Headache :(

Having bad eyes SUCKS!!

It’s a late post from me tonight. I need an eye test as I’ve been getting regular headaches and actually got a migraine last night. I’ve felt a bit achy and tired today, as a result, so hopefully they can fit me in for an eye test tomorrow so I can get some new glasses ASAP! Gonna keep this short as reading/writing on a backlit screen might make my headache come back so goodnight Tumblr.

Bad mummy day

I just do not know where the time has gone today!! We had a bad night with the kids last night. They took it in turns to wake up, so nobody got much sleep and THEN because we all didn’t fall asleep until stupid o’clock, we didn’t wake up until gone 10am… So Charlie didn’t make it to school. (Bad mummy moment). Have done barely anything all day but suddenly it’s nearly 8pm, kids are in bed and I am wondering exactly what I DID all day?! I hate days like this. They make me feel down, and a little sad at how time just slips away from us and how, we don’t even know how precious time itself is, until it runs out. Thinking is rarely good for me. If I could give as much thought to Nuclear Physics, or technological advancement, as I do to life, death, and the things that worry, upset and scare me, I’d be smarter, richer and definitely happier than I am!! It’s going to be a long night. Oh boy.

Follow-Up of the Day: Baby With The Bucket List Dies: Avery Canahuati, the baby with the bucket list, lost her battle with spinal muscular atrophy Monday afternoon. A letter on her blog, written in her voice, encourages her family, friends, and supporters to carry on the fight:

Dear Mommy & Daddy:

If you’re reading this it’s because I’ve gone to take care of my Uncle Bryant, Nana Carolyn, Papa George, and all my great Grandparents. I love you veeeeeeeeeery much. Also, tell Nana & G-Pa I love them too. In fact, tell everyone who loved me that I love them and I appreciate them caring about me.

When I started writing my blog, I thought I’d only be speaking to my closest friends and family members. Little did I know soooooooo many people would care about me and while I’m flattered to have so many people who love me, I hope they will also take time to love and care about all of my friends out there with SMA.

You see, I’d never heard of SMA prior to being diagnosed with it, yet there’s thousands of my friends out there living with it today and millions of my future friends parents who are unknowingly carriers of the SMA gene. Without awareness and without a cure, I’m afraid more of my friends are at risk to have their lives drastically shortened by SMA.

When people think of me, I hope they’ll also think of all my friends who have been through this and who are going through this now. But what I really hope for is that when people think about me, they will not waste time sitting there feeling sorry for me, rather I hope they will STAND UP in honor of me and all of my friends (past, present, and future). And they can do so by spreading awareness and helping to fund a cure for my friends.

To all my SMAns, you followed me, now please follow all of my friends.

Mommy. Daddy. I love you every bit as much as you love me. And while I’m not here physically, I will forever live in your minds, as you will mine.

Love always,

Avery, Aviator, Aves, Scuttlebutt

Beagle Liberation of the Day: At least 30 beagle puppies were rescued this weekend by animal rights activists from a notoriously inhumane breeding facility in Italy. Green Hill 2001 farms the animals out to vivisection labs, where the dogs are subjected to live experimental research and then death. Members of the Animal Liberation Front of Italy climbed over barbed wire fences on the grounds of Green Hill, then managed to squirrel the animals out through a breach in the fencing.

According to one ALF protester, “all the animals had a strong smell of urine, and one puppy about 8 months old, has an incision that runs the full length of his abdomen.” (See more photos here; heads up — some are graphic.)

Twelve activists were arrested in the liberation.

Clients From Hell: #getpaidnotplayed

Client: Of course I’m not going to pay you. We ended up designing the space ourselves.

Me: But didn’t you use all of the ideas and plans I wrote for you?

Client: Yeah, sure – for reference.

Me: So then I designed the space.

Client: Well actually, we talked to the…

Just an average day.

Late afternoon now. Been into town to do some shopping, and now chilling before tea, while the kids play. My head is banging. Couple of Ibuprofen should help with that, then the kids will be going to bed so some peace and quiet should be mine at last! Not been very productive today. In fact have achieved very little but ah well some days are just like that.
At least the television’s not bad tonight. Soaps, then Silent Witness, Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares USA then bed for me I think. Although, I always think that, and hardly ever actually end up in bed much before 1am. Am reading The Rip-Off by Jim Thompson at the moment. I’m about halfway through but can’t say I really know exactly what the Hell is going on lol. Confusing, but engrossing enough to keep me reading, so hopefully it’s one of those books where all becomes clear at the end. I’ve been a bit slack on the reading front lately. After finishing The Hunger Games trilogy, and then Starters, by Lissa Price, I just didn’t feel like reading anything but more of them. The sequel to Starters (called Enders) will be out later this year :D happy days! Until then, if anyone knows of any good reads. Let me know.

Bad blogger

I am a BAD blogger. I have been AWOL for so long I almost forgot I had a blog at all. Ever since I was younger, I have flirted with the idea of keeping a diary or journal, I like the idea of being able to look back on things. To remember the really great times. When friends are many and life is happiness and smiles for a while. And also the really crappy times. When you lose someone who means everything to you, when tears fall too freely and you feel like you just don’t even know where your life is going or what the point is of it all. These things are important. Looking back at the bad days you realise that you survived things you never thought you could. You beat them and your life moved forward, even when you wished it wouldn’t. Looking back at the good days reminds you of why you keep going even when you barely have the energy to raise a smile. It reminds you that great things have happened in your life and as long as you’re living, great things will come again.
In theory, this is brilliant. In practice however I’m just a useless diarist/journalist and blogger. I’m rubbish at anything that needs to be kept up regularly. This is why the pill is not my contraceptive method of choice. I always have good intentions of keeping on top of it, how hard can it be to write a few words each day?!!

Well I’m going to try again. I’m going to try harder. It’s probably going to require a few alarms on my phone to remind me to get my butt on here and share something but I will do it. I’ll be seeing you, but also you’ll be seeing me :)
