Tuesday.....

Just thought I would remind you it is Tuesday (title).... This Sunday will be 6 months that dad passed...... I always emotionally struggle this time of the month still. One couple through dad's house on Sunday.

And I am sick, figured I would get it, Isaac and Eli both have been... and my bloody neck is so stiff again......

Today's plans not sure, want to make some car coasters today.... and prob watch some more of The Pitt..... think I still have about 10 or so to go......

Anyway kindy drop off and pick up today....

Oh been checking blood pressure every few days and it's still normal, so won't need to start those particular blood pressure meds again :)

Back later :)

What does Today Hold....

This morning, I did my nails when I got up.... then I did my Monday chores (the kitchen), speaking of the kitchen have not seen any mice for the last couple of days.... David is home late this afternoon. Oh dad's house had one couple through, they are keen but waiting on finance.... 

Might carry on watching The Pitt, normally I don't get to watch the TV much, especially with Rugby on.... so it's been nice :). 

Well been crafting a bit..... and watching some crap on Netflix, now watching The Pitt again.....

God can't believe that it is less than 3 months till Isaac starts school. He tried on a uniform the other day, it was a bit big for him, but it was the smallest they have lol.  

The puppies will be happy that their dad is coming home...... they have missed him :). 

Anyway not much else to report for today, catch you all tomorrow :). 

Sunday, 26 April 2026

Hmmmmm What to do Today....

Today is a I don't know what I am gonna do, kinda day..... Woke up at 5am and been watching The Pitt since then... I have really enjoyed this time to myself :). 

One thing I have noticed is that I am so emotional again, think it's the time when Dad passed away again, it will be 6 months in a weeks time... though I don't feel down, just emotional. Might watch some movies today as well.... oh and maybe do my nails. or maybe do those tomorrow. Oh found a shirt that didn't fit me since the day I got it, could not even do it up, now it fits and the buttons close, and in fact it is loose now, a nice non scale victory.

Anyway back later :)

Well have been working on my nail website, facebook page etc.... while watching The Pitt lol. Getting a bit bored with it now, well not really bored just need a change of something to watch, so going to check out movies soon. Not much else t report for now :)

David is back tomorrow night, hope he had a good time, today I was craving something fizzy and had a can of Fanta, I was surprised that I didn't really enjoy it....... it was nice and cold and refreshing though. 

Eli came for a visit today for an hour or so, it was nice :).

Anyway thats me for today, talk tomorrow :)

Saturday, 25 April 2026

Deep Cleaning Day....

Today is all about deep cleaning, like the washing machine, dishwasher etc..... scrubbing behind toilet etc.... and more. 

The 'Glass Guard' stuff I got has this amazing hard scrub stuff, perfect for thermal stains.... 

I have the washing machine sitting with 'mould removal' on it, needs to sit for 3-5 hours, it really worked in our shower.... there wasn't much there, but want to keep on top off it. 

So basically that will be my day, oh and watching 'The Pitt'. 

Well one bathroom (ensuite) done apart from the shower, which will be done once the mould removal has been on long enough, but other bathroom done. Oh and I lost a nail, I should really wear gloves.... oh and need to clean the windows in the ensuite and the mirror oh and the glass shower doors :)

Bathroom finished, nails removed, will redo them maybe tomorrow or Monday. Once the shops open I want to go to Farmers and look at their Ecoya range and get a couple of things from them. Then I will go and get a few groceries. 

Well day is at the end for me, got my Ecoya stuff and went to the supermarket and it was packed, felt like boxing day lol. Got my ham which I was craving a ham and cheese toasted sandwich which I have still yet to have lol.

David seems to be enjoying himself at the rugby weekend, Isaac came to visit for a bit so a nice afternoon. 

Catch you tomorrow :)

Friday, 24 April 2026

Friday......and a Long Weekend....

Well no pantry clean out just saw a little mouse running around in there......to quick for me to catch.... gggrrrrr.

Today David flies to Christchurch, so it's going to be just me and the puppies, well and the mice lol. 

Today I am doing a set of nails on a friend.... need to redo mine over the weekend, well plan too, well at least take these ones off lol. 

Anyway thats me for now...

