It was a week of hospital visits (yes more than one). Doctors visits (with
not so good test results for myself and someone very close to me). A week of a
sick toddler, who then gave it to his Dad and I (love how gastro attacks
everyone in the family, even Tira vomited). A week of a broken computer. A week
basically filled with injury, illness and stress.
I was having a woe is me kind of day yesterday, but then a few things
made me stop and think of how lucky I actually am, and instead of looking at
the negative in each situation to find a positive. So here I am being honest
and turning my negative into a positive.
I may be really broke, but I get to stay at home with Jarvis every day,
something I did not get with Tamika. I may have a broken, on its way out,
computer, but I have a clever partner who googled how to fix it and this old
thing is now working again.
It is only gastro, and each time Jarvis farts/sharts he laughs, yes what
a boy I have who already finds farting funny.
The doctors’ results are harder to turn into the positive, my good
friend has been trying for ages to fall pregnant, and I finally convinced her
to see the fertility specialist I saw. Her results have come back good for her
age, but her partner has being diagnosed as infertile. My heart goes out to
her, I know how hard it is to want a baby and not be able to have one, or in my
case another one (or six). Yes call me crazy, but it fiancés and my body would
let me I would have a dozen babies. Yes this scares Justin.
I got my results back; two were okay, one not so good. But a little more
cutting and it should be all good. A pertinent reminder to cover up and slip
slop slap.
I have already spoken about Jarvis’s fist ambulance and hospital visit,
however on Monday we had a second visit to emergency. Justin, Jarvis, and I
were playing in the park and Jarvis tripped over busting not only his knee, but
his nose open again. But it is okay, Jarvis now thinks emergency ward is a
place to play with other kids.
So, yes I have had a crappy stressful week, but sometimes you need these
to think of how good your life normally is and to make a point of looking for
the good. The first image is of a rose I found in our garden, I did not even
know we had a rose bush until I tackled the over-grown side of the house that I
always avoid. But I cleaned it up and look what I found!
I have passion fruit! Does anyone know when they are ready
for picking?
