Mixed bag...

Wednesday, 10 December 2008

Today was a bit of a mixed bag... some ups... some downs... some lefts... some rights... ok.... that was a little bit dodgy but just not sure where to start! At the risk of this becoming the 'L' only blog I'll proceed with my day. I attended the Green Business conference today which was a bonus - time off work - free food - learning about climate change, what more could you ask for? Unfortunately the conference turned out to be almost exactly the same as every other green business conference I've ever been to - but I may have potentially generated some Green Card clients so all was not lost. It finished a little earlier than anticipated so I had time to drop in on Mag Nation on the way back... as well as passing the doughboy donut store for some 'homer style' donuts for Ganesh (not that he eats anything sweet but if it's Homer related I may have a chance of corrupting his palette)... As I was in the area I stopped at the blood bank to make a donation but to my horror discovered that my heamoglobin had dropped from previously 144 to a sobering 112... I am no longer eligible to donate blood! Clearly this has everything to do with my starting full time working with daily overtime, stopping all exercise and gaining 10kg, but it was quite a shock! The nurse sent some blood off for an iron test and apparently I'm supposed to start eating red meat which conflicts significantly with my environmental vegetarianism... All hope is now pinned on bike riding to work from the new house!

Arriving at home, G and I had a bit of a disagreement that lasted longer than it should have.. and there was some more work updating websites etc... but all is well now and we're listening to Creedance Clearwater Revival extracts on the iTunes store!

Btw please vote on my entries into the ING my dream is competition:

• Creative Recycling business funding


• Solar eclipse trip


• Solar panels for the new house


• To win $10000

Ok I know they are pretty lame, but you've got to be in it to win it, right?

Note - it's a cookies based voting system... and cookies aren't registered if you vote with google chrome incognito... Just an observation... Not suggesting anything dodgy ;-)
