Redid school home page

I redid the school home page today. Changed the layout and the photos. Someone thanked me for doing it. I really appreciated that.

Over the weekend we went to the NGA and of course saw Blue Poles. Very positive reaction. Isaw the orange as threads, holding my life together. Much comforted.

Finally an app for blogging

Have not been posting much as my downtime is with my iPad and when I am on the computer I am working. However, I heard on the podcast iPad Today about blogging apps and I got this one.

The RPAH Strict Elimination diet has been fantastic. Doc wonders how I could stick to it. Two things: it has made such a difference to me and I have been on Weight Watchers for years and am used to watching what I eat. I have progressed on the diet and can now have amines. So the funny thing is that I now eat foods I would not consider on Weight Watchers - Whittiker's dark chocolate is my fav snack.

RPAH Strict Elimination Diet

Back in February, I went to the RPAH Allergy Unit to be assessed by the doctors there. I don't appear to have an allergy but I have been on the Strict diet for several months now, and it has made a real difference. The website is http://www.sswahs.nsw.gov.au/rpa/allergy/. I have noticed a real increase in energy, and rate the change as significant.

I am very tired today, due to a throat infection - and also it is freezing!

Great Discovery

Just found a website that lists 25 places to get free photos on the web.

Wow. Every teacher's dream.

http://tutorialblog.org/25-places-to-find-awesome-stock-photos-%E2%80%94-free-and-cheap/ Very impressed.

I use Morgue File all the time, and have recently dared to put a few of my own photos up there.

I am very up and down this week. It is driving me nuts! I am sick then well, tired then full of energy. No consistency!!! Maybe it is the hot weather.

Praying for the people of North Queensland tonight. Particularly the children.

pointed ad

Just found the ME/CFS Worldwide Patient Alliance. Looks interesting. Particularly their ad in the Washington Post.

I have reproduced it below by taking a screen shot of it. I hope that that is allowed. If you click on the picture you can read the writing.

Still love my iPad all these months later. After the last post I spent about three months being really sick. I still taught college, but I couldn't do extras like this blog. Then when I was a bit better, I had to catch up on work that I was behind with, so that everything could get done by the end of the year.

I flew to Queensland to see my parent's in law for Christmas. I flew!!! I was so scared but the people at Qantas were so helpful and amazing with their kindness and care for me, my wheelchair and my husband. I booked three seats across so that I could spend the time in flight with my legs up across the seats.

One of the most beautiful photographs I have ever seen I found in the Eyewitness app in my iPad. I don't think I can embed it here, but it is on the Guardian Website. Wish they made it easier to purchase photos, but it appears to be a very complicated process.

Something I have been meaning to mention is that I bought iBallz for my iPad. I watched the video below and decided that they were just what I needed.


I have been very happy with them, although they make the iPad bulky, but at least it is still unharmed and working well seven months after I bought it. I am not well at present. Am trying to prepare for Ignite in Sydney, but am really sick this week and not getting much done. Thank goodness I did an outline of the 20 Slides while I was in Qld.

Hopefully I will post a photo from my m-i-l's garden here soon. It was a really joyful experience being in her garden.
