Stupidity.

Okay, due to my own stupidy, I won't be blogging for a little while.

Last night I managed to break my laptop. Were ujncertain as yet whether or not I've lost everything on the hard drive. Hopefully not. But in any case, I won't be on as much as I normally am.

Have fun without me :)

So ....

... it's been a while since my last post. I guess you could say alot's happened. I did my 28 week glucose test, which came back highish. So they requested I redo it, and do the longer test. That's been done. I'm waiting to hear the results now.

There's also been another .. hiccup shall we say .. I've been taken off share care, I now have to see the same doctors at the same hospital, which isn't such a huge drama. I go back in tomorrow for another scan.

But in good news, my Mother In Law asked me about the sex of the baby, so I can finally share it ! :)

We are adding to the family with a little boy. Havn't quite settled on a name yet. I DID manage to get the hubby to narrow it down to three names. Which may not sound like much to most, but considering he was NO help with the first two, this is a miracle.

The story .. well it's still coming along. Slowly atm. I just havn't had good concentration on it of late with everything else that's been going on. But that shouldn't be a problem soon.

Thursday I take Piper in for her "pre-op" visit. Then on Monday she goes in to have her op. Hope all goes okay there. Poor mite, she has her surgery the day AFTER her birthday.

And and and ! My friend Jacs is coming to visit me on the Saturdayyyyy! *dances*

That's all, I can't be bothered with anything else :)

Meh.

Ya know, for the last few nights, as I've dozed, I was mentally going over this fantastic blog entry. About a comment that was made about me recently, and how I wished to speak out about it. And yet, here I sit, after having perfected it in my mind, and I find I really can't be bothered.

If people have that much of an issue with me and my circumstances, so be it. Sure, some of the things in my life could have been changed, but I'm happy with it, and I'd never change it.

I think on some level all it took was for me to mentally verbalise the feelings I had in relation to it, and it would be okay. I'm still upset by the comment, but I'm no longer obsessed with it. This is good right? Good. God I'm good at giving self therapy! :)

In other news, I've been very slack in my story. I'm stuck at about 8 and a half thousand words. I just havn't had time to sit and concentrate, with some quiet, without the gurls interrupting me, that I havn't also had a headache. But Ima going to try and rectify that.

I also made Beef Stew for the FIRST time today. It turned out prettyfunkay. Not quite thick enough for the Lemming, but who cares, *I* liked it :)

I'll just try better next time to make it thicker.

What else is there to natter about .. *thinks* .. Oh oh, I've got a friend coming up from Sydney to visit family, and she's gonna come visit meee! Yes. ME! *dances happily* I can't wait. It will be great.

*ponders*

Nope, I think that's all for now.

Progress on the sad little story.

So .. my story's going well. I contemplated posting it on here, but call me stupid .. or watever else you can come up with .. but I couldn't help thinking a) no one wants to read it, and b) someone might steal it! Sad isn't it?

But, I've got over 7000 words now. And the first two chapters are done. Save for going back and re-editing, and adding in more background. So I'm thinking it's going to be more of a novel, than a short story. We'll see. I'm still fairly certain it's going to be a flop, but I feel compelled to keep going. Even if I am scaring myself with my own disturbing imagination :)

Anyways, I do believe it's time for hot chocolate and cookies.

Nite.

My little gurl.

Here's a photo I took today of Jaelyn. She was obsessed with wearing her new beanie and scarf.

Isn't she adorable?

I know, I know, the picture is a little blurry. But that's what you get when a) the child is moving, and b) you're using a phone that's almost two years old and a mite behind in camera technology.

I just wish Piper was home so I could've got one of her as well.

Oh well, always next time :)

Happy Mothers Day.

I'd like to say Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there. If it's not Mothers Day in your country, well, count this as a bonus one :)

My mothers day wasn't too bad. Got up, and got the gurls ready to go out, and we went into town and had a nice family lunch/dinner at Sizzlers. The local all you can eat restaurant chain.

On another note, as I sink deeper and deeper into the pool of disillusionment, I can't help thinking to myself, what on earth did I do wrong? I mean, sure, if I've done something wrong, and people can present me with the evidence, I would do everything in my power to rectify it. But what is a person supposed to do, when they have literally NO idea what they've apparently done to create such disharmony ?

Should I leave? Should I resign my position and let people run all over me? Should I just grin and bear it, and put up with the abuse? If I leave, that's alot of people who I thought were friends to leave behind. If i resign, I'm going to regret it, cause I'll be run over. And if I stay and grin and bear it, the entire issue remains unresolved, and I am up the creek again next week.

What's a gurl to do ?

Mm update.

So, I thought i'd be good and make a small update. Very small.

What have I been up to of late? Not a great deal. Sleeping mostly. Chatting online. My story, it's coming along well, I have over 4 and a half thousand words now, which is great !

