Ok, I put in that subject head, because this entry is going to treat with dolls, and other such things, so anyone not interested skip now.

Woke up this morning, and as soon as my eyes opened, knew it was going to be a good day. I have few enough of those, so knew I had to grab it while I could. I needed to get up and talk to Nanna for a start, cos she was going out into the centre of Stockholm, to a store she didn't know, to buy the first in her baby collection today, and was all nervous and excited about it. So I jumped up, and leaving Charles fast asleep, got straight on Skype.

Well, after about an hour or so, I texted Mum to see if she could go out shopping, and, after a little juggling, she could. So I jumped into a shower, made some breakfast for charles, and was ready to dash out the door when she and Geoff turned up. We went to Holand and Barrett, that's a health food shop, for my American readers, that sells popping corn, one of the few places you can get it in this town! it also sells a yummelicious sesame seed and honey candy called Halva which I particularly want Charles to try. Anyway, I got everything I wanted there, well, except they had no elderflower cordial, but you can't have everything. Then we went to Mothercare, which is a shop that sells everything for babies.

Now, my Mum maddens me to screaming, swearing, blue rage at times, and you all know it. But I also love her to the ends of the earth for uncountable reasons, and this is one of them. She spent half an hour, probably more, picking out the best and cheapest baby clothes for me, so that, although I dropped a good sized chunk of dosh there, it wasn't a really horendously huge chunk of dosh. Not one word about the daftness of buying clothes, shoes and other accessories for collectable babies, she sollemnly helped me pick out the best stuff. I got shoes for Lyndi, and two outfits, and also two outfits for the two newbies Nanna's expecting.

Well, once all the shopping was done, we popped into my favourite cafe for a cuppa and a cake. Once nicely settled, teacups and eclairs in hand, I decide to call Charles, just to make sure he and Geoff are ok. And what do you think? He tells me that the parcel for blindwriter4god or Nanna, has turned up at last! Talk about timing. Now we can open the box, pop in the clothes, write the labels and get it posted today.

So that's what we did. I also popped out to the grocery this afternoon and got some food, and when I got back, Nanna was home from the store with her first New arrival, and we had a lovely time getting things set up with her. Later Charles and I went out to our favourite pub, it's got a Welsh name I'm not even going to try spelling, for a bite to eat. We had a lovely meal, which was marred for me by the fact of my jaw deciding to start aching again. It's still aching like hell! I've taken some meds, so now time to grab a hotwater bottle and a baby, and cuddle up somewhere comfortable.

Lots of stuff to look forward to, Kay coming down to stay soon, Nanna's parcel arriving, more skypage and msn with good friends, everything feels good today. Big hugs to all my friends, wherever you are in the world, especially to anyone sick in body or at heart. Night night all.

Hi Y'all! Zonked out zombie for sale, any takers? Oi, I'm a right bundle of laughs today! The inside of my mouth is all swollen and worse, it's well look I don't want to gross you out, but it has to have something done to it every now and then, or the pain gets too excruciating. Abscesses really truly suck! Take my word on this one, ok?

I have meds up the wazoo, as a certain person would say, pain meds full of Codene, more anti-inflamatories and antibiotics. For all of these you need to have food in your stomach before taking them, but how are you supposed to eat when even closing your mouth is a major undertaking? Hmm. Well, I guess I must have gotten enough down, cos although I feel way icky, the worst hasn't happened like last time. I just feel zonked out and wacko, but, one good thing, those sort of panicky feelings have gone, and long may they stay away! I'm so used to being a bouncy optemist, part from the Migraines, nothing much has ever phased me, it's not like me to be wobbling all over the place!

Anyway, I'm rambling. What's happened today? Well, I woke up around seven-thirty. I got three lovely Emails from Rob, who had a great gig, well done, precious, and he signed into MSN before going to bed, so we caught up with each other, which made me feel good.
Then I filled my hotwater bottle, and went back to bed myself! I turned on Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets, and dozed in and out to that all day, till I got up around four, and now I'm here.

So, there you go, all caught up. Huge hugs, as usual to all my friends. 143 R E D. Sleepy Smile, Wince! Se y'all!

Well Hi y'all! This has been a nice day, just for a change! I woke up feeling completely normal, not loopy as a floor rug, my usual state for the last I dunno how many days! I got up early, and Rob and I managed a chat on msn, and later a skype call. I still can't get used to writing his name, yay, it's amazing.

Well, then I jumped in a shower and did that pile of dishes I lazily left alone last night, and ate some breakfast, another thing I've been finding it hard to do lately. When everything was spick and spiffy I sat down with the keyboard and had a chat to some folks on msn. Then a pile of braille books arrived, and I had to smile! Did anyone see Ezzie's comment the other day, telling me to read The Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy? Well, I've read it a zillion times, it's a great book, but lo and behold, I'm reading it again, cos it was one of the books I got today! Talk about great timing!

Well, Mum and Geoff turned up in time for lunch, they brought sandwiches and cinnamon swirls, a lovely kind of cake, with them, and I ate lunch too, practically unheard-of! Rob's been seriously concerned about me not eating, think he thinks I'm going to turn into a stick insect overnight, I've assured him there's far too much of me to do that, but Gees! It's so nice to be cared about, I just cant tell you! Anyway, after lunch we read the mail, and wow! My cheque from J has finally turned up! Double wooty woot with a cherry on!

We drove up to the bank and paid it straight in, so now I can pay my bills, and get closure at long long last! I'm so so so glad! When we got back, Mum and Geoff did a couple of little jobs for me, hung a picture and stuff, then went home. Rob was just waking up, and we just talked on MSN, yay! If it weren't for the fact that this damn tooth is hurting like heck, I'd be bouncing today! But even there I've been lucky! managed to get a cancelation on Monday, so Dentist for me, and I'll get it dealt with.

Ok, I'm out of here for now, you're all caught up. huge hugs to all my friends. Big smile. See y'all!

Just another quick entry to let you know I'm still alive! The Migraine monster is still with me, but antibiotics aren't making me sick anymore, and my tooth's a lot better. Hopefully I'll be myself again tomorrow. Huggles as ever to all my friends. Boyng boyng eeeeeeek!
