All I can say is WOW!! The weather today was fantastic. I went to my cousins house around 2 and stayed in her back garden til 10.30. It was so warm. I’m the same colour as my dress for the wedding next weekend though, which is quite funny. My arm is so itchy but I can’t scratch it as it’s too sore to do so.

The party had a bouncy castle, which was so funny. As it was so warm out my arm kept sticking to the material so I kept getting stuck. I had all of my young cousins pushing and pulling me along oh and himself too. It was such a good laugh. I even went on it twice. The second time I went on, I went with my mam. Yes, you did hear that right. My mam went on the bouncy castle. The had a bbq on and it was delicious. It has to be the nicest I have had in ages. I even went back for seconds. It was funny when himself came into the kitchen and caught me red handed with a mouthful of burger and the burger in my hands. Later then we went on the karaoke. Okay, I say we.. I mean my cousins husband. He was giving out at first for us wanting to use it and then he’s there singing, ‘Man, I Feel Like A Woman.’ Hmm…. It was a really good night. I’m all sore now though from the bouncy castle. I landed awkward and hurt my neck and left shoulder. I’ll be grand though.

It has been a long week. I ended up doing over 10 hours overtime. I finished my spreadsheet - finally. So now I can relax. I’m thinking though if they are doing more overtime again, that I might actually do it. One of my managers came up to me and thanked me for my hard work the weekend before. I thought this was really nice, because she didn’t have to acknowledge it at all. It’s things like that, that make it all worth it. Recognition.

I’m only in work Tuesday and Wednesday then I am off for a week. Yay! My flight is around 7 am on Thursday. I’m going to be wrecked, so I’m hoping to sleep on the plane. Wishful thinking. I’ll miss my dad, I hope he doesn’t mind not going. He says he doesn’t. He doesn’t really go to these things. Mam has to go because she is best friends with the bride and sure the bride is a longtime friend. Himself is going because of me and obviously because of the place we’re going - Malta. His brother was there last year and had a great time. So now, it’s our turn.

Now it’s time for bed. Nighty night

I’ve been so bored recently of the whole posting anything on my blog. It’s not that I don’t have anything to talk about, I’ve been lazy and finding other things to do.

I went shopping for some bits and bobs for my holiday. I kinda went mad and bought loadsa stuff. I got some really nice things I have to say. I can’t wait for next week now. I’m terrified I’m going to leave something at home, like my dress for the wedding. I hope I don’t.

Work has been very busy the last while. We found out the people who will be training the staff who will be replacing us are coming over in mid May. When I get back from my holidays they should be there actually. I finished my overtime on Saturday. Only two of us showed up. The weird guy on reception was there. When I went into reception he had his back to me, so I said hello to get his attention and rather him look around he looked up and around. He must’ve thought it was the voices in his head. I’m so mean I know, but this guy is rude and nosy.

I have been making plans to catch up with some of my friends in the next few days. I finally have money. Oh my trip to Glasgow has been cancelled, wahoo! I found out that I am being brought to London for my birthday by himself. So I’ll be there 4 times in total this year. I’m certainly making up for lost time.

My heads wrecked recently, so much going on but can’t talk about any of it just yet. I’m not saying anything for fear of jinxing it. But you will all know soon and no I’m not pregnant LOL!!

Haven’t the energy to write anymore. I’m going to go asleep now. Night night

On Sunday, we got a call that one of my dads cousins had passed away. She had bleeding in her stomach and they couldn’t stop it. She lost too much blood and she sadly passed away. Her funeral was scheduled to take place on Wednesday, at the same time as the funeral of my cousins granny. I wanted to go to my cousins granny as I knew her more than my dads cousin. I hadn’t seen her in years. The granny of my cousin is the woman who I met in NY with her daughter actually. I think I mentioned that in a previous post. This was the last time I saw her too. So dad had arranged to go to the other funeral. Mam couldn’t get the time off so, I went to the other funeral on my own. I had said it to my new teamleader and she was lovely about it. She gave me a few hours off so that I could attend. I was so grateful. Our conversation had triggered a 40 minute discussion on cancer etc… It was nice that I could confide in her.

