sits down with a cup of freshly brewed tea before taking to bed for nightshift

Well, I decided to utilise my little herb garden. I made some lavender tea, never tried homemade tea before but it turned out splendidly! My house smells lovely now, and I feel a lot more relaxed after a productive afternoon. Not to mention my hands smell beautifully of the herb, and being able to sit and watch the gentle purple hue infused in my little glass teapot was a therapy in itself.

It also works wonders for calming and soothing the shattered nerves of the patient in the house, too. Managed to get her down for a sleep this afternoon.

sips tea, inhales the calming scent

 

[Scuttle Buttin']

I'm not a big lavender fan, but that does sound interesting.

 

[prettyserpentine]

It is. I'm pretty impressed, to say the least. I feel all domesticated

And now... For sleep!

 

[prettyserpentine]

sits down with a monstrous glass of wine

I am just having the best day today.

sips wine

After about five years of doctors visits and tests, and over the last year serious worries about my ability to have kids, I had my final appointment today at the women's hospital.

tops up wine

I have PCOS. I've known this for quite some time, but finally having it diagnosed properly has been a breath of relief.

Not to mention the fertility tests. The thing I was most worried about. I always went on and on about how I didn't want to have kids. How they're small and annoying and not for me.

So I was just as shocked as anyone when my doctor told me that, besides the cysts, I have perfectly wonderfully functioning ovaries, and being able to conceive should not be a problem. I cried.

Anyway, I've been super stressed lately, so this has been a really great day, and I'm so happy for myself, and for my future, whatever that may bring.

So. Me and my happy little ovaries are going to sit up all night, have wine and cheese, and play video games.

Life is good. Life is going to be good.

stops by with a huge bouquet of sunflowers, a bottle of pink champagne and some thoroughly decadent chocolate truffles for their happy hostess

Fantastic news, lovely. Totally wonderful.

 

[Bert_Fegg]

Haven't been round in a while, but I thought the news about the ovaries deserved a wave - I'm really pleased for you

tears up at the beautiful sunflowers

Oh thank you! I'll save the champers and chocolates for when everyone's around. If I can resist them that long.

glances longingly at the chocolates

I can do this...

Bert!! Hi!! Where have you been? I missed your witty repartee.

 

[StarryEyed665]

Joins in the chocolate glancing and whispers I'm here now . . . shall we make a start?

(Really pleased for you!)

Hugs Bert

I missed you, I was considering dropping you a PM demanding you return!

 

[Niceandbrutal]

I am really happy for you, Serp.

Brings large box of assorted delicious handmade chocolates

Many happy returns.

 

[prettyserpentine]

Hmm. The best thing to eat whilst watching World War Z is crackers, cream cheese and Serrano ham. You really have to wrestle the ham apart with your teeth, it's like zombie live action role play.

I love wrestling things with my mouth.

smiles broadly

 

[StarryEyed665]

Giggity.

 

[prettyserpentine]

Ugh.

I miss my fella something fierce today.

sighs and is depressed

 

[Essie1]

Wandering in, bearing sweet treats for anyone who happens past today. Putting kettle on, cracking open book and settling in for a relaxing evening.

Picking a cupcake and taking a happy bite.

Yep, sweet trumps sour any day of the week

 

[prettyserpentine]

joins Essie on the sofa and scoffs one of the cupcakes

Mmmm. Just what I need before heading in to work for an eight hour shift. At least I'll get loads of my audiobook listened to today. Might sneak in some ice cream for later on, if any exciting fights break out around the country.

 

[Essie1]

Pushes the teapot over to Pretty, smiling.

I think strawberry ice cream would go rather nicely with those cupcakes...

has some tea, and stashes the delicious looking strawberry ice cream in her little freezer bag for later

You know, 11pm can't come quickly enough tonight. I am so looking forward to the next two days off, and payday is just another two weeks away. Then I get to book my flights!!

 

[Essie1]

Hooray for flight booking

Hmm, I wonder where you're planning on going... give me a second....

 

[prettyserpentine]

Yeah... I wonder where it could be...

Anyway. Must head to work. See you in a few hours. Maybe there'll be something nice and robust when I get back, maybe a nice red wine?

 

[Essie1]

I'm sure there will be something if you bring it along

 

[prettyserpentine]

flops into a chair after having to stay extra at work because the nightshift slept in

Ugh. I'm staaaaarving. I can't wait to get something to eat.

 

[prettyserpentine]

 

[Britwitch]

While true...

pops in to hug a lovely one

...sorry to hear you're not feeling so great.

 

[prettyserpentine]

For My TechnoGeek...

What I want in November.

Along with some of this!

And maybe this...

Oh... And this too.

I think that's all.
