CARRYING ON FROM YESTERDAY

Up VERY early today... I'm taking Mum and Ron out to the airport.
They have to book in 2 hrs before their flight.  So we have to be there by 4 am!
Freakin hell... I'm going to be tired later on today.

Once they are safely dropped off I'm coming home and hopefully catching a couple of hours sleep before I have to get up again and make the kids lunches.

THEN... I'm on duty at the Hospice shop this morning too.  The manager, Deb, asked me to do mornings on Thursdays from now on as she's lost her morning volunteer.  I said "fine by me".  So, I'll be getting home around 1.30 today.

And yikes!  Just remembered I've got a Doctor's appointment at 1.15 too!  Bugger, going to be tight fitting that in.  

It's me 3 monthly health review.  I wonder how my blood test results are?  I HOPE THEY ARE STILL GOOD.

Right... here's a few more photos from yesterday:


ABOVE: this is my favorite photo from lunch yesterday.

And here's a few collage groups:


 ABOVE:  The girls.  Over trying to 'hide' Keera.  So she's back on.


 ABOVE:  I love doing collages!

 ABOVE: How adorable is this ?  Dante loved his Great Grandma!

ABOVE:  He thinks he's 'ALL THAT"!  
Yes Steve, you are lovely.
*SNORT*

ONWARD...


DEE:   I shall post some photos of mug rugs later on today, then you can choose one.  Send me an email of your address.... stewandchris@hotmail.com 

Right:  Hospice Shop was busy one moment and quiet the next... on a whole.. enjoyed being there.
FOUND. MORE. TREASURE.  ... but can't show ya right now cos...

I got a phone call from the school... Griffin hurt his really sore toe again.  Somebody stood on it.  *sigh*... so I'm taking him to the Dr's, so it can be looked at.  It's a mess.

Doctor's visit for me:  EXCELLENT NEWS.
My metformin dose has been dropped DRASTICALLY... because my ONWARD FOR LIFE PLAN is working rather well!   

Blood pressure was a bit higher today... but I was rushing around, trying to get up to school to get Griffin.

CHOLESTEROL:  sky high and rocketing.  I'm MUST start taking the medication to help lower it.  I've done all I can 'diet' wise to get it under control, but it hasn't worked.

Now I have about 30 minutes 'rest' before taking Griffin to the Dr about his bloody toe.

The damn toe is infected, so Griffin is on antibiotics... that have to be taken on an empty stomach.  Feck, can't think of when that kid's stomach is ever empty!
And they have to be taken 4 times a day.  THAT is going to a nightmare.  


 ABOVE: lots of buttons... some are lovely.


ABOVE: lots of clothes for Brylee, a couple of fine knit jumpers for me, a lovely warm woolen blanket and some cute little bowls. 

I swear, the Hospice Shop is a dangerous place for me!  And I work there twice a week.  *sigh*  I just can't pass a bargin. 

End of Day:  and I've tired.  I will be having an early night tonight.
nite nite

  12. Poor Griffin-- A sore toe is no fun. I hope he gets some relief soon.

    Congrats on your results and forward movement in your Onward For Life Plan. Now if that pesky cholesterol would just come down.

  17. Great pics! Love the buttons! Poor Griffin!

    A friend of mine was able to lower his choleterol by being super careful of his diet (like tons of veggies) and a lot of exercise but it's a lot of work!