I left work on Wednesday at 10am. I wanted to give myself enough time. This was my first ‘long’ trip on my own. I was terrified. I nearly broke down when I arrived because I was so relieved. I’m the type of person who freaks out when she doesn’t know her way, but I was grand. I was very chuffed with myself.

The funeral was lovely. There was a brilliant singer, ah she really was amazing. I’d never heard anyone sing so beautiful and with so much emotion in it. I had a lump in my throat. I sat with my cousins down the back, there was a really good turnout.

When the funeral was over, I had to go to the bank to pay the remainder on my credit card then I had to drop into the house to check on the dog. I got in and out of my car so many times that day. I was exhausted. I went back to work for 2hrs then dropped into my cousins for awhile. I played with her 2 kids and one of them threw a (soft) ball at my face and it damaged my glasses. Oops!

Work has been so busy this week. I prefer when it is busy though because then the day goes by quick. Nothing really has been happening other than planning Malta and London. Himself and I are going to London again in July, after my birthday. We’re going to visit my friend there too. So that should be good.

Gotta run. Have a nice evening

So I completed my first day of overtime and I made it through it. Wahoo! Only 2 more saturdays to go Himself went off up North today with his brother for a little weekend away. They rented a car and headed off this morning. I’ll be picking them up tomorrow night. So the rest of my weekend will be spent relaxing. I was so tired today getting up for work. I know I shouldn’t really be complaining since I didn’t start work at the normal time of 7am but 9am.

Oh actually I have a story to tell about this overtime. In order to get into the building at the weekend you need to have access forms filled out and signed by your manager etc.. So this morning I handed my form to the guy who was on security and he acted all dumb on me. As soon as he realised my name he kept saying it over and over. Then just as I was swiping my card he started waving his arms around and saying, ‘So what happened?’ To which I gave a weird look as I hadn’t a clue what he was on about. He continued, ‘What happened to you? Why are you in a wheelchair’ I was horrified. I was like ‘Sorry? What?’ So I just said I was born this way, and that it sometimes happens. I just left then mouthing ‘Oh my God.’Seriously, why do people have to be so good damn nosy. Why are they always men?! If I wanted to tell you I will tell you, you don’t ask. Especially if I don’t know you. I was saying it to one of the girls who was working with me and she said I should put in a complaint because that’s not his job to get all personal. I don’t know what to do. I’ve just realised most of my posts recently have had something to do with men and asking me things about my disability. Is it the season or something?!

Around 1pm, I got a phonecall from my mam. My cousins partners mother passed away after a short battle with cancer. It’s so sad. She got bad so quick. It all started with a clot she found when she got back from her holidays. They thought it was DVT. She was misdiagnosed. It turned out after a few more tests that it was infact lung cancer. Now, this woman hadn’t smoked in over 20 years and here she was diagnosed with lung cancer. The doctors said it couldn’t have been the smokes that caused it as it was so long since she had last smoked. It’s terrible. Her grandson only a few weeks ago asked his other nanny (my mams sister) if she was going to die like our Auntie Al. As far as I know, he hasn’t found out yet that she has died. He’s a little sweetheart and I know he was close to her. His little sister is too young to really understand, but they will tell her that her nanny has gone to heaven.

I got some further bad news. My mams sisters eldest daughter was taken into hospital earlier with suspected problems with her liver. She’s diabetic and apparently it’s all linked. My auntie is so worried. Her stomach was swollen and we thought she was going to say that she was pregnant and that she miscarried or had ectopic pregnancy. But it was her liver all along that was causing the swelling. I’m really worried for her. She is a really cool girl and I’m not only saying that because she is my cousin. I’m really good friends with her boyfriend too. They’ve been together since I was 5. They’re so cute together. Keep your fingers crossed it’s nothing too serious and can be cured easily.

I’ve wanted to write a post for so long and started writing one then deleting it. I just haven’t been in the mood to write and yet I feel like I have so many thoughts going through my head.

