Moonlight Ponderings

Lynn's thoughts on life.

I really hate this feeling.

I'm in a sort of blue mood again. I'm really missing home, I'm not feeling very well physically and I want something, but can't figure out what it is. I'm just very unsatisfied at the moment. *Lynn feels very sorry for herself, so please ignore her pity party*

Rich and I are thinking of going to eat at a Mexican restaurant and then to the cinema. Think we may see Man of the House, but not sure. We've spent the morning working on the next quiz. Not much else going on.

Its been very quite in blogland lately. I've just about decided to give up on my blog. My family don't really visit it very often and I don't often have anything exciting to post. Most of my online acquaintances are too busy to visit, so I don't know. Will have a think about it and decide what to do.

Nothing really seems to be going right lately. I hope that Rich and I will be able to take a holiday in May. We're looking at maybe going somewhere in England so that we can take Isabel (the dog) with us. Maybe to Norfolk or somewhere. Don't know yet. Perhaps we just need a change of scenery.

I'm off now to get ready to go out. Back later.

A bit of fun for you all:

Lynn & Rich's Ultimate Fortnightly Quiz

Rich and I have decided to do a quiz every two weeks and offer a ribbon/plaque (haven't decided which yet) graphic for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Its quite a challenging quiz (or so we think), but all the answers can be found online if you search correctly. I hope you'll all visit and take the quiz!

I'm still feeling a bit sickly today. My rib still hurts (obviously), but my stomach is feeling somewhat better. However, I seem to have now developed a head cold and I feel completely dizzy, even sitting down. Like I'm on a boat or something. Not at all pleasant.

Oh, well, that's about all that's been going on with my week! Hope everyone else's has been better and that you all have a nice weekend!

Hi all.

Sorry its been such a long time since my last post. Let's see....what's happened since last month....

Well, I went to the doctor and he had seven tests run on me. I got the results back today and he still can't determine what's wrong with me. He's changed my medication again and I'm going to see how it works. I've been in quite a lot of pain for the last month (he changed my medicine last month from what the hospital had given me and it really didn't work at all). Hopefully, the new medicine will work. I really hope we can determine what's wrong, but since we're not doing anymore tests, I don't know that we will find out what the problem is.

Also, I took a tumble down the stairs at work on the 30th March and was in quite a lot of pain. I was still hurting terribly on Friday of last week, so I called NHS Direct and they sent me to GP's On Call who determined I have a fractured rib. Let me tell you it hurts!!!!! And there's nothing they can do for it except give me pain relievers. I had been taking Co-Codemal, but it wasn't helping much, so the doctor gave me some stronger pain relievers today. They are really strong and knock me out entirely. I'm just waking up from them now. He's also said I can't go into work for a week. Which is a bit of a problem, since we're getting ready for an audit in two weeks time! I've told work that if they need me to work on anything from home, to bring it to me and I'll do the best I can.

We're at a slight standstill with Rich's visa application at the moment, since we found out that I should have been filing my Income Tax for the whole time I've been in this country! I just assumed that since I wasn't working in the US that I didn't have to file them, but I do. So now we have to go back and figure up what I've earned and fill out the paperwork before we can carry on with Rich's visa application. We're working on the paperwork now.

Not much else going on here. A belated Happy Birthday wish to Gem for yesterday and an early Happy Birthday to my Dad for tomorrow!

Buh-bye for now!