Weighed in and lost 200 grams - surprised it was a loss as no exercise this week. Next week going to get back into a routine again... I need too. 

Well been chatting to the lands agent - and my sister it looks like we might be listing at $735.000. 

Today has been a good day, David has arrived in Christchurch, so don't need to watch Rugby this weekend :). Did my friends nails have ordered uber for dinner a prawn curry yummm.....

I am currently watching The Pitt - it is good, I have heard really good reviews on it, and it deserves the good reviews :). 

Oh and the house is going to be listed at $735,000. Hopefully we get some more interest with the drop in price. Its a tough market to sell in right now, with the way the world is and the cost of living etc....

Catch you all tomorrow :)

Thursday, 23 April 2026

Thursday and slept in till 5am :).

I had a good rant to David last night and got a lot of feelings out.... think I feel a bit better this morning. 

Chris and Izzy are not coming anymore..... David is off to Christchurch for the weekend with his brother to watch the rugby.

I purchased this pack from 'Glass Guard' and it has been so good on stuff that has corroded from living in a thermal area. Am going to work on more stuff this weekend.... like the washing machine etc....

Rusty is going to be starting on an injection next week he will start 4 weeks of weekly injections then he will go to monthly injections.... he is on Cartrophen Vet®. 

Todays plans - clean pantry... have lunch with a friend, may have Eli for a bit, so Steph can have a break. 

Thats it for now....

No pantry clean, tomorrow's problem. Lunch was really nice :). 

Day went so fast, god knows why...

Anyway thats it for me today, oh and the real estate lady emailed, she wants to talk to my sister and I about the house.... hopefully she can talk to my sister about the price.

Catch you tomorrow :)

Wednesday, 22 April 2026

4.30am Wake Up...

 I am over waking up early.... though I do go to bed about 7ish.....

This morning, changed the sheets, then went and weeded the garden beds...... 

I am feeling angry with my sister, with dad's house we are suppose to come to an agreement on the house, I have had no say, when I voice my opinion, it just gets over ridden, she is quite tight with money, the house has been on the market 8 weeks and not one even close to being an offer. I believe it is overpriced and suggested we drop it but she didn't agree so I got over rided, last night I asked her what the plan is for the house, she wants to keep it at this price for another month, I would like to drop it by $15,000 - $20,000. All the people have said about the $700,000 mark which I feel is where it should be and should be listed about $725,000, she has it listed at $749,000. I am so angry with not having a say, when I voiced my opinion, she didn't take any notice, I said instead of $749,000 (it was originally offers over $750,000),how about $739,000, as I originally said I think $729,000 that way we meet in the middle but nope didn't even take my opinion into it. I am so angry and think that plays a huge part in my emotions. This way it will still be on the market in six months time, anybody knows that the first six - eight weeks are the most important..... Its a buyers market at the moment..... I don't know what to do, I keep getting emotionally upset about it all, I keep crying. My sister and I never had a close relationship, but I now know once the house sells that will be it for me, I am currently keeping quiet, and I also know if we get an offer say at $700,000 I would accept it but I know she will go back and forth, yes if it didn't have an asbestos roof, we could go higher..... but... its not like they are desperate for money and $10,000 is neither here or there. 

Well been an interesting day, been busy cleaning etc, then this afternoon, Steph and I took Eli to the doctor, he has not been well with a temperature.... anyway everything is fine apart from a congested head and nose...... poor boy has hardly slept in 24 hours....

Tomorrow I am going to clean out the pantry, don't think anymore mice are in there..... then meeting a friend for lunch. 

Anyway thats me for now.... catch you tomorrow :)

Tuesday, 21 April 2026

NOPE......

 Nope no gym today..... I am just so unmotivated and not in the mood for anything..... I am struggling - have no idea why, think all this rain has a huge influence on me....

Plans none really, need to do drop off and pick up Isaac for kindy.... hope to start cleaning the bathroom.... but then again, need to clean the pantry but scared a mouse will come running out.... 

Well have just finished cleaning the fridge, a job meant to be done on the weekend. I so want to start the pantry but am so scared a mouse might run out, that would really freak me out lol. 

Monday, 20 April 2026

Slept In....

