I spent my days this week knitting, studying my scriptures, playing the piano and reading on my e-reader. I have set myself up a schedule and it's going really well. I was finding it too easy to just waste the day away and so, putting myself on a schedule, helps me to get a lot of things accomplished. I am doing pretty well on the piano and am starting to play with two hands. The latest song I have learned is 'Oh When The Saints Come Marching In'.
On Wednesday, I started my Auslan (Australian sign language) course online and I am enjoying it so far. I learned how to do fingerspelling and also learned how to say hello, goodbye, how are you, I'm well and I'm not well. I had my first quiz and I got 100% - although, I do have to admit, that I had to look at the people fingerspelling out their names a few times before I could figure out what they were spelling. It is nice that we can take the test until we get 100%.
On Friday, I went to the doctor's to get my stitches out. When the doctor took a look at how the stitches were doing, she told me that there was a little inflammation and asked me to go on antibiotics for three days. She will check the stitches out again tomorrow. My back is still quite tender, so I am looking forward to it healing.
Yesterday, Dad and I went geocaching so that we could drop off a geocaching travel bug which Terri-Ann had found in Orangeville. A travel bug is a trackable tag that you attach to an item and then place into a geocache. Dad looked online and found a geocache not far from the unit here in a place called Gellibrand Hill in Woodlands Historic Park. The geocache was pretty easy to find - it was in a tupperware container under some rocks which were under a bush on the hill. Dad wrote his ID name in the logbook in the container and put the travel bug into the container. It was a little bit of good exercise for us and we have decided that we would like to do some more geocaching. Dad is now looking at some different gps receivers in stores here and online.
After checking out a new local market (which turned out to be not much to write home about), we went to Big W (like Walmart) to buy a bike for me to use when we are here in Melbourne. We chose a very basic bike - an 18 speed one - and a helmet - both are pretty red ones. :-) Dad will have to put the bike together with a few tools, but he won't worry about that for a little bit yet, until my back is feeling better and has healed.
