be warned

Beware the dangers of taking your husband's surname. Should have checked the net first....
One good thing about working between christmas and new year is the fact that I don't think I'll be hit by the big post-christmas blues that often hits after 2 weeks off. I was worried that it would be tough after Xmas because I would be remembering the wonderful month we had last year in New Zealand, but so far its just been good memories and not too depressing. After such a busy and positive year it would be hard to look back and be miserable about it. It is strange to think that a year ago we were here abseiling 100 metres down into a cave. Fantastic!

happy new year!

Wow, first sober new year since I realised how much fun alcohol can be! I enjoyed it in a strangely sober way! Work was fine, felt much better although didn't each much and stomach still ached from cramping all night, but was a whole lot better than the day before. We headed over to Dave and Eleanors early evening and had a nice meal, caught up on the gossip and put the world to rights.

There was a lot of champagne flowing due to Eleanor's news of being pregnant. I'd offered to drive as I still don't really feel up to alcohol so Paul made the most of it!

He's feeling a little tender now, as I am sure is most of the adult population. I feel quite smug!
We're off to the races this afternoon, it's damn cold!

not well

spent most of last night in agony with stomach cramps and throwing up. Jess was a comfort in the small hours bless her although she steadfastly refused to move from the bed to help stop my legs from seizing up. There are always limits to her cuteness.

I made it to work this morning in a dopey state, Sally was also feeling ill and we were both late in. I only mde it to about 11 though and had to come home. I felt bad, especially as Sally wasn't good either but when I realised it was only 10.30 and I had to last another 6 hours I very nearly cried.

so I came home and went straight to bed, only waking up half an hour ago. Boy do I feel better. not perfect but much more human.

I'm off for a bath and probably another sleep.
