On the way home my car must have had a big neon sign above it flashing “Oi dickheads – drive like idiots and piss me off – please!”

grrrr…..

I’m such a dummy – it took me an hour to figure out how to turn off the default “notify me” checkbox in the new, registration not needed, comment form.

For those that design their own websites (or any sort of design actually) check out Eric Meyer’s Colour Blender – a very nice tool for getting hex colours that suit

Max is one month old today! It only seem like yesterday that we were bringing him home

My Mother was talking to Vic the other day and was asking if Max was getting enough milk. Here’s proof that he is………. He went to see the health visitor today and was weighed again. In the last eight days he’s put on 1lb 3oz! and how weighs in at 10lb 6oz.  I guess he’s getting enough…………

I also had my first day back at work (which unfortunately included 6.5 hours driving) after 2 days off and the antibiotics seem to be working as I now have a jawline on the left again I still can’t open my mouth very far but it’s getting a bit better each day. 

Have a nice weekend everyone – we’re off to see Vic’s uncle who had a minor (in a medical sense) heart attack just over a week ago and I’m taking my old PC up to him so that he’s got something to do over the next month that he’s not allowed to work or drive 🙁

I took today off work and was glad I did. I left work in the middle of the afternoon yesterday after everyone telling me how pale and spaced out I looked!  After a relatively good nights sleep last night I was up at 07:30 this morning and then fell asleep on the couch from 09:00 until 11:00 this morning! The antibiotics are dehydrating the hell outta me and I think my body’s knackered fighting off the infection. Given how shattered I was today I think I might take another day off tomorrow… yawn 🙁

Thanks for your thoughts, comments and emails everyone

And there was me thinking it was all going so well………… After having my wisdom teeth out last Tuesday I thought I was away laughing when everything was OK on Thursday. Friday my jaw was a wee bit sore but I thought that I had just overdone it and pulled the stitches or something – little did I know that those bacteria were massively busy having asexual sex and multiplying like the little buggers that they are! By Saturday the glands in my jaw were up and my jaw hardly moving……..

Sunday arrived and I had no jawline on the left to speak of as my glands were up so much and I couldn’t open my mouth more than about 1cm 🙁 A quick call to my oral surgeon, a faxed prescription and I’m now doped up to the eyeballs with pain killers and antibiotics and am seriously thinking about leaving work and going home and taking a day or two off work…….

Max has been a little bugger today according to Vic, hardly sleeping always feeding, you know – the usual.

I had a good evening though – I washed Max’s hair, gave him a bath and then gave him a full body massage with sweet almond oil. Hee hee

At lunchtime today I bought a Jabra Bluetooth headset. It’s in it’s wee holder at the moment charging up for 2 hours but I’ve already paired it with my phone so it’ll be interesting to see if it works…….