Today I slept in till 5.30am..... whoohoo lol. I have just finished cleaning the kitchen (Monday Jobs), and then pottered in the gaming area, changing a few things around...

Todays plans, watch IndyCar and then have a doctors appointment, then not sure....

Not much else to report.... oh man we had some heavy rain through the night....

Catch you later :)

This weekend is another long weekend, ANZAC day - David is off to Christchurch for the Super Rugby weekend down there. I think Chris and Izzy are coming for a night this weekend. 

This week, I have decided to clean one room a day, like a deep clean.... tomorrow will start with our bathroom.....

And the mouse has gone to the pantry ggggrrrr, so need to clean that out this week as well. 

I am not doing well, the last 48 hours, I have eaten what I wanted, I am just really struggling. The only good thing today was my doctor appointment was at 12pm, I always go about 20 min earlier, I was in and out by 11.50am and home by 11.55am, so home before my appointment was going to start... our doctor, takes us as we arrive in :)>  


Sunday, 19 April 2026

IndyCar....

Yip IndyCar is back on, currently watching Practice 2 which I recorded......Qualifying starts at 10am - well that's hardly worth watching we have so much interference gggrrrrrr. Thing we need to cut back the tree by the dish and see if that helps, this is bloody stupid. 

Yesterday Isaac came for a visit, was suppose to be an hour or so, but ended up being 5 hour's, he didn't want to go home lol. Though I love that he wants to stay for so long, I found it tiring lol. 

Our back door, we keep open all night as we have an area that you can't get into - last night a little mouse visited, then we were all asleep and the Sooty goes off her head barking and a hedgehog had come inside, prob cause it's warmer inside, needless to say the door will now be closed each night....

Today's plans - groceries and thats about it, oh and hopefully watch IndyCar Qualifying....

Oh apparently Tauranga had a tornado rip through it, on Facebook it shows walls down, roofs off, garden sheds gone, trampolines gone..... we had a huge thunderstorm last night, and so much heavy rain..... again... apparently there is some flooding as well here in Rotorua again.... WTF is up with this weather. 

Next week exercise, is day's off Monday and Friday - gym Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday and walk Saturday and yoga/stretching Sunday. 

Isaac came for a visit, now he is with David and they have gone to the park. 

Anyway no more to report, just relaxing - catch you all tomorrow :). 

Saturday, 18 April 2026

Slept In Till 5am...

 I slept in till 5am LOL....

Anyway Rusty, is home - because of his previous patellar luxation Grade 4 and 3,  as he was high grades, it has had ongoing effects over the years, he now has hip dysplasia in both legs but worse in his right.... he has a tendon in his right leg that is now calcifying.... as they had to rotate his knee back into place with pins and plates, this over the years has had ongoing issues. Nothing can be done surgery wise, but he will be on  Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications for the rest of his life, basically he is in palliative care, and depending on how slow or quick his symptoms progress will depend on how long he lives for, we will not let him suffer.... it could be months to a couple of years...... winter is going to be tough on him. 

I am not going for a walk, I am going to do some stretching exercises and yoga at home.....

Oh and lost 300 grams this week, just finished cleaning the shower, god I hate that job lol. 

Friday, 17 April 2026

Rusty is Having X-Rays Today....

Rusty is going in for X-Rays today, hopefully we get positive news, but somehow I don't think so, it costs $700 for X-Rays alone bloody hell lol. 

Now he is on pain meds, he is doing so much better, somehow I think today will be a slow day. 

No gym today, today is my second day off for the week. 

Most of my Doc Martins fit ok, but one pair was always tight in the foot area, I tried them on today and one foot slipped in beautiful, the other foot also went in, it is a little tight, but it is the ankle I have broken 3 times, so always slightly bigger, it fits a little tight but not unbearable..... I am so happy about that :). So my feet are not so big well wide, anymore lol. 

Rusty has gone to the vets, they will ring us when x-ray's done, have no idea what time that will be. 

Rusty is coming out of sedation, we can pick him up about 5ish so will find out more then.

Thursday, 16 April 2026

Well Didn't Come Back Yesterday....

