Gall-bladderless
Current Mood: SicklyIt’s now 24 hours since my operation and I’m still in hospital. I expected to be discharged this morning, but I think my surgeon is erring on the side of caution. To my delight, A brought home my new laptop the day before I went into hospital, so that is what I’m typing [...]

Just checking in…
It’s the end of another weekend so I thought I’d do the obligatory post. The uni semester has also ended, which is a big relief. I submitted my take home exam in the early hours of Friday morning and have been stressing about it on and off since then. Mostly because I was working on [...]

Getting organised
In the interests of recording my life, which is what this blog is all about, I wanted to write about last night. Except that I don’t want to go into the gory details, so I’ll just say that I suspect I had an ovarian cyst rupture last night. I will say that I was in [...]

Olive oil spread
It’s just olive oil that I put in the freezer for a day, then in the fridge for a day. I’ve been using it on toast instead of margarine or butter. It has a very obvious olive oil taste, but that’s not a bad thing. Speaking of food, I’ve been quite frustrated with the whole [...]

Another whingy post, sorry.
As I lay in bed this morning, I was planning what I’d wear to work. Dexie was snuggled in on one side and A was on the other side. A got up and started to get ready for work, so I knew I had a few more minutes to lay in bed. Then I woke [...]

More pain!
The day started out so nicely. Dexie and I pottered around at home, doing the dishes and the washing. I dropped him off at FDC, where the FDCarer gave me a pandan chicken parcel for lunch – yum! I often joke with my friend who also sends her daughter there, that we should pay her [...]

Pain!
I’m glad I know better now, because if I didn’t, then I would have thought I was having a heart attack. This kind of pain has occured before, the tightness, the inability to breathe… Today was pretty bad, but it soon subsided to a dull ache in the pit of my stomach. My surgeon said [...]

From one extreme to the other!
Without my laptop, I’ve been using my iTouch to access the Internet. Tonight, however, A had the media centre set up and I’ve been using the TV to access the Internet. So, I’ve gone from having the iTouch about 20cm in front of my face, to the TV screen, which is about 4 metres away [...]

still sans computer!
Current Mood: SicklyI’m writing this at uni, since I still don’t have a comptuer. A is looking at getting one for me, but argh! Luckily I still have the iTouch, but it’s just not the same! Supposedly, I’m studying for a take home exam that is coming up, but I keep getting distracted! This semester [...]

Happy birthday to me!
8 years ago today, my world had changed forever. 7 years ago today, I was sitting at a cafe in New York City. Today I have to take Willow to a birthday party – my life has changed a bit! We made this card to give to her. It was a princess party and she [...]
