Friday's Letters

Dear iPhone,
I just bought you on Thursday...but I think I might love you already. Except for Siri, she's a bit of an idiot. She never understands me. Surely my accent isn't THAT strong!?

Dear iPhone users,
What awesome apps should I download to play with? Obviously I already have Instagram. :P Also, where did you buy your case?

Dear 4kgs/9lbs,
Goodbye! I am pleased to see the back of you! I hope you don't come back!

Dear remaining 6kgs/13lbs,
I hope you go away just as easily as the first lot. I don't like you either.

Dear Flu,
I hate you. Go away.

Dear laptop keyboard,
You are becoming more and more munted each time I try to type. I think it might be time for a visit to the Apple shop.

Dear people who phone me from numbers I don't recognise,
I will most likely let your call go to voicemail. Please don't be offended, and, if it's really important, text me instead.

Dear Dad,
There are good ideas and bad ideas. Can you guess which one this is? #donotironclothesonbody

For all my pregnant bloggy friends!

SO many bloggers I know are pregnant right now that I thought some of you might benefit from some helpful advice...

Friday's Letters

Dear FSGS,

Hurry up and go into remission. I am thoroughly sick of you now.

Dear Jeans,

Yesterday I put you on and you needed a belt! This was ridiculously exciting! I cannot wait until I'm on 10mg of Prednisone and then you might even need replacing!

Dear New Followers,

Hello! Nice to meet you! 12 more until I reach 100! #ihaveatinyblog #butiactuallykindalikeit

Dear New Blog Design,

Now that I have actually decided on a colour scheme, I am really, really excited for you! Hopefully you will make me want to blog more!

Dear Children at Work,
{most of} you are awesome, hilarious and really fun to hang out with each day...but I do not understand why some of you eat Playdough and paint....and also potting mix. Even when I have JUST finished telling you it is not for eating and has chemicals in it that are dangerous. o.O I thought planting grass seed heads was a good (safe!) idea!?

Dear Orange Juice,
I love you. You are great. I wish you came in 100 litre barrels. I would buy one.

Dear iPhone,
I am extremely tempted by you, and have been for like, ever! My birthday is kind of soon. Maybe you should be my present to myself.

And finally...a letter from someone other than me...

 

No more Grumpy Monday!

No. Really. HOW can you possibly look at this cute little pig and NOT be happy!?

That's all I have for today, folks, but I think it might just be enough! ;)

Friday's Letters (on a Saturday, again!)

Dear Rain,

You had better not arrive tomorrow. I will not be happy. I would like to do something with my Sunday.

Dear Blog,

I am glad you have finally directed back to my domain again. I think. Sometimes you work and sometimes you don't, depending on whether www is in front or not. Bah. This is frustrating.

Dear People Who Subscribe Through GFC and/or Google Reader,

Do my new posts still show up in your Dashboard or feed reader? I hope so. Otherwise...the internet ate them!

Dear Water,

I know I need to drink more of you. I just wish you were more tasty. Perhaps I should introduce you to some friends. Their names are Lemon and Feijoa. I hope you like them. I am counting on you to buddy up and save me from Unhealthy Doom; alternative name: Diet Coke.

Dear Giant Volcano in NZ,

You are quite far away from me, so even if you decide to erupt more, I probably will not die a firey and lava-y death, but I still really hope you don't. You haven't done anything for a hundred years...now is not a good time to start! No. Really. I JUST got over all the earthquakes! >.<

KABOOM!

If you ever need to demolish a building after an earthquake, this is how you ought to do it!

I didn't go into town to watch it in person, since it happened at 8am this morning and I had to be at a course all the way out by the airport at 9, but I certainly heard the HUGE boom from my house, which is about 25 kilometres away!

This was the first time a building implosion has ever been done in NZ, so it was kind of a big deal, and the privilege of "pushing the button" was auctioned off for the Child Cancer Foundation, and went for $26,000 in the end, which was pretty cool!

An extremely pressing question for a Saturday, and a Bloggy Baby Boom?

Seriously. They never are! Even if the packages are the same size and I start them on the same day, I always seem to get through one more quickly than the other.

Obviously little shampoo-drinking monsters live under my bathroom sink. That is the only explanation I can come up with.

In other news, is it just me, or is EVERY blogger in the entire world pregnant right now? Seriously. Every few days there's a new pregnancy announcement in my Google Reader! Sorry to disappoint you though, but there will certainly NOT be any mini-Hollys in the forseeble future.

Dear Lindsey Stirling,
You really are extremely talented. Why are you not more famous?!

Dear crazy Chik-fil-A vs. same sex marriage debate,
Wow. You scare me. For a WHOLE lot of reasons. In some ways, you also make me quite glad I don't live in the US and have to deal with it in real life, instead of just reading about it online. Of course people do get fired up about their beliefs here too, but not on anything like this scale!

Dear Children at work,
HOW do you have so much energy!? Running around playing on the playground with you this morning nearly made me fall asleep on my lunch break!

Dear PD course I have to go to Sunday,
I hope you are interesting. Sunday is THE WEEKEND. The weekend is not supposed to be for WORK. Bah. :/

Super Informative Health Update - July 2012

New visitors to this blog or people who aren't sure what this is about might want to click here for some background info. Long story short, I have this. :)

The best thing that happened this month was…

July was a mostly healthy month, aside from a few days at the beginning of tapering to 20mg when I was quite sick and freaked myself out by fainting in the shower

Other pretty cool things..

•  I have now definitely stopped gaining wight and APPARENTLY, according to people who don't see me in the mirror every day I like I do, my chubby face is starting to go back to normal! It's funny how other people sometimes notice changes before you do!

The worst thing that happened this month was…

Tired. Sooooo tired. I could sleep forever if I let myself. Zzzzzzzzzz.

Other not very good things…

• None.

Something unexpected that happened this month…

Nothing really, it hasn't been very exciting.

The craziest thing my body has done this month…

My hair is falling out. Seriously. I swear I am shedding more now than I was during chemo back in February! Every morning when I dry it after the shower, ridiculous amounts come out in my hands! Fortunately I have quite thick hair so it's not very obvious, but still, I don't want to lose too much more!

Other crazy things that have happened to me…

• Nothing that I can think of, really! :P