A little scary..... Yesterday Rusty could barely walk, he went to the vet last night, 9 years ago he had patellar luxation Grade 4, where he had surgery in both knees of his back legs.... anyway the vet could feel that his knees were creaking again, so not sure if it is arthritis, but the vet could feel loose bone/or cartilage or something in there, so tomorrow he will go under a light sedation and they will x-ray it to confirm what is happening.

Went to the gym and did lower body and rower as a warm up....burnt 400 Active Calories in about 50 minutes..... my head was pounding and still is.....

Today has been quiet, Rusty is doing better, pain meds are clicking in. He has his x-ray tomorrow, so hopefully we will know more then. I am not going to lie, I am scared......

I have been wanting to eat crap, I spent about an hour on uber, trying to decide what to pig out on, I couldn't find anything that really took my fancy so ended up getting nothing from uber. Suppose thats a bonus lol. I then spent time gaming..... 

Anyway cross fingers for us, that they can do something to help Rusty.....

Catch you tomorrow....

Wednesday, 15 April 2026

Day Off..... and 4.45am Wake Up.

Today is an exercise free day, I have decided for now to have 2 exercise free days a week, the colder weather is affecting my arthritis and my knee is playing up a bit as well. Not bad but enough :). 

Oh and woke up at 4.45am :)

Not sure of plans today - drop off and pick up Isaac from kindy today - mum has an appointment this afternoon. 

I have changed the sheets and will do some housework soon. 

Catch you later :)

I have just made the curried sausages, I feel its one of those things that improve when they are made early......

Just got soaked bringing in the bins... and now it's sunny, should have waited lol.

Isaac has been here today, didn't go to kindy, croup again...... Chris (my son), had croup till he was 12.... hope these kids don't have it that long, Eli has it too.....

Am feeling really off today and drained..... 

Tuesday, 14 April 2026

4.45am - Time to Wake Up lol.....

Today's plans not much, gym first.....

Then drop off for Isaac to kindy....

Then look after Eli for a couple of hours as Steph has an appointment....

Then not sure....

Oh and pick up my meds.....

Gym done and tomorrow is a rest day - yay lol. I burnt 494 active calories in about 60 minutes....

Through the night my ankle was quite sore, its the one I have broken a few times... today I did rower as my warm up and it hurt on there, so thinking thats what was triggering it. 

No drop off for Isaac, he has really bad croup..... so will come here with Eli later today. 

Well had a busy day with kiddo's..... about to cook dinner and thats me for today...

Catch you all tomorrow :)


Monday, 13 April 2026

Awake at 5am, had a rough nights sleep - heading to the gym soon.... Nope I would much rather stay home but I need to go.

Chris and Izzy (his partner), arrived home safe - so glad about that. 

Not much else to say this early lol

Gym and Ab workout done, burnt 448 Active Calories in about 55 minutes..... I am knackered lol.

Day has been pretty boring, cleaned the kitchen - then played some X-Box then Isaac came over and I was teaching him how to play Astro Bot on the PS5.

We had a thunder storm before....

Dad's house had a second viewing on the weekend, no open home for 2 weeks, one weekend being Easter and yesterday was cancelled due to the weather. The people seem keen, but who knows......

Anyway thats me for today, catch you tomorrow :)

Sunday, 12 April 2026

Well looks like we wont miss it.....

 Last night it looked like we would miss the worst of the storm, today no we wont, we wre now under a Red Warning....


Oh well lets hope it's not to bad. Chris my son is driving back up from Wellington and he has a tesla, he is worried there may be no power in places to charge up, he is going home to Auckland - silly boy. 

No gym or walk today, in fact not going anywhere today. I might do some streches from home, thinking of doing one day a week doing yoga type stuff - I need it and have a lot of the gear here.

We have had a fair bit of wind in Rotorua, with tree's down and power outages, where we live we are pretty sheltered, a hell of a lot of rain though....

I actually started the lego, but was starting to get frustrated with it all, so decided to stop for the day :). 

I am over the rain - I want cold weather but not the rain, we are suppose to get some more heavier winds from about 6pm for a few hours. 

Anyway not much else to report, catch you all tomorrow :)

Saturday, 11 April 2026

Nothing Today....

Today I decided to do a rest day, my body is tired..... and my goal is minimum 5 days a week of movement. Tomorrow will be my 5th day.....

Todays plans not sure, nails first thing this morning, then maybe start some lego lol. 