And that .. that's pretty much the extent of my update. BUT You can't say I havn't updated now can you? :)

Typical Weekend.

So, it's the weekend again. Stupid me was awake until almost 2:30am last night. What was I doing you might ask? Gossiping. And attempting to start writing a story. It was fun. Of course, the gurls waking up at 6:45am this morning, was not so fun. But I managed to close the bedroom door and burrow at about 8:30 for two hours. God I needed it. I was a grouch. I don't work on so little sleep any more.

The day's been a relatively normal Saturday. We did some cleaning, and the Lemming did some gaming, and I did some chatting, and I even wrote a few more words onto that story I'm attempting to write. It's nothing spesh. The highlight of the day would have to be that we had Pizza for dinner. I so craved Pizza. And I made some home made garlic bread with french sticks and home made garlic butter. It was fantastic. Between the four of us, we pretty much devoured it. I also made an apple n cinnamon teacake. Alrighty, yes, it was a packet mix, but YUM!

On a side note, don't you hate it when you begin to realise that something you thought you were completely at home in, and with, is no longer so comfortable ? That you feel you no longer fit into. And that it's time to move on ? Personally, I hate that feeling. It makes me feel like I've outlived my usefullness. And that makes me feel used. And I hate being used.

And now, off to see if I can add a few words to this story. That is if Jaelyn doesn't come and frighten the crud outta me again like last night.

Meh.

I thought about making an entry.

And then I thought about it some more.

And I just couldn't come up with something good and meaningful to say.

So you're stuck with this poor pitiful post.

Aren't you so lucky ?

Bit of this, bit of that.

You know, it must be going around and be catching. Because I had a nice fantastically interesting entry last night. And I'd gone back through to edit it, when I was given the link to a puzzle site. I got so engrossed in the puzzles, that an hour and a half later I realised it was half past one in the morning, and I hurriedly closed everything down to go to bed. Including closing the window with the unsaved post. I can't even really remember what the post was about, other than the enchantments of the internet, and what it's like when that enchantment ends. Oh well, I'm sure if it's important, it will come back to me.

So, in IRC news, I've scored myself ops in yet another room. I rock. I've finally been able to get a hold of the newer version of the script that I wanted. So the Lemming and I spent a portion of the evening going through and transferring stuff over. It's all done!

In other news, Piper's glasses, I dunno if I mentioned it or not, but they were snapped. Unwearable. We were, thankfully able to get them soldered together by the lovely man at OPSM. So she can wear them for another month until her operation, and then I assume that after that, they're going to give her a new prescription, as she's had this one over a year, and a new set of frames is in order anyway, but the important thing is, that won't be until late june/july atleast. By then, we should be getting a bit more money. I hope.

I spent a small portion of the evening reading a story that a friend is in the middle of writing. I have to say, if that's how she writes all the time, she should be a writer ! It was fantastic. I can't wait to read more. It's bought to mind the idea of writing a story to keep myself amused during the rest of the pregnancy, but when you put my pitiful attempts next to hers, I'm not sure I'm game to even try heh. It's something I've been considering for a while now. I just wish I had the confidence and talent enough to seriously try it. Maybe one day.

In other news, I am not impressed with stupid Adobe and Mozilla. I keep having dramas where Adobe works fine, until Mozilla updates. Then it doesn't. SOMEHOW I eventually manage to find some way to fix it with some sort of adobe update, and it's fine. Until Mozilla updates again. And the cycle starts again. That happened again tonight. I am so annoyed at it, and the stupid thing wants a reboot to fix settings or some such crud. But I refuse to reboot right now on principle. I'm busy elsewhere. :)

26 weeks today. Give or take.

So I thought I'd be nice and get an entry in, before people really started harrassing me about not making entries.

Of course it's after midnight, just, and I'm mostly looking for things to do whilst I let my food settle in my tum cause i had a ham n tomato sammich at about 11:40 and I don't wanna go to bed just yet.

So I had my checkup today. All's looking good. Were all pretty sure that it's ONLY ONE. Atleast, those that aren't, I'm ignoring your taunts that it's twins now :)

The doctor asked me about any swelling in my hands and feet, and bigmouth that i am said "no, nothing so far in the feet." Of course to get home and realise that I can't find the ankle bone on the inside of my ankles. Due to swelling. Oh well.

What else have I been up to .. well I've been pretty hooked on Oblivion. It's nice, even on my poor lowest of specs machines.

I'm sitting here .. trynig to think of something interesting to blog about, and I'm coming up completely and totally blank. I mean, you guys don't wanna hear about our finances, or lack there of. Or about our dramas with this house and how we have to move when the lease is up. Or even really the dodgy but cute things the gurls do all the time.

What else does that leave ?

I'll have to get back to you when I figure it out!

In the mean time .. Bed !
