• One Thing After Another

  So, managed to fix the email system.  Turns out that for some reason, the DNS settings had been reset to defaults-- just had to point them in the right directions and then everything was fine after a few hours of resolving.

   

  I caught a cold somehow (I say this is strange, because it's summer in Australia).  Because of this, I've missed out on a couple of judo opportunities and a badminton opportunity.  Worse still, [CM] got sick as well-- and for all the stress of med school, it's just 23478% worse when you're also sick.  But that's not all.

  I got her some medicine from the pharmacy-- cough syrup and some aspirin basically.  She's apparently never had aspirin in her life.  Then for some reason, she had an allergic reaction!! To be honest, I was pretty scared, despite knowing form experience that as long as the airway is good, it's not too big a deal.  Her eyes were swelling up and all red, looking like she was in the 9th round of a heavyweight boxing match. There wasn't so much swelling that she couldn't see, but her eyes were only about half as open as they normally were. Thankfully we had some antihistamines, which slowed the process down a bit.  No throat swelling either.  But it was very uncomfortable, and even now, about 24 hours later, there's still a bit of swelling (although it's mostly gone).

   

  Man, when life gets you down, it really tries to finish you off.
