Boredom

If you spend all day in bed with a headache, you are not tired in the night and not being tired and having nothing to do is boredom inducing! :crazy:

Kitten and colds

by Sapphire_Night @ 29.05.2008 – 01:36:55

I am suffering with a cold, sore throat and a mouth full of ulcers! I appear to be surrounded by tissues and I can't say I'm having much fun. I had to ignore my new hamster earlier, I say new, I've had her 8 weeks now. I felt mean because she came to greet me and I couldn't hold her or anything. Hamsters being able to catch human colds is a pain!

I have a kitten now, she's called Izzy. She is currently sitting in her bed looking around wondering what other naughty things she can get up to! She's just been attacking her mouse, she beats it up. :)) I'm almost ready for bed and she seems full of life, she's practically been asleep for most of the day, if not in her bed then cuddled up with me. I had her Monday and on Tuesday morning she woke me at 6am and it took me half an hour to get her back to sleep. I also had to put her to sleep Monday night by cuddling her because she refused to settle on her own. This morning was much better though, she slept until 9:45 then decided to walk over me and disturb me too! Thankfully she's learned that she needs to jump up on the bed herself so that stops the miaows asking that I lift her. :yes: She's cute though even if she is expensive, I spoil my animals. I bought her a pink and purple blanket today that said 'Pretty Kitty' and she loves it. She's going to sleep now so I think that's my cue to sleep too!

:wave:

Shredding skin and being ill!

by Sapphire_Night @ 23.04.2008 – 12:26:44

I appear to have dry skin on my right hand, it looks as if the skin is splitting. I'm not sure this is a good look and it's making me look like I have inherited someone's granny hand. Actually, being left body parts in a will would just be weird. :))

I have been ill since last Wednesday evening/Thursday morning. I noticed I had a sore throat and thought it was probably just a bit dry so I ignored it, then I started to get a fever and it gradually got worse. I must have looked so ill in Marks & Spencer that the boy on the checkout offered me water. I was freezing so not sure that would have helped! It got to Monday and there was still no sign of it going so I got out a torch and looked at the back of my throat, I was then greeted with white stuff in my tonsils and on further inspection it was all down he back of my throat. I decided to phone and ask for an appointment in the doctor's because I could no longer cope with being dosed up on paracetamol and ibuprofen, this being the only way I could swallow anything, even drinking was like eating glass. I was given antibiotics and although my throat is still vile, I can at least swallow now. :yes:

Cramp

by Sapphire_Night @ 10.04.2008 – 12:29:54

I woke up at 10 with cramp in my leg, which I have not had for ages, I hate that sudden waking and then pain, like it has waited for you to wake up!

This week I have been mostly cleaning, I must say I like cleaning the bathroom, I like that you can just use water and spray and then it's clean although it took ages by the time I'd put everything away and cleaned everything to within an inch of it's life. I am a perfectionist, it takes me ages just to do one room, and I like things to sparkle when I leave.

Yesterday saw me cleaning my sister's room, I have never seen so much dust, it must have taken me about 3 hours and there was barely any mess so I didn't have much to put away. I dusted and hoovered like a woman possessed whilst listening to loud music and watching the fish. This is where living in a detached house comes in handy. :)) I am lucky really because I live next to a lane and a garden so do not have to worry about disturbing anyone. Having lived this way for 22 years, I am not sure I would want to listen to other people's noise so I will require a house on a desert island somewhere. :yes:

Last Wednesday I bought a new hamster, she is dark grey all over with little white bits on her tummy and tomorrow she will be 7 weeks old. I know her exact birthday, which is novel as with other hamsters it has been guesswork. The other hamster, my little old man is doing well, he is now over two and half and bald which doesn't really make him look like a hamster but that is old age for you! :))

I'm having my two bottom wisdom teeth out in June so that will be good, can't say I am looking forward to it though as it's going to be done under local anaesthetic so I will be aware. I fully expect to be traumatised, I have never had so much as a filling in the dentist, I only have 5-minute check-ups. Apparently it is just a slit and then the teeth will come out easily, I hope so as I do not want fingers in my mouth for long.

