Ohhhh what does this do???

For the technologically challenged amongst us...and for those of us who have to deal with them...

She's up....she's down...yup out cold....

Well it's been a while. Work has been hectic to say the least which doesn't leave much time for coffee break ramblings...or coffee breaks in general.
2010 has been off to a rather interesting start. Firstly I will say I'm liking the not so snowy weather...it's great! I'm liking the not having to get up at the crack of dawn to go and brush snow off my car (thankfully my lovely dad shovels the drive for me) and spend 3 hours getting to work sitting in bumper to bumper traffic. Last year this happened one morning and I was close to abandoning my car because I couldn't stand sitting in it any longer. That was the same morning that some old bald guy in the lane beside was staring at me constantly...so much so that when I went to drive off he also went to drive off (still staring sideways)...straight into the back of a mini van. His new mazda looked a smidge compact after that!
Work has got busier with some big changes happening but I'm really enjoying it. Except I fainted in work yesterday...again. Not embarrassing at all....hmmm. I get about 2 seconds notice due to lack of hearing then I'm out. The worst thing is I come round and feel totally normal...then a little while later I start to feel dizzy and yukkie again. So due to this having happened a few times over the past couple of years I thought I should go to the doctor. The doctor at the walk in clinic wasn't the nicest because it wasn't my normal walk in. He was very efficient and wanted me out of there. So after being asked if I was pregnant numerous times he sent me for blood tests and an ECG. I get home with my request form and show it to my mum and there's another test on it so we google it. Give you two guesses what it was for...yup, you guessed it...pregnancy test. Was the numerous times I said 'NO', 'definately not', 'nope...think I'd know' not good enough??
I went for the tests today...took my mum because I'm a sissy. I'm the worst patient when it comes to taking blood. Last time I went they tried on 3 different occassions and tried my arm, wrist and hand and still got nothing out of me. Plus, I faint...even done it lying down...my mum is a nurse and wanted to disown me for that one. So I was dreading having the blood taken...although I have to say it was actually ok and she got her 4 tubes no bother which is so unusual for me. My mum was quite suprise when I walked out after 15 minutes since she was expecting to have to scoop me off the floor. Hopefully, fingers crossed I'll find out what is wrong and it won't be anything too bad. Hoping it's just fatigue.
Started the year off on a good note though, decided to start a diet on the 20th of December. I think I might be slightly masochistic because I spent Christmas seeing lots of yummy food and having to watch it pass me by. I am thankfully 13lbs down...only another 14lbs to go! So deprivation was rewarding lol.
I have less than 6 weeks until I move into my new house...yay!! Got informed of my massive closing costs...not amused...so far beyond amused that amused would be like a pin point of a sunset in the distance of another country. However the house looks pretty so I'm glossing over that point for a minute. My house may be decorated with furniture in a new artistic format called 'le box de cardboard'. I'm really excited and honestly can't wait to just get in and know that my hard work has paid off. Unfortunately with the closing costs my want to apply for a divorce has to be put on hold. So I shall remain separated for the foreseeable future. Fingers crossed he files for it. That was a lovely thing I discovered online...his girlfriend confirming their affair online after he'd lied to me during that brief period when we attempted to be friends...really classy and just not cool.
So really 2010 has been off to an interesting start...including my son telling me last week he really wanted a baby sister...ummmmm...how about no. I'm hoping the year gets infinately better and I have some great developments.....however I'd settle for not being subjected to the extreme mortification of fainting in public ever again.
