Things are looking up!

Hubs went back to see the doc yesterday, (it meant he had to leave work early but who is he to complain)!! *L*

He was given 'long-term' meds to help make him better and some percocet for the pain. He took two of those straightaway and was happy not to be feeling any pain for the first time in nearly a month!
His other meds should kick in in a day or so and, hopefully, it won't be long til I have my daft bugger back again - it's been too bloody long!

The lil man slept all night last night, (which might or might not have had anything to do with the dose of Motrin I gave him before bed) and we both had a lie-in til 9 this morning which would have been more beneficial if I hadn't have been waiting up til after 2am to see if there would be a repeat of previous nights! Still, I'm not complaining but Hubs better get back to sleeping in our bed again soon cos this staying up too late malarky is becoming a bad habit!

Here's hoping that both my 'boys' are totally sorted now and we can get on with all the stuff that needs doing to move.

I've not been posting on here these past few days cos I've either been tired, busy or both.

I just don't know where my days have gone!

The lil man's not been sleeping so well for a few nights which means I've not either. Hubs is still kipping downstairs but he is getting better, slowly. His rash is fading but he still has bouts of pain along the nerve which was affected. I had to get the poor guy some more prescription painkillers on Monday, (actually had no hassle whatsoever this time when I phoned the doc's)!

These painkillers are so strong that he let me drive his truck back from having had our evening cuppa last night cos he was feeling out of it!

As I was driving us back I could see the flashing lights of an ambulance coming up behind us, speeding in our direction. When I first tried to move across to the other lane the knob who was in that lane but just behind us tried to speed up and stop me moving over but then he must've spotted the lights too and deigned to let me in.



I was so angry at him that I could've gotten out and given him a mouthful - tosser!

To top my evening off I only went and let go of one end of a necklace I was halfway through making and all the beads fell on the floor! Pillock! They were seed beads too - the smallest and most fiddly ones to thread!!

***sigh***

Busy, busy!

I don't really have time to be sitting around doing this but I thought I'd best put something down as the post I made yesterday vanished into thin air, (my own fault though)!

I got the dude coming over this afternoon to fix the garage door, (finally - it's been broke since before I moved over here) and I have to get to FedEx to ship a watch off to it's new owner.
I also have to get together a lil care package for a friend of mine who's fallen on hard times. Three of us are sending her some presents and she doesn't know a thing about it! I know we're supposed to be saving our pennies but this gal is running short and her needs are greater right now, particularly as she has a lil one about the lil man's age.
I can't decide whether to get her some gift cards or just go onto the grocery store's site and order her some stuff, (they'll deliver to her door).
Hmmmmm...
If I was in England I'd know exactly what to order but people's tastes are different over here.

Oh well, I'll look more closely at the site later and make a decision. *L*

Hubs is finally back to work - he went back yesterday but almost called it quits due to a mistake that his boss made, (which he later corrected her on) so we're still on schedule and the ticker stays!




He's still in some pain, (particularly as he forgot to take his meds to work with him yesterday) and still kipping downstairs but he is getting better.
Hopefully he'll be much better by next week!

Well, now seems like the best time to get my shower as the lil man is busy watching Nick Jr.

Time to get on with the day! *L*

Good grief it's freezing!!!!!!


I think the title says it all!

My nose is froze, my fingers are froze - the rings on my fingers are spinning around like the wheels of a car with every keystroke!

I think my body temperature has finally returned to normal after the last pregnancy, (it's only taken a year or so...)!! I'm actually feeling cold with a jacket on - must dig out some rollneck sweaters.

My car has been showing a temperature of 10.5℃ during the day - I don't think I'd like to see what it would say at night!

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've just read another interesting, (though short) article in Reader's Digest about a guy who deliberately gets hypothermic for a living - he must be nuts!

The Hubster is feeling somewhat better after two days of medication though the blisters still give him pain or, rather, the area of the blistering hurts. His skin is so sensitive that when I was stood behind him earlier, fairly close, and I raised my hand to scratch my nose, he flinched. I hadn't touched him at all! I guess he must have sensed it though and that was enough to make him think that maybe I had.

He's still kipping on the bunkbed downstairs as he wouldn't be able to cope with the lil man whacking him at all during the night when he comes in bed with us. Hopefully he'll be back upstairs soon.

Talking of which - look at the bloody time!

Another day...

...With my wonderful Hubs at home! *L*

He's actually been helpful while I've been recuperating from my visit to the mouth butcher.
For the second night running he's let me sleep on my ownsome downstairs while he gets the bed upstairs - he also gets sole supervision of the lil man during the night which means I can get some restorative sleep down here, (which is the main aim of all this seperate beds business)!

He was on a bit of a downer earlier when he discovered that the gold on one of the watches he wanted to sell, (to help fund our move) was just plating and was starting to wear off. Now he'll get nowhere near the price he wanted for it and is debating whether or not to sell his beloved Panerai instead.
I really hope he doesn't have to as it has sentimental value, (we got both his and mine on the same day) and, despite the emotional ties I have to my Rolly, I think I would rather that he sold that instead.

I'm kinda kicking myself as I've gotten myself hung up on 'stuff' since I've been here in the States. It's the same trap that so many have fallen into and it's hard to get out of that way of thinking but it's something that has to be done cos living in the UK is not really about having 'stuff', though it's nice, it's more about quality of life and time together there, (at least to my mind it is).

Still, so far, so good, as far as the moving funds are concerned. We've not done bad considering we've not concentrated too much on it, (well, to be honest, I haven't given it much thought yet anyhow)!
We've a ton of stuff to put out there to be sold - it's just a matter of jotting down details and getting them out there for people to see.

Well, I should call it a night - just over 5 hours til Hubs has to get up for work so I need to get some sleep in to make this seperation worthwhile!