Lastly, I will be having an eye test tomorrow. I have noticed that my eyes are getting bad and my vision is not what it used to be. This becomes more apparent as the weeks go on, I cannot even see face detail on people the other end of the aisle in the supermarket. I used to have perfect vision and then I noticed I was unable to see number plates on cars unless right behind them. I guess I will see what they say tomorrow about them but I doubt I will get away without having anything. I cannot help but think I am going blind; I am so dramatic. :))

Where is it?

by Sapphire_Night @ 01.04.2008 – 02:56:52

My body has decided to screw with my brain and not have a period on the day it was meant to arrive. This is clearly weird as they come every 28 days without fail, I can set my calendar by them and plan things around them. I am really quite alarmed that it's decided not to come, it'll probably come later but that's still messed up my 28 day pattern.

I'm feeling quite tired so should probably consider bed but I feel as if I've slept for the past two days so don't really understand why I am so tired.

Maybe I will hoover and dust today, there are bits on the floor and there is probably dust. The best bit is that I don't need to tidy because it is still tidy from last Monday, I'm sure that's when I last cleaned. I keep thinking that it's Monday now but it's not, it's Tuesday. School holidays are confusing my brain and it's like I'm on a permanent weekend. :))

How Does That Work?

by Sapphire_Night @ 28.03.2008 – 02:33:02

How on earth can yawning make me feel as if my food is repeating on me? The more I yawn the more sick I feel!

I think I'll go to bed and battle with my bladder, it's only late at night that I get the urge to go every half an hour so I have come to the conclusion that it's either screwed or just playing up to be annoying. :yes:

I guess that woman who told me I didn't drink enough wasn't lying about having kidney problems when I was older. Being forced to drink squash or any liquid when you're 15 is no fun! :))

If I was an animal they'd have put me down by now.

Sneezes

by Sapphire_Night @ 13.03.2008 – 15:41:42

I cannot stop sneezing and I am craving tuna and cheese toasted sandwiches. I also fancy sun dried tomatoes and perhaps onions. I am going to satisfy this craving later when I have my sandwich for dinner. :yes:

You know you must be going nuts when you dream about going to the cinema but it turns out that actually you are in school again with the most annoying boy in the world who used to shout out he loved you in the middle of lessons and you now seem to be sitting opposite him which luckily never happened. Although I was sometimes unfortunate enough to stand outside the class with him, where he would tell me what drugs he was taking and I would just look at him as if he was a freak because he had probably never even gone near drugs. Strangely, it was someone else who asked me to go to the cinema so how it turned out to be the class from school I do not know. I also dreamt I told the person not to pick me up and that I would drive there although I don't drive, then again I always drive in my dreams so perhaps my destiny is to drive. Anyway, I didn't end up driving because my parents took me there for some reason. Then I was woken up by the person I'd been dreaming about before it all went crazy and said 'I've just been dreaming about you.' Oh Yes, I have finally cracked up! :))

Minds are like parachutes - they only function when open

by Sapphire_Night @ 13.03.2008 – 04:50:06

I haven't been here for ages, which seems to be what generally happens these days or I come here and I write, then whatever was going on in my head feels clear so I do not bother to post it. Everything is okay at the moment, it is mostly good but I guess, as with anything there are always difficulties. Mainly arguments about the ex-wife which really should not occur but I am sure it will get easier, I hope so anyway. I don't think it's the fact that she's his ex-wife, I know that she's not a threat, it's something else which I can't write about.

Neil and I are very different, we have completely different personalities and I think this is the reason we get on so well plus he makes me happy. He probably deserves a medal for putting up with me anyway! :)) I don't think the difference in our ages makes any difference, in fact I think I like the fact that he's older as I get to be younger and I'd let him look after me instead of feeling like I had to be the one who made sure things were okay. I think that's basically how I have felt in other relationships, even though J was older than me, I felt like I was his mother at times and he was more responsibility than I needed at 18 but it's okay because I was happy to look after him and make sure he was okay. I guess I do tend to mother people but with Neil, I don't have to because he is more mature than I am and that makes a nice change. I think we are there for each other in equal amounts and that is definitely a positive thing within our relationship.

It is late and I should go to bed so I will see you in a month! :))

Annoyed

by Sapphire_Night @ 20.02.2008 – 14:59:18

A lot of things piss me off and make me angry. I don't think I can blog them because they are not my issues and it's not my right but it grates on me how people can be so bloody selfish.
