day off.

I'm not one for a "sickie". I even got up and dressed for work as usual today, but I just can't go.
Yesterday afternoon I started getting indigestion-like pains in my chest, which didn't improve but worsen as the day wore on.
I was feeling pretty anxious by the time I walked in the front door (heart attack!!!!!) and while my Dad was still here with the kids I called Nurse On Call just to see if I was being hysterical. She said GO TO THE DOCTOR.
So I went to the doctor.
She said, "nope I don't think you're heart is the problem but it might be reflux"
I don't know, but it IS rather distressing and it hasn't gone away yet.
So I want to sleep and look at pretty things and may have a bath because when else do you EVER get time to do that?

note to self..don't die (thanks Ryan Adams)

I know, that sounds rather dramatic doesn't it?
I'm in the grip of the dreaded lurgy and the lesson I'm taking from this experience is....I was a complete COW to my long-suffering husband when he had this flu, I'm sorry, so sorry now. Thank you for being patient and kind to me.
On a brighter note, (cough cough...tissue...moan) I have to say a massive thank you to Pip at Meet Me At Mikes and all the other lovely and crafty girls for a fab stitching night. The fact that a group of like-minded individuals are around out there and can be brought together is so heart-warming.
I had a great time, it was super to meet everyone, though I didn't quite make it all the way round the table..maybe next time.
I love my pear pin-cushion and Pepper has her eye on the cupcake kit. When I drag my sorry self out of this fog I'll finish off my pink elephant, making sure to try a bit of seed stitch along the way.
Cheers dears.
