What's new on Planet Gees??

Greetings my dears

Long time, no posting, I know... It's been rather a hectic, no, CRAZY few months. :-S

Don't really have time to go into details right this minute, so, here's the nutshell version-

~ Miss C, bless her cotton socks, felt it was necessary for my iPhone 3GS to go for a swim in the toilet (more on that later)

~ My Dad was hospitalised on his 71st birthday, 1300kms away in Far north QLD

~ last two weeks of Term 2 spent madly scrambling to locate suitable accommodation in the 'berg as well as trying to get NQ health professionals to communicate with counterparts down here (!!!)

~ duration of the Term 2 holidays was spent travelling to far NQ to pack and move Dad, take over his affairs as EPOA, set up in the new digs, find a new GP etc

~ turn around, scratch my head and BANG! The holidays are over and done with, hi-ho, it's back to work I go..

~ the whole family (except yours truly) comes down with a nasty cough/cold virus that just keeps hangin on forever..

~ Dad ends up in hospital  for five weeks for a number of reasons, one of which saw us awaiting an 
aged care assessment for him...

~ My big girl turned 5 and I moved another step closer to middle age (what IS the official yard stick for middle age??) 

~ did some furniture swapping and purging clutter (still more to do there!)

~ held TWO Tupperware parties!!!! Both a great success ;-) 

~ Dad was FINALLY discharged home with services in place to help take the worry and pressure off 
my shoulders a little.

~ went to a Graeme Connors concert for the first time- wow! 

~ after twenty plus years, finally got the chance to spend some time with my Dad on my birthday AND Fathers Day. For the first time since Mum passed away, I feel so much more content now that my Dad is just a short drive down the road. Its like we can pick up where we left off so long ago. Praise God!

~ lots of laughter, grins and gritted teeth later, I'm here, looking forward to a quick break in the september holidays.

I will be back to fill in some of the gaps. In the mean time,

TGBTG
