Howdy people, so I’ve been reading some new blog posts and I’m dying of laughter. Needless to say happy am I that y’all are having a good start to the New Year.

Me, well it starts with drama. Some of which I can’t even believe.So I’ve pushed it to the back of my mind marked “To be reviewed later“. As I type I’m trying to soothe my foot. An unexpected case of pins and needles. Anyone know a cure for this? Or what causes it in the first place?

Now for the drama….I had another case of a blast from the past. This man needs to leave me alone…a simple “hi” has the power to turn me to mush…and I’m not in a mushy mood. Still that didn’t stop me from having a funny conversation a few days ago that left me giggling and blushing…damn!!! I need witchcraft or some form of hypnosis to forget that he even exists…seriously..I remember the journal I started when he broke things off (yet again) 2 years ago…I sat in the sun and wrote…wrote because I felt that if I didn’t get things written down I would burst..Everytime I remember something I would write it down. I remember that summer, so vividly as if it just happened a few days ago.  I wrote so much down that in one month I had a bulging journal.. I even took it with me when I went to visit my Gran. One morning I woke up and felt nothing..that day was glorious I tell you. I went to the wood fire and sat down with a piece of roasted maize and proceeded to burn every page on the fire. I felt so relieved. So after all that, I must be crazy talking to him again right?? I guess some people get under your skin and just refuse to leave…so I’m going to look up those hypnosis sessions…

Then the health issues which just won’t quit. This time I have a medley of swollen red eyes, swollen lymph nodes and a series of permanent headaches and sore throats…means I wake up every morning in some sort of pain…unable to speak until I have chomad my throat with a cup of soothing tea. Not good, infact its quite depressing to spend my New Years day and every day since then wrapped in a dressing gown downing hot drinks and unable to move. Now that the pain’s gone somewhat, I have the energy to actually walk out of the house and to the doctor’s office.  Actually blogging from my bed.

Now for a question. If you buy someone a gift, and they ask where it’s from, surely you wouldn’t lie about where it’s from right? Wrong! Its so easy for some people to be caught out but they still do it. So a pal decides to bring me a vase as a souvenir from his trip to Brussels.. it was pretty, and I took it for a nice gesture. Only for me to go to a shop to get a couple of door hooks, and while idly looking around waiting for my turn to pay for my items, guess what my eyes fall on….a blue and pink vase!! Similar to the one in my room that was supposedly from a special glass blowing place in Brussels!!! So I started laughing…I mean who wouldn’t? And promptly asked him why he lied to me. I’m not fussy about prezzies….so why would he lie about where he bought the damn vase from???  That is something I don’t understand.

Anyhu, I think drama keeps life interesting…or so I tell myself.

And now I shall think about the little things that are currently making me happy…like my new boots (Brown leather with a bit of a heel and button detail…sigh)….the new fairy lights in my room…so pretty..and my newly done hair….bliss is having hair that you can run your fingers through…its still a bit dodgy coz of bn in braids for so long….and oh yeah…my new hat with tiny hearts jingling from the side….(Retail therapy does do wonders!)

    I keep a journal- maybe one day I will use it for that. For now, it serves the purpose to reminding of God’s goodness.Sometimes it hurts and then God shows you why and then He shows you better and you are like “why did I cry again?”

    I’m in total agreement with you..looking back shows you how far He’s brought you

    Blasts from the past should be just that blasts….. and I guess that is why you always get that “BLAST” feeling.

    Blast feeling?? hahaha

    About your health- mami, I know the weather is not helping.But hope you do get better soon. If nothing else eat lots of chocolate.

    Thanks hun!

    Hehehehe maybe that shop imported the vase from Belgium.

    And pigs fly..lol

    Wood fire with roasted maize… reminds me of home.

    Roasted maize is def on my missing home list

    Love can do the strangest things to you. The strangest things.

    And at the end of it all, it’s the little things in the last paragraph that remind you of where, and how you are.

    Get well soon Val.

    Thanks SK
