2007 - Crap

And so we go on. I finished the antibiotics a week ago, 5 days off them and the lovely Clostridium Difficile came back. Well, I'd just started work 2 hours a day, was supposed to do half days this week but am now back to 2 hours only because I said I had to! On more antibiotics but at least I can eat a little more than white bread and marmite. Oh joy! that was hard.
This bug makes me so tired.. I have never been so exhausted that I need an afternoon nap. I've been so physically exhausted even after doing the dishes! When I can eat and drink anything I'll be getting all the vitamins and asdophillus into me so fast!
And the next bloody pain in the arse is we're losing our boss! CRAP CRAP CRAP! He's so cool to work with, does and says what he means and is so much fun..... and now he's going to be a Jaffa! Well, all I can say is, if we end up with some boring old fart with no sense of humour, or ambition we'll be going to Auckland on convoy, wrapping one of his 1000 ties around his neck and bringing our funny boy back!! Thats not a threat, its a promise Mr H!
But it will be great for him and his family to be closer to relatives and back where they want to be ... and I'm sure there will be many emails going back and forwards. I'll never forget I'd been there 3 months and the first time I got the weekly report I said to Mr H, "if you put my results on there we'd be over 100%". He said you are on there! Turned out he thought my name was Karen Scott ??? and I've been Scotty ever since. Yeah well, beam me up mate! Haha
I have started some sewing at long last. I made a doll, a lot of it hand sewing so I could relax and do it. It was for a friends birthday. Quite keen to make some more one day but for now I'm hoping to make a bag for a lady I met in hospital who has to have radiotherapy. However I only have enough oomph for short bursts so not much is being achieved.
Then its time to make my grandsons quilt before he thinks his Nan doesnt care! He's been waiting a couple of years.
Well back to the lazyboy before thinking about dinner. Takes a bit of thought when you can't eat everything!

Don't go missing Mr H yet mate, there are no noises about him going up there just yet.... thank god! I am not looking forward to him leaving me here with the kids on me own that's for sure! Booo hoo, but... it is what we wanted and we are rapt. And it is going to be excellent for his career.... and seeing more of the family and other grandkids, going to the beach house etc etc.... all good. Bummer about your infection raising it's ugly head again, gawd I hope you can get on top of it soon.

With a name like 'Clostridium Difficile' it is no wonder you are having difficulty getting rid of the blood bug! Good name for a quilt though :-)
