With not many working hours this week, I have been spending a lot more time reading than anything else. Yesterday, I finished reading the Nicholas Sparks book that I had only started last week and so I feel as though I am on a roll with my reading. Having read the last page of the book yesterday afternoon, last night, I started reading the latest Dan Brown novel, THE LOST SYMBOL and I have been lucky enough not to have heard anything about this book so I am getting involved in a storyline that I know absolutely nothing about. It is a big departure from reading a romance novel to a fast paced action novel but it is good, as it gives me variety. Having grown sick of reading similar storylines in the RED DRESS INK books, I have settled on reading the books I bought for summer and I am thinking that the next book I will get my mind into is EAT PRAY LOVE and then finish with the new Daniel Silva book THE DEFECTOR. Like Dan Brown, Daniel Silva writes fast paced ...

Although summer is about a week away, I have started reading my summer selection of books I have put aside for the warm weather. I finished reading the book YOU HAVE TO KISS A LOT OF FROGS and I have started to read the new Nicholas Sparks novel, THE LAST SONG (which has been made into a movie and is due out next year). I only started reading the book on Friday and so I haven't gotten very far into the book but I should have it read in no time as I have a lot of time free this week. Apart from reading, Christmas is slowly creeping up and I only organised the Kris Kringles on Friday. I thought that I should get them out of the way so everyone knows who to buy for this year. I only got around to doing it because on Thursday when my parents came home from being out in the afternoon, my father announced that "I have made a declaration and we are going to have Christmas lunch at one of the hotels because it is not fair on your mother to do the cooking on a ...

This week has been so much better than last week - and the other good news is that the summer heat wave has come to an end - for now. With the Vertigo episode from last week feeling like a long time ago, I am still (a bit) on edge when it comes to going to bed at night and wondering if it will come back that night or the next morning. I was fine when I was sitting up or on my feet but the moment I laid down all the problems came to haunt me so on most nights, I really didn't want to sleep or even have a rest in the afternoon if it meant laying down for any period of time. It is only this past weekend that I have gotten back to normal but I had my script filled "just in case" and with fingers crossed I hope not to open the new box of tablets any time soon. With the fact I was feeling so fine on Sunday - and with the day off, I ended up going to the movies, where I saw 2012 ... With the movie being over 2 1/2 hours long, I had very high ...

This week hasn't been the greatest for me. On Monday night, I ended up at the hospital thinking that I had heat stroke, but instead I had been diagnosed with Vertigo. I finished work earlier than planned on Monday as I said that I wasn't feeling great and if possible could I finish work earlier - so I swapped with Joy. All Monday, I felt slightly dizzy but it escalated when I went to bed and laid down. I was fine laying flat on my back but when I went to my side, I felt so out of balance that I felt like toppling over onto my back. I had been thinking of phoning for an ambulance for the day but of course I thought that it was all caused from the heat and keep drinking plenty of water for the day as well as stayed inside all day but once night fell and it was starting to affect my sleep, I knew I had to do something. I had a headache on Sunday and slept for about four hours in the afternoon and after that I was fine - until about 8:30, Monday morning when it was time to head ...

On Tuesday while out with Belinda, we went looking for ideas for her sister's late Halloween party (happening next Friday night). As things would go, on Wednesday one of the girls at work asked if we could swap shifts and because of this, I won't be attending. I was actually humming and harring about going but in a way I was looking forward to going and seeing what I have heard about endlessly. I spent Tuesday looking around and found nothing but as things would go, I found something ideal for the party yesterday while walking around the shops. Belinda said I could still pop in after work and have a look at the house as so much effort goes into the annual event but I really wouldn't be up to it. Belinda has settled on dressing up as a bride (all in black) and bought material for a veil while we were out - so she thinks she has to go for the look. I was thinking of going gothic. I looked on the internet for ideas and I liked the idea of wearing red ...
