Well tomorrow we are due for our house inspection. Thankfully the house in not really dirty at any stage, but with KAG so sick, things just are not getting done like they usually would before an inspection. I am however confident that all will go well in the end.
Life is not good around here. KAG’S still sick. Just as we think she is getting better something happens to make her seem worse. Thankfully she has a Doctors appointment tomorrow. She should get the results of her blood, urine, faeces and swaps tests. Lets hope it is nothing too serious as she has been bailed up in bed for days.
Well what a few days from hell it seems to be for me. I can’t really recall how long ago it was that I have felt so bad and had so many different symptoms with any sickness I have endured. I have managed to sleep for most of the time, Coughing in between and waking myself up. I coughed so hard that I have coughed up blood on many an occasion and also found blood when wiping my nose. The coughing is terrible, when it starts it becomes very hard to stop. So much so that I get dizzy and extremely light headed. I have also got diarrhea, which is not good at all.
I visited the doctors today and informed him of my many and varied symptoms. He seems to think that I could have a infectious disease, so promptly took swabs, blood samples, urine and faeces samples to see if he could find out what is the exact cause. He also spoke to me about immunisation and after discovering I have never been immunised against anything, he advised me to get immunised, so today I finally did. The Doctor told me to go home and straight to bed, I have medication I need to take 4 times a day and also I am unable to go to work for the next five days (of which two don’t matter as they are over the weekend!), which is a real pain in the neck as I have not long started my new job. But Believe me, with the way I am and the way I feel, they are much better off without me. Especially as the Doctor seems to think what I have is highly contagious and infectious. I guess I should know more when I get the results on Friday. Until then I will remain halled up in bed for most of the days. Thankfully my Mother in law is staying with us at the moment and has been able to attend to the children for me, Other wise I, and they would be stuffed!
Back to bed now
Today the girls spent alot of time doing some Art and Craft. I must admit that this has to be one of their favourite subjects. They love to be creative and to let their imaginations run wild. So today they spent time painting Calico bags. We had done some painted T-Shirts a little earlier in the year at my work, which the children enjoyed, so I decided to buy them some of their own paints and also Calico bag a week or so ago, so they could paint them. While purchasing this I also bought some Calico material which we will cut into smaller squares and paint, sew on and create miniature art expressions to them be sewn into a larger wall hanging and art piece further into the year.
So, the girls started out with pencil and paper and designed the picture for their bags, before then recreating their designs on the actual calico. Once the designs where replicated they took to painting then with the special fabric paint we had. Luckily Babcia was staying with us and could oversee the children’s work as I was too sick to do anything really. I had not been feeling well for most of the weekend, but yesterday everything just seemed to get on top on me. So much so that I have tried to get in to see the Doctor, but Wednesday morning is the earliest I can get an appointment.
Anyway, enough about me being sick and more about my girls art work. The girls have created wonderful designs. NIK’s is all full of swirls and colours, which sums her up brilliantly, full of life and colour herself. JAHG’s is a little more tailored to her likes and dislikes, more refined and semetrical. She created a butterfly design as the main feature. Once the paint has dried, we need to iron the designs and then the girls intend to do some beading. They will be adding choice beads to the bag to enhance the overall feel, look and design. I am sure when they are finished they will look amazing.
Today we utilised our ‘Ticket of Leave’ to visit Port Arthur with Babcia. She has wanted to go there every time she has visited with us, So today was her lucky day!
