2018

in Audrey, Happy happy joy joy

Well it has been a year, hasn’t it my friends?

I have decided instead of listing all the shit that has befallen us this year, and man… it has been a spectacular defecation from on high I must say… hell, how about I list all the GOOD THINGS and if you would like a recap of the 2018 bloopers you can scroll back through my blog. I recorded the highlights there. Well a few anyway.

So, onwards!

Believe it or not there were some AWESOME things that blew my damn mind this year:

Like when my friends from the internet did kind and truly amazing things for me. When MPS was in hospital and friends drove me around and others offered to pay for an uber to get us home when I was losing my damn shit having to drive in the city and still others were sending me flowers and cards.

Then when my spa died a heap of amazing people raised money to buy me another one. I literally think about that every single day, I am so very humbled and grateful to each and every person that was part of doing that for me, it really means a lot as the spa is a huge therapy tool for me.

In April we finally paid off our car. The car we bought brand new when we gave up smoking. It is fucking INSANE that we would have spent well over 40,000 on cigarettes (they have almost doubled in price since we gave up!) in the time it took us to pay it off, and our repayments were what we were spending. Insanity.

Boo got a really good NDIS plan. HUZZAH!

We have had a cleaner once a week and a gardener once a fortnight. It has made a HUGE difference in my stress levels and pain. I have been able to get other things done and not having to worry about the day to day stuff. DOUBLE HUZZAH!

Caramilk and KitKat Gold. No explanation required. Duh.

We have seen more of Maddie and Taylor this year and it has been wonderful. I love those Damn Emos.

In August I started on the clinical trial of the transabdominal gastric stimulator and fuck me swinging it has been so awesome I could cry. And sometimes I do.

Especially when Boo gets in the kitchen and cooks chocolate chip muffins all by himself. Just gotta make sure we get one before he scoffs them all 🙂

And finally, the icing on the cake of the year, is Audrey. Man, that girl has stolen my heart – and every one elses. She is magnificent and she has barely left my side since the day she was carried in the door.

So there you go, 2018 you damn near killed us (in a literal sense) but you had some mighty fine highlights.

What were your highlights? Do tell.

It is a damn Christmas miracle my friends.

A few months ago I started on a clinical trial on ‘transabdominal electric stimulator’ and the hope was that it would reduce my gastroparesis symptoms and maybe prevent me having to get half my damn stomach removed. Well this bitch just ate fucking CHERRIES. And I have been eating pretty much MOST FUCKING THINGS and […]

My wonder cardiologist says I need to get my ear crystals aligned and it is totally a thing.

Last week I went to see Sue The Wonder Cardiologist and a ton of other specialists at The Functional Gut Clinic across the hall. By the end of the day I saw 7 specialists and in random order and at one stage I had 3 in one room discussing the merits of Spoodles. Consensus.  Awesome. […]

Audrey

I saw her for the first time when MPS was in hospital. Back then her name was Becky. On a Spoodle website. A tiny little thing with a patch of white hair on her chest that made my breath catch cause I was doing everything to distract myself from thinking about my husband being in […]

Move mountains

I have been trying to get a pedicure for weeks. Maybe months. I can’t even remember. I usually go with a friend but the times she is free there are no spots available or babysitting is an issue or we have some sort of conflict of schedules and here we are. No fucking pedicure. And […]

Just fucking DO IT.

Things have been hard lately. Just fucking HARD. I have had to just push through and I have not been fucking happy about it and I am the first to admit that I am not really that nice to be around when I am like this. Shit. Back in the day, when things got like […]

Crazy

There have been floods of tears this afternoon my friends. Well as many as I can muster with my ol’ dried up eye sockets thanks to my fucked up autoimmune system.  But enough to annoy the shit out of me anyway. It is crazy what can set a person off, isn’t it? I got a […]

Air

Last night I woke at 3am to the sound of MPS snoring. I turned over to shake him and he wasn’t there. The bed, still made next to me, like it has been so many nights before. I lay there weeping quietly for quite a while before I ended up getting up and making a […]
