So busy no time to blog, the ASX share game of course and the Westpac share game. Away to the country for a wedding at the weekend and meeting our gorgeous great nephews, grandchild envy again. Town looking very prosperous since I was last there. Big uts everywhere, CUBS my daughter said, cashed up bogans. Coal mines have been paying well, unlike nursing but we come into our own in the bad times, so I dont worry thats how it goes, anyway they just seem to have piles of junk. I'm glad we cant afford all that.
Came 2nd at golf today and playing better need discipline and toughness at golf which does me good in life.
Obcessed with playing Mario Galaxy too takes me ages to get the levels but finally get there bit by bit.

Not a great week in my village. Local retired doc had a stroke, another local died, friends father in hospital with a stroke, and lady down the road suicided in the park next to the school, lucky a relation found her not children. Glad I dont have to tell my mother that news, she knew her well.
Funny I had a sort of obcessed with suicide week. I wonder if everyone remembers the first person they knew who commited (funny word for it) suicide. I was away from home for the first time failing nursing in another state, my mother wrote me that a classmate of my sisters had shot herself in her parents garage. I thought about what that must have been like for her family and everyone close, even at my distance and in this distant I still think about her and wonder why and how things were so bad. I told myself for years that it must have been an accident but my mother said it wasnt she put the gun together. It haunts me too because I go to the house she lived in friends live there. They dont know, as far as I know, not something you can ask about. Its hard to remember how bad you can feel after you feel better.

Golf yesterday and golf this morning. Before I went phone call from nursing unit manager we are frantic you have to come to work now (I am rostered for night duty) I said I cant come now I am playing golf. Well you are being redeployed from nights to PM shift. What I said with 6hrs notice I cant do that i am busy all day. Its an emergency she said i can make you work overtime in an emergency. I had a feeling if i went I would still be working the night as well. I said short staffed is not an emergency more like a normal day. I was getting very mad so got off the phone before something said. Rang back and left a msg that I would not be able to work afternoon but I would be there on my rostered shift. I will see what happens. I think she has designated me the next sucker on her long list of people she has preyed on. She uses their goodness and their guilt. One of the saints now escaped her told me she rang her to work and when she said she couldnt because she was minding her baby, the Num said to leave it with the Num's 60 yr old husband and come to work. There are so many problems in that place and they fake a few meetings but nothing changes. I think it is quite dangerous.
Well the quiet patches never last, always so rubbish going on so I will see what happens next.