Oh and the Dutch market is on today, still deciding if to go..... starts at 10am. David is working today :). 

Nails done...

Ignore the dry hand..... my hands are always dry lately. 

Still undecided on the Dutch Market....

There is a storm brewing, I think we will be ok, it looks like the East Coast is going to bare the brunt of it mostly. I think we are due some heavy rain and winds, but not to the extreme they were saying.... tomorrow will tell :). 

Amyway not much has happened, catch you tomorrow :)

Friday, 10 April 2026

I went and burnt 404 active calories, did most of my exercises at the gym, then came home and did some ab work, need to work on my abs..... didn't do it at the gym in case I failed it lol. Have the equipment to do it at home..... in about 50 minutes. Once I get more confident of the exercises I will do them at the gym :). Am I glad I went yes now that I have had a shower I do :). I also need to work on my balance so have started those on the swissball. These are exercises my physio set me years ago, so going back to basics on that :)

Todays plans not sure what - maybe start the lego lol. Did most of my housework yesterday, will do kindy drop off.... hopefully my gel polish will come today, then I might do my nails :).

I am going to the gym, and hopefully doing upper body, depending on how busy the machines are.... my body is still aching after the last lot of walks and exercises. Speaking of walks, I am going to walk up to 5kms, then I will start working on speed, 5km's is my goal :)

Today no real other plans, a bit of housework, washing etc..... might start my lego - yip still to start it lol.

Oh went to bed at 8pm, was to tired to wait till 9pm and woke up about 5.30am, so not to bad lol. 

Anyway back later :)

Gym done and dusted, went about 6.30am, think I might go that time or even earlier than that. The gym started to get busy as I left, looking forward to tomorrow as a rest day thats for sure. I did Upper Body and Bike for warm up, my arms feel like jelly.... I burnt 502 Active Calories in about 60 minutes.

I have been busy doing stuff, then I played on the playstation....and then cooked dinner. I am so looking forward to a day of exercise tomorrow :).

Going to sign of for today, catch you all tomorrow :)

Monday, 6 April 2026

Another new Week Begins...

Well 4am and I am wide awake..... going for a walk when it gets lighter - have been struggling with sleep the last few nights.

Anyway not much else to say at this time of the morning....

Walk done and dusted.... did 3.23km's - took a long time 55 minutes..... and burnt 283 Active Calories... 17 min a km :). The cold mornings are definitely playing havoc with my knee, not sure what it would be like mid winter, just play it day by day at this stage with walking... 

I really do enjoy this time of the morning to walk...


There were quite a few people out walking.... I walked a different route this morning, instead of walking into town, I went to 'Te Puia' the opposite way :)

I have just cleaned the kitchen - so another job done, think I will remove my nails today, I have ordered some new colours so will redo them when they arrive, prob Wednesday or Thursday :)

The little munchkins came this morning for 3 hours, my body is aching right now, thinking if it is still this sore, I might do my day off tomorrow instead of Wednesday.....

When they left I removed my nails, all ready for a new set later this week. 

My blood glucose levels are back to nearly normal, now that I have been on higher protein for a few days :).

I am now going to try and go to bed at 9pm tonight, to see if I can sleep in a little later. 

Anyway thats me for today :)

Just had an early dinner, as I missed lunch playing playstation whoops....
 

Sunday, 5 April 2026

5am...... oh and Happy Easter :)

Happy Easter - this year is the first year I have not had a million Easter Eggs.....  I have had I think 2 Cream Eggs and 3 little pkts of mini eggs, over the last 3 weeks since I have been off.....

I woke up at 5am, well actually earlier but forced myself to stay in bed till 5am and actually dozed..... heading of to the gym to do upper body soon :). 

I am doing my friends nails later this morning.....

Then it will be groceries.....

Back later....

Gym done and dusted, shower done - going to do breakfast soon, Bacon and Eggs sounds nice :) I burnt 471 calories in about 55 minutes. 

Am thinking I might go for a walk tomorrow morning, before we get rain later in the week..... just had a yummy breakfast :). 

