Did some work - but felt really crap with my arm so had Julie drive us up to mums. Mum saw my arm and admitted me to Caboolture hospital - saw a young guy who was apparently 16 but looked much, much older in the fast track wait room. The doctor had really big blue eyes

Went to the doctor to have the sore on my arm looked at. Had a pretty Filipino nurse clean it up for me.

Went to uncle Bill's to see mum - AJ played with Banksy, their grandchild. Kai loved the red pedal car under their stairs 

Saturday 11th December, 2021

Woke up in the night after Kai was sick - it was a solid patch of food and looked really weird. Took the boys to Yum Cha at Chermside - it wasn't very good, and AJ didn't eat so I took him outside worried he'd be sick.

EoW where I ran through the experience visions - the video quality was rubbish and it was a disappointing showing.
