Well done on getting thru the AC @lorns - and wishing you the best on the Taxol xx.
Bummer about the cold and a middle ear infection - I hope you've got them under control now. There may be some 'ear bugs' going around too - one of my buddies up here has a bad ear infection too - and his balance is all off whack & he has major dizziness as well & currently not allowed to drive! :( He'll be on the antibiotic drops for ages, I believe!
Your weekend with the girls sounds AMAZING!!! Well done you!!

Putting on the weight is a real pain :( And I hope you DO go to the beach & enjoy your swimming ... just putting on a swim cap should make you look more like a triathlete xx. SO funny how swim caps were 'old fashioned' until sportsmen and women started wearing them again!! If you head is cold, wear x 2! (A triathlete trick!)
Where abouts are you? Looks like it is either northern NSW or southern Qld? You can add it to your 'profile' and others in the area may be able to point you towards local groups that may benefit you xx
How did you go at the 'Look Good, Feel Better' Group? I attended one last year in Vic when I had a weekend retreat ... I've never been a make-up girl - so it was quite fun, getting glammed up for a change ....
take care, let us know how you go with everything - and always remember - rants are good xx