I haven’t checked my spelling or anything, I’m being lazy but atleast I wrote a post hehe!

Night night xx

Oh my God my head hurts so much right now. The last few days have been so crazy. I really thought I would have had the time to post something but it just seemed like such hard work, so I left it.

I went shopping after the airport on Thursday and I picked up a lovely dress for the wedding. It’s pink and lovely. I think it suits my skin tone and freckles lol. Mam and I ended up watching a film on one of the movie channels and I passed out.

Friday all morning I was telling my colleagues that there was no way in hell I was going to the work do. I was thinking how I should rest my feet and stuff seen as I was gonna be on the go all weekend. Well Nic text me when I was on lunch asking if I had decided what I was going to do, and I could just sense by this message that she was tempted to go. So after a bit of thinking and talking we said we’d go. One of our friends was also having a night out and we decided we’d pop there first for 1 or 2. We did have 2 and then we headed to the work do. When we got there we got 5 free drink vouchers. We got 2 shots each and the rest pints. Later on we got some more vouchers and I was really drunk. I remember going around taking pictures of everyone. One of the guys on my team called me spunky - yeah I know, weird. My friends mam is best friends with his ex wife so I could tell ya I got a bit uncomfortable. Our friend who we had met up with earlier in the night popped into us. It was just him and it was so cool. Nic and him are my closest friends in work, so It was nice to be out with them. I bumped into 2 friends from home there too. Which was cool. We left there around 2.30 I think it was and we headed for the good ol’ maccy d’s. I burst into tears. I started crying because I miss ‘G’ not as a boyfriend but as a friend. For years being so close seeing each other everyday whether we were together or not. Now I don’t see him at all, and he has a new girlfriend. I’m not jealous. How could I be?! I’m with a great guy, who really loves me and well I think ‘G’ and myself are better as friends. If you’re reading this ‘G’ call me I got the bus home, mam met me at the bus stop with the dog. By the time I got into bed it was 4.45 am! I was fooked.

I didn’t really sleep on Friday night, I was so excited about the christening and the hens night. When I got to the christening my camera wouldn’t work. I had charged the batteries but the charger obviously hadn’t worked so I didn’t get any pictures. My friend got her mam to take some pictures for us of us with her and the baby. I still can’t believe that this friend has a baby. I have known her since I was 2 years old. She rocks!

