Wondrous world of our body...

...well, that's how I felt today. Have a nasty cold since last Monday with chesty cough and a stuffy nose. Left it for a week with normal stuff i.e. cough syrup, paracetamol etc. Had an appointment with my GP today as I still had the cold and felt like not getting anywhere ... and the cough is keeping me up most night. :( And I feared it would bring up my Asthma again.

And what does the doc say? It's not a chesty cough, it's actually my sinuses!!!! :o And symptoms worsen at nights because I am lying flat and the phlegm is getting into the throat. Now there you go!!! That'll explain why chesty cough syrup didn't help!!! Am on Sudafed now, in the hope it clears up that way. LOL.


Die erstaunliche Welt unseres Koerpers ... nun, das hab ich heute gefuehlt. Habe eine ekelige Erkaeltung seit letztem Montag, mit Husten und verstopfter Nase. Hab versucht, es letzte Woche mit Hustensaft und Paracetamol wegzubekommen. Hatte heute einen Termin mit meinem Doktor, weil ich immernoch die Erkaeltung hatte und mit den Standardmethoden nirgens hingekommen bin ... und weil der Husten mich den groessten Teil der Nacht wachhaelt :( Und ich hab Panik, dass es mein Asthma wieder hochbringt.

Und was hat der Arzt gesagt? Es ist kein Husten, es sind meine Nebenhoehlen!!! :o Und die Anzeichen sind nachts schlimmer, weil ich horizontal liege und der Schleim in meinen Hals runterlaeuft. Interessant!!! Das erklaert auch, warum Hustensaft nix gebracht hat!!! Ich nehme jetzt Sudafed und hoffe, dass das alles klaert. LOL

Seriously, I hope the Sudafed clears it up and you feel all better!

Christmas Journal Entry #2

Phew!!! Took me longer than I thought!!! :) Maybe I should leave the crafty bits out ... I am a slow scrapper after all (found that out at the Cyber Crop!!). But have to say I LOVE that LO. Used acetate with stazon white opaque (over photo), snowflake eyelets, snowflake button and snowflake vellum sticker. The prompt today suggested we cut a paper snowflake ... well, I had three attempts and am absolutely rubbish at it!! So I decided I try my luck with a quilled snowflake ... first time ever for me to do a snowflake and you can see the wonky result! LOL.

 Here is my Final Round up for the Photo Scavenger Hunt 2013: 1. Open air market (Market Stall outside Kew Station, London) 2. Theater for performing arts (not a movie theater) ( Edinburgh Festival Theatre ) 3. City Hall, Capitol or other similar civic building (Dumfries Council Buildings) 4. Airplane (Our Virgin Flight plane to London) 5. A sunset (opted for another picture than posted before, as this sunset is more stunning! It’s taken at Knockbrex House, Dumfries & Galloway, with view of the Bay) 6. Someone or something taking a nap (there’s too much cuteness about, and still so many photos of the Hobbits falling asleep ) 7. A sign that is intentionally or unintentionally funny (Seeing it was Maple Pecan Ice cream, the note  “May contain other nuts” makes you really wonder…) 8. A tower (Watch tower at St. Cuthbert’s graveyard, Edinburgh, defending against grave robbery) 9. A photo with someone or something that is clearly out of place or doesn't bel

Official!!!

Still struggling with sleep deprivation from Superbowl on Sunday, but hey … maybe I’ll get finally to sleep BEFORE midnight. And since 11am this morning the “little secret” from the Adamsons is now not a secret anymore. WE ARE PREGNANT WITH TWINS!!!!  The IVF run in December was positive (typical, the one we thought won’t do anything and we’ll have to go down to London to get immune issues checked out), and we had our official 12 week scan today. Both Chip and Chap are doing fine, are moving about, have all limbs and noses and chins and heartbeats. And I’m feeling as if a big rock’s been removed from my shoulders … have been reading too many horror stories about twin pregnancies resulting in just one baby born or even losing both. Think with 5 years IVF in the bag we know far too much about the medical background and are more likely to worry about what COULD go wrong instead of “enjoying the pregnancy”. But there you go – all going ok, tests were normal as well (don’t have t
