Anniversary, bushfires, and dengue fever

Matt and I have been together 18 months today, but we were kind of distracted by the fires in Victoria and by finding out I have, not a cold, but dengue fever. Oops.

What’s most upsetting about the bushfires is that people are saying – just like they said about the Canberra bushfires six years ago – is that it came out of nowhere, they felt they didn’t have warning, etc. I find this very difficult to take.

Late edit: Matt brought me a box of chocolates! Awww. The world’s gone to hell, I’m sick, but hey, we have chocolates.
