*huggles our nephew James*

On the massage front, I am very lucky in that regard. Because i am still a student, I get to stay on my parents' health care. which means when I get massages, most of it gets paid for by my Medibank. The only problem is, the massages aren't exactly the soothing, back rub type. They're the "let's knead this cartalidge back into Bekki's knee" type. It's not nice. It makes me squick. But still - I can say i get a massage every week, and I sound like I'm loving the high life, so really...hehehe...

have i complained about eating wheat in the thread yet? Apologies if i already have, but i need huggles. I feel so ill. It's like a big old hangover that never goes away. And I'm supposed to keep goign like this for 6 weeks and it futzes with my hormones, so I keep crying all the time and getting very depressed, which is never nice and my mum is very worried (because she knows what happens when i get depressed) so she keeps calling to check up on me which makes me more depressed...urgh...

sorry about that...it's nicer to tell you guys than people in RL You won't think I'm losing my sanity...

*huggles everyone*

*huggles Bekki*

I just got a YT friend invite from this guy, how could I refuse?

[MidwifeOnBoard]

Hey Woohoos.

Looks like I wasn't the only one to have an icky day. I can't remember the last time I was so disillusioned at work. Boo.

Massive huggles to all.
xo

[starlover]

*hugs Bekki* I perhaps missed it, but if the food is killing you/depressing you, why are you eating it? It's not good for you!

I'm resting from studying right now, I will get back to it in a while

I am kinda resting but I've already read al the pages of the book the last two days and I am only learning/reading the slides and my notes right now.

Only thing that's stupid in here is that I just found out that I apparently need a pencil(hate those) and thus need to get up earlier tomorrow morning

Wooodnight Jumble, sweet dreams.
*huggles Martin too, just coz*

Read your email before I went to bed - slept very very well Thanks

Thank you all for your kind thought.... let's hope I get that Yes someday (sooner than later please)!

Goodnight Jumble, although you still seem to be online.

Wonders why my legs feel so clung to then reads note from DutchIndeed. Gives her a huggle then releases legs.....

*hugs to all*

Decides to hand over "quilt" to Jumble to take with her this weekend in case she needs it. Waves bye to "quilt" see you next week.

*snuggles into quilt* Thanks Laurie, I'll take good care of it

Listens to Dean Martin singing....remembers when he use to have a variety show on TV....ick....remembers my age.....grabs "quilt" back for one last hug then gives it back.

Ah, but being our age means we have sooooo many more memories to take out and cherish

Me too!

Me three! D'you reckon he's got a WooHoo fetish?

Good luck with the test Jann

Sorry they're putting you through that Bekki But presumably there's a reason for it?

[MidwifeOnBoard]

Morning Woohoos!

It's a NEW day, and I'm caffeinating up for a run this morning. I'm still huffing and puffing and can't run more than a mile, but I'll get there!

I had a talk with my boss and dept administrator about some patient safety and midwife sanity issues and they are being so intractable about them. It's rather upsetting. I had been planning on leaving the job over them for a while but it looked like we were going to be able to talk about them and come to a fair conclusion. After yesterday, I'm not so sure that is going to happen which means I may be leaving just before AT5.

It's a shame because I love what I do (even if the job itself is rough) and I think I help provide a necessary service to people who otherwise wouldn't have healthcare. But things happen for a reason, and as much as it pains me to leave my midwifery family, perhaps the next year before I (hopefully) move to BC, has something exciting in store?

My midwifery family.

Spoiler:

Jumble big squishy hugs to you. I hope you have a weekend of peace and love and wonderful memories.

[Cagranosalis]

Read your email before I went to bed - slept very very well Thanks

Ah good.


*huggles*

P.S. There's something in the post for you. May come today or Friday morning but, meh, if not you'll still enjoy it when you get back.

Ah, but being our age means we have sooooo many more memories to take out and cherish

This reminds me of a book I have: Memory Bottles I bought it as a bedtime story for Benjabubs but have used it when helping with one o the children's programmes at work (becuase there's a whole session on memories). Badger's Parting Gifts is another great book too.

(uh, all children's stories by the way )





*huggles Bekki*

I was going to ask (in a totally non nosey way of course) if you really have to?

Aw *huggles*

Sometimes, family or not, you have to be a bit selfish and do what's right for you. And the ones that count will keep in touch, somehow, someway.

You all look pretty awesome, by the way.

Jumble big squishy hugs to you. I hope you have a weekend of peace and love and wonderful memories.

And that's very beautiful too.


*squishy huggles*


Hmm, I just polished off (half - but finished it) a tub of Ben and Jerry's Chocolate brownie ice cream... PIGOUT!!!
(Mind you I did run this morning - as an experiment, from the school back home - half a mile. It nearly killed me. I need a: better trainers (uh sneakers to over-the-pond folk) and b: to really get fit! )

1. Sometimes, family or not, you have to be a bit selfish and do what's right for you. And the ones that count will keep in touch, somehow, someway.

2. You all look pretty awesome, by the way.

1. That's what I have to keep reminding myself. It's simply not worth the ulcer it's given me! My boss keeps saying, but it's just a year, you can't do it for one more year? But, no, I can't. I would never forgive myself if some mama or baby got hurt or had a bad outcome because I was too tired to think quickly enough to prevent it. The fact that they haven't said no outright and are meeting with the department chair to discuss it gives me hope, but only a flicker.

2. They are an awesome, amazing group. I really consider them family.

3. Glad I'm not the only one trying to get fit! Would you be interested in an across-the-pond workout partner? We could keep each other honest! PM me if that holds any interest.

Time to get dressed and get out for my morning run. (I need an exercise emoticon!)

[Oma-1]

*huggles MoB* Sometimes you don't know what life has in store and you just have to make that leap. Whatever you decide, I hope it works out for you


*giggles at Cags*
*tries not remember the first time I attempted to run*
*puts on Coach hat*

There's an easier way to start running Cags! Take it in stages. Start with 1 min walk, 1 min run and alternate for 10 mins or so.

Then step it up to 1 min walk, 2 mins run. Then 1 min walk, 3 mins run. Then 5 mins, then 10 mins (extending the overall time as you go)....then go for a 30 min run and see what happens. You'll probably surprise yourself! It takes on average about 6-8 weeks or so to get up to the 30 mins run stage.

Remember to stretch out properly at the end of each run (I can email you a stretching guide if you need one ). Most importantly though, make sure you've got really good quality high impact trainers, and if something starts to hurt (other than normal muscular aches), stop! - especially if you have dodgy knees or back. Sometimes people may find they need to loose some weight first before they can run safely.

If anyone has any questions about fitness/weight loss, just pm me. It's what I do

[Jumble]

Ah good.

What an awesome idea!

I think they're testing her to see if she's still wheat intolerant, but it seems a harsh way to do it

Running is BAD for you! Wrecks your knee-joints and doesn't do your hips much good either Well that's my theory, and I'm sticking to it
