I haven't blogged in such a long time. Life has been very busy and I'm sure everything will come out in the end.However, this is a blog from long ago and I have a lot to say that might matter to someone.I'm going to stop using this place and start a new blog so I can go over events of the last few years in one contained place. Where my thoughts spill out into life and later life I'll put them

It'll make it difficult to carry the tray and I'll laugh at him for struggling until he finally gives in and gently, but firmly moves my arm. I might put it on his butt today, for

I remember that first day, how quickly they curled up and fell asleep. How tiny they were. Alfie found something to tear to pieces within moments, tapping into his never-ending supply of energy. Michael left his shoes in with them and before long Colby was curled up in one of them. A bony, bright white ball of fluff 'hiding' in a jet black boot. Two blue eyes shutting rhythmically trying to

On balance, we are getting on a lot better. Samuel is a little angel and was so brave when he got his first set of injections. We both passed the tests with flying colours on Tuesday. Samuel is gaining weight well and is super long baby (as Adam comments, 'long baby is long!') He is strong and holding his head up well. His eyesight and concentration are developing great too. Samuel had a

Samuel started smiling yesterday! It's so cute and the most wonderful thing I have ever seen. We have photos and film and he giggled and smiled all day with his Granny and Uncle Paul. It was just great.

On Friday I went to my councelling appointment. All I can remmber about it now was the awkward humiliation of it and my plan to J-walk my way home to increase my chances of being hit by a bus. I did send this email to Ails though'I went to my councelling appointment, and after an hour of chatting they proclaimed me not depressed. I simply have the 'baby blues' which will clear up after about 3

Samuel is getting bigger by the minute! He has outgrown a lot of his baby-grows and is now into 0-3month sizes. I don't know where he gets it from, Adam and I are so tiny. Still, it's good to see.I'm getting the help I need, so we just have to persevere with it now. My estimation of full health has been revised to Christmas to give a chance for the councelling (when it comes) to work properly

My Health Visitor came to see us today. I had to ask where my councelling appointment is since it's getting harder to wait. Wednesday morning brought a bit of a meltdown and I'm really not coping very well. I had to complete a postnatal mental health questionaire.* I got a score of 25/30. This is not good. Apparently it's enough not good that our Health Visitor contacted our GP and I have

We had a lovely weekend just past. Samuel had a lovely day with his Grandad on Friday, we went out for cake and I tried to open a baby bank account. It turns out I forgot some of the paperwork so we will have to try again this week. Oops.We went into Dundee on Saturday and met Hobbit, Helen and Kev. It was a busy day but good fun seeing everyone. I got very tired and was glad when I got home

Samuel was three weeks old yesterday. I still feel guilty when I do things that aren't for him, but I have to get over that eventually. He is sleeping just now but I still get the impression that I'm doing the wrong thing taking some time on the 'puter to myself. Oh well.He is developing really well, focussing on things and moving his head about. We are trying to get him to follow toys with

So, I'm sort of getting the hang of this. Feeding, playing, napping and sleeping myself when Samuel does. Feeding is the hardest thing. Samuel was getting fussy and only eating every couple of hours, which is totally exhausting. We have changed teats and seem to be getting on a lot better. So now I'm just waiting for the next growth spurt when everything will change again. Still, it's great

Baby Samuel was born on Sunday 17th May at 9.45am, weighed 7lb 14oz and was Apgar 9. Kicking, screaming, looking around and a lovely pink colour!We had an eventful delivery in the end, after I started latent labour on Friday night (the 15th May - the day I thought was my due date incidentally all those months ago, before the midwives revised it to the 13th) This is a cruel punnishment, with

Due in two days. Bizarrely getting nervous now. Grey said I had ants in my pants all day yesterday. I just couldn't settle to anything. We did get the spuds banked up, pumpkins potted on, washing done and went to the shops for messages. Finally got to bed a bit after 10pm. It took me a while to settle, but after I did I managed a really good nights sleep.Maybe this is a sign of things

I met with a local Mum on Monday. We chatted for hours and I had a great time. After feeling so lonely for the last few months and not really knowing what the future will be like, with all my baby-free friends, it was more relaxing than I could have hoped for.The pie was made sweeter after I had a wonderful chat with Ails, which served to remind me that I still have all that from the past to

Dad came down at the weekend with our Cot, blanket box and some more clothing and blankets for the Bump. While he was here, Grey fitted the loft hatch, checked to see if our spare heater would work somewhere else (it won't,) fixed the door to Button's room so that it closes, and made gate legs for my fold away gate-leg kitchen table. It was fabulous!Now I'm down to a couple of phone call based

I'm not going to moan about this too much, since having Button arrive on time is infinately better than the torment of having ones bump arrive too early. However, I'm feeling nausiated (I think that's right) all the time, my indigestion is back (even though Button has moved down, which should give me more space - ha ha!)

I wanted to Blog this morning and have a huge rant about nosey 'holier-than-thou' idiots, but have since realised that there are more important things in life. So now the rant has become a musing. The moral if which is 'just say sorry, and move on.'Basically, don't bother telling me things you know third hand.

