Dot Points

Just a few things happening in our world at the moment in no particular order and with no rhymr or reason!

* nearly finished picking our apples, one more pick for juice to go.
* ive picked up some really groovy yarn and am crocheting a really cool lap rug
* ive cut some ouf my quilt our but i feel so cacky handed and i am sure im doing it wrong:(
* im back at work full on, doesnt even feel like ive been away.
* im learning our new point of sale till program, which means i am learning how to make all those buttons on the touch screen tills give you the right prices when you press them, i am enjoying it although it is very hard when i am on and off it like you wouldnt believe due to other things i have todo at work. It would be so good if i could just get a run at it and go!
* Ive been playing on the Wii, was looking tonight at some new Wii fitness games, a jillian michaels one as well as bob and jillian from biggest loser which has heaps of extra stuff with it and what i really liked was active sports, then you can buy another game which continues on from the other one if you want.
* i have gone back to the gym, i got measured today and was devastated, i knew i had gained but not as much as i did....although i lost half a kilo!!!!! go figure, my trainer says its cause ive gotten soft :O...hahaha
* I like GLEE!!!!!! I love the music!
* We went to big W tonight as a family, we so seldom get to do that anymore and it was so lovely to wander together and apart and check stuff out. We lashed out and got two couch covers, in target so expensive, managed to pick then up for like 34 bucks each:)
* Have just about scraped all the pears.
* Apricots, YES WE STILL HAVE THEM.....are ready to be sorted and sold off.
* Getting my hearing aid next Monday the 24th May.
* Am going to Mildura on the 6th of June for pleasure and i cant wait:) Am thinking of photos and layouts to do:)
* rearranged the lounge room and added a beanbag tonight along with the new couch covers.
* Leigh is helping more around the house...im so pleased he has come of age as it were. I know sometimes he has had me pulling my hair out put at heart he is a sweetie and i so damn love him.
* oh he and his girlfriend have been together for jsut over 12 months.
* went to a friends 25th wedding anniversary
* started pruning with the chainsaw. You know i absolutley love pruning with the chainsaw, i get results. I love that you get such a buzz seeing all those branches fall to the ground and bring order to chaos. I must remember to take photos actually.
* Leigh got yet another car! That totals 4 yes 4!!!!! A gold VL berlina which is for sale....any one want it, a navara twincab utility which is also for sale! HE has his white VL but he was just given yes GIVEN another white VL which is leighs dream car it has a 5 speed manual on gas...only thing is, it is really quite in rough condition but the boys are doing it as a project car, they have already sanded the back quarter panel back to bare metal. Leigh is taken photos as he and dad go so it should be interesting to look back on them:)
* Leigh is doing TAFE once a week and he has just done a welding module, including mig, and some others i dont know what they are called, he is thinking that he may follow this path.....lets see. He is looking for another job as he is not happy where he is and really i think after giving him no shifts for 4 weeks that they are waitng for him to get jack of it and just leave.....so they dont have to actually sack him....
* hmmm thinking thats it for now but im sure as soon as i sign off i will remember more
have a great week......xx

The best way to deal with uncertainty is one step at a time...

That is what is happening here at the moment:)
I dont really want to hash over old details and i am trying so very hard to be positive with the changes that are going on in our lives at the moment.

After going to the Ear Nose and Throat Specialist for a check into my symptoms from Labryinthitis (sp?) he sent me to get a hearing test,,,no body thought to do one here at home, it did cross my mind but like me i guess the drs figured my hearing will come back in its own sweet time.....well apparantly not so!

After getting my hearing checked, my right ear results were not very good....now the results i didnt understand all i heard really was *unlikely to return*....trying to put on a brave front and thinking oh well hearing aid for me:)

It was after we left the office it hit me, i have to wear a hearing aid....well i lost it for a few minutes......at the end of it all though, i have only partly lost the hearing in one ear, i didnt lose a limb and my brain still works (kinda:p) so i just have to be a princess and suck it up and move on with my life.

This got us to thinking and Darrel rang the man who did my hearing test to find out exactly what we will be dealing with. Well it seems i only have 40% coherant hearing in my right ear, which really is better than before because i literally had none.
We have started the ball rolling on the hearing aid because i dont go back to the ENT guy til the end of may, then it will be over two weeks wait until i get my aid so we have organised to get the mould done.

I really need to get some thing happening because my boss needs to know what i am doing, i am on modified duties but i dont want to be doing what i am doing at the moment because it is hard work.....im cleaning as in industrial stuff:(
I was hoping to help and get into learn the new Point of Sale tills and program she in introducing into the shop but the man has yet to come back to show us more so we are waiting there too.

I am feeling pressure from a person at work who is being quite hostile, im not feeling like i am welcome there at all and this is upsetting me to some degree. But i have to let it go and focus on us.

I am off to have a MRI scan on thursday and to be honest i am packing it:( I cant help but think that qoute " hearing loss resulting from Labryinthitis is rare but can happen" unquote....... and that no news will be good news from the MRI..... but what happens if i am *one of the unlucky ones* and chosen again to receive the bad part of the news...like i said ...a bit hard to be positive.....

However i am trying......
I have a hubby who loves me to pieces...
i adore my kids, and although they drive me crazy at times.....whose kids dont?...god i love em to pieces...
i do have arms and legs that work....
my puppies make me laugh so much.....
i do for all intents and purposes still have a job.....
we have a roof over our head and food on the table....
i have friends that care for me...some even love mexxx thanks guys....

Well i shall pop back at some other later date to update on my life......fingers crossed that NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS...... please please pleasexxx
