In which nothing interesting happens...

Tori pointed out that I have been very slack at blogging lately, so I thought it was probably time to post a little note. Unfortunately, there really isn't much to write about. The last month or so has been extremely busy at work because we are in the middle of devil breeding season and were a couple of devil keepers down. You wouldn't think that breeding season would make all that much of a difference to the amount of work it takes to care for a population of captive devils, but you would be wrong. On the positive side, if the matings were successful, one of our girls was due to give birth on Tues and another one yesterday. Now we just have to wait a month until we can do a pouch check to find out.

After a ridiculously busy month of working too much, I then managed to get 5 whole days off in a row which I spent split between getting a heap of little errands done at home and spending time relaxing in Devonport with Rob. I finally got to play some Monkey Island (my very favouritist computer game ever) with him after nagging him about it for at least a year and we all had a very delicious afternoon tea at Anvers to celebrate Mum's birthday.

Right now, I am currently having a bit more time off work, but this time its because I've come down with the cold. My boss agreed with me that it would be better if I didn't infect the rest of his work force after I threatened to sneeze on him on Tuesday so I spent all of yesterday in bed. When I woke up on Tuesday morning I had a sore throat and thought I might be coming down with something, but after being at work for less than an hour, I had properly come down with the cold and I probably should have gone home again, but as we were busy I stayed to help (wow, that's a bad run-on sentence). By the time we finished I felt like death and just wanted to go to sleep. Unfortunately, I didn't manage that very well and kept sneezing myself awake all night. So, consequently, I spent all of yesterday nodding off and missing big chunks of the audio book I was listening to. I don't feel much better today, but as I actually slept last night, I decided it was probably time to have a shower and get dressed. So here I am, showered, dressed, and seriously considering going back to bed :)
