Noooooooo!

I have the lurgy! Feck feck feck feck and feck again. Dad's coming on Friday. This can't be happening!!! I rang my respiratory nurses this morning to see what I can do until Saturday when dad goes home. Their suggestion being 60mg of prednisolone, 4 puffs BD of both inhalers (Urggggh) and 2 hrly nebs. I'm shaking like someone having DT's from booze, and trust me on this, I know what people shake like when they're detoxing. Pray this clears on it's own, I need to stay out if I have any hope of passing this year. On top of that I'm eating like nothing I've ever seen before. It's not good! My diet's going out the window! Arrggggh!


Please please please pray this doesn't get any worse. I want to see my dad!

I'm a success!

Finally things are going my way!  Well, mostly! Things in school are going well. Apart from Thursday when I had to take the day off (will explain in a bit) I've completed 2 full weeks at school. The first time since September! This is good, and my teachers are noticing it. I'm doing quite well in all my subjects and things are starting to really look up. Apart from the fact I have to do the pre's (mocks) I'm quite optimistic about the leaving. It's annoying though, they're telling me to do the mocks, but to use my book. So I'm technically doing something I could do at home and paying €95 for the priviledge. Grrrr.

But yea, I don't know if I'd said, but mum broke her wrist about 8 weeks ago. She was directing the ambulance up the lane for me and slipped right in front of it breaking her wrist quite spectacularily. What a way to do it. But she had to get the cast of on Thursday and she didn't know what time she'd be back, if she'd be back on thursday. There was talk of sedating her for it so she wouldn't be allowed to drive. So there would be nobody to pick up me or TJ from school, so I had to stay at home and look after TJ *read sleep all day* so I got a day off school.

Asthma-wise *whispering now* things are going really well. I've got my Prednisolone down to 15mg and am able to do a lot more than normal. This is very good. For once I'm having a good run of things and I'm going to make the most of it. Getting to school every day is fantastic. I've missed it. I can finally climb my own stairs at home without ending up in a heap. School's pushing it, but I'm managing a lot better than normal. Peak Flow's are hovering around 200 which is good for me and I'm still reducing the pred. Life's gooooood!

Things with James (Arsewipe or AW for short) aren't going quite as well. He rang an ambulance on Monday night telling them he'd taken an overdose. Needless to say he actually hadn't, but it had gotten to the stage where he wanted that badly to have a warm bed for the night that he was willing to go to that stage. They found out he'd had a Minor heart attack and pulmonary embolism. These aren't good things, but he discharged himself anyway. It's stupid, he's risking his own life and he's going to leave TJ without a dad if he carries on. But I don't care. He's not my problem anymore. I have enough going on in my life to worry about without having that AW causing problems for me aswell.

But I will leave you with the thought that I'm getting better and life's good!

12 of 12

 Was late getting up this morning, so drugs were a hurried affair. I'm back on Seretide though, so I have a purple inhaler!
 Had to go to to the bank after my dentist appointment. Only to find it wasn't open yet. Major rage.
Had a free class because I don't do irish. So got my evil English essay of doom on Emily Dickinson started finally
Saw this Spongebob Squarepants guitar in town on my way home from school and thought it was the coolest thing ever!

Nanny bought me some more bio oil for my stretch marks on my tummy. It's good stuff that!

 Had to wrap Chris's Christmas presents because he's coming over on Friday. Yaay! He got some lego, a lego DVD, a Boy's annual and a model air ambulance.
Bought myself a new stapler today. What did I do when putting some staples in it? Stuck one straight through my thumb. Idiot
Made my lunch for tomorrow. It saves me the hassle in the morning. I'm not a big morning person.
Stalking UCAS Track!
Urgh, Evil homework! Make it go away!

Was this little mites 6th Birthday, so we all went over to nanny's and had cake. My wee cuzin is getting old!

And finally, bedtime!

Boring day much? Thought so too.