Well been a busy bee, did my friends nails, then we did groceries and I purchased one egg, for Isaac, he only likes white chocolate, so found him one :). He then came here and we played AstroBot again for a couple of hours, we are up to the final bosses in it, so it's hard, he loves watching me die lol. 

Just had an early dinner, tandoori chicken on rice, yummmmm. My blood glucose has been up the last couple of weeks due to higher carb eating, but is now back down to just about where it was before my higher carb eating....

Anyway thats me for today, catch you tomorrow :)

Saturday, 4 April 2026

Daylight Savings.....

Daylight Savings end tonight, yay the mornings are going to be lighter, but will that mean I will now wake up at 4am instead of 5am....... bloody hope not.

I am still deciding if I will go for a walk or the gym...... but am dressed and raring - ok not raring but ready to go..... if I do a walk it will be a shorter one I think. Thinking as I am not going to the pool for the next two weeks, might do gym 4 times, and walk 2 times a week. 

Anyway thats me for now....

Walk done and did 2.6kms in 43 minutes, so about 1 1/2 min slower per km, than my last walk 3 weeks ago I think.... but I did it :). I went further than I thought I would. 

I left at 7.12am..., now I have caught my breath a bit, time to have a shower and breakfast.....

Isaac came over for a visit, which was nice, we played AstroBot on the Playstation. 

David is working today, overtime, he will be home soon. 

Tomorrow morning I will go to the gym and do upper body, my lower half will be thankful :). 

Have made the meatballs for dinner, not sure what we will have with it yet....

Friday, 3 April 2026

5 Months Today......

5 months today dad passed, the other day I kept ringing him on teams, I was really struggling and missing him so much still.... I knew he wouldn't answer but a little part of me still believed he was there.... Last night I had a dream that he answered my call.... 

:(.

Looking forward to the gym today, to get back on track, though I have not been eating junk food excessively, my food choices over the last two weeks have been far to many carbs, when I exercise I stay on track so much better. I am dreading weigh in, I know I have had a gain and a big one.... but time to put that behind me and get focussed again. Will weigh in after gym when I have a shower.... and focus on eating more proteins..... I am dressed and ready for gym, will prob go about 7ish..... wish me luck :). 

Went to the gym and did lower body, and bike for warm up.....334 active calories were burnt.... I felt every minute of it :). I then had a good high protein breakfast.... was going to go for a walk tomorrow, but am changing it to the gym - will do upper body :). 

Weigh in.... a huge gain of 2.5 kilos whoops, normally that would send me into a spiral, but I am not going to let it....

Not sure of other plans at this stage, prob not a lot, everything is closed I think.....  might start a new lego, still have two to do....

Oh and won't be going to the pool for the next two weeks, school holidays :)

Just cooking our later lunch or real early dinner, that way I can have something lighter tonight..... works well for me :). 

Been playing Astro-bot on Playstation for the last couple of hours, might start a lego later after lunch :).

Just did a BP check and still normal, so think I can stop doing it now.... might just do it once every few days or maybe not at all.  

Didn't do any lego, maybe tomorrow, had a light dinner and am knackered lol. Body is feeling the workout a bit, but it feels good to have energy again :). 

And on that note, catch you all tomorrow :). 

Thursday, 2 April 2026

Well we are Falling Backwards This Weekend....

Well Not Sure Now..... and April Already...

Well this morning my blood pressure was high, after being normal most of yesterday, I don't feel dizzy at all which is good, will try one more day (today) and keep checking it and see what it does...... I actually felt like I could have gone to the gym today..... but decided to give it one more day.

Today I will drop off and pick up Isaac, mum has an appointment at pick up. 

Can't believe April is here already, 5 months on Friday that dad went...... its been a rough few days. 

Back later :)

Just redid BP and it's back to normal yay...... about to drop Isaac at kindy.

Did another BP check and again in the normal range, and best part, no dizzy spells so far..... I am going back to the gym on Friday, if all keeps going well. I am also not feeling as near fatigued thank god. I cleaned the cutlery draw, it was not as bad as I expected lol. Might do the rest of the draws on the weekend.  

Isaac has gone home now, I love that little man so much..... did a couple of BP checks since the last one and they are all normal, and I feel so much better. So nice to know that is proberbly why I have felt so off. 

Anyway thats me for today, catch you all tomorrow :)
