here I go again

I'm thinking of joining the gym ... yip you heard me ... I want to join the gym and start exercising!!!

I have actually been thinking of this for a while now ... ever since Randy joined the gym actually ... but, I don't know where to start ...

the thing is this ... Randy has 4 coupons for a free visit of which I can only use 2 ... so I thought if I continue eating healthy and lose more maybe I can pay a visit in Aug???

I say Aug cause Randy is only going back to the gym in August ... ja, ja ... he hasn't been to the gym since May ... he complains about it being too cold ...

now I did some research as to some of the classes being offered, times, etc. ... and it got me all excited to start going to the gym ... I think what got me even more excited was the fact that they offer preggy classes ... whoop whoop ... which means if I do fall preggo, I wouldn't have to worry about not benefiting from my contract as I will still be able to use my membership ...

but now my mind is made up ... let's say 80% ... but the other 20% ... I'm thinking of the following ...

1. I don't have proper sneakers. What sneakers should I wear?
2. I don't have proper gym clothes. What clothes is appropriate?
3. I don't have a gym bag?
4. Where do I start?

Pls pls pls ... any advice will be appreciated ...

All that Jazz!!!

SO, Saturday came and went and I got up over-excited, although my body was not in a mood to go nowhere, and got ready for the reunion. Friday night Randy got me some medicine from the pharmacy (thanks love, mwah!) and I took a good dose of pills and syrups and medlemon and went to bed.

Slept like a baby ... although my nose and ears were blocked ... OK, back to Saturday ...

So I got up, Randy washed the car while I got ready. Varney was lazing around from the one couch to the other, watching movies ... (My gosh, my boy is so big, that he doesn't even care what his mom is up to) ...

I went outside and it was so darn cold and Randy said I should get myself a scarf for my throat. My voice was so hoarse and my mom was teasing me saying that I sound like a Vuvuzela ... LOL ...

Anyhoo, off we went in search of a scarf and we got one after going into 3 shops. So I wrapped the thing around my neck (me is not a scarf person) and I went to drop off Randy at his friend's mom's bday party and went to pick up my school friends ...

To my disappointment Gold Reef City had a power outage and was closed for the day ... my heart was so sore, maybe I was looking out for the day too much ... so we decided to head home ... on our way we decided to rather go to News Cafe ... only 5 of us agreed ... so we went to grab a meal and a drink and then I went home ...

I still had to go to my friend's braai and was only there for 10 minutes ... sorry Taya!!!

Well Sunday I slept the WHOLE day, cause I was really feeling down in the dumps ... and Monday morning when I got up for work Randy refused to take me to work and rather took me to the doctor ... Myself and Randy were booked off from work for 3 days and today I feel much better ... still getting cold and my throat and ears are still sore ...

Varney was very happy that we were at home and as usual got his way with his 'I want' ... LOL

My friend emailed me this morning cause she got her BFP ... for now I cant disclose who it is as she wants to go for bloods first ... Dear Friend ... God is Great ... I hope this bean or beanS stick .... thinking of you .... mwah

TGIF

I'm so HAPPY its Friday ... which means 1 more sleep til our reunion ...

I'm so looking forward to it even though I feel so CRAPPY!!!

I also have flu now thanks to my wonderful hubby who sweats so much at night and holds me so close ... ok I want him to still hold me close ... but not sweat me wet ... (huh? does that sound right?) Varney's cold seems to be clearing up (touch wood).

I hope I'm not setting myself up for DISAPPOINTMENT, cause I'm so excited for tomorrow. This weekend is gonna be great, reunion tomorrow morning, visiting D, my friends braai and Sunday chillax!!!!

New Moon is beginning to bore me a bit, must be because Edward left Bella. Ah well, will read it on Sunday, I might just finish the book.

Tonight, I'm gonna doctor myself ... med lemon and Stoney here I come!!!

Enjoy your weekend ...

Insignificant

I feel so insignificant today. Am I really so caught up with myself that I don't care about Randy?

Let me tell you why I feel this way.

He is sick, since yesterday. After I keep on telling him that he must dress himself warm. He only wears a jersey, with no T-shirt or vest and a light summer jacket. Last night he had a terrible cough and I offered him medicine, which he refused. About a minute later he drank it. Then I gave him 2 panado's for his headache. He slept well and was sweating the whole night, which I think is good so that he can sweat the flu out.

This morning while we got ready, I made the bed, even though it was his turn, because he looked weak. I offered to rub his chest and back with Vicks and once again he refused. I told him to rather stay home and that I would let his manager know, he refused. I then offered to drive to work and still he refused.

I called him when I was settled at my desk and he told me he ate a yogurt but he feels more sick and weak and his body is so sore and that he vomited (TMI). I then asked him if I should take him home and he said no, because he has alot of work to do and cant complete it tomorrow because he is on training. I didn't know about the training?

His sister emailed me to tell me that I must tell him to phone his father when he leaves work early because they heard he was sick? Now, I'm thinking ... WHEN WOULD HE HAVE TOLD ME HE IS GONNA LEAVE EARLY AND PROBABLY GO AND SIT BY HIS DAD!!!!!!!!!

Am I over-reacting?

Funny
LOL, I called out this woman whose name is Queenky and actually called Kinky and all the males on our floor LOL at me and said "Kim please leave your bedroom thoughts at home."

Anger
I was angry at DH the other night who took 2 hours to hire 4 movies and ended up having a dop with a friend ... MEN cant live with them, cant kill them ...

Love
Everyday I am dumbstruck at how much love I have ... for EVERYONE ... at first I used to be low on inclusion but since going for me LEAP course I'm climbing up on inclusion ...

Fertility
Well, as you know I'm seeing a homeopath/midwife and she is helping me get my cycles on track and my womb stronger ... well she mentioned that I will fall preggies in Nov 09, so I'm kinda looking forward to and I can say my mind is at peace with this info ...

POA
Seeing homeopath, taking pregnavit and probiflora cause I think I might have a case of Candida so better safe then sorry ...

That is it for now ...

With love
