Missing my buddy…

 

First up….the pic above is kids that represented the grandies school in the Interschool sports day recently. A small group isn’t it? Their school is small, 175 students from kindergarten to year 6.  The above competed against 5 other “smaller” schools ( each of them averaging 300 to 500 students) in the locality and amazingly came home with 2 age champions plus a shield for their sizzling performance on the day. They did amazing for such a tiny school. William is in the pic, he competed in high jump, hop skip and jump, and the year 6 100 metre relay which blitzed the field. 

They did amazing. So proud of them. 

My finger is healing very well. Have some nerve soreness happening atm but from what my surgeon tells me it is expected and occupational therapy will help with that. I start that on Wednesday. 

I had my pre-admission for my cataract surgery on my right eye today. That’s rapidly approaching, have the op on 4th June, and the left eye on 2nd July.  Hopefully that will be the end of surgeries for awhile. After all the follow up appointments I hope we can plan a long weekend getaway. Only thing is with son not living here there is no one to look after the cat, ducks and chooks.  Yeah son still living “homeless” with his druggie “mate”. Still doing drugs, still spending his wage (he is on annual leave atm and receiving holiday pay) in 2 days. He had a 1,000 dollars for the week and spent that all in two days. That included his loan payment of $125.00. Then had the nerve to ask me for money. No way. Still no angry he chooses this life. 

I’m missing my bestie, my jabber buddy. She and her hubby have just finished 2 weeks in Italy and now are in Greece, spending 2 weeks there too.  I’ve done no real walking since she’s left. Admittedly I’d my op recovery but still I could get out and move my butt. I just can’t be bothered. I’ve spent some time out in the garden last few days and done some repotting of my succulents.  Guess that’s moving 😳😘  

Anyway weigh in day…..and after a pretty good week of NO chocolate and eating proper portioned meals I managed a small loss….. remembering I didn’t weigh last week after a week long binge session. 

Below is Smudge. Our cat. Our very expensive cat. Friday night she was in a lot of distress and acting like she had something stuck in her throat. A quick trip up to the vet found she had a temp and an inflammation of the throat. A needle to settle down the inflammation, some antibiotics and some inflammatories and a few hundred dollar bill we were sent home. 💵  We are very lucky with our vet Dr Rob, he’s a big man, with huge but gentle hands. I had a follow up phone call today to check up on her. She’s nearly back to normal. I’m not her most favourite person atm as I’m the one that makes her take her medicine 💊 💊 

It’s work for me tomorrow morning, so time to wind up for the night and head to bed. Busy day ahead as I have appointments in the afternoon, and as Mum works tomorrow afternoon will be taking Miss Summer to her dance classes.
