The Week That Was No:26

Another week done and dusted, so let me start another week that was post. Tim went and picked up Leo and brought him here so he could cut Leo's hair, in order to get rid of his head lice.

So this morning Tasha came down to help me get dressed and get the clothes off the line, while she was here Tim read allowed the text I sent him last night about Kathy. So Tasha sent Kathy a nasty text about the fact that she has a bloody good life and how dare she say otherwise.

Tim went over and got Leo so he could cut Leo's hair. He had to borrow Tasha's hair clippers as his were blunt.

Tim also replaced the bulb in his bike's headlight.

Jessica came over with Kelli and her kids, so I was able to see Freya and give her the elephant I bought her.

It is a cold and wet day, here in my part of Newie.

Monday was another cold and wet morning, Tim on afternoons again. No aqua as it is far too cold. Tasha came up to borrow some liquid paper.

I found myself falling asleep at 9am so I went back to bed for 2hrs.

On Tuesday I had an appointment with the nurse at the doctors surgery. However, when I made the appointment the receptionist stuffed up and made it with Arun. The nurse still did the care plan anyway.

I have had a change in my medication, I know will only take 1 Diamicron daily as well as 1 Forxiga tablet daily and have to checked my blood often each day.

I woke up tired on Thursday morning and ended going back to bed at 8am for two hours. I still felt tired but could at least function.

Felt tired most of the day, had to go for another nap, Leo woke me up when he got home from school.

Friday I slept in till 8am as Leo isn't going to school as he has an appointment with Dr Murry at the John Hunter Hospital.

Jessica arrived at 9am, she called in sick this morning.

Dr Murry was running an hour late, we ended up seeing her registrar but Dr Murry did come in and see us as well.

They now thing Leo may have something called, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome which is something to do with how flexible he is. He is being referred to a specialist about it.

It looks like we may have to go private to have his autism diagnosed. I mentioned it to Tim he wasn't interested but I will speak to him again.

Saturdays morning I went to Charlestown with Kathy and Summer.

Natasha & Kathy patched up their differences and Tasha dyed Kathy's hair.

Last night I had a hypo attack and had to get help from Tasha.

After that I settled down and slept well.

Had another hypo attack Sat night and was in a right mess had to take some honey to make me feel ok. This happened twice.

I sent an email off to the blood glucose company letting them know that I feel the machine is playing up.

I also have rang mum and asked if I could borrow dad's machine to check what that level it shows compared to mine.

Poem Thursday

Well it is late on Thursday afternoon but it is still Thursday so here is this weeks poem thingy.

We are not friends

because of the laughs

we spend, but the tears

we save. I don't want to

be near you for the

thoughts we share but

the words we never

have to speak.

Gross Facts No:19

Hello everyone, it is another cold and wet day.

Leo will be here soonish.

Mum woke me from my nap, with a phone call, she had just received a phone call saying that someone had just logged into her Amazon account, so he just hung up. She doesn't have a Amazon account.

Anyway here are this weeks gross facts.

In 2013 a group of London students opened a restaurant specialising in insects......Really why?????

Dishes included watermelon with caterpillar risotto and ground up cricket......I'll pass

Sumo wrestlers eat two giant pots of meat stew every day......I wonder what the vegan wrestlers eat....this is to make sure they're heavy enough to fight.

Over 2 billion people a round the world are overweight......of which I am one

Only around 805 million people are ill with malnutrition.......now that is so wrong and sad.

Did you know No:26

Hello Monday, damn it is cold here again today, I was up at 6am but at 9am I was falling asleep so I went back to bed for a couple of hours. The first thing I did after getting up at 11am was vacuum the lounge room.

Here are this weeks did you know facts.

On average, lightning causes about 80 odd deaths in the United States each year.

The most expensive spice is saffron, which comes from the stigma of a crocus flower, it costs about $7-8 per gram.

As early as 600BC, in the province of Shanxi in China people refrigerated food by putting it within blocks of ice in underground pits.

The most played song on American radio during the 20^th century was “You're Lost That Loving Feeling”.

The song is the only one in history to be played in different versions, over 8 million times on the radio. That adds up to about 45 years of continuous play.

The Week That Was No:25

Another week over or about to start depending on how you think, it is a nice day not hot by any means but also not cold at all. Tim is at work and I am having a nice day doing a lot of nothing. What is a lot of nothing you wonder, it is sorting out medication, vacuuming out, sorting out a couple of boxes of paperwork, shredding stuff and making food and eating it while watching TV.

I watched the first part of the Chernobyl documentary and found it quite interesting.

Monday was spent doing nothing much, it was raining on and off all day, so I was glad Tim took the car to work. I asked Tasha if she would come get the clothes off the clothes hoist

Tuesday was much warmer, I opened both sliding doors to allow the breeze through the house. Today I did 2 loads of washing and had to get the washing off the hoist before I could hang it out, Tasha didn't get around to doing it.

Wednesday morning Both Leo and myself had doctors appointments, nothing wrong with Leo just needed a ongoing referral for Dr Murry.

I asked about a few things such a new medication for my depression and my back pain as well as my curling toes and fat lip. I have to have a ct scan of my back.

Tim also had a Dr appointment to get the results of his colonoscopy.

Friday was another bloody cold day, Jessica sent me a text letting me know that she is unable to meet me at the square. So Natasha is going to stay with me.

Saturday morning when Kathy arrived I was dressed except for my socks, so I asked her if she could put them on for me.

Well she carried on so much that Summer went to get Tasha. Tasha could hear Kathy going off so when she walked in she snapped at Kathy telling her to get over it, it's only feet and that when she was a baby I did everything for her, this pissed Kathy off.

Kathy thought Natasha had a hide saying that. Kathy went on and on about Natasha while she drove me to the Xray place. I felt like crying all this over my socks.

Kathy said she doesn't ever want to see or speak to Natasha again. 

This is distressing for me.

When I was having blood taken I was shaking so much that one lady had to try and hold the hand still while the other lady drew blood.

So all in all my Saturday sucked.

Poem Thursday No: 15

Hello Thursday it is a bloody cold day here in Newie I have the heater on it's that cold. Here is this weeks poem, verse or whatever.........

God is the sunshine that

warms us, the rain that melts

the frost and waters the young

plants. The presence of God is

a climate of strong and bracing

love, always there.
