I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas or whatever holiday you are celebrating. I hope the new year brings good things to everyone and that we will all have a better year.

Unfortunately, my new year has not had the best start with me waking up with a sore throat and a chest infection.  It is bad enough getting sick in winter, but somehow it ( Read more... )

I had a bit of a late start to my Christmas cooking this year. Yesterday I had lunch with one of my daughters. Sadly we are all scattered so we can no longer get together as a family anymore, but Steve and I still manage to see the ones that live closer to us.

This year it is just the two of us for Christmas day so we are having a late dinner. ( Read more... )

The weather here is so hot and muggy right now. It has become real Christmas weather. We are having storms nearly every day, and the clouds are trapping the heat, making things really humid. Steve and I have been having showers to try and stay cool.

Steve and I went into the city to finish the Christmas shopping, we ended up going to our favourite ( Read more... )

Oh boy, it has snuck up on me this year. Steve and I are actually putting up a tree this year. Normally we don't as it is just the two of us. The kids are grown and we usually travel to one of their places. But we found a white birch tree with LED lights in the branches. I plan to paint it black so it can double as a Halloween tree as well. (Yes, I ( Read more... )

Not much has been happening this week. We didn't have many medical appointments, so we had more time to see friends, and I even had time to go to my favourite bay to go swimming. The weather is getting warmer despite all the rain so I planning to spend a lot more time at Cronulla.

On another note, I have joined Bluesky. As much as I liked Twitter, ( Read more... )

This week has not been as hectic, Steve and I are trying to take more time to rest especially since Steve's blood test came back and his blood glucose levels were really high. The doctor has given him a new medication and he has to see a dietician and an endocrinologist. Because his Dystonia makes it hard to walk so he is not as active as he used ( Read more... )

The 2nd of November was a busy day. It was my eldest daughter's birthday and Steve and my wedding anniversary. We had a quiet night on Halloween due to the rain. Sadly where we are we don't get many trick-or-treaters as we are in a unit block. It is nice to see in Australia that Halloween is becoming more popular. We did go to the last night of the ( Read more... )

I have not been on much as I have been having some ups and downs with my health. Nothing big, just annoying little things mostly.  It has been a pretty good week with a birthday for two of my granddaughters. It was a nice family get-together. It rained but we were all under shelter so it didn't affect the party.

The weather was nice so Steve and I ( Read more... )

It's been a quieter this week. Steve still had a few medical appointments but that is just life for us now. Steve is really getting on with his new support worker Nathan.

He comes out twice a week to take Steve to his appointments and shopping. Stuff like that. Nathan is a nice bloke and they seem to have a lot in common which is great. I am glad ( Read more... )

Finally a day at home, the last few weeks have been so busy between all the medical stuff and NDIS things we have had to do. I am also recovering from an eye infection on top of it all. Today I have decided to do nothing, just catch up on my reading and stuff like that.

Other news, I finally got some good news, the lump on my left index finger is ( Read more... )
