Well, that 12.6/226 reading was because we had KFC for tea. This normally doesn't go so high, but this time I had a small mashed potato, some chips, and the dinner roll too. I also hadn't had much tea during the afternoon, but my pre-tea reading was 4.9, so it really did take quite a jump. This is the highest reading I've had in the last 60 days. It does kind of prove that I can't be complacent.

My appointment with the Wound Clinic went fine yesterday. There's no real change in the depth of the wound (still 10-12cm) but the outside hole is definitely getting smaller. My next appt for this is in June with the plastics treatment group (they're the original people who did the surgery even though this is FAR from cosmetic or anything lovely looking).

The appt was quite quick and I was really happy that I managed to catch the bus back home within the hour so my ticket didn't get a new mark on it. Sadly though, I'm an IDIOT and for the umpteenth time, I managed to get on the wrong numbered bus so ended up going to Colonnades (the shopping centre at the end of the bus run here in the Southern Suburbs of Adelaide). Now, this wasn't so bad in my book, as I'd kind of wanted to get our weekly shopping done, so I rang Rod and had him get the shopping lists (one for a hardware store, another for groceries) and meet me there. We got the shopping out of the way and bought a sensor light set up for our patio. This way the light comes on with movement and we don't have to turn it off or manually... this is good because the switch for the outside light is in a closet in the laundry room.

This morning 2 of my mothers day gifts arrived. The speakers, and the Dymo LetraTag label maker. Both were quite easy to figure out, and the speakers are lovely. I can now listen to my MP3 player in the bedroom through decent speakers. They're small and they have great sound.

In the Afternoon, I helped a lady from down the road with her computer. She wanted to learn how to burn CDs so she could get her photos to a CD. I found the cause of her previous problems, and was able to help find a way to get the files on the CD in the order she wanted them.

Tonight I finished a book I've been reading on and off for about 3 months now. I've selected another book to read at lunch time, something a bit lighter than what I have been reading.
