"Hello Sweetheart!"

"Does she like bugs?" I got asked when I picked J.R up from school today.

"What, like, real ones?" I replied. "Yeah," says the member of staff "It's just that we were handling bugs today and she seems to really like them..."

But not just any bugs, oh no. They were Locusts. Eugh! I hid my squeamishness with a smile as J.R ran over to the carpet and brought me over a small pop up tidy, the inside crawling with Locusts large and small. Thank god it had a lid, and that that lid was zipped shut... or i'd have been outta there so fast!

Apparently she loved handling them, I even saw a brilliant photo of it on their camera. She had the hugest one sitting in her hand and according to the staff even started talking to it, "Aww hello sweetheart!" she said.

Cannot Believe It

I am now into my third week of being ill with Gastroenteritis (or at least that's what they think it is) and since i'm not getting any better i'm having investigations done. This will determine which bacteria are causing the infection and i'll be given the appropriate medication.

I feel totally drained. I'm starving and i'd eat pretty much anything right now, but everytime I eat something it's a gamble...most of the time it worsens my symptoms.

I'm thoroughly fed up with all the pain and discomfort, I just want to be well again.