It has been a glorious weekend here which is great for the Easter holidays, and good for us too. We got lots done in the garden and plenty of odd jobs finished off inside the house too. I have a List of things that I need to do - partly so that Grey can refer to it and do some of them, but mostly so I don't keep forgetting things. It's also nice to cross things off a list, it makes everything

Which would be lovely, except i had a Dr's appointment this morning and the roads have not been cleared. Oh well, that can be sorted by phonecall. Lunch in Dundee may be interesting.

It's an odd feeling. One that seems to have crept up on me. I'm cleaning my kitchen, with my iPod. Listening to music, having a dance, throwing stuff away. It's good, it's relaxing. There was a time I thought I would never be able to listen to music again. Last April, on the flight to New York, I watched Happy Feet and cried my way through it. I have cried most mornings on my way to work in

Louigi didn't come in last night when we called him. Adam waited up until after midnight and had to go to bed without seeing him. At about 4am I got up to give the baba a shout, and he was in the house - so I gave him some ham and a fuss. This morning I had a hard time getting up, not that I was particularly sleepy. It was just very hard to find a reason to get out of bed. Late morning came

It's been a bad week again. I lost the plot a bit on Monday night and fell into floods of tears. Adam went into 'fix-it' mode, so I tried to explain things to him for a bit and then sent him to bed. I didn't sleep very well.On Tuesday, after deciding that something has to give and praying that it won't end up being me, I looked around Dundee for 'help wanted' signs. There are loads. And many

It has been a rough week all told. I've been very down and quite tearful. Wedding responses are trickling in. At this rate there will be about 40 peeps at the wedding. Which suits me fine. However, I think Mum would like more of the 144 invited to come. Perhaps it will pick up next week, once people can book travel and things. It's good that responses are coming, even if slowly - it does

Yesterday was not a good day. I overslept and only had an hour before SixFootHobbit came up for coffee. Breakfast was lovely - and a pleasant treat. I did some shopping for wedding favours, and so far the morning had been short but productive.Then I tried to get a key cut. It was expesive and took a long time to come through from Timpsons in Arbroath. So we headed through to have a go with a

I had lots of fun on my birthday, the kittens were sick so we had an emergency trip to the vet at 9am. (we'd been up at 7am to keep an eye on them.) We did get a lovely day for the BBQ on the beach. It's just a shame that a Beach Warden with a bad attutude came over and moved us on. So we carried everything back to a mates house everyone continued the party there. Adam and I ran home to

I really need some new images for the website and the shop. Since I have much shiny to sell now, and there is more on the way. I am currently toying with the idea of making a big box of product along with a smaller box of props (laquered stones, bottles, pieces of slate &c) and taking them to Elise. I might even leave a note to explain - 'take pictures of all of these things. Make them pretty.

Loving more than I have in a long time. That is one of the downsides, I guess, of making a hobby a business. Creating a business is really hard work, a long slog, uphill and all that.

I stopped using this because the posting was hit and miss on occaision and the whole thing was very slow. Google have magically made all this better apparently and now I have photos that people can see (in a much more intuitive manner than on LJ.)Hmm. I may need to return to blogger for my permanent wittering experience. LJ is fun though...Maybe I will keep both. LJ is a lot less isolated,

I have had three great ideas for corsets this week, in my head they are fabby. I know I could make them to match that vision. However, it would be really great if I could sketch, then I could demonstrate the idea without the expense of getting the fabric.Hmm. Looks like i'll just have to make them up.

It's grey and drizzling outside and while google assures me it's a lean 14 degrees C, I've resorted to adding another storage heater into the warmth capacity of my little house. I need a project - something to take my mind off work in the evenings. (As much as I love my job, i need a few hours off a day.)Snotlings and Ogres

It's Monday morning and I have been wondering why we get most stressed about the events that lead towards our happier future. Weddings in particular.There really isn't all that much to a wedding, two people who love each other enough to want to be together, meet with family and friends and make the announcement. Then there's the assistants to the announcement, who all must be dressed

You scored as Captain Jack Sparrow. Roguish,quick-witted, and incredibly lucky, Jack Sparrow is a pirate who sometimes ends up being a hero, against his better judgement.

But then it will be Demon, the Fallen, which looks like it might be a very good game (on the basis of the last 2 sessions that we have had). Need more torment. Must be evil. Ho hum.

There are many reasons for this post. Firstly to document a recent discussion I took part in, detailing how s"*^ they are - the vermine of the skies - and how the 3 (or so) missing people each day in Dundee can probably be attributed to them. Either in the form of their flying off with small urchin children, or wayward pigeons enlisting the assistance of their more distant, and socially shunned

So bird being delt with (as much as I can, it was injured, and thus easily re-captured upon release - so there

Some of you may remember the incident with a small kitten and a live starling of some months ago. Here is the account of the events of that day. Well, today, just before Agent Grey left for work, we had another gift. Only this time the deed had been committed more completely. I thought the event was over when I evicted Eric from the house, complete with prize, and got on with my brekkie (

I still need to get information out of Fernbrae. I was looking at an old post when I recalled that after my most recent call they have still not phoned me back. Time for some action me thinks.

