Taking Stock - August

better late than never !


Making: No sense ... why Hubby bought the minions new loom bands !!!


Cooking: Steak for dinner tonight  (Hubby will man the BBQ and I give orders)

Drinking: Hot tea , something I missed in hospital last week.

Reading: 'Saving Grace' - I just finished the Notebook (quite a contast in the loving between man and wife)

Wanting: To get back to exercising already (mandatory 3-4 break due to hysterectomy recovery)

Looking: Outside, wondering where the new (nine) calves are ?

Playing: Boys last game of soccer today

Sewing: Who me ?  Admiring my surgeon's amazing sewing skills.

Wishing: For a break on the medical rollercoaster

Enjoying:
Hot tea (wine and cider tasted awful last night and I'm hoping it doesn't last)

Waiting: 
Further surgery to get better margins where the melanoma insitu [on my face] was removed. Surgeon #2 couldn't squeeze it in last Monday while I was already under for Hysterectomy.

Liking: Sweet Potato Fries - is there anything tastier ?
Deciding: what invitation design I will use for our Dragon Boat Team's 10th Anniversary.

Considering: New roses for my garden - since we are selling our Sydney home and I'll have to say farewell to Charlotte's garden

Sorting: the clean washing, to be folded by me (least I can do) and put away by hubby.

Wondering: if the sun is going to come out today - a gentle walk is on my list to see the new calves.
Loving: My husband - who goes above and beyond for me (makes an especially fine cup of tea)

Hoping: Our Sydney house sells quickly.

Needing: To de-clutter and let it go on a major scale. I'll have time up my sleeve now.

Smelling: The anticipation of new fragrant roses

Wearing: Tracksuit pants - my belly looks like I'm 6 months pregnant

Noticing: I forget less things - using my new Any.do app

Knowing:
That I have a lot to do in the next few weeks !

Thinking: Our Crusing holiday can't come quickly enough  [Oct].

Feeling: Anxious and nervous about more surgery - especially on my face.

Bookmarking: Recipes to Pinterest that I probably won't make

Opening: A lovely card from a friend

Giggling: Hardly - It hurts to laugh , cough or anything right now but I've had a few quiet chuckles browsing facebook. 


Grateful: for the wonderful family holiday we had in Cairns and winning Gold & Silver medals in Dragon Boating 13km marathon [Masters Games]

Pondering : It's been 11yrs on Tuesday since Charlotte was born still , 10yrs this week since we said goodbye to my Dad . Time flies and memories remain bittersweet.

Your pretty rose pic brought me here today. Sorry to hear you've had more surgery, but at least things will be better in the long run.

Taking stock:
Needing to get more glasses; I'm getting blinder by the minute!

Reading A Thousand Splendid Suns. Turning the pages like crazy! I read the Saving Grace series last month and really enjoyed it. So Aussie.

Bookmarking uplifting quotes on pinterest.

Giggling at Are You Paying Attention on Monday night TV. Lowbrow, but we have so many laughs!
My recent post Hey, it's 2015!
It’s remarkable to go to see this website and reading the views of all mates concerning this article, while I am also keen of getting know-how. This is my first time to visit here. I found countless entertaining stuff in your blog, especially in its discussion. I guess I am not the only one having all the enjoyment here! Keep up the superb work.
I'm enjoying being freshly Australian, waiting for spring, hoping it's true what they say about Offspring coming back for a sixth season and looking back to this time last year when I was running the Disneyland Half Marathon. How do you feel about selling the house in Sydney? Thinking of you and hope you get a break from the surgeon's scissors soon! The good news is your cruise is a-coming! Isn't it great to have something to look forward to!?

I feel bittersweet , I doubt we'll return to Sydney so it's time. We are helping some friends in dire need too so I know I'll get over it.
I cannot wait for the cruise it is like an early Christmas.
I so understand your admiration of your surgeon's sewing! Sounds like lots has been going on. it's great that you have the cruise to look forward to. Hoping all falls into place for the sale of your house!
