Chicken Soup

How good is chicken soup & snuggling up in your doona!! I was so cold yesterday I had goose bumps on my arms. On the bright side though it's been months since I've been able to pull the doona up & snuggle in, it only lasted about a hour then my body started to feel normal again & I had to kick off the doona cause it was so hot.

On yeah, I cancelled my massage & went home at lunch time. I ended up sleeping for a couple of hours yesterday afternoon & felt so much better when I woke up. I think the chicken soup had something to do with it :)

My friend Jens form Germany called last night. He's so cool, I met him in the Northern Territory. He comes back to Australia in 2 weeks so I'm going to go down to Melbourne to see him & meet his girlfriend, plus I want to do the party thing in Melbourne. The clubs are supposed to go off!

Mal lives about 3 hours form Melbourne so I'm gonna go visit him too. I'll book my ticket today for around the 17th of March & stay for 4 or 5 days. It's a bit exciting!

Last night I was in bed by 10.30 but I just couldn't get to sleep. The last time I looked at the clock it was 11.45. I was thinking way to much about stuff.
For instance:

 My bank account & wondering how much they'll charge me for over sea's withdrawals then wondering if in South America if the ATM's are all networked up to Oz.

 Then wondering how much I should get changed in to travellers cheques.


 Credit cards & that I should probably apply for a new one so I've got 2.

 That I have to photocopy, my passport & visa... who I need to give copies to.

 Then thinking about what CDs I should buy for the trip. Which made me go back to the whole MP3 or palm pilot argument to which I then settled back on a CD player.

 Then to thinking about the bra's & underwear that I'm taking with me.

 Then to thinking about compression bags & sleeping bags & clothes & things I'm taking with me.

 Then about breaking in my hiking boots (which are heaps more comfortable btw)

 Then to thinking about buying my pack.

 Then about having to pick up my new shoes form the shoe repairs cause I got them stretched a little.

 Then to thinking about my friends wedding.

 Then to thinking about having to go to the library & having to do a bit more research into where I'm actually going.

 Then about the garage sale I'm going to have in a few weeks.

 Then about my yellow fever shot which I 'm getting at the travellers medical centre & that they sell first aid kit's & water purification tablets which I need to buy & that maybe they'll let me know if I should actually spend the extra $300 & get the rabies shots....

 Then trying to figure out the sequence of events for the weekend of 5 March till 7 March. Last day of work - 5 March, big night, Friends hens night - 6 March, Mal's also taking about coming up that weekend with the boy I 'got with' (that sounds so 15year oldish) form Surfers. Then wondering if Surfers boy will expect something to happen, cause not sure where I stand on that... Oh & it's also 'the boy's' birthday & he's like "you have to come, it's going to be a 2 day/night thing, I'll even pay for you..."

Plus about a million more things....
