Can Ear Piercing Bring on Vomiting?

It has pretty much belted down with rain all night again. It's hard to believe that the forecasters can be right so many day in a row. Almost unbelievable really.
I was hoping to see some cricket this morning from the Windies, but it has been raining over there too, with Australia 3/73 in the 2nd innings, a lead of 124 with one day remaining. Hard to see a result other than a draw now, but you never know. Good to see Nathan Lyon finished with his second 5-fa in Test cricket, and that Ricky is 34 not out.

Robyn was back this morning after two days of Troy minding. She showed off some photos of his face after his operation. He looked as though he'd been in a brawl. Still, better that and having had the cancer cut out than the alternative. The nurse told him if he hadn't had it done, he probably wouldn't have been around in 12 months time. Scary.

Work was slow accordingly with the rain. Need to start getting these stock counts sorted for EOFY, even though that is ten weeks away. With the staff changes at yards again, my routine is shot to pieces, and I'll need to get on top of that again soon. Monday, maybe...

Helen took herself and the girls off to get their ears pierced this morning. I had been against it. Six to eight months ago when it had been discussed, we agreed (I thought) that the girls could have heir ears pierced when they turned ten years old. However, when Helen decided that she wanted hers done when she turned 40, and the girls showed some enthusiasm to have theirs done, she decided that it would be great for all three of them to have them done at the same time. The girls enthusiasm ebbed and waned over that time, but they had all now decided they wanted to. Yes, I was still against the idea, but it was out of my hands.

Helen rang me at 1.00pm to say they were home. Jessie had worked herself up so much that she vomited in the chair while her ears were being done, and they had to get her cleaned up. Maddi (as was expected) burst into tears as she was about to have hers done. Helen said the girl who did the three of them was very good, and talked to them about their holiday and other stuff to take their minds off it.

Anyway, they are done, and now they can begin the two months of sterilisation and twirling to keep the holes intact. Good luck with that, dearies!

Dinner tonight was home made mini pizzas. Mine had pretty much everything on it that I'm not supposed to be eating. Probably why it tasted so good.
