Posts from ‘December, 2006’

New Year is fast approaching. Less than seven hours left of this one and then it’s goodbye to 2006.
What do I hope for in 2007?
Better health without high blood pressure issues; less depression black spells and maybe a little less spasticity too. So basically we’re talking lose some weight for all of those. [...]

I’m sorry for my silence over the last few days but I’ve been finding my CP hard to deal with. Or I suppose we could say that I am finding the way others react to the limitations/challenges CP brings me and a lack of understanding about it tough. It’s all the same when [...]

Last night when I got home from my parents I made a bracelet.  And today?  Amongst going for a job interview, making another attempt at crochet and reading lots, I made five bracelets.  I messed around a little with some pom pom makers I got for Christmas too.
Beading (well, crafts in general but beading in [...]

Christmas was good in parts, rubbish in others. I enjoyed myself for the most part but I did have several crying spells over the last few days and am extremely glad to have been back in my flat for about seven hours now. I point blank could not have coped any longer and [...]

I wanted to share another of Amy Grant’s Christmas songs - Breath of Heaven (Mary’s Song). It’s another one with a calming, soothing melody which touches me. And I like the lyrics. Especially because it goes back to what Christmas should be about.
I’m not feeling particularly Christmassy, I think possibly because I [...]

120/82
I was like “hows it gone down that much in a week?!” and Julie just laughed and went “well it has and that’s great.” Seriously it was 125/95 last thursday and 145/97 ten days [...]

Why, yes, there was just a new post up here.  And now, there is not.
Read through it and decided it didn’t make a few points I wanted to and wasn’t very clear in other places.  So I changed it’s status back to draft.  If you got a trackback or a ping for it (and some [...]

I walked up to work today and was shivering by the time I got there. Then I checked my e-mail and found that Jacqui left me a comment and mentioned in it that it’s too hot where she is (Australia, Queensland I think).
Well, she’s lucky.
Because it’s currently minus 1 degree C where I live. [...]
