Grumpy cow


Now this is a pretty cocktail! Passion fruit martini and delicious.

Let's do a little update first. Back to GP and put on another course of antibiotics for a chest infection. Also been given a steroid nasal spray. If I'm not better after this I'll be getting an x-ray. My nose has started to run and the snot is turning green, which I'm thinking is good news. 

Last Friday the estate agent rang the people who cancelled the viewing and suggested they at least drive past the house, and if they liked it (and location) to knock. I really didn't think they would, but they did. They genuinely liked our house but found one they liked a little bit more. Apparently ours was a very close second. Oh well, it's a start.

You'll have heard the phrase 'Don't suffer fools gladly'? Well that is me but I've become even less tolerant. Is it where I'm feeling poorly, or just growing into a grumpy old woman? I don't know but people are sure getting on my nerves. It might not actually be that foolish (or idiotic) but if I assess it as stupid I'll be rolling my eyes! It's not even like I can't be daft myself sometimes, as I so very much can. I can say the most ridiculous things, Mark will gladly supply you with a list, and maybe I get on my own nerves. But my patience is very thin, so please be wary when communicating with me and pay attention to my eyes. If you see them roll, analyse what pathetic thing you've come out with, and apologise fast lol. 

Talking of eyes, I had to go to the optician as I was seeing flashing lights in my peripheral vision. I have posterior vitreous detachment, which is fairly common I understand but can cause a detached retina. Luckily it hasn't, but I need to be careful and get seen immediately if something else goes funny with my sight! 

All these malfunctions are not great. Also, my blood pressure has increased a bit. Well no surprises why! All the above with a little extra stress thrown in for good measure. 

Nobody sees me getting up at 6am to walk Bella then do half an hour yoga. And no one sees how much prep I do for making delicious meals and cleaning the house! That's because I don't, I sit and drink cocktails.

Have a great week and thank you for reading, and putting up with my complaints. Love you all.
