Wordless Wednesday.

Busy, crafting

another call the midwife blanket done. This one has a different boarder 

I’ve started this blanket for melody. It’s a pink sparkly yarn and the pattern is a square from a CAL 

Called stardust melodies. It’s one of many but I’m just going to keep going and make one big square 

I hope she likes it 

Our travel buddies are leaving Friday to head up north. We leave two Fridays after that 

So in the next day or so I’ll get hubby to park the van out the front and I’ll start to organise it 

I’ll go through all the packet food to see the use by dates, and work out what I need 

And slowly get it packed and ready to go 

Today I put in a suspension at the pool to begin when we go and last until a few days after we get back 

So suddenly this holiday is very very real and coming fast 

I look forward to escaping the winter and heading north to the warmer weather.

Not like me at all really, is it lol 

But looks like I’m getting older and really feeling it 

Hope your life blissfully busy 

See ya xxx

I guess it serves me right

I’ve been doing too much, and I’ve been going for too long 

I forget, when I’m feeling good, that I’m not your normal healthy person 

I forget, in the midst of my day to day life, that if I over do I will pay dearly

I forget, in my arrogance, that I do not own my body. But that the monster inside me does 

So today I’m paying for it 

All these symptoms and a few more 

So I’ve looked in the mirror and told myself. 

How stupid were you  

I will rest today 

I will nurture myself 

And I will try to be kind 

I hope I will at lest be over the pain by tomorrow, the fatigue I can push past. 

But the pain, it’s soul destroying 

Well it is today 

Progress

I’ve put all books and DVDs away 

Omg. So many books, photo albums, and DVDs 

But lots of boxes have been emptied. 

I’ll be able to go into my sewing room now and organise that, give it a good clean and maybe get back to some crafting 

But not today 

I’ve done something terrible to my left knee, I’m limping and I can’t bend it 

So I think I may soak in a bubble bath, then put on my pjs and relax for the rest of the day! 

Another step closer to being done 

See ya xxx

Installation complete

Last week book cases were put together but didn’t have doors on them 

They weren’t bolted to the wall either 

So Chris our wonderful friend came over to help finish them off 

There was a lot of discussion on which was the best way to attack the job 

Eventually it was decided to just take one book case down at a time and instal the doors 

 There is a centre thin unit that won’t have a door. It was placed in the centre of the 

Wall and bolted into place. 

We then began assembling the doors and fixing them onto the book cases 

First one took the longest. With the the last one hardly taking any time at all 

Finished 

Now my job to arrange the shelves and put everything away 

But I’ll start that either tomorrow or during the week 

Kneeling down and bending over has hurt my back 

In fact my knee made a very worrying sound, twice! 

So it’s currently up and resting 

What do you think? 

I love it. It’s exactly what I wanted 

More progress. Soon it will all be done 

See ya xxxx

Consequences

This is Agatha. Agatha loves to lay around, especially in front of the fire 

She also loves to give me hair makeovers while I sleep! 

But Agatha had decided she doesn’t like to be brushed 

She slowly slowly has just become too hard to brush and groom 

So this is Agatha now 

Been to the vet, had her fur shaved off and her nails clipped. 

Remember the hair styling while I sleep. Well her nails really don’t feel nice on my head! 

So right now Agatha doesn’t like me very much. Which is fine 

I mean I have starved her since six last night, too her far away from the fire and made her go through 

The indignity of being totally shaved 

And to top it off I won’t let her go outside or eat anything until five!

I can give her a little water, but right now she won’t come near me 

Oh well. She doesn’t look like she’s starving to me lol 

All actions have consequences. Now maybe we can get back to letting mummy brush her 

See ya xx
