Blog Series: What has Becky been up to?

Welcome to Part 1 of my first blog series!

 

In this series, I'll tell you what I've been up to on my weekends

 

Now that I have some time, I can catch you up on my adventures

 

At the end of October, NZ has a public holiday

 

Some family memebers wanted to take their caravans on a trip

 

We couldn't decide between going up North or going South

 

We eventually decided on Matarui Bay up north

 

 

Here's a photo story of what we did

 

We climbed a very steep hill to look at the Rainbow Warrior monument

 

 

Everyone else checked the map to see where the actual ship is

 

 

I took photos of people taking photos...

 

 

...and looking at the monument...

 

 

...and got photo bombed

 

 

So on the way down I took a picture of the beach

 

 

We spent the weekend driving around, playing baseball

(I destroyed two balls with my super awesome swing)

going for walks and generally not doing much

 

 

I've been busy again...

So you've been wondering where I've been

I know you've missed me

I really wish I had the time ( or a laptop ) where I could sit and blog every week, its not practical for me to go upstairs, sit on the computer, think about what I want to write, wait for AGES uploading photos and then when I've finished, I've realised I could have been doing something practical

My last post was about how I got a new job

I'm now a Personal Assistant

I started on the 1st of December and its great, I'm really enjoying it

I've also made something so fantastic for my skill level in crochet that I just HAD to share it with someone, so I decided to instead of keep it just to look at and say " I made that as my very first proper project " I sent it off to a pregnant friend

I want her to open the present before I post a pic 

( as you would expect when you send someone a gift ) 

so you most definitely will hear from me in a week when their package arrives and I'll be putting up a picture!!!

So since I love sharing photos, here's a picture of Miss Holly and what she does every night when I get home from work until I feed her

She makes me laugh every time!

Oh, and I'm looking for a house sitter

Anyone???

I've been busy

Hi Everyone

I've been uber busy

I plan to give a MASSIVE update

I'm just too busy to do one though

I promise I won't be too much longer

My sick week

Its Tuesday today

Last week on Monday my throat started hurting, then I went home on Tuesday because I was starting to loose my voice and my chest was really heavy/hard to breathe through - I thought it would make sense to have the afternoon off and ' recover '

Boy was I wrong

On Wednesday, I called in sick, my throat was hurting like it was on fire

I woke up every two hours the night before in serious pain

I endured it, I wasn't thinking straight, I wasn't getting enough oxygen

( I later found out that my boss could barely hear the message I left on his voicemail )

On Thursday, with the burning fire in my throat keeping me awake all night, I called work again

I should have tested my voice before I picked up the phone, so my 

" Hi its Becky " turned into " cough, hawk, icky "

My boss said he couldn't really hear me, but get well soon

On Thursday night I did some heavy breathing, got some oxygen to think straight and figured out that having Panadol and throat spray ( among the other drugs the pharmacist gave me ) by my bedside would help me

At 12pm, 2am, then again at 4am I sprayed like my life depended on it

It helped, but only enough to get 2 hours sleep at a time

On Friday I didn't bother calling in, I emailed, there wasn't any point they would have thought it was a prank call and hung up on the silence on the other end

On Friday afternoon I caught a ride to Auckland with one of my husbands workmates boyfriends

I had tickets to go to Christchurch, I would never have been able to drive myself & I was so grateful that someone else was going too

It was meant to be a ski weekend

It turned into a me almost falling down and collapsing every 5 minutes weekend from exhaustion

My husband took care of me and on Sunday I started feeling much much better

On Monday I headed off to work with no voice but keen to prove I was well enough to be there

My boss sent me to the doctor

The doctor sent me home for two more days

The doctor said I had an infection of some kind, she wasn't really sure what it was, but all the congestion in my chest was making my oxygen intake limited and that was wearing me out

She also said I had an ear infection and my ears were very very red

The doctor said that she really had no idea so much so, that if the antibiotics worked, it was bacterial and I'd feel better on Wednesday ( since thats what she prescribed )

If it was viral, then I wouldn't 

( since that was not what she prescribed )

I've been taking antibiotics now for two days and I THINK I feel better, I'm not sure

I haven't really tested myself

All I know is, I'm heading off to work tomorrow to prove once more that I'm better

I'll loose my voice in about 10 minutes

Fingers crossed I remember to take my prescription to work with me tomorrow

Wish me luck!!!
