Poor sleep last night, bubs fever has broken but she looks to be developing a rash, that is consistent with the beginning of the measles rash. She is still asleep at the moment, will check it again when she wakes up. There has been a measles warning put out on the sunshine coast and although she is fully immunised it does not mean she won't get it.
Gaaaa I hate dealing with people on the internet sometimes
I had a stupid woman joke about putting kids on ADHD medication on a lifting forum, I posted to explain that somebody with the condition does more than just "fidget" and extra "recess time" would not fix the problem. She went on to accuse me of being over sensitive because "it was just a joke" This is the big excuse used by internet bullies, at no time will I ever let somebody put down my kids, kids like mine or any kid for that matter without saying anything. I would have expected better from somebody claiming to be a teacher.
Bub is covered in red rash but at least she seems to be back to here normal self. Time to go cook something to eat before I snack on something I shouldn't.

As a teen I copped a lot of bullying, but the kids these days cannot get away from it like those of us who are from a time prior to the internet.
I have to laugh when I see those from my past who bullied me the most posting anti bully messages knowing they still have the attitudes they always did.
Being the weekend and a public holiday tomorrow we cannot get to see our GP, spoke to a Nurse at 1800health just keeping her under observation at home but she fits the infection pattern for measles with the high temps then having the fever break before the rash started on her face and then spread to the rest of her body. She should start to see the rash start to clear today or tomorrow and is probably no longer infectious. This most infectious time is before the rash appears and your unaware of the possibility of measles. If the rash clears in the next couple of days we may never know if it is measles or some other virus.

It's good that you can laugh at them now. I'm not sure I could.
"It was just a joke, lighten up" seems to be the excuse of every horrible person on the internet ever. Except of course if you HAD pretended to find it funny they would have felt they were among like-minded people and the next "joke" would have been even less funny. So thank you for speaking up.

Always just gotta hope for the best, hopefully you’ll be able to figure out exactly what it was for future reference
Bub has been much more of her usual self and the rash has faded a little.
Today's physical activities has been replacing the guttering on one side of the house. Not that there is any rain forecast any time in the near future, but the old guttering was developing a couple of rust holes and we need to get as much water as possible into the tank when it finally does rain. We are low but not critical after having to use 3000 litres to refill our treatment plant after it needed pumping out.
We rely on water from a 23000 Litre rainwater tank for the house, with a couple of small tanks attached to sheds, one of which needs replacing so I have bathroom and kitchen facilities for my home gym.
Had a couple of pieces of porterhouse to eat tonight and if I get a chance will hit the bike for a bout of cardio. Tomorrow I will be in the gym for a lifting session.

I'm really glad to hear it. A good night to both of you, and totally healthy tomorrow!
Replacing guttering on one whole side of the house sounds a big job. Do I gather you have a home water treatment plant? Is that for dam water? We're on tank water too, in the house, except for the toilet which uses Murray river water. I used to say "I live in a country so rich that we use drinking water to flush the toilet!" - but I suspect that in coming decades that might change. In fact, already there's toilets where the hand-washing water in an attached basin goes into the cistern to be next time's flushing water.
We use tank water for everything, the dam is too far down a big hill to be of use for house water needs.
The treatment plant is for our waste waste water, septic systems were phased out when we built the house 15 years ago. The waste water then gets pumped onto some trees

Just done my subject enrolments for 1st semester next year, I will be studying introduction to human behaviour as well as "Outdoor and Travel" which consist of learning to lead Hiking and paddling activities etc including all the safety aspects of leading groups in a bush environment.
All the subjects I am most interested in are only 2nd semester subjects so my choices for first half of next year were limited. So these two will just broaden my knowledge base before I do more specialty subjects.
