So my grandfather has received his results from his scan. It’s not good news. He has additional spots on his liver now and it seems to be spreading. His oncologist wants him to come in to see him on Monday so that they can discuss a treatment plan. The oncologist has already said he wants [...]
So we’ve had potential bad news about my grandfather. About a week and half ago he was experiencing abdominal pain. He was concerned about it and went straight to his oncologist. The oncologist drew blood and last week he received the results. The oncologist believes the results indicate that his cancer is spreading. He had to go [...]
The weekend was quite lovely. It was too short, of course, but lovely none the less. On Saturday Rudi and I joined @al_ice for her birthday in Kirstenbosch Gardens. We spent practically the whole day lounging around on the grass while eating, drinking and chatting to friends. The weather really played along except for [...]
Forkit. Work was HELL today. The work was fine, actually. Problem is our air con was out. It was 32 degrees outside. Inside there are a ton of PCs and hot breathing people. I was literally sticking to my desk. Disgusting! Of course, it doesn’t help that I am incubating! My feet started getting all [...]
So after that little run in with My Evil Mother I decided enough is enough. I also decided that I need to set boundaries with my grandparents as it’s all good and well that I ignore her calls and delete her messages without reading them, but if they keep sucking me into her crap, I [...]
I’ve had ENOUGH. Seriously. I’ve been ignoring her calls for a good two weeks, also her messages. Last night Rudi had opened one that she had sent. The exchange was as follows (I need to keep the caps, etc. as is): HER: ignore the person who gave life to you – way to go [...]
The weekend was pretty chilled. We went to get a new phone for Rudi on Saturday. He did get the Samsung Star. I’ve changed my mind about lusting after the phone though. It has no 3G or HSDPA. Now we can’t have that, now can we? I also get to play with it whenever I [...]
Antenatal class went on very late last night. We had a session on breastfeeding. It was all very, very interesting. I would honestly love to breastfeed. I’m going to try my very best. Please remind me when I get frustrated and I’m ‘so over this breastfeeding thing’. Point me back here. I was thinking of [...]
Heartburn is fun. Not. So after a suggestion at antenatal class last week I decided that we should elevate the head of our bed to prevent myself from waking up with really sucky heartburn in the middle of the night. So the night before last I decided to try it. No heartburn in the [...]
