Many congratulations!!

After one of the longest labours I have heard of in a long while, you have become a new mum! I am sooooo happy for you I am also incredibly made up that my vibe for a boy was on the money…

Welcome to the world Charles Alexander (Charlie), and may you bring positive change for all our futures…

For those not in the know, Anna is a good friend and former colleagues from my UK days!

Lol listen to me…..’my UK days’, I say it so nonchalently (spelling?)

You know that moment you dread, when the worst thing possible happens? No no no!! I’m NOT Pregnant!! He’s..She…er it is American?! Though the whole Pandora’s box is open now isn’t it!

Seriously though, the sale of my house in the UK just fell through, because the purchaser’s can’t find a mortgage. This is after I dropped the price by four grand too!!! I’m currently realing in shock (picture a wounded, vulnerable individual curled up into the feotal position in a corner somewhere gently rocking back and forth) o.O

…meh! “She’ll be right!!”

Once the shock has worn off, I will view this as simply a minor setback….

Now.

Would someone care to pass the Vodka..?

Here I am… “busy” at work, and I have just realised that as of next Tuesday I will have been here in New Zealand for a whole six months!! That’s like half a year man! I’m a little fragile today too, as my partner in crime(s) Jason dragged me out last night, for a couple of scoops (unfortunatley niether of us can count to two so we lost count of how many bourbon and cokes we had)….

Slowly feeling better, not sure I’ll be out again tonight, that would be asking for trouble! I seriously need some sleep when I get home later…

I was about to goto bed, but just had to post on the blog first. I’m filled with this amazing feeling - it’s almost akin to elation; or that feeling you get when you first start going out with someone?! Alas that part isn’t true about me (yet)…*chuckle*…sigh! It’s odd since I have no real grounds to feel this way, I guess my mindset has changed every so slightly and decided ‘What the heck!’ lets just feel good anyway?!

I’ve checked my diet, and I haven’t eaten anything different than usual, though Chinese for lunch two days on the run is not exactly condusive to my lifestyle!! I’ve not been drinking ‘any’ alcohol since returning from the Gold Coast in Australia….since I’m on call this week, my one big rule to myself is that I never drink when on call. But at all other times I can drink myself to a stupour and suffer memory loss! (kidding!!)

Boo-ya! I’m certainly bouncy this evening, just hope I can settle myself and actually get some sleep!
