A Lonely Time...

Two fortyfive am is a very lonely time of day, especially when you are alone & not feeling very well.
I basically have no immune system, no stress hormones, & have been in hospital very unwell (again) with the flu & a bad dose of asthma as well as a sinus infection. I have been home for a week but am a long way from being well. It will take me a long time to get my health back.
Yesterday I had to make an emergency trip to the doctors as I was having trouble breathing & was wheezing alot. They put me on the nebuliser right away, which, eventually eased my breathing & helped me feel better. My gp spent almost an hour with me getting things sorted out before he sent me home. I felt alot better after that.
However at around midnight tonight I woke up feeling like I had a temperature & was nauseous, I didn't feel well at all. I called an ambulance & they were here within minutes.
I have infected sinuses which is causing the temperature & making me feel unwell but luckily I didn't need to go back to hospital.
But as I said, 2.45 am is a lonely time when you are not feeling well & are on your own. I wanted someone to "talk" to and you're it!
My temperature settled down somewhat & the paramedics said it was no doubt caused by the sinus trouble & the fact that I still have the flu and astham problems. They were brilliant & I made sure I told them so! They spent almost an hour with me making sure I was ok & explaining things to me. Very reassuring. Even the cats were impressed!
So that's my evening story, or should I say, early morning story! I had a cup of tea took 2 Paracetamol for the temperature but I'm not feeling sleepy just yet, so I decided to blog it!
I do have some cards to download but am not feeling energetic enough to do it yet, maybe over the weekend I will do it. We'll see, I make no promises!
Well, thanks for being there, I know there will be someone who has read this.
Thanks for visiting me at this early hour of the day! {{HUGS}} from me to YOU:-)

"Crystal Mountain"

I recently visited a place, not far from here, called "Crystal Mountain". They sell literally 100's of various crystals, in all shapes & forms. Some are raw crystals and others are made into the most gorgeous jewellery you've ever seen! And the prices are very reasonable, especially compared to what you see in the shops etc.
The first photo is of one of the gorgeous blue Hydrangea flowers which was in full bloom that day. I just adored the colour so had to have a photo of it!
The other two photo's are of a huge Amethyst crystal, which was at the entrance way.
There's also a close-up of the same crystal. It was just amazing - I'd love to have one of these in my garden! I can imagine how heavy they are!
Just after my visit to Crystal Mountain, I became very unwell & was rushed off to hospital..again:-( That's twice within 6 weeks. Bummer! The price of having an immune system that doesn't work.
It's a challenge for sure.
Well thanks for visiting; {{HUGS}} from me to YOU:-)

What Do You Do...

...when the "Inspiration Fairy" has left you and you WANT to stamp but you're just not inspired by anything??
I've trawled the Internet & looked at heaps of fabulous blogs, all with wonderful cards etc, been to SCS & found heaps of great stuff...but I just can't quite get inspired to stamp:-(
I was thinking of starting a stamp group where like minded people could meet (at my place, I have plenty of room etc) & we could encourage & inspire eachother & learn new things! Would anyone be interested?! I feel that I need (want!) to stamp with other stampers rather than by myself. Leave me a comment below if you are interested or know where I can find the "Inspiration Fairy"...
Thanks!!
(PS I live in West Auckland)

Four Floors Up And Slashed to Pieces...

Well, that's what I FELT like! Let me explain...
I have just had emergency surgery to remove my gall bladder & I was up on the fourth floor & now have four "wounds" from my surgery! It was a TOTAL surprise having the the surgery, I had been on the waiting list twice & bumped off twice..well I don't NEED the waiting list NOW!
I am still a bit tender - people who have fibro feel pain alot more & we feel it for longer than everyone else, so I am ALLOWED to feel a bit grumpy!
I am thankful to the surgeon for putting me on the stand by list & getting my surgery done - no more gb attacks now!
However, I digress, (which for me, is easy..) I have not posted anything for awhile but I AM 'dabbling' with my arty farty stuff & there WILL be a new post here soon I hope! I've kind of lost my mojo (anyone finding it please send it to me asap!) and have been a little depressed lately. This was my FIFTH trip to hospital within a few months & I have had ENOUGH thank you!
So thank you for visiting & I WILL be back soon,
{{HUGS}} from me to you and have a great week:-)

I Am Still Here...

...but not doing much blogging as I am still having some ongoing serious health issues:-(
It's a long slow process which is taking it's time...and I am getting frustrated as I don't have the energy I usually have & want!
Please keep checking my blog as I do post from time to time, just not as often as usual.
Have a great weekend, {{HUGS}} from me to you:-)

Did You Miss Me?!

As some of you may have noticed, I have not posted anything for quite awhile.

I have had some reasonably serious health problems & have recently been in hospital, twice.

I am home again now:-) & today is the FIRST day for a long time that I have felt well enough to get to my blog:-)

I still have a long way to go health wise and it has been a very slow journey, but each day I am feeling a bit better than the day before.

Stuff WILL appear on this blog soon, my creative juices are returning rapidly & I will (soon!) no longer be able to resist the urge to stamp, cut, punch snip & emboss SOMETHING, I just know it!

I just got some new MS punches in the mail, as well as chocolate..two things I cannot (and will not!) resist, so things are looking up!

Thanks for visiting & not giving up on me...I will be back soon!

Have a great day..I am! {{HUGS}} fro me to you:-)

"Whatever.."

...When your only purpose in life is to entertain the Gods, there's nothing to do but put on a dam good show"!!
I had "one of those days" today & this sums up how I feel!
No cards today..maybe tomorrow:-) See ya.. thanx for visiting!

It Was An Uplifting Relationship...

...but now it's over...it was time for you to go...we'd had a blast the two of us...you supported me every day...I cried when you left...you always uplifted me when I was down...but your time was up...your use-by date had come...

no longer would I feel your soft caresses against my skin...you had to go:-(

I CHOPPED UP MY BRA!!!!! And this is all I have left!!! Some diamantes & a bow! Hey, way too good to throw out, I can use these on a card or something, maybe even make me some earrings?!! Some things just don't last the distance, huh!

...Good morning everyone! Hope you had a great weekend, I did! I have just realised that September 29th will be my 1st anniversary of my blog!! Just had to share that with everyone!

Nothing to post for today, as yet. I am off to physio soon so will get into it when I get home...have a great day!
