playing catch up

So much for blogging more! I just can't seem to do it. I have a good excuse though. Last week I started prepping our bedroom ready to paint and over the weekend I did just that. Phew! and I'm exhausted. Today I've been clearing all the paint stuff away, and trying to catch up with other housework that has been neglected for the past 5 days - that being the laundry mainly. I have to wait til Jason gets home tonight to help me put the curtain poles back up then I will be able to hang the curtains and put the new bedding on. Once all that is done, I promise I'll take pictures and show you the befores and afters :-)

No school this week for the first 3 days. Yesterday still felt like a Sunday and I was still painting. Today of course feels like a Monday and I'm trying to do laundry and tidy up. Kristen is over at Connor's playing as usual. But at 4pm we have to leave for piano lesson.

My allergies are still bothering me. Now I can't taste or smell again, and I've been like this since last Friday! My ENT appointment is Thursday morning. I am really hoping the Dr will give me a course of steroids. It should help shrink the polyps (from what I've been reading) but at the very least it will help gain back my taste (at least it has done in the past when I've been so blocked up). I can put up with the stuffy nose or even sinus headaches, but the one thing that gets me down, is not being able to taste. It's like I haven't eaten anything in days, cos I can't tell anything has passed my lips! And I can't even cheer myself up by having some chocolate or anything else I fancy, because.... yeah, you guessed it - I can't taste it!!!! It's the most annoying thing, I can tell you.

Well not much else going on. I did update my Simple Daybook and I even have my sister doing it too ;-) Pop on over to read it if you like, and while you're at it, you can pop over to say hello to my sister Jean too ;-)
