It's nearly 2am here and I can't sleep! When DH isn't here I let my kitty (Ziggy) sleep with me and make sure I change the sheets before he's home so there's no evidence (hee hee) but tonight as his eye's all gooky I don't think he should be in my bed, bit gross, but the poor thing needs extra cuddles right now! I'm such a softie over my fur babies...
I've eaten soo much the last couple of days, don't know what's wrong with me, it's like I have worms! I have no idea when AF will come, right now I have almost pregnancy symptoms but it's obviously not the case seeing as I've just had surgery and when we did BD this week it was with condoms. Just my body playing trickses. Bloody nipples feel like they've been sandpapered, grrr!!

Morning!!!

I just discovered strawberry juice and I am addicted!! Errm, with and without the vodka Wouldn't mind a trip to Cape Town though!!

Seriously, I've only been at BnB for a month, can't remember what I did before...

I've got used to DH being away, it's always been like that for us and it works. I miss him, but I also always appreciate our time together.

Ziggy's much better! So last night I cleaned his eye with saline solution and I can't believe the difference this morning. His eye is almost completely open again, it's not swollen anymore. I cleaned it again so hopefully he'll be all better soon. Unfortunately Zig has a little bit of a thing for DH's feet... he bites them in bed!! So funny, doesn't do it to me. Plus DH always claims he has allergies, whatever, won't stop me getting furbabies

I'm about to post photos, if it's like looking in the mirror our parents might have some explaining to do!! Although my Mum always swears she found me under the gooseberry bush anway

It'll be 3 weeks this Tuesday since I had the op, and I go back to work tomorrow Mostly don't want to go in because I've handed my resignation in, but also because I'm still pretty uncomfortable.
I have no idea when AF will start, when I went in for surgery was nearly 2 weeks late anyway, when they did the internal scan apparently I did start to bleed a bit (TMI? Sorry!) but by the time surgery was over I was just spotting very lightly for 2 days, so not sure if that counts.
Anyway, I have a constant "ache" on my right side (where they took the tube out) and the surgeon said there's still a lot of liquid in these which is pressing against other organs. Paah. Plus my nipples are sore and I've been feeling icky... feels almost like pregnancy symptoms although of course I know it can't be. I've been rather teary and emotional the last few days, which I thought was just because I've been cooped up for 3 weeks and had no exercise, but guess it could well be a sign is on her merry way. Then we just have to wait 1 more month before we TTC again.
Talking of exercise... I am going to have to go for a bike ride today or I think I will go mad(der). I was told to wait 3 weeks, so it should be fine. Just have to find a gentle route, which is a mission around here as it's hills hills and more hills, then some moutains. Fun on the way back down
So I'm just going to have my first bath in 3 weeks... ha ha, don't worry, I have been washing, just was only allowed showers and although I normally don't like them I've been craving a bath

Thought I'd add some photos of me and my family so you get to know me that little bit better! The first one is my rabbit Charlie in our garden (wen only recently discovered he is a she), then stretching out is my beautiful Taz baby, RIP April 2008 Ziggy is attacking a bag, it's hard to get photos of him as he's never still! Finally a photo of DH and I on our wedding day in March. Thanks for all of your posts guys, I love you all!

I still have to hold back tears when I see photos of Taz... he kept me sane when I first moved to Basel and knew no one and DH was working away even more then.

We got married in Arosa, East Switzerland, somewhere we both love to ski and DH went there a lot when he was a kid. We'd originally planned to get married in Mexico on the beach where he proposed in Dec 2008, so that the baby would be 1 year old. But then the baby didn't happen and we decided to get married now in case I do get pregnant and didn't want to have to cancel the wedding. So opposite of the beach... snow!! It was all organised in 3 months, we had horse drawn carriages and took a trip up to the top of the Weisshorn (2650m) which is where the photo was taken. It was perfect.

Ohhh, I must be crazy... just got back from my bike ride and it is so bloody beautiful here!! Wish it was summer all year round (except for in the mountains, need my skiing), it's so green and lush. I had a great bike ride, could have gone on for a lot longer but think I shouldn't push myself, plus I nearly passed out going up the last hill home, thought I was going to be sick with the effort! I took some photos which I'll post later. The sun is beating down so I'm going back into the garden. Maybe I'll take a gentle ride up to a pub later.... I let myself go a bit last year after the pregnancy, I mean I didn't get huge but I was packing a few extra kgs for my frame and especially as I've always like to think of myself as fit and trim. Now I'm down to 59kg but I'd like to trim a little bit more off before I get pregnant... silly, I know. And eating a whole box of cadbury's fingers as I did yesterday reeeeally doesn't help. Ooops.
