Friday....

This week I am grateful for several things....
  • I am grateful that my caffeine withdrawal headache has now lifted and I am feeling so much better than I was a few days ago - and of course I am now caffeine free which has got to be a good thing.
  • I am grateful to the powers that be who brought my wonderful S a whole 3 hrs closer to me. Not much to most people, but to me, soppy sod that I am, it has been wonderful knowing that he is 3hrs and nearly 3,000 miles closer. of course when he returns to SM on Sunday I will feel resentful instead of grateful, but for now I am just going to enjoy the moment while it lasts.
  • I am so grateful to my beautiful A, gorgeous G and handsome H - who have been quiet and supportive during these last few days while I have been feeling so completely dreadful.
Who knows exactly what the next 7 days will bring, Hopefully there will be positive news regarding the visa. I know I have a nasty day on Thursday, a gastroscopy - what joy! That will not be fun but it is necessary because I am fed up to the back teeth of suffering from heartburn, and if a reason can be found for it, it stands to reason that it can be fixed and that will be fantastic! Also next week I may actually get some good news on the job front, which would be a relief and take some of the pressure off.

I do my best to be a glass half full kind of girl, but I have to admit that it has been kind of hard since my return from SM. However I am now feeling much more positive, it's as if the negativity left me with the caffeine, and I feel so much brighter and ready to take on the world again....

  2. Cranky - thank you for that heartburn cure..If I was only getting it occasionally that would probably be great, but as it is a daily thing, that would mean consuming rather a lot of baking soda, and as I am sure you know, it also has a very rapid effect on another part of the body, and I am planning to move over the SM not into the bathroom!....lol

  3. A gastroscopy sounds scary, Lou. I hope it all goes well on Thursday. We'll all be thinking of you. x
