Some sort of catch up

Its' been a while since I posted anything of much importance here, but a lot has been going on in my life. At the same time, my apologies too as I have not much in terms of blogs in a while or left comments. But here goes:

    My 25 year Matric reunion is over and done with. I helped to organize it and have regretted the decision to help plenty of times, but at the end, I am glad I did. It provided a lot of happiness to a lot of people. I will do a post later but I am at the same time totally amazed at how much people change and how little people change in 25 years.

    Little man L is doing fine - he had a crappy Saturday and a worst Sunday but today he seems fine. All the anti-biotics (two courses in a row) wrecked havoc on his tummy, but he was also just miserable, slept crappy at night and a lot in the day. I am so glad this is over - well, mostly.

    I am heading into very busy times at work - I am at the same time very grateful for work as our industry is under great economic strain, but on the other hand rather daunted by the task at hand.

    Tomorrow night is bookclub - always a highlight in my month.It will be the first month ever where I did not read a single bookclub book! Luckily the girls are super relaxed about this - so no problem.

    On Wednesday night I will be presenting the craft for "Mom's night out" at the Boys' school. I am doing mosaics and have been cutting tiles yesterday as I have only two cutters so we need to pre-cut enough for the girls to just make something, similar to a kit.

    I have finished my big mosaic project I have been busy with for ages - am going to grout it tonight and will show it soon.

    It is going rather well with the diet/life style adjustment - my cholesterol is not under the 4 mark yet, despite the medication and diet, but should be when I see her next.After 3 weeks on it I have lost half a percentage of fat and 1,7kg (but the important part is of course not weight - that is a by product). I am also a size down on pants.

    I am going to a coffe shop to have a cup and read for lunch today - I just need a bit of time away from everybody -some quiet time.

    My sinuses are  feeling the newly emerging Jacaranda flowers. Not good news.

    I love my iphone 4! It was such a great decision. That's all.

    And I do not love blogger that is not allowing me to post this! Or save it.

  1. You sound so happy in the post: Things like your son which is kinda better now, your iPhone, lifestyle change. Overall you sound happy and I am happy if that is the case.
    I too am with you - I too am grateful for what I have through these difficult recession times.

  2. Sounds like you are a busy lady!  We had our 20 year matric reunion last weekend - it was an absolute blast!  Is strange how people can change so much and yet not change at all.

    Glad that L is a lot better - how is the sleeping going?

    Enjoy your week :)

  4. Your coffee shop idea sounds like something I should start doing.  Otherwise you end up working through lunch and not taking a mental break (I can't remember the last time I took lunch for that matter).

  5. wow, well done on the diet/lifestyle adjustment.  I really need to do this too.  I am eating such crap at the moment.  I am going to have my cholestrol checked in a couple of weeks and am scared it might be high.  Better know though.

  6. It's never fun when your kids are sick.  I hope he is almost done with the flu.  I'm so proud of you for your health improvement and envious of your weight loss and decreased pant size.  Sigh...

  8. I'm looking forward to seeing what your mosaic project is!  That feeling of reward when grouting it is the best because it brings it together so nicely and then you realise it was worth all the tile cutting :)

  10. I can only imagine how much work the reunion was but I'm glad you feel it was worth it! Glad your diet/health changes are going in the right direction. Good luck! Hope you enjoyed your book and coffee at lunch. Sounds like a great escape!

  13. It's my 10-year reunion next year. I do not plan on going.

    Can't wait to see the mosaic pics!

    Hope Little Man L gets fully better soon.

  14. @60b37ed253342b5ad66d346d6e95cdc5 I was not keen on going to my 10 year either, but somehow, after 25 years it is so different!

  15. How hard is it to mosaic something? I want to do mosaic for my mom for Christmas on a coffee tray...think that's safe for a novice with no proper tools?

  16. @6786e723aaa0a1358c98634542fcda12 Not hard at all but you will need a tile cutter and the cheapies are crap. Pop me an email
