Phew, where to start, so much is changing, most for the better and certainly all will help bring fresh air into our lives even if a lot of hard work is needed.
Firstly, I am doing nothing, absolutely nothing, well this is what I am supposed to say having had a hernia operation 2 days ago. It was pretty bloody painful and needed a general anesthetic and open surgey rather than the keyhole op I thought I was having. So here I am, trussed up, unable to bend, stretch, roll over, push up from a seat or lift anything and I am alone. Months ago we organised for the man to take the kids back to Blighty to see friends and family and arranged travel and a rugby camp for the boy and to cancel this would have left them heartbroken and us out of pocket by about £1000, so when the hospital called last thursday! to tell me my appointment had been been bought forward it was a shock and a bit of a nightmare. Fast forward... a house full of boxes, a load of painkillers and two fed up dogs and here I am.
Most upsetting is the fact that I wanted to create a lovely nest in our new home for everyone to return home to, my visions of picking them up at the airport and driving the kids back to their newly made up rooms has been shelved. I so wanted to start homemaking, unpacking special things I've saved, new tins of herbal tea, fresh towels, new mugs, candles and cushions. So I have simply promised myself fresh flowers and fresh coffee, these will have to do for now.
I am missing my family so much, they are having a ball I know with good old friends and enjoying downtime in England away from this scorching heat but it is so strange without the background chatter and passing hugs.
I cant even knit if sew (not very good at these really anyway) but the movement hurts my tummy, also cant lift pans to make proper wholesome food, so a little grouchy to say the least. However am still gateful for the future happiness just around the corner and the assurity that the pain will pass and things will mend.
