Second bum shot - In the same year

Seems that when I get sick or something goes wrong with my body it really goes wrong

Take the time in my second year at uni, got really sick so was booked into hospital, was released two days later because I was “healed” not that they told me what was wrong, two days after that I was paralytic, I mean Mr O had to carry me to the toilet and I needed my mothers help to bath – highlight of my life being 20 years old and my mother bathing me and my love interest helping me pee, the joy! Anyway so was booked back into hospital, after the first two days of them drawing blood every hour on the hour and still having no idea what was wrong I was quarantined, a week later I was released with a sick note that read like a medical journal (as they didn’t actually know what was wrong with me it must therefore have been every conceivable disease known to man)

So anyway back to my point, on Friday I had an allergic reaction to something, I think it may have been treated straw (don’t ask, and no the “why where you rolling in the hay” comment is sooo not funny), went to the doctor and got, my second for the year, shot in the bum. Friday night I am then not able to sleep but not from the reaction but from serious tooth ache, Saturday the same thing and Sunday the same thing (I know dentists have emergency numbers and they will help on a weekend, but I can not afford that fee) so this morning I go to the dentist and it can’t just be my wisdom teeth or a cavity no it has to something complicated and that the dentist is not really sure what is causing what. Ok so I have an infection in the root of the tooth next to my wisdom tooth that is attempting to come out, and the gum around my wisdom is now also infected apparently and the dentist is not sure if the wisdom is affecting the tooth or visa versa, and it is too inflamed to do anything about at the moment, so I’m on a heavy dose of antibiotics and some really nice pain killers. On Wednesday if the pain is not gone I need to go have a root canal and then if that doesn’t work then I’ll have to have the wisdom removed… YAY how exciting, I really hate the “if this then this but actually maybe” nonsense they tell you when they don’t know what is going on and my body annoys me that it can’t just break down like normal bodies!!!

Anyway will let you know if I still have teeth after Easter…

SANRAL - Is there an actual plan????

WOW the N1 was terrible this morning!!!!

SANRAL is driving me crazy, I’m all for the improvement of our highways and all those wonderful things but what in the hell would posses them to squeeze us all from four lanes into three lanes (I might add by shifting the lanes without proper barriers – so actually there where 5 lanes, 6 if you include the self made taxi dirt lane) then into 2 lanes and then instead of just leaving it 2 we went back into 3 lanes only for us to be moved back into 2 lanes…. Does the planning team at SANRAL have no idea how traffic works or the fact that just leaving it 2 lanes would have created less havoc????

So now as annoying as that was I saw no one working on this particular stretch of highway, nor have I seen any one there in months, yet they will leave the lanes closed, or better still open them before they are ready, then have to close them and re tar them and then wait for it open them again only to recluses them…. What the hell are they doing??? Oh and that ad about how they making the highway better for the future bla bla bla is now starting to piss me off because when in the future are they going to be done???

Haha ok anyway now that I’m finished moaning, hope you all enjoy this short week 

princess rules the world

ok so one quick side note, i have on will power and people are far too annoying so i've given up on my grand plan to stop smoking! sad i know! maybe will try again next month!!

So yesterday was Mr O's birthday, and i actually baked, but that's a story for another day. So princess, queen bee of the universe was there yesterday with her new boyfriend- ok so where else would she be, i mean she is 30 and solely dependant on her nursery school teacher mother and retired step father for her survival. So anyway she starts talking religion, which is a touchy subject and one which people tend to be highly opinionated about. Anyway her new boyfriend voiced his opinion and as usual because it wasn't the same as hers she went off like a fire cracker and was screaming at him and then refused to listen to anything he said. no wonder no one wants to be around her! Her opinions are the only correct ones. All hale princess, queen biatch!! Haha i see forty, single, alone, unhappy and still living with her mom supportin

Wise Wozzel

I was reading some of my favorite blogs today and what one of them said (The life of a Wozzel – read his blog, he is really awesome) was so true.

He was saying that the whole relationships are 50/50 is a load of shit. You can’t expect it to be 50/50 otherwise you demanding perfection and no one is perfect and it just leaves so much space for fighting, so there should be no half/half or what is good for one is good for the other . Relationships should be 40/40 and the other 20% is compromise, understanding, communication and learning. So together as a team you make up the other 20%, so he’ll make up that portion when I can’t and I’ll do the same thing for him.

I think that it is the perfect way of seeing it….

Anyway just thought I’d share his wise words.

Valen... what?

So on sunday is that over commercialized thing, valentine's day! Don't get me wrong the fluffy toys are uber cute and the chocolate body paint and fluffy handcuffs are super fun! Its just i'm yet to understand the logic of buying these things now when at another time of year they'd be far cheaper!!

Oh and shouldn't people show the people they love just how much they love them all year round not just once a year? I suppose though it is nice to take a day just for the two of you, life does sometimes get in the way!!

Not that we do valentine's day, the 14th of february is a special day for a different reason, its the day Mr O graced the world with his presence...

So now that i've shared my valentine's day opinions, hope your plans for the day of love go smoothly!!

Day 2 and still going...

so today is the second day of non-smoking!! i'm still holding out, not saying its been easy, would have done anything to have a cigarette in traffic this morning (I think they had a notice up informing all idiots to be on the N1 this morning, and the road works didn't help!) i was even thinkin of bumming a smoke off the woman in the toyota next to me. Dignity won though and i never hang out my window and shouted, "Listen i really need a smoke could i get the one you smoking, please?". Feel alright now though! Will see what the rest of today brings!

