A NEW DAY DAWNS

And I hope it is a good day for our grandson Liam.  Hopefully he is still doing well after giving his family a big scare on Thursday.

There had been plans to travel down to Hamilton to visit and give him a cuddle, but ... not to be.  Not welcome ... 

So... moving on, cos there is nothing to be gained by dwelling on unpleasantness...

It is going to be a lovely day.  I have several mug rugs waiting to be stitched, and grocery shopping to be done.
And... well, we shall just go about our lives as per usual I suppose.

I bought a small bag of Jelly Beans yesterday.  I had planned on having them as my weekly 'treat'. So, after I had shared them out amongst all 6 of us, I didn't feel bad AT ALL in having my share.
It was evil... pure sugar... but life is for living and I'd not had a single Jelly Bean in MONTHS!
So... instead of bingeing I allocated myself a certain amount, I ate them... and I can now safely say I don't want any more (well not for a few more months anyway!).

Now that a certain little girl is crawling and pulling herself up ....

ABOVE:  clearly we need to lower the porta-cot's base or she is going to tip out of it!

ABOVE:  isn't she just gorgeous!  Such a little imp... she drives Lacy nuts some days... but she is so cute how could anyone not fall in love with her?  

OK... it's time to pull finger and make a start on the day...

ONWARD...

Clearly... I forgot to do something yesterday.
COMPARISON PHOTO FOR DAY 120...
So.. here goes:

First photos taken on the 5th of December.  And 6 months later... After changing my eating patterns for 120 days.  4 Months of doing things right.

I hardly recognise myself from 6 months ago! 

ABOVE: Whoops!  Grandma kissed me again!!!
Naughty Grandma.

This afternoon Stew, Brylee, Griffin and I went over to Botany to get some spacers so we can put the new stair guard up.  Keera is crawling now, so it's imperative we make the house safe for her, and Dante of course.
I had an ice cream.  I felt rather guilty, but hell... I can walk it off during the week for sure.

And ... life is for living... and I take Metformin to help counter-act the once in a while evilness eh.

While we were out, Bex and Dante went for a long walk down to the Botanic Gardens... where they ran into Deb, the midwife who delivered Keera and Dante.  That would have been lovely, wish I'd been with her now.  
Oh well... I'm sure this family is not finished with Deb's midwifery services yet.  *smiles*

End of Day:  a nice day... and now I'm off to do some sewing in me garage... OK... it's me bedroom/gym/sewing room all rolled into one.
I like it!
