Primping

I feel great today. I dyed my hair last night with the help of a friend/carer and she also trimmed my fringe so I can see again! It’s a really dark red and it looks GREAT.
Doing that and moving my body last night really improved my mood. I was feeling pretty blah [...]

Another step on my journey

This week should be interesting. I know it will push me in ways I’ve not been pushed in a long time and it’s likely I will struggle somewhat. But in a strange way as much as I fought against the change, I’m sort of looking forward to it here and now it’s my [...]

PSA

I just messed up the layout of my Books in 2007 page. I will fix it tomorrow - am knackered now and have another book I want to read more of before bed. It’s also not the only computer thing I’ve done wrong in the last few minutes so it’s best left alone [...]

“You’re wasting my life!”

Sometimes I really wonder where my care agency find the people it sends to me.
My sister frequently tells me to hurry up (and occasionally shut up)because I am “wasting her life”. It’s not really a phrase I use but I was tempted to when it came to my new carer tonight.
So somehow [...]

Hold It

This week the result is no loss, no gain. I actually completely forgot about weighing in because I had to deal with an important phone call the minute I got out of bed. I didn’t remember until I was dressed and had drunk something.
So it’s all holding steady which I like.

8 Things

Jacqui tagged me to share eight random things about myself.
1) I’ve volunteered for CAB for almost three years after originally thinking I might stay six months. At the moment I have no plans to leave.
2) I really lack confidence and get quite anxious at times.
3) I am good at starting things but not great [...]

Discussion Time

I am so ready to discuss in detail so if anyone wants to discuss Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, send me an e-mail emma@wheelchairprincess.com Please DO NOT leave comments with spoilers in.
I will just say here that going at midnight to get it was soooooo much fun and that I loved the book. [...]

One Year

“Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still. For they must needs be present, that love and live in that which is omnipresent. In this divine glass they see face to face; and there converse is free, as well as pure. This is [...]

Antici—–pation!

I’m getting picked up in 3/4 of an hour to go to Tesco and get my copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
I’ve re-read the previous six, finished Half Blood Prince at twenty past ten this evening.
I’m shaking, excited, can’t really believe it.
And yes, I do know it’s only a book.
Biggest question [...]

Harry Potter Predictions

In a little over 24 hours I might have my copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in my hot little hands. I’m pretty much definitely not going at midnight now but who knows?!
It’s all rather exciting.
So this is what I think will happen:
Pettigrew is toast. Harry will have some link to [...]