...finally. So thats the end. Never more to be an undergraduate. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted. In other news, I will soon have a new house mate - who moves in tomorrow, and I bought myself a new digital camera. Just a little one for 14.99 but its good enough for me. Now I can take picces of my costumes and put them directly to PC, with a lot less faffing. Now I just have to sit in

It was all going so well this morning too. Although I still haven't been able to get hold of MR and MRS Vickers to organise a congratulations you get married party for them. Then I planned to go into town for a few things for dinner, but my car has died. Father thinks it might be the battery, so he will have a look tonight. So I walked into town. Got a coffee and a roll on my own, did some

I have just put up on Thoughts? some more of my dissertation, this time sematic 'I' as seen by Kripke. There are only 3000 words left to write, summary and conclusion. And annoyingly I need to have it completed by this weekend. Thats a week before the actual deadline. The reason for this being that Father is using the home printer and posh paper to publish it for me, and that means doing it

The Great God is without ego, as it has been embodied in a seperate consciousness as Azathoth has cast off the curse of self-awareness. Surrounded by the host of flautist servitors, piping the songs of the unknowable, Azathoth

Just a note to say that the next chuck of dissertation is online, this time about Wittgenstein, although I am not sure I am entirely happy with it. Oh well, at least I have my minimun words written for today, and I may get a chance to do some more in a little while. On a side note, Father bought me laminate flooring for my dining room today, so when my exam is over I can get that re-decorated!

It has been somewhat of a busy few weeks recently. what with essays and things due in. Also now it is the end of term, and so I am bogged down in writing my dissertation, the next few sections of which will be posted very soon. In essence I have just been too busy, everything is changed, I don't see Korvar as much as I would like (or indeed have done in the past), I miss tuesday CSI watching (

I am really tired today, like exhausted feeling. All my musles ache, and if I stay still for too long, some of them start to cramp up. I have been on campus for about an hour now, with books. The library was far to warm, and so I have not managed to get much reading done. Thought I might fall asleep in the middle of the Tower, and decided that might not be a bad plan. However, I did not, and

Again, I am really tired. This may have something to do with staying up until 4am to watch Wrestlemania XX on sunday. However, I did not sleep even after I went to bed that night, and so I cannot believe that is the sole cause. I have, however decided to get up now, and endeavour to make sense of the notes that I made last night at about 3am, and try and complete some more of the formative

I really need to do some work. Oh well. I have still have somewhere in the region of plenty of time. Although not for the formative essay, I only have a few days for that. Also the yellow and black striped trousers that have arrived are cool only really small! (the ones that my friend from Yorkshire found right after i bothered to dye my own) Today did not suck so badly as yesterday, however

O hell i feel like crap today. I am so tired I'm not really sure how i got through my lecture. And this keyboard is a puddle of donkey semen too. Also it is too cold to walk home, I feel slightly sick and my back is aching. I handed my reference to tdjc after my class, so with any luck that will go well.

after having a really shit day yesterday, and not really achieving very much concrete. (I had a really stressful morning after getting a letter from my Bank talling me that yet again (!) they are changing my accounts around without my consent. So then I had to sort out a new bank account and stuff and it was just annoying) I am going to try and study in the library today to catch up on the

Also I would like to note that no-one has used the comments on my other blog. Now this may seem cruel of me, but the reason I didn't waste the time and effort to do it in the first place was 'cause I new no-one would bother (or really even be able to coherently) so there.

Got home, and was really ready for my bead to discover that my Father had left a gas ring on ever so slightly for most of the evening. So the window was opened and the cats shut in such a way as they could not escape into the night. Dad scolded a little, and now, with any luck, it will really be time for bed. Also I have decided to purchase black and white striped material, and dye it yellow,

I have had my back door open all day in preparation for the cat-flap. To encourage the kittens to come in and out that way, and also to stop them jumping from the window and onto my flowers. Also it occurs to me that recently I have made a fairly profound balls up. I have informed all intreped wanderers who venture into the shop that there was a Poker Night last night. However, either I have

Went out for a really lovely dinner after a drive and a walk at Auchmithie beach and caves. And had profiteroles for pudding. Can't believe the weekend is over so quickly, I may try and write a formative essay tomorrow so that I can get that handed in this week. More reading for my dissertation and comprehensive note taking is also a high priority. Dirty Fairy is sorting out some secretarial

My new printer is now fully installed on my computer desk, and very good it is too, only it is a lot bigger than my scanner, and so my desk looks really full. The lecture today was good, will write up my notes tomorrow on the other blog. Would have done it today, only Agent Grey met me for lunch, and well, who can turn down free food and good company. I'll catch up the work tomorrow.

I have had such for the philosophy deadline,... ... its the 30th April, Huzzah! I will go back to my plan of writing 1500 or so words a week, and can write a formative essay to boot. Panic slightly over (I still have to write the thing for the end of april).
