Happy New Year - Simon Says Stamp DT

Hello peeps and a very Happy New Year to you all.

 I spent the day yesterday fighting to keep my eyes open as I had a very late night / morning and finally got to curl up and sleep at 6.30am, just as my little alarm clocks (cats & dogs) were all ready to get up so by 8.15am & with Diddly cat sat on the side of my face nose to nose with me I gave in and got up again & was stumbling around the kitchen bleary eyed going through the routine of feeding time at the zoo lol.

Have you made any New Year resolutions? I never usually make them but thought I might try this year for a change! One thing I really want to change is to get back to being more organised again! I used to be so organised before the strong painkillers & I used to make more cards and post them on my blog  but now in my brain fuddled haze I just muddle through the days & always seem to be busy stumbling around not knowing what I'm doing but don't seem to get anything done although the tablets do work brilliantly as I  have either little or no pain! My doctor finally agreed to give me some lower strength painkillers just before Christmas with the agreement that after New Year I can try & find the right level of dose for my body rather than only prescribe the high strength my consultant says I need to cope with my injury. Yes it's going to hurt & it's going to be hard but I can always take the high dose if it gets too bad & try again the next day where as at the moment I either need to rush & get cards made, blog posts scheduled, go shopping etc while I am suffering with the pain but my brain is working or pop painkillers & be comfortable & spend a wonderful day away with the fairies getting nothing done lol.

They look so cute together :)

Look at how cute my beautiful little angel Daisy Mae is, I can't tell you how much I love & spoil this little one :) In all honesty she is the naughtiest cat I have ever known, but so full of character, if there was an ASBO for cats she would have one lol. She steals recycles from the neighbours & brings home just cooked sausages, bacon, sausage rolls etc, we know they are just cooked as they are usually hot / warm and we usually hear one of the neighbours shout "Daisy Mae" just before she appears & it's not even as if she eats them she just puts them in front of me meowing loudly so proud of her finds lol. In her defence the little darling knows her mummy doesn't like cooking so she's being kind providing for our family & trying to save me from having to attempt the cooking ordeal, yes I have a defence for everything she does lol.

Hubs wants to pack Christmas away today & as much as I love the lights and tree I am fed up with dusting my baubles! Yes I dust my baubles which my lovely friend Liz finds hilarious, my tree goes up on December 1st so of course they need dusting! I thought this was normal but since Liz found it funny I asked several friends if they dust their baubles & they have also looked at me in horror and I always get you shriek "You dust your baubles" followed but lots of laughter so maybe not, but I'll just give them a quick dust before packing them away lol.

  That's me done for today peeps, thanks for stopping by
