The Week That Was No:39

Here I am on Sunday afternoon feeling oh so tired but hanging in there.

I was up at 7am a cool day, Tim took the car.

Jess & Leo called to show me her new car, while they were here Kelli arrived to drop off Blain. It was nice seeing them all.

Natasha helping me tonight, going to be a early night I am extremely tired.

Monday I was up at 6.45am, been thinking about aqua, I want to go but have a lot of pain in my left arm and neck and my left knee isn't good either.

I did go to aqua it was good.

Not much else today, just wrote letters and read blogs.

Tuesday I woke at 6am to go to the loo but it was so dark in the house that I want back to bed till 6.30

Had a hour long nap at midday as I was falling asleep at computer.

Leo is here for the night.

Again I am done in my 6pm.

Thursday I was awake at 6am, up & dressed by 6.40am, found Leo awake in the lounge room on his ipad.

I medicated Leo at 10am. He is off again today.

Sandra came and picked up cards so Tim could give Mum money.

Leo is feed up with Blain and crying in frustration, he took his meds early.

Friday I woke at 6.15, got up went to the loo and sat on the bed thinking about what to wear today.

I managed to do my own make up.

Tasha drove me to Charlie and stayed there till Jess arrived. However, I didn't see her, she went and did her own thing.

I like Jess's new car, very nice.

I am very tired yet again.

Saturday I slept in till 7.30am, Jess arrived with Leo around 8.30 she will be back around 6pm.

Kathy & girls came over and I had a list printed for Kathy with household jobs I would like done. She did most of them without complaint.

Tasha came down and wanted me to give her the gift cards from Skin Kandy but I was strong and said NO even though she pleaded.

Jessica arrived around 6pm and was able to help me get ready for bed. Which was good as Natasha went out for the night and didn't tell me.

Now it is time to post yet again.

Thursday's Poem

Lord.....give me the gift of

faith to be renewed and

shared with others each day.

Teach me to live this

moment only, looking

neither to the past with

regret, nor the future with

apprehension. Let love be

my aim and my life a prayer

On this day

Welcome to my first “On this day” post, well I think is it the first one.......

The 25^th September is the 268^th day of the year unless it's a leap year. This year it falls on a Wednesday.

Scrolling through the list of people born on this day I recognised only a dew names such as, Barbara Walters, Michael Douglas & Catherine Zeta-Jones.

The only name I recognised in the list deaths was Don Adams aka Maxwell Smart agent 86.

The 25^th September is also National Youth Day for those in Nauru and it is National Researchers Administrators Day in the USA.

For me it is just another day in the month of September, how about you?

Blah Day

Hello world, here I am sitting here ready to write a post but I can't think of a damn thing to write about.

I have been writing a couple of letters each day I have six done

but still have ten left to answer.

For some reason I am super tired this morning, I am falling asleep at the computer. So at midday I went for a nap.

It is just a blah day.

Did you know No 33

Good morning world, Monday again and another nice day, here is this weeks did you know facts.

In 1989, an American weapons company ran scratch and sniff advertisement in the Armed Forces Journal. It pictured two battling helicopters and when part of the ad was scratched, it gave off the smell or cordite, the odour left in the air after a rocket explosion.

“Jenga” is a Swahili word that means “to build”

Mr Potato Head was the first Toy product ever advertised on television.

Giraffes have no vocal cords

The first cartoon hero to go from comic book to movie was Zorro the film “The Mark of Zorro” was released in 1920 just a year after the comic was launched

The week that was No:38

Before she left last night Jess put the chicken on too cook in the slow cooker.

I am in a stressed mood snapping at everyone. I just have no patience with anyone.

Felt really hot around 3pm and I turned on the air con.

Tim bought himself a new computer and I am annoyed because if it was mine that died I would have had to wait longer.

I am exhausted by 5.30pm

I was awake at 6am but laid in bed till 6.30am, I went to aqua. I really need new swimmers as the ones I have are 2 sizes too big.

It has been another very warm day

Monday now and yesterday it was very warm,today it is dark and wet when I woke up at 7am the house was very dark, I thought it was earlier.

Had to go to bed for an hour at 10.30am.

Tuesday it has been raining heavy all afternoon.

Leo is here for the night

Wednesday saw heavy rain all morning, I have given Leo an umbrella even though he has managed to destroy three of them already.

Didn't do much else for the rest of the day.

Thursday I was up at 7am still wet outside, I have a Dr's appointment.

I have been referred to a specialist about the rheumatoid arthritis as the blood test isn't conclusive.

This afternoon Leo walked down to Coles with Blain and on returning he went to Blain's to hang out and play Xbox.

Also at school today he was hit in the head with a metal gate, thankfully he is ok and not hurt.

Up at 6.45am, managed to dress myself and do my own make-up before going to Charlie to meet mum and others for breakfast.

Tasha was in a mood this morning complaining about having to get Mum's scooter each Friday.

Kelli & Freya met Jessica and me at the square and Jessica drove me home in Kelli's car.

Jessica bought me another fancy eclair this one was strawberry, it was nice but a bit sickly.

Jess got Leo out of school early so he could go back to Kelli's for the night but he didn't want to go so just stayed at home while Jess was at work.

Jessica & Tim went and bought her car, now I have to find insurance for it.

Saturday and I woke at 7.30am this morning and it was an effort to get up but of course I did and had Tim help me get dressed.

I helped Tim with his new computer and did more research for car insurance. It is comprehensive insurance we need, for Jessica's new car.

Tim and I went out for lunch to the Eastern Tiger for lunch as it. is our 35^th wedding anniversary tomorrow. No gifts exchanged we don't do that.

Kathy brought the shopping over and got the clothes off the line but didn't do the bed.

Sunday now and the time has come to post this.
