Today had three injections, one in each arm and one in my thigh, for three vaccinations to build immunity against six different diseases.
Of course, the injections sucked, and I’m now a bit achey, but it’s for a good reason – going overseas in three weeks! And I did get a lollypop, sooo…
One of the shots was the Flu vaccine, to hopefully prevent against the same thing happening to me as little Norm here…
Few bad and sad things have happened this week.
In my world, someone close to me crashed her car on Wednesday. She’s okay, relatively speaking, but needed surgery on a broken bone last night. So I visited her in hospital this afternoon and will go again tomorrow morning. Hopefully she gets better quickly. I chose this little sloth (Monster, courtesy of Primatography) to post today, because she is holding a pair of glasses, which reminded me of this person who I treasure so much.
In the wider world, we woke up to the terrible news this morning of the tragic passing of Phil Walsh, coach of the Adelaide Crows AFL team. The boy was particularly affected by his death, as he is quite close to the Club. What a horrible thing to happen.
…Things like this just make you remember how precious life is. It should never be taken for granted.
Having a shitty day today. Frustration tears at the office – not a good look. But sometimes can’t be helped. I’ve finally cracked at 4pm and gone downstairs to have a cup of tea. 
I got some sad news yesterday. One of the sloths that I met back in July last year, Al G, passed away after he couldn’t recover from a gastro infection. Now poor Miss C will be all alone. The zookeeper told me when I met them that no more sloths would come into the zoo after these two were gone, so now only the one will be present at Adelaide Zoo.
I was quite upset to hear of this, and only wish him rest in peace. 
This makes me sad 
But he’s still so smiley!
Today is R U OK? Day, a reminder to initiate those difficult conversations about depression, mental illness, and suicide.
This is a huge issue in our society, and all it takes is a few moments out of your day to stop, listen, and actually talk to someone and make them the most important person in your life at that given point. Perhaps give them a hug too!
