Finally cleaning out

Have been doing some clearing out of things, clothes I hate and haven't worn, also sorting thru things to make room in the wardrobe so I can get to my clothes, I have always had trouble throwing out things even to the op shops but I finally did it and it was VERY freeing.
I moved the divider and put it behind my desk and gave away the little table etc and have heaps more room and NO I am not getting anymore!!!!
Think I do well as all i own fits into this very large room,I am enjoying the extra room.
We have been having a heat wave in Australia and I must admit today did get to me a little i felt ite dizzy with it and had a ripper headache, it did cool down with a nice breeze this afternoon, but tonite is quite hot which is unusual,as we are lucky and don't often get hot nights.
Well I am off to sleep now ready to face another hot day.

One of those weeks!!!!!

We all have them, well trips to America seem to stir my teeth up or is it just coincidence? Abcesses seem to pop up when I come home from my trips, this is the second time ,would you believe?
After a night of a sudden onset of throbbing pain and another 2 days till I could see a dentist I am no longer in agony but $800.00 poorer.
The joys of older age, the tooth had to be saved as I am short of them!!
Then I ran into a friend at the shops only to be asked "Have you put on weight in America? To which I replied NO, then got, well youre face is fat!!Could be the abcess , as it was swollen duh.! Then Gee, your hair looks like a GOLLIWOGS!!!!
Boy one has to sometimes have VERY thick skin in this life. I was going to get my hair cut as it's getting a bit hard to handle but after the bill I just got from the dentist I will have to look like a golliwog a bit longer!!!!
Roll on next week, hopefully it will be better!!!

And I thought it was a MOUSE!!!!!

Well think it may be the last time I let the cat out on a nightly sojourn!
i had let the cat out for a little while, I don't feed her till later and she doesn't stay out long.

Well , I heard the customary tap on the screen door and let her in, thought it funny that she disapeared and thought, Oh no don't tell me she has a mouse, and promptly went to find her.
There she was under my desk playing with a baby SNAKE!!!! YES and a BLACK one at that!!!
So I madly tried to keep the cat and the snake APART and yelled madly for Anthony, who was cooking a barbeque.
He finally came with Yves his friend and they caught the snake and took it to the drain much to my relief!!!!
My cat has been kept on her lead since then, cause in Christine's words,  in her french accent, where there's a baby there's a MOTHER!!!!

Missing my American Grandbabies

Well since arriving back in Australia I've felt like I've been hit by a bus!!!! Jetlag really sucks, I've gone from not being able to sleep until 1am in America, then when i am supposed to be awake and bushy tailed, feeling almost comatose, to here in Aus going to bed with the chooks and waking with them!!!!

I went for a walk at 6am this morning and NO I didn't wet the bed!!!

I am missing my grandkids over there SOOOOO much its agony ! I found Nathan and Karen's phone number and rang this morning but got the times mixed up and Jentzen was napping but got to talk to Ava and Quaid and Karen and I'm going to ring later to talk to Jentzen and maybe hear Keira heavy breathe!

I'm thinking it would have been easier not to have gone , gotten to  know them , only to have to leave, knowing it may be 5years before we see each other again, that being if I am allowed to fly by then.

I have come to love them very much, they are so beautiful, all with different personalities and each hold a very special part in Nana's heart.
