My Life's Ingredients

And...here we go! 1. A cup of tea is currently my life saver with the cold! 2. A personal touch makes a place feel like home. 3. Everything has its beauty – you just have to look for it. 4. Can you beat the taste of strawberries? 5. Art makes me feel torn sometimes (depending on the art) . 6. LOL I just noticed I forgot to close the window (cooold!) 7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to relax , tomorrow my plans include recovery from the cold and Sunday, I want to attend a football game! Or a scrimmage !

Can’t believe I got that stupid cold for 1.5 weeks already … or can I?! It started off with a very sore throat during the night of the 13th, then my body decided to add sinusitis about mid-week, and from Friday (when, incidentally, I woke up with fever of 38.8 – I NEVER get fever!!!) a dry/hacking cough arrived. Managed to get an appointment with one of the GPs at my practice on Friday and got my knuckles rapped because I didn’t make an earlier appointment so they could figure out if it’s a viral or bacterial infection. D’UH! I’ve been told not to bother with doc’s appointments for a “common cold” with sore throat unless it takes more than 6 days to go away … and considering the time spans I get from my GPs for appointments (the past couple of months it’s between 5 and 7 days!) I really didn’t bother. And YES, I am CRANKY!!! :(  Fed up with NHS for the timeframes etc. (come on … being told the next appointment is not available until next week when you phone because of migraine/...

Outside my window… it’s cold and wet again. I am thinking... I’m really not happy with my GP and dentist this week! I am thankful for... a warm cuppa tea or Chai Latte. :) From the kitchen... still the smell of oven baked potatoes (with tuna mayo and the other with cheese) I am wearing... jogging bottoms and a t’shirt – my usual garb at home really. I am remembering... that I promised myself to have the Wolves scrapbook updated by Super Bowl party … but that ain’t gonna happen yet again! :o I am creating... still nothing – Mojo is still MIA, but I will try to do some scrapping/card making tomorrow.   I am going... to look into fruit & veg to be planted in the back garden at some point. I am currently reading... “Order in Chaos” by Jack Whyte.   I am hoping... that my Mojo is coming back soon – I REALLY want to do scrapping, but I just don’t do it?! I am hearing... the Simpsons. ;) And “Defying Gravity” (Wicked the Musical) sun...

Just back from the GP (well… have been preparing dinner since) and am just totally baffled really… and losing faith in the medical system here. :o First of all, appointment was at 4:30pm and I didn’t get seen until 5pm. Same happened on Monday at my dentist. So why do practices insist on giving you appointments if THEY cannot keep them? But BEWARE if YOU are not on time … a dark look is the minimum you get!!! At the dentist I was then told after 5 mins of checking fillings and gums that I should come back for another appointment where we do the X-Ray of my broken front tooth (which had a small chip in it again). Little me was thinking that would put me back about 2 weeks … but NO! The first appointment they gave me was 24th of MARCH!!!! What is WRONG in this picture???? But I digress … Today’s GP appointment was for my left wrist … painful for about 1.5 weeks now. With my own knowledge I ruled out broken bones or dislocations and it kinda came down to tendonitis (bare in mind t...

1. I know that the weekend will be over far too quickly.   2. January sometimes feels like the longest month. 3. You can't help but wonder about some medical professionals . 4. Super Bowl on Sunday ; bring it on! 5. Where have you looked for greek food lately ? 6. Cream Eggs are now available. 7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to , tomorrow my plans include cinema and dinner at Khublai Khan’s and Sunday, I want to get some sleep in between Wolves Junior & Senior training and the Super Bowl kicking off at midnight !
