Ok so wishful thinking has not gone do well and its not over yet...

Today I verbally stated that all the health issues of last year would be in the past and it was all going to be good.

If there was one thing I learnt in 2012, I've learnt that it is better to be positive..it makes things easier for one... However

Why is it that is just when things start to look up...they suddenly go down again??!

Today I started back at work... Great day. Good outcome in terms of gaining approval for post grad including 4 hours per week of work time for study purposes,  which was just an added bonus that I hadn't planned for. Excellent!!!

Even made up the flex I was in debit for....then I came home where hubby advised me he has had another bleed in his left eye...he first had problems with this eye in late 2011 and it led to us starting 2012 in a not very good health position where recovery of sight took months.

So anyway as he is currently recovering from a retina displacement operation for the right eye which basically had a similar issue late 2012 he is unable to see from his right eye...therefore the news that I came home too is that as of this afternoon he now has only very blured vision from both eyes...

He is miserable and I can't blame him. He is desperate to have good health and this is yet another set back.

Anyone know of any positives of becoming blind?  I can think of a few but I'm not convincing hubby.

Hopefully it clears tomorrow.

End of holidays

So here I am at the end of my holidays. Back to work tomorrow.
No more sleeping in, getting up  and taking my time to get going, trying to decide what to do - read a book or watch some telly. 

It will be - get up, shower, dress, eat, go!

I should try to add in - get on the treadmill... Maybe if I just do 10 minutes!

Out shopping

Shopping.....I never do understand the pull and attraction of walking around endlessly looking at anything and everything just for the entertainment value... I'm not a shopper.

IT Savvy!

Ok. So here I am. I have worked it out. I am blogging from my mobile phone...

random old unpublished post - Until now.

Random picture hey?

 I like this type of picture - you could come up with all sorts of things to say - i cant think of much at the moment but hey....



OK so Time is a Major Factor

Its interesting that I started this blog over the summer holidays and for a while was quite good at getting online and typing something  - granted nothing really interesting. Nothing I have typed here is all that interesting ... but then again that was not the goal.  - and here I am trying desperately hard to reinvigorate this activity and its the summer holidays!! Of course I think I can be excused for 2012. The summer holidays were disastrous in 2012. The last week of school, Sam (the second eldest or eldest which ever way you want to look at it), came off a horse and underwent some surgery to fix the gaping hole in her side... and then she had to rest up and keep off her fractured hip... basically that was the beginning... actually no it wasn't the beginning... if I remember correctly that was the third thing cause I remember saying "oh well that's three now so its the end of the bad times"..... how wrong was I!!  

Anyway my point is that it has occurred to me that I only tend to be able to add to this when i have time ...over the summer holidays...

I'll be working on that... just as  I've started working on taking time for myself. Now that the kids are older I feel able to get out and catch up with my friends without having to take the kids and they can fend for themselves ( and their little sister) for an hour. We're still in early days of this but I think I can make that work...

 If only I could make the Blogger app work too, that would help as getting onto a computer for this has also proved hard the last few days.... Clearly I have not yet met one of the original goals - to become more tech savvy.... I'll keep working on that on!

OMG Its 2013!!

Well, well, well... its been quite a while. 2012 was such a cr$%p year. Anything that could go wrong (almost) did go wrong. If i put it on here - I'd be here all night and quite frankly I couldn't be bothered. The main point is that 2012 is over and done with and its in the past. I am hoping to come back to this however also need to be practical and accept that taking on a post grad degree this year is probably enough already... anyway i hope to continue the blog - no one follows me or reads this anyway so its just for me. to write what i want and get it off my chest or outta my head. within reason - I'm very much aware of the vices of blogs and the internet in general. so in short i'll keep adding ( or plan too) but i'm not promising it to be interesting.
