Memoirs of a raving lunatic

Friday, January 18, 2008

I can't actually remember what I wrote last time. . .

Aaaaah now I remember I'd just had the first of about three migraines (the last was killer). We went over to Tga for the weekend after I'd finished work and had surprise of all surprises a BBQ. But hey at least they are consistent. On the Sunday Elsa (Ricks mum) and I ended up doing cross stitching for most of the morning. She even bought me one off the internet so I could do it when I went over. They all went to play golf which kinda sucked cos the light was affecting me so much I couldn't go. We didn't end up getting home until 10:30 or so that night, and Rick said that it was the hardest drive he'd ever had to do.

On Monday night I was just folding some washing (damn washing never ends) and my eyes seriously went for a spin. Then BAM it felt like someone stabbed me in the head. Massive migraine, rick was such a sweety and went to the 24hr countdown to get me drugs to help stop the pain. Went to the Dr and I'm not allowed chocolate, caffeine (!), cheese, alcohol and citrus fruits. This sucks ass.

Kris and Jamie are apparently coming over this weekend, which kinda sucks cos I had planned a surprise weekend away in Rotovagas for Rick and I, oh well, next time.

What a day

My day started with a blinding headache that I'd had since the night previously. I took Rick to work and nearly threw up all over the place, but its all good now. I went home to bed for about 5 hours and the migraine has finally gone away. I had to call up work and tell them that I wasn't coming in today, that was the first time I have ever had to do that, quite impressed really.

Rick and I are going to a BBQ tonight at Kim and Sam (Bruce) 's place after I finish Weight Watchers. It will be cool cos it will be just us four hanging out and relaxing. I think we are going to Jo and Andre's on Friday night for another BBQ, and then Tauranga for a BBQ (I suppose) for Donovan and Richards birthdays. I'm gonna try and take some photos and post them on to my blog because apparently its a lot easier to do these days. Yay.

I've just found some photo's on Ricks Computer I might have a fiddle with these and see if I can update people montage styles, hehe.

These people are my group from the Kiwi Forever Camp that I went on at the beginning of the year.
This is a picture of Rangitoto Mountain with not much snow on the top.
This is Hayley who got married to Regan (next pic).

This is Donovan and April at their wedding in 2006. They now have a son Vaan.

This was Rick and the real estate agent in our house before it had been finished and just before we bought it.

This is at Jo and Andre's wedding and we have Sue, Chaykham, Ric, Teresa and Rich. The other two are of Jo walking to get married and an arty shot of my shoes.

Yay, Yay, Yay

I've finally got access to my older blog that I thought I'd lost forever, yay. In my frustration I started up a new blog called Nicky's Weight Loss Journey which is purely about how my trials and tribulations are going with Weight Watchers and my struggles and stuff with that. This one though is all about me and what I get up to.

I have made one new years resolution and that is to keep in touch with my friends more often, and what is a better way than with the interweb. I have a face book account as well and I will try to keep up with that too.

Must dash have to do my Yoga DVD before Rick wakes up :-)
