I've had a shocking couple of weeks. It is quite amusing now that I look back at it however here is the sequence of events making up the worst two weeks I have had in a long time.

Starts off - I had to travel to a remote mine site about 800kms away from where I work.
No problem until I was driving home and a truck flicked up a rock and completely smashed my windscreen.
I hardly had time to touch the brakes before the wind pressure (travelling at 130km/hr) blew out my rear window as well.
So I had to travel the remaining 600kms at 70 km/hr in 42C heat mind you, as travelling any faster was quite painfull. (Hitting grasshoppers and other assorted insects at such speeds is not fun - as any motocycle riders will know too well).

So I got home about 5 hours late - with third degree windburn and a foul temper.
Go to the fridge and "NO BEER"
Anyhow after a quick trip down to the store to get some beers, things were looking up.

Then I woke up at midnight feeling sick as a dog. Great.... Its the middle of summer and I get the bloody Flu!
I progressively get sicker throughout the night and wake up with tonsils the size of a grapefruit.

I struggle on for a few days and start to feel a bit better when I get a real itchy left eye and a few hours later green pus starts weeping out of it.
Ring up the doctor to make an appointment. "Sorry we are booked out until thursday (4 days away) but you can come in at 5pm for the walk in clinic - first in best dressed"

Finally after two hours waiting for the doctor and reading every single gossip magazine in the waiting room ( If I ever hear about Brad and Angolinas adopted children again I am going to scream) I get in to see the doctor.
Verict is conjunctivitis. Nice - get some eye drops and off to bed. Wake up in the morning with both sets of eye lids glued together with dried up pus and gunk. I looked like a heroin addict that had gone 9 rounds with George Foreman.

Few days later Squid is on the mend and flys down to Perth for the company christmas party.
All goes well until about 1:30am when I have had way two many pints of Becks - I get a call on my mobile from the manager of one of the companies I do work for.
Appears I have left my phone unlocked and with it moving around in my pocket I have inadvertantly sent him over 80 blank text messages. DOH
He was not impressed to say the least...... And his wife was spewing.

Time to lay low for a few days I think.

Anyhow - glad to get that off my chest. I suppose it doesnt sound that bad - but it was a bad run of luck for me.
I just wish I had taken a photo of my eyes with green pus weeping out to show yas all.

All you need now is for your Mother-in-Law to come and stay for Christmas............

Tonsils the size of grapefruit... :S

Driving a wind tunnel at 42ºC! (107ºF), not to mention the fun of losing the windshield to a rock, then "pink eye" too?

Then the cell thing... Just too funny on top of the others. All I have to say is Happy New Year! (it has to be better than thoses weeks, eh?) Hang in there, Squiddy!

Why no mention of your bout with gonorrhea?

A wallaby is for lookin' not for lovin' Squid.

When you windshields were broken t'was easy to fix - use plywood sheets. I do it all the time.

Uhhh... Gross.....?

Wow you make me feel better... I have a fever for two days went to bed at 11...woke up in the night at 12:00 2:03 and 3:05.

I think a have a fungus growing in my tongue (ate rotten meat...). Any way its swollen up and is in the back of the tongue.
It sucks because every time I swallow it hurts really bad.... Its hard to eat and I have to try to not swallow my spit... I can hardly even drink...

But yours sounds worse....

Just remember the sun is shining even on cloudy day....

Peace

@ROGUE - wallaby's tails get in the way mate - so not a chance.

@Hugo - good tip thanks, although the nearest plywood was about 600kms away LOL.

@PEST - mother in law lives about 10 minutes away, but we piss each other off so much we stay out of each others way.

Merry CHristmas !

Wow... Those weeks are impressively bad.

:)

Ho ho ho... Merry christmas
