Beautiful

Last day of summer

28th of February today and just realised my blog is dating everything one day out. So it wanted to say it was 27th. I don't like living in the past so I think I have managed to change it. If not, just assume it's all written the day after blogger tells you.

Morning sickness is easing and the snack monster is returning to normal eating habits, well, sort of normal except for the "all I can think about is bacon and sourcream" moments. 

Only one week left until my scan now so I can hopefully get news all is progressing well. Then I just have to tell work, gah !

Got an sms this morning from the bank saying the are ready to settle, YES! 28th of March is the day.
Meeting with the financial planner at the bank tomorrow, hoping he can help me set up a good budget.

On a bad note, I am stressing about something I can't really do too much about so trying not to and failing at it. Hmmm...  Plus my glands are swelling and my throat is sore. But the positives outweight the negatives, so life is pretty good!

We are going to have a wicked tipi on our property!

Rain

It's raining again, roads are flooding again and once again I am glad I have about 4 options on how to get home and to work.

Option 2 got me home this arvo, will see what tomorrow morning will bring.

I do love living in the Lockyer Valley or "the Salad Bowl" as they call it. But not when it's raining. It's a bit sad how people react when I tell them I live here, like they pity me which I can understand with all the bad events of late but I wish people could see the beauty of it and the strength in the people who live here that never give up.

Avamys

Avamys, how I miss you so. Struggling with allergies, nose is sore, sinuses are blocked and I sneeze and sneeze and sneeze. Do not want to take the risk of taking the medication just in case, but am going insane. If only I was allergic to sugar and not my beautiful cats !

It is a bit cooler today which is a relief so we might try to get the window screens cleaned. Apologies to the hundreds of spider who will be homeless this afternoon :(

Chocolate soy milk and fish fingers

I love chocolate soy milk and I love the Jamie Oliver brand of fish fingers. They actually contain fish and taste just like the ones from back home.

Signed the loan documents today, so now its just a waiting game plus a paying fees and deposits game.

We named the place Sun and Stars from GOT.

Sun and Stars

Michelle from the bank rang and the valuation came through with a thumbs up, place listed as rural residential :) Happy Happy Joy Joy !

Alcohol free beer doesn't taste too bad either! Hubby got me some so we could have a toast :)

This is the view from where the little house is :)

This is the little house, our little house, soon... Well the banks really but we will live there :)

Strong winds

Weather is a bit crazy which messes with our Internet connection. Valuer from bank was at Sun and Stars today, fingers crossed he will give it a good score, in spite of the ruralness of it. We love it and I would love to bring Marley or Durian home there. We will never have issues with neighbours again! Fingers crossed.
It is such a small place but the views are spectacular and 21 acres of land to grow grow grow!

Samson went to the vet yesterday and got the snip. He seems ok with it all but hasn't really chilled down at all, still a bit crazy :) But I love him that way!

On a bad note, I feel huge and horrible. Trying to dress well but all I see is roundness. My boobs are huge too. Lots of milk :)

Almost 9 weeks

See no Evil :) 9 weeks into it and feel pretty average. Hubby is very good though and keeps reassuring me it's all good. I feel tired and swollen, can't wait for the 8th of March when it will feel more real and less like I am just depriving myself of all the toxins I love.
