Tired Rambles

Lots of changes are happening but nothing entirely thrilling. A new calling at church, a new diet (as in lifestyle, not get skinny quick), a new cough and sore throat for O, a new pinterest board, a new book, a new study Bible, new medication.

Its a cold cold night and I am tucked up in bed in the dark. O and I share a room, divided by a curtain, (how very cabin in the woods right?), it is the compromise for a nice little house in a nice little area by the sea. O is breathing with little whirs and sighs, fast asleep. I have a little bed trolley on wheels, its pilled high with note books, headphones, the laptop, pens and medication, its great, it has become my little bed office.
I saw my doctor today, I need more bone tests, more fun and games.
Today was my day off. No more days off until Sunday. I am always so busy on Sundays, sometimes it doesn't feel like a Sabbath at all.
I did a mountain of laundry today, washed dried and put away (the up side of marriage abandonment = less laundry, the down side = no one to share the chores).
I made a very green soup for lunch (stock, courgettes, onions, broccoli, kale, garlic, ginger, coriander), with plenty left for tomorrow.
I keep being told that cola is very bad for bone pain/conditions, so I haven't had any for 2 days, its not been easy, I had an alcohol free beer on Saturday night instead (which quite probably eradicates any good).
I am so terribly terribly tired, I think its lack of caffeine!
I have cottage cheese with prawns on oatcakes waiting for supper. I had better eat it soon lest I be too tired to lift my hand.

I am off to walk with my women friends before supper and sleep.
Bye for now.

Some Christmas Pics 2015

Well, despite some dicky tums we managed to enjoy our Christmas time. We have had a couple of Christmas dinners, as one does at this time of year, and thankfully no more sick bowls by the bedside.
I thought I would share a random selection of pics, not too many lest your eyes glaze over.


Santa was played by our stake president and a jolly fine Santa he was !


O and I in our Christmas jim jams


Despite owning 1960s smoked glass champagne saucers, Santa gets a sip of milk in a Mormon household


1980s flashback, O asked Santa for a Rubiks cube



Turns out O was rather fearful of  the Christmas crackers this year - not the faintest idea why


we grow rather pretty ladies in this family - sister, daughter, niece


my turn to cook, loving my apron


Tartan crackers for the missionarries - which were preposterously difficult to pull


Today I am taking the little chap to see the new Star Wars movie. Naughty Mummy has seen it already with a friend (in the interest of determining its suitability you understand), and I thought it was pretty splendid. I don't expect it will be too frighting for him, you can most definitely tell that Disney has had their little stir in the mix.

I hope you are all having a jolly holiday.
