May already? Holy CRAP!
I know it has been a long time since I have updated, the days just seem to blur into a moment and I rarely find the time to think coherently for even a few minutes.
Work is an absolute nightmare at the moment, we have our major fundraising event for the year coming up next weekend and we all feel so unprepared. My boss is being increasingly narky towards me, as she gets more and more stressed, and I seem to be the scape goat for everything that goes wrong. I may have been there longer than all bar one of our team of 5, but I have still only been there for 7 months! That does NOT make me an expert, and the things I am getting in trouble over were decisions that were made when I had only been there for a few weeks, but oh well. Hopefully after MPW things will settle down somewhat.
Amelia is growing in leaps and bounds, physically and mentally. She has such a good head for names, she seems to know the names of all the kids at daycare, and she definitely knows all the kids at swimming lessons. I've taken some more videos, I'll Youtube them when I return to broadband speed in a few days, she's so damn cute :)
Ash has aced both his exams at school so far, he thinks he got a perfect score for History and is pretty sure he got an A for English as well, although he won't find out til the end of the year officially, his teachers have hinted...
We have all been sick off and on, I had gastro for 4 days which involved 3 trips to the doctor, injections, prescriptions and a whole lot of sleeping. I was just recovering when I then sprained my ankle and ended up on crutches for a few days, before deciding my underarms hurt worse from the crutches than my ankle did in the first place and commenced hobbling again. If only work didn't have SO MANY STAIRS!
My foster kitten, which now belongs to H is going to feature in our Cat Calendar next year, so excited :) "my" kitten will be semi-famous. Sam's sister's dog is going to bein the Dog one too, and I helped her adopt him, so that is also exciting.
Ebony (En-oh-meeee as Amelia calls here, heh) has not gotten any better and has in fact lost more fur. I have now got her wearing an "Elizabethan Collar" (a bucket in laymans terms!) on her head to stop her licking at it. Since we put the bucket on she has become increasingly affectionate, sitting on our knees, following us around all the time and just wanting loads of affection, which of course we are usually very happy to give her! Except when cooking dinner, pain in the butt cat! She doesn't seemto mind the collar too much, after an hour of walking aroudn backwards trying to get it off, she accepted it and hopefully it will help some.
Haven't been hitting the gym much, what with the gastro and injuries, but I am enjoying the time I do spend there which is a big thing for me to admit!
Well Ash is due home from work in a few minutes so might go rustle him up some lunch!
Hope everyone is well :)
