Poor form

Who'da thunk it? The night before our video conference, Zem tripped over and put some teeth through his bottom lip. Zem moaned through the night because of it. He also developed a sore, dry throat. His cough was such a 'bark' that Shar and I were beginning to get concerned. We had to force him to have water, and he didn't want to eat his food in the morning. So between the sore throat, runny nose, fat lip, and little sleep, it was amazing to me if our consultant 'Cindy', could find anything useful in what he did. Zemmy just did not 'perform' at all. Add to this, I forgot to bring with me the list of goals I had for Zem, so when I was asked I floundered around a bit. Sure, everyone has a bad day sometime, but does it really have to be on the first day? The facilities at the Bowen TAFE are great and the session was easy to manage. Cindy was good to talk to and we will likely be getting a pack of resources in the mail soon.

We travelled to Mackay this afternoon. It is beginning to amaze me that everytime we decide to travel to Mackay the sky opens up and drops a flood of water on the land. Another interesting thing is, just before entering Proserpine we heard and felt a heavy bump under our car. When we pulled up to look at what had happened, we discovered the pointy end of a screwdriver sticking out of the side skirting. It was just long enough to perhaps touch the bitumen and flick up. Praise to God for keeping our car safe from random screwdrivers and in heavy rain.