We headed to the train station around 2, mam and her best friend, who also happens to be the hens mother came along for the trip down too. They wanted to go shopping and go for something to eat. It took us just a little short of 2hrs to get to Kilkenny and the weather was lovely. We had to go down this almighty hill. I was so glad mam was there. They dropped me off at the hotel. ‘C’ and I both got the ”Don’t drink too much” talk. Which was funny. It turned out due to some problems with the rooms and access I wasn’t sharing a room with my friend but with this other girl. Her boyfriend is best friends with the guy that ‘C’ is marrying. She was lovely and I didn’t have any problems with sharing with her. We got ready and headed for our dinner. I had a classic caesar salad and had stuffed chicken wrapped in bacon. Both were gorgeous. I sat at the end of the table with ‘C’s two managers. One of them was absolutely lovely. We had such a laugh and we shared a bottle of wine together. The cost of the hotel was €120, that included the room, dinner (we had a choice of a 2 course or 3 course), breakfast and free entry to the nightclub which normally costs €10 to get in. The room was gorgeous, very fancy. They were like apartments at the back of the hotel. We went into one of the bars in the hotel afterwards and had a few drinks. We had such a laugh there, and we had a few photos taken. We were the first ones to go to the club. It was empty. Oh actually, I must mention. This hotel wasn’t exactly the most wheelchair friendly hotel. They had steps everywhere nearly, two here and there. Anyway, they got me a portable ramp and followed me everywhere. When we were on our way to the club, one of the girls that I knew from school was pushing me. She walked down the ramps with me etc..we got half way down one and she slipped and I nearly went flying out of the chair at the end of the ramp. There was a gap of about 4 inches and only for me putting my foot out I would’ve been all sprawled out on the floor of one of the bars. It was so funny. I got up to dance a few times and oh my God did I drink alot. One of the girls bought me a shot and just as I had finished it ‘C’ came up behind me with another one. I think we had about 5 or so shots between us. Everyone was absolutely drunk as skunks. When the lights came on and the music stopped the girls all started getting ready. Then all of a sudden 2 of the girls realised that their phones were gone and their purses. They had been robbed. They called over the bouncers and seriously I have never seen anything like it. They were on the ball. Within an hour both phones, and purses had been found along with some perfume and cards. One of the girls though was missing €50. They were so lucky. The bouncers had apparently checked the cctv footage and found out who is was and the guys were still there. After all the drama, we had to the residents bar. Whilst there I got chatted up by this guy, he bought me a drink. I had said no to the drink for ages, mainly because I knew if I had said yes, that he’d be hanging around and I didn’t want that. So anyway, he bought me a glass of wine. Actually, he originally wanted to get me a fat frog, to which I replied ‘What age do you think I am?’ So anyway, he then starts going on and is wanting to ask some questions. Personal questions, for one he wanted to know why I was in the chair then he followed this up with ‘Do I get any?’ I was soo shocked. I turned around and said ‘Of course, sure I’m practically married at this stage.” I don’t think he expected me to be with someone. I honestly think he was just trying his luck since no one else was giving him the time of day and he probably thought I’d be gagging for it or something. Then he suddenly turned on me. For the past few days, I have broke out in spots on my chin. Which I put down to stress, and also my diet. But anyway, he started slagging me because of them. So I just turned away and ended up talking to the girls. I wasn’t wasting anymore time on him. Oh yeah someone had written on the back of his shirt ”I am a plonker” It couldn’t have been more true. Awhile later a rugby player Mick Galway walked in. He was staying in the hotel. Some of the girls had their photos taken with him. He was sound. I headed to bed around 4am. I was wrecked. The girl I was sharing with had been asleep for about 2 hrs by the time I went in.

I woke up around 9 am. My mam text me. I was in bits and still drunk. It was awful. My legs were in bits, I had fallen asleep with my callipers on me and I was still fully clothed lol!! It was so funny. I attempted to get ready and we went down for breakfast after 10. It was so greasy and I think it has actually turned me off fry ups. It was horrible. The food was swimming in the grease, yuck! I gagged twice it was that bad. We went back to the room and watched a film and then checked out. We sat in the bar for awhile waiting for the time to go to the train station. Some of the girls had been getting sick all morning including the hen herself. We left just after 1. When opening the door, I pushed it and it came back towards me and my middle finger got caught. I nearly broke it. I burst the skin and now have lovely blood spots showing up under the skin. My nail was squashed and I was nearly screaming in agony. It’s so sore. I was told to suck on it to get the pain out but that just made it worse. One of the girls had to push me because I kept hitting it off the wheel. It was horrible. Lucky it happened at the end of the trip than at the beginning. We got the 2pm train and when we arrived back home it was snowing a bit and sunny at the same time. My dad picked me up. I went straight for a bath. My feet are swollen as hell again.

Himself text me to say that his flight is delayed by over an hour and a half so it will get in around 12.30 am. Ugh so annoying. So I have to get ready and put my callipers on. I’ll only get a few hours sleep again tonight. I’m in work at 7. I’m meant to be getting my hair done tomorrow night after work, so I can’t even go to bed early. Sniff sniff.

Anyways thats all, I’m off now to get ready. Night night all xx

I haven’t been writing much recently. It isn’t a case of having nothing to say. It’s no time and also with the brighter evenings I’m spending more time out of the house.
I went for a drive with himself on Sunday to the local estuary and I took the laptop and internet with me. The connection does be really good there and I did start writing a post 3 times. On each occasion I hit the back button to delete what I had written and I gave up. So here I am.

This week has to be the busiest week of the year for me. Firstly having the last day of the month on a Monday it meant it wasn’t as busy as we can’t do much anyway. But today was super busy. I had smoke coming from my keyboard at one point I was typing so much and trying to do it was quick as possible.

