Hey all, just a quick one to point out that I have added a special page especially for my kitten Waggles – just click on the tab on my page header above or click here. I kinda wanted to make it like a blog within a blog, with most recent picture posts at the top but haven't figured out how to do that yet (assuming its at all possible in WP).
Also I have tidied up my links in the sidebar. That was a bit overdue. Was looking very cluttered.
Was about to say that there is not much going on at the mo', but that's not strictly correct. (more…)

Ugh… I have had bad stomach and abdominal pain since Sunday evening. Yesterday (Mon) I was in a fair amount of pain all day and stayed at home. Feeling a lot better today, but still have some pain and now a headache. I have managed to come into work this arvo and put an assay on at least. I was planning on staying back late and doing histology, but I am not feeling up to it now. After talking to different people, I think I have caught a stomach bug or something. After a wedding reception I went to on Saturday there were a few people who came down sick on the Sunday, so it may be I got it there. Not food poisoning tho – I didn't get any symptoms until almost 24hours afterwards, and all i had was pain – no vomiting or other nasty stuff. (more…)
Q’s B’Day Weekend Pt 1 June 15, 2006

Hey all, its been awhile since I sat down and took the time to do a proper entry so I am making the time now… Just had to check what my last post was. Its been about 9 days since I wrote anything substantial here – no wonder I couldn’t remember.
Anyway, I said I’d tell y’all about my long weekend just gone. Well it was the Queen’s Birthday Weekend, although I do believe her birthday wasn’t actually this Monday just gone. Whatever – we got Monday off and R and I hired a house out on the East coast and invited a group of friends to join us for 3 nights. I had my god-sister and her fiance come over from the mainland for a mini-break, and there were an additional 5 people who stayed as well. Oh and a kitten

Fat day June 15, 2006

Hey all. I started writing a post earlier, about my long weekend away just gone, and it was turning into a mega post so I just saved it. Now however I am totally not into going back to it. I think I might post it as is after this one and make it a two or three parter.
Read on if you are at all interested in my self-pitying fat day ramblings…
Quick check-in June 13, 2006

Meh, the news from the scale is not good. I have been off the wagon AGAIN….
91.6kg & 40.9% body fat
We just had a long weekend here in Oz, and a group of our friends joined us in a rented holiday house over on the East coast. I will do a round-up of that later this week. That way I have something to show for it other than the extra kilos
Oo, Waggles my kitten is much better now. I think she may be up to posting on her own blog sometime this week. She did my weigh-in with me:
Waggles 1.3kg
Which is no change from just before she got sick 2 weeks ago. Either that or its the default reading on my electronic scales
Ok I gotta get stuck into the lab work. Catch ya later this week.
So much going on! June 6, 2006

I dunno whether to cover it all in one big post or do a couple of smaller posts…hmmm. I am flat out with lab work at the moment so i'll just post what I have written already. Read on to find out more about:
- Update on my broken ankle (overdue I know)
- We had to take a young lady home after she turned up on our doorstep sobbing at 7am in the morning – we think she had her drink spiked while out on the town.
