Medical Mystery

For a week now I've had a pain that goes from my jaw up through my ear to the top of my head. On Wednesday it was so bad I decided to get it checked by my dr. Unfortunately there were no appointments til Friday, but they suggested checking with my dentist. I was able to get an appointment the next day. However she was at a loss as to what might be causing it & suggested it was maybe a muscle strain. Friday I still had the pain so I went to the dr. He also had no idea as to what it could be, although he did say my nerve may be slightly irritated. In any case both of their treatments was to just take pain killers & wait to see what happened.

Sometimes to wait

This is a song I really like & I felt like sharing it.

Sometimes to Wait on You

Sometimes to wait on you
is so very hard to do.
I know I can trust You Lord,
You will see me through.
Those things so important that
are hardly worth the time.
Your eyes they're all seeing Lord,
and you love me all the time.

Lord, let my heart trust you now
You know I wait on you
I've found you to never fail
I'll always look to you.
Lord, you're my salvation now
You know I wait on you

I've found you to never fail

I'll always look to you.

So many things I think I want,

but you Lord always knew

The things that make for happiness

are always found in You.

Who knows my heart any better Lord,

any better than You.

Because You know all things Lord,

You know my real needs too.

Knowing how You love me Lord,

should make my heart stay true.

It seems I always think of me,

before I think of You.

Your ways they are so high,

your thoughts are nobel & true.

Because you're all loving Lord,

let me always trust in You.

Ash + Compost = Fire

As of Sunday night we no longer have a compost bin. This is thanks to our resident fire bug (aka Tom) emptying the remaining ashes from our BBQ into the plastic compost bin filled with dead branches, dries grass etc.
This is the 3rd time we have had an incident involving ashes & plastic & smoke. In reply to the question will he ever learn his lesson, his defense was "This is the first time I've actually created a fire". Luckily the only victims of this incident were the compost bin, 3 panes of glass in the greenhouse & my beloved cucumber plant.

One does wonder though how he manages in his job as a Process & SAFETY engineer!

Better Late Than Never

Yesterday we held our first ladies craft morning. It was a great morning of chatting, getting to know each other & catching up on craft projects that have been sitting neglected. My project was to start our wedding scrapbook. Yes it's only 5yrs behind, but now I've started I'm determined to keep going & get it finished. It's going a bit slow at the moment as this is my first proper attempt at scrapbooking, but I'm hoping as I get going it will become easier.

If it's not one thing...

it's another.

Last week Joshua was not going to sleep at night without a 2hr or more long protest. We put it down to the upset in routine over the Easter (though I did notice his next 2 top teeth peeping through on Thursday). Well that settled down by the weekend, but now he won't have a bath. He simply refuses to come to the bathroom or get in the bath. This is very unusual for him as normally he comes running the moment he hears the water running & tried to jump in clothes and all.

On the plus side it's an absolute joy & pleasure to watch him growing & developing at the moment. Many laughs & entertainment. He is able to entertain himself more & more now, though also enjoying when Mum or Dad joins in the action. He's becoming very independent, wanting to do things by himself, including helping mummy water the plants, unlocking the door & putting lids on jars. He is also becoming a lot more aware/interested in things around when we're out walking or driving. His favourite things at the moment are, trucks/buses/vans/cranes/tractors etc (which elicit a loud exclamation of awe), trains (which are heralded by an enthusiastic "fooot fooot") & Bob the Builder (which he tries to say). All animals also attract a great deal of interest & appropriate noises made.