On Wednesday, himself and I will be doing something special as he goes home for the weekend on Thursday evening.

Thursday I have to bring him to the airport then head home pick up my mam and head into town to get something to wear to this wedding next month.

Friday I have a work thing on. There is free drink and I have only been out once with my team so thought I might as well go for at least 2 or 3 maybe ask a friend how I haven’t seen in ages to come along too.

Saturday I have a Christening at 12, a train to catch at 3 to Kilkenny, a meal at 7 which is for the hens night for my friend who is getting married in Malta next month.

Sunday – I’ll get home most definitely with a head on me, I will get to relax for a few hours then I will have to head to the airport around 11pm to collect himself. I’m up then for work the next day at 7. Half of me is thinking about starting later so I can get a bit of a rest. I don’t know yet.

Himself and I have been practising dancing. Okay, he’s teaching me to dance since I have 2 two left feet. I don’t have a rhythm. I wiggle my ass from side to side that’s about it. Actually, he told me off for wiggling it too much when trying to teach me properly. Haha! We danced for an hour and I have to say, my legs held out, as did my back. I only fell once and that was when he went all Swans Lake on me LOL!! It was so much fun. I’m using it also as a get fit thing seen as I spend most of my days sitting on my ass. We’re planning on dancing at my friends wedding. I hope I don’t fall on my ass. A girl who works with my ex will be there and I don’t want any embarrassing stories to get back to him LOL! Ah it’ll be good. Dancing really cheers you up. After I watch my soaps on tv I will dance for an hour to good ol’ Tina (Rollin’ Rollin’)

Have a good night everyone

Yesterday while in a car park in one of the shopping outlets I parked my car as I always do in the wheelchair space since I am a wheelchair user. It was just me in the car. I hadn’t reversed the car so I was facing a wall and if I wanted to see what was going on around me I would have to look behind me. So anyway, this car was stopped to the left of my car and I noticed he was getting out of his car. He was using a walking stick and he was walking towards my car. I just stared in-front of me and dreaded what was going to happen. I knew what was going to happen before this man tapped on my window. I put the window down to which the following conversation was had;

Me: Hello

Old Man: Do you know you’re parked in a disabled car space?

Me: Yes, that’s why I parked here

Old Man: Do you have a disabled sticker

To which he starts sticking his head in my window looking in the direction of my dashboard

Me: Sorry but I am a wheelchair user, I have no use of my legs hence why I’m parked her.

At this point I pointed my hand in his face (it’s webbed).

Old Man: Ohh

Me: I’m probably not going to be here much longer anyway

Old Man: I had TB when I was younger and I had to have an operation on my hip and it disintegrated and they had to replace it. That’s why I have to park here.

Me: Sorry to hear that. I have no use of my legs, I can’t walk without the use of splints. I was born this way. Fairplay to you being able to walk about (I’m evil I know, trying to make him feel bad, but feck it). I’m sure I won’t be here much longer, then you can take my space.

There was another space 3 places away and he couldn’t park there and yet he could come up to my car and ask me all about why I was parked there. I’m sorry but before he got out of his car he could have seen the big yellow sign on the back of my car that has the wheelchair sign saying adapted for user. Also my wheelchair was visible.

Old Man: I see you have the adaptions for the break and accelerator. I have them too.

Me: I don’t think I’ll be here that much longer. Okay.

Old Man: I’ll go tell my daughter to go in and go ahead with the shopping. Bye

I was angry at this point that I shouted out the window being all sickly nice

Me: Happy Easter

He then got back into his car and sat there waiting for me to move. In the end I just moved, the guy was annoying me and the whole situation just drove me mad. That I moved out of the space to the space that was 3 spaces away and he wasted no time in taking my old space. You know what the most annoying thing is, he didn’t even get out of the car, he stayed there. I was livid!!

He won the battle of the disabled car space. You see I can’t be mean for long the goodness of my heart gets the better of me and I end up looking like a fool.
