Despite the fact that I was working our weekend turned out to have a few nice surprises. On Thursday when we got home we found a man standing on top of a ladder in front of our front door. He was removing the light bulb from our outside light. We were puzzled since we [...]
So I went back to the physio on Wednesday. My knee was definitely still not feeling 100%. I was sceptical about going back, especially since the appointments aren’t cheap and I wasn’t sure how effecting they would be. Shortly after I arrived, she had warmed up the ‘bean bags’ and she asked me whether she [...]
I never though I would say this. Perhaps I’ll change my mind. Here goes. I prefer not having a housekeeper. There. I said it. Pick your jaw up off the floor. It is there in black and white. I set up a chore chart. Rudi and I split the chores. It’s a two [...]
Over the weekend I got really sick and tired of my knee not feeling better. Taking anti-inflammatories and putting on patches only offered temporary relief. I would wake up in the morning and my knee would feel better, but it would just deteriorate during the day again. My right knee also started complaining because I [...]
We spent the weekend with my grandparents (my biological father’s mother and his stepfather, whom I have always known as my grandfather). When we reunited with them last year my grandmother said she would love to have us for a weekend. Even though we were willing to drive through for a day, she seemed to [...]
I get excited over silly small things… Recently my sensible, sturdy cover for my Blackberry broke. I can only assume I had dropped it one too many times. I finally had an excuse to buy myself a pretty, sparkly cover from Pop Skin: The cover is decorated with Swarovski crystals. If any [...]
I am yet to order Babyice’s birthday cake. I’ve been looking for a picture to put on it. I found a picture, but it needed some editing. I remember that Leebeesa edited some pictures for her nephews birthday and she was happy to oblige This is what she has come up with. I think [...]
I just had to share this story: Rudi and I were in a Spar (a local supermarket) to pick up a few necessities. Rudi had gone to stand in the queue while I kept an eye on Babyice. Babyice made a run for it and I was left chasing him around the store. It’s [...]
On Friday when we went to gym my left knee started protesting to being on the elliptical after just a few minutes. Frustrated, I got off after 10 minutes thinking a cycle would be easier. While on the bike my knee continued to complain. It was uncomfortable to say the least and I only felt [...]
So I spent the large majority of my weekend doing housework. Not only did we have to clear the backlog of ironing that had been created by the absence of our housekeeper, but I did a lot of the things she had been neglecting to do. The kitchen is a daily battle. Even though [...]
