Hamilton Bound

Yesterday, Mum, Lucy and I set off for Hamilton to see Thomas and give him a "care package". We had great burgers from Burger Fuel. They were enormous and well made. I apologise for the complete lack, of updates.

Update
``````````

I recently had a set of follow-up xrays, because my back was hurting so bad.
I think that the Doctor has my xrays now.

Dad recently did a bike ride called the Odyssey which can be found on his blog.

One of the best news, the Youth Minimum wage went up finally, so I am earning more per hour.

I made a change at work with my position, I now float between Forecourt (pumping gas) and Kitchen (making burgers and fries). I thoroughly enjoy the Kitchen.

Finally - Dear old Smokey the Cat was given the injection and "put to sleep"

Auckland Day 2

I had one hell of a sleep. The bed was too short and the traffic flow was almost constant. We had a great breakfast at a place called Kenzies before proceeding to Starship. After a bit of confusion at an intersection we found ourselves on the right road. We arrived with time to spare which proved useful as we ended up having to wait an hour for some more X-Rays. The X-Rays didn't take too long, and I was sent back upstairs to await the specialist. Bristling with anticipation I found that the specialist was a nice man. We discussed the pros and cons of the surgery and not having the surgery. We also talked about the complications that could arise. I have already decided I am going to go "Under The Knife". We also met the Spine Nurse, a very nice lady by the name of Tina, she went over the surgical preparation, recovery periods and such. Leaving Auckland we stopped at the Autobahn Cafe just off the Motorway. We stopped at Thomas' flat to retrieve his bike and some CD's. We had a nice dinner of takeaways pizza and chips. After that I went over to Grandma's and went over the whole days events, and had some more dinner with them.

Auckland Day 1


Welcome to Hobbiton, originally uploaded by enetheru_2006.

Today was clearace day at School. I got all my school subjects signed off and recieved my school magazine. At 1:50 I hauled myself off the couch and drove back to school where I initiated a luggage transfer from mum's car to dad's car, before depositing mum's car at Kurt's. At was after two -which happened to be the time we planned to leave- when we finally left school. We had a slight delay at BP when Dad started talking about Bus Routes. At long last we were underway. It was smooth sailing ahead albeit a hot sailing. Delays were still present, in the form of Roadworks. We stopped in Matamata -or Hobbiton to all those tolkein fiends out there- for a lunch break. Upon hitting the motorway there was a bit of indecision about which exit to take. We eventually settled on Newmarket which took us almost entirely to our Hotel. We stayed in a fairly nice hotel, The Kingsgate Parnell. We had a delicious dinner at what looked like a small family run Italian Restaurant, an absolutely delicious Sirloin Steak. Further up the road I had a delicious Caramel Frappé at a place called The Chocolate Boutique. There Dad and I debated about whether or not we knew the girl who was serving is. Turned out we did. After feeling slightly bloated we began to walk back to the hotel whilst sipping our drinks. Sitting in my bed I could hear the almost constant flow of traffic outside my window thundering along Gladstone Road. I wasn't too concerned because I was unsure how much sleep I would actually get.
