Well folks, a fairly normal week, I tried out a new rusk recipe which turned out very well, Hubby loves them but I prefer my original recipe so I will continue to experiment and tweek my original recipe or, just make both. Actually, now that I come to think of it last week was one for trying new things. I also used a new method of doing my nails, which happily I can say was a resounding success. From doing an acrylic/gel overlay which takes a long time, I did acrylic dip and that is exactly what I have been looking for. It is much quicker, thinner and much stronger (my nails are so thin I can quite literally fold them over like paper), so I am delighted to have learnt a new technique. Oh yes, then I made peppermint cream sweets, they are delicious and if I'd had chocolate I would have dipped them (see the recipe).
Jelly Bean hasn't been well for more than a month and eventually conceded to going to the doctor, what an eye opener that appointment was. We have a wonderful, if very unusual doctor who adores Jelly Bean and every appointment ends up taking longer because of all the chatting. Anyway long story short, in all the chatting we got to discussing her current medications and I asked about one in particular .......... It turned out that these pills have special precautions which among others include Hyperglycemia !!!! Anxiety !! Weight gain ! and a host of other things that are in direct opposition to her other meds. Seriously, for a Type 1 Diabetic ? and this was prescribed by a previous Doctor when we moved down here. I was so annoyed and it just brought home to me that irrespective of WHO prescribes any medications, I am in future going to thoroughly read all packaging inserts and will question anything that seems odd, when it comes to your health or that of your loved ones, don't always accept in blind faith that the Doctor is right, do your research and if needs be, get a second opinion #lessonlearned. We are now in the process of weaning her off the above medication and praying for an improvement in her health.
Family wise everyone is well, all busy as usual as we head into the last phase of this year, somehow Christmas seems to have crept up on me, again. Yesterday when Big Guy sent a picture of his first xmas mince pie I suddenly realized I haven't had even ONE, haven't even looked or thought of them, and they only happen to be my most favourite thing, it's scandalous I tell you. Tomorrow we are going into the city and you can be assured mince pies will be in my shopping bag hehehe. In three weeks and two days Princess will be here with us so, much to be done in the meantime. Sadly this year neither Big Guy, Big Bear or Baby Bear will be here for Christmas, which is going to feel very
strange, we will however have Poppet, Sonshine and Princess here so I am looking forward to a different kind of Christmas.
Folks that is about it for this week, have a wonderful week, find something new to do and don't let all the stress and drama into your life, rather spread love and kindness. Stay safe out there, Ciao Ciao.
Zeepha watching for the elusive laser dot.