Willpower?? What's that???

since i decided almost 3 hours ago to quit smoking all i can think about is a @#%§ing cigarette. WOW this really is going to tough. think being bored cv work is making it more difficult to be honest!

Well three hours down...

New need for willpower

It seems as though the whole world is quitting smoking around me, so I have decided that now is as good a time as any for me to quit also. There are a few things that I think will keep me on the path to quitting:

1. I just had my last cigarette, so there are no distractions (oh and might I mention that I didn’t enjoy it all that much – good sign I think).
2. I am the lone smoker left at work, not nearly as cool as being a lone wolf. I think people are starting to shun me…
3. Weeball is also quitting, well so her blog says (and thus it must be fact). This is helpful as it gives me that “if she can do it maybe I can do it too”
4. I would much prefer it if my car never develops that same smell its predecessor had, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to refrain from smoking in my car.
5. I want to do this whole get health thing, and I think the whole smoking thing is hindering that idea a bit.
6. Mr O doesn’t smoke and every now and then he mutters something along the line of he hates kissing an ashtray, so from this I can only assume means that if I quit I should get more smooches, and I really like smooches!!!!
7. Then there is the whole plan of moving out in may and at the rate I seem to smoke away my money it is becoming increasingly more difficult to afford food let alone rent, so that’s a pretty big incentive to quit.


The only major con that I can think of, aside the usual fear of getting fat due to excessive eating brought on by lack of nicotine, is the well being of the people around me, as I tend to get really grumpy if I don’t get my usual fix (the same sort of thing that happens if I’m not feed). So I’m just hoping in this process of quitting I don’t kill some random person for being just too stupid/annoying/perky/ / / / / /.

Well wish me luck!!!! The need for willpower starts now 

the hustler

the weekend kicked off on friday at the porra's house where the twin's brother was telling us about his "mad" pool skills and after a few drinks and much debate it was decided a pool comp was needed- at R10 a person. As my pool skills are well not exactly skillful i decided to opt out, lol. after the usually taunting by the boys i decided to play!! i proceeded to beat Mr O and the porra, both of whom are pretty skilled Lol... i then won the R120 price... Ducky the hustler, Haha teach them to under estimate the blonde.

Some Truths

Well when it comes to blogging I haven’t been doing much of late, thing it’s the laziness factor kicking in again….

Due to this great laziness I’ve decided to take the easy road with this post and possibly the next few (lol) and base then on those idiotic chain mail things. This one is just some quick truths about me…

So here it goes:

The last beverage I had was a cup of coffee
The last phone call I got was from my mom
The last message I sent was to Mr. O
The last song I listened to (well am Listening to) is Playing God by Paramore
The last time I cried was last night, was laughing so hard that it was either cry or pee myself….

I have dated someone twice… Mr. O
I have been cheated on, I do my best not to cheat though…..
I have kissed someone and regretted it…. Kissed someone to annoy someone, which isn’t the part I regret, the phone calls afterwards are what I regret!!!
I have been depressed in a “the world is out to get me, please someone give me attention and care”!!!! Not the actual medical kind of depression, more the “someone please feel sorry for me” kind.
I have been so drunk (more than once) that I’ve thrown up, the memories of the nights fuzzy and in some cases chunks may be missing 

Every year I decide that this year will be the year I make at least one new friend, but I’m not so good with the making friends bit, mainly because in general I don’t like people and I have some really good friends already so I don’t think I really need more. In the four or so years I was at University I only made one really good friend, ok and I made a few other friends but that was mainly due to them being thrust upon me in one or other way.

I’ve fallen in love I’ve had my heart broken and many a dream crushed  I’ve laughed until I’ve cried, I’ve Had one to many beverages come out my nose, I’ve meet people that have had profound influence on who I am and I’ve never had sex on a first date…..

Over the years I’ve had friends that have broken my heart and I’ve discovered the true friends that will pick me up and dust you off.

And I’ve found some one that loves me, tries my patience, makes me so angry I could scream, makes me laugh so hard I cry, makes me happy, pushes me to be better and stands by me….

So there is just a bit about me….

Grumpy Ducky...

So its been a while... Holiday mode took over and the having this headache for the last week did not make me anymore interested in doing anything...

So about the headache, I have got serious sinusitis and a wonderful upper respiratory tract infection. I am so grumpy, haven't had a proper night sleep in four days, can't seem to stop coughing. Some relief though is that this headache seems to be less pounding today and I'm hoping by tomorrow the pressure in my sinuses will have ceased and thus I'll be rid of this headache...

Anyway...

So Cape Town was loads of fun, well parts anyway, next time though seriously we are going with my friends, Mr O's BF is a nice guy he just likes to plan every one's day for them cause you know he has to drive as the rest of us are incompetent and his girlfriend is nice she is just not really my cup of tea - we don't really have anything to say to each other or in common except that our partners are BFFs, kinda mellow dramatic I guess...

Aside from my moaning now, like I said this lack of sleep headache is making me terribly grumpy and moody, and yes yes overly sensitive . But all in all had loads of fun during our week in Cape Town. Froze on table Mountain, did a harbour cruise at V & A, went to seal island, ate fish at Hout bay harbour, did a wine route - bought red wine :). There was loads of things we did and saw, was so nice... And we relaxed which was really needed!!!

Saw 2010 in by watching the fireworks over Cape Town Harbour and getting very drunk :)

Hope 2010 is a good one.....
