An apple a day will keep the doctor away


Long-time no see, ay? I have been off the radar for what feels like ages after being tackled down by sickness. I got sick! I don't get sick! Obviously I do and while dads away! What happened there? Here is what happened. It was the day of the interview and mum and I had both planned on fasting for the day (food and her wine) and we both wake up feeling dreadful. I could barely stand, my head pounded when I did and I had completely lost my appetite. I had to forget the fasting and eat something or I would be worse but I felt bad for going back on my word. I then went back to bed at eleven and slept the whole day away not waking up will five thirty. The next day wasn’t so much better and after that I gradually built up. I haven’t felt like talking on Facebook or Blogging or anything, all I did was watch movies and sleep. The best cure I tell you!

Go figure mum and I both get sick on the interview day. In the end I summed it up as an attack, Satan is not happy because we are stepping closer to fulfilling what God wants. About the interview; it was long but dad said it went fantastic! Which is, well, fantastic! He is having a great time over there and has spent time with family who haven’t seen us for a while so it was great! The second day he was there was a massive blizzard! The airways closed which is scary and we are just praying he will be able to come home on time. When we talked to him on Skype he said it hasn’t been snowing for at least twenty four hours so all should be good. I am very excited about this job, I am trying not to get my hopes up but, whoops, too late I think. The fact is it is all seeming very serious now and I feel now more than even that the job is ours! I just really want to hear whether we got it or not!

More news, I brought a typewriter! No you didn't read wrong. I phoned what seemed like loads of second hand shops and Salvoes said they had one. Navey blue, quite old and it works! I said 'Right, hold onto it I'm coming now!' I want planing on using it but it's a bonus it works and I thought it is good for vintage prints and things like that. They even took fifteen dollard off it for me. So exited!

Mum and I are a great team and have been keeping busy all week minus the sickness. We have both had down times but have each other and have been doing awesome; we are really looking forward to having daddy back! Today we went to the park with Emily and her little boy and sat and talked while the kids ran around like crazy, laughed and then crashed when we got home. Everything is good; God has us in a good place at the moment. We all want to hear about the job but that will come in time. We just need to remember all good things come to those who wait (How cheesy do I sound?) and we have done what we can now and we just need to willingly give it all over to God.

  1. Hey My Gorgeous Girl.... I wanted to say something really uplifting and positive since you and Mum have had such a bad time the last few days... all I can come up with is the Monty Python song "Always look on the Bright side of life" the problem is that I am not seeing the bright side cause Ms Melley and I will be so miserable that Melley wont sew and I well.... I just won't watch OUAT cause it wont be the same without you! BUT, I will be able to keep in touch with this wonderful new thing called the internet!!!! SO maybe it wont be so very bad... and we can skpye and I can read the Irwin Blogs which always result in me having a little smile as I walk away from my computer :) SO.... altogether now... "Always look on the bright side of life... tada da da da da..." Love You. A-T
