My Valentine’s Day present finally got delivered this week, a brand new Singer 2250 sewing machine! It’s a nice size, in fact, the perfect, portable size for me. I’ve been meaning to go out to Spotlight (a craft/fabric store) to get some basic sewing implements such as threads and fabric and some patterns but i’ve been so busy this week i haven’t had time.
I had my hospital apointment on Thursday, I had an ultrasound for my stomach tumor. They did find what has been causing me pain since i had my gall bladder removed so that is good. In fact the doctor called me up this afternoon to tell me that since the last time they tested me the nodule on my liver has completely disappeared which is great news as that means no yearly tests for that! Phew, one down one to go. I will see my doctor again on April 8th and then I will have an endoscopic ultrasound in June because the surgeon wants to wait so it will be one full year since the last one. Now that i have a new doctor that knows what he’s doing, things are coming along speedily.
Today i treated myself to some french nails. It’s the first time i’ve ever had my nails done. It’s quite popular at the moment, but i didn’t want to do what everyone else is doing, it’s just that my nails, when they grow long, tend to break really easily and i just wanted to have long nails without that hassle. I went to a newly opened beauty salon near me. They are quite expensive, but all the girls have been through nail courses (unlike some of those other cheap and nasty nail salons) so the resulting nails look much better, and last longer.
I went for a simple french look, abit shorter than normal as if my nails are too long i can’t do anything. I got a simple diamonte on the second last finger on each hand which just gives it that creative air. :) I’m really happy with them. Now i’ve just got to get used to typing with them! They are short, but a little slippery on the keys at first.
Tomorrow i’m off to visit my mum and spend the day with her. She lives by the beach so it will be nice weather for that, and she is going to take me to the fabric store so it will be good to have a browse around.
Yasu is working all weekend, including sunday. I’m getting a bit fed up with it all, as i never see him. He said the boat he is working on will go to launch this thursday so he is going to have friday, saturday, and sunday off next week and he’s promised to take me on a picnic to the Swan Valley, so i’m looking forward to that. I just hope he doesn’t have to break his promise otherwise I will be really angry.
Oh well, i better finish my cup of chai and get off to bed, it takes me 2 hours by bus and train to get to my mum’s house so i have to leave early tomorrow morning. Have a great weekend everyone! :)
