A fresh new look

Decided that it was time for a fresh new change but still hold the original feel :-)

Hope everyone's keeping well and haven't caught the nasty nastry virus that has been going around. For us as noted below it seems to be a vicious perpetual cycle that as soon as one person gets sick in our home it goes around and somehow must mutate as you seem to get it again a few weeks later.
But we're all on the recovery trail.

virus

Unsure how long I'll be able to stay on line or if this blog will be affected.
But somewhere somehow my computer has received a nasty little virus that disables my internet and slows many of my functions. My fault for not keeping up to date with new virus protection software.
For any regular readers to my blog wondering where I may have got to well this is it so I'll Make this update quick

Maks Update June 26th 2006

As you may have seen on a previous blog that maks had the flu, well while she did get better, a few weeks back I noticed that she had unfortunately and to my dismay picked up a coldsore from her daycare centre. This only got worse and she got several mouth olcers that upset her intensely and only to add to this she was diagnosed with possibly asthma which deeply hurt me to hear. But the doctor said to me that its something that she may potentially grow out of with any luck.
She's a true trooper tho but did fight to take her medicine but once she gets that taste for it she calms down and takes it in her stride.
We had a terrible scare a week ago when I came home during my lunch break and noticed that she had a rash localised to her right hand wrist that gave me some concern so I had my mom pop down to the doctors again to get them checked out. I received a call half an hour later from mom saying that they were taking her to startship hospital in an ambulance. Ambulance and Hospital are two things a parent doesn't want to hear in regards to their child. I was on another sales call at the time and almost couldn't finish the call but once clear I emailed Donne and we headed straight up to the hospital a little distraught but strong in will for our daughter. When we met up with mom at the hospital she was absolutely exhausted and wasn't keen to take any fluids which only made us worry more but the doctors assured us she was ok and just to make sure she gets fluids.
We returned home to my place to further watch over her and get her some fluids and much rest.
All n all she's much on the road to recovery getting back to her usual self slowly but surely.

Shanks

Golf is a game that can't be won, only played. Monday brought the realisation that a bad round of golf beats a good day in the office as I stood out there on the fairway playing poorly. Lost all aspects of the game whether short, long or mid it just wasn't there and ended the day 10 strokes over my course handicap. Needless to say that my day didn't go nearly to plan and walked away very disappointed with myself. But that's golf, you play against yourself and no-one else and is the only game you can call a penalty on yourself if your honest.
If your out to play a fun round of golf you have to remember to go through your check lists and figure out where your going wrong which I failed to do and only reminded when I visited my golf shop this morning to price out some new clubs. Whilst there I also recieved some very good putting tips which should help my game on Saturday as Jase and i once again visit Gulf Harbour.
