Being Green

If a pug can do it, surely we all can?

Check out the orginal Puglet from the Daily Puglet Blog being green...talk about super extra special and awesome tricks!

In the news!

Woot!  A few blog entries back I mentioned that I was visited by Flat Puglet and I took him around Sydney.  Well I just heard from the original Puglet today that for a promotional artical about Flat Puglet they used a photo I took from his visit here!  Talk about a jumping up and down moment.  Check out the article here.

Crick of the neck

Last weekend I cricked my neck on Sunday morning, I couldn't turn it to the left and I was in a lot of pain.  After taking a mountain of nurofen and keeping my heat pillow on it pretty much all day I managed to loosen it up enough to be able to get about.  Then on Tuesday I went to see my massage therapist and he worked out the muscles.  It hurt like I can't describe but I felt much better and two days later was though it was all over.

It's a week later (the following Sunday) and this morning I did something again.  I just stretched my neck and I felt everything going crack.  Next thing I knew I was whimpering in pain, barely able to move.  Strangely even though it seemed to happen in my neck it was my lower shoulder that was in pain.  In fact almost 12 hours later it still is.  I've been dosing up on nurofen and heat again, pretty much laying straight on my back all day, but still it hurts and I'm worried about how I'm going to sleep tomorrow.

So this time I've decided to go see a physio as I think the problem might be more than muscular.  The fact that I heard my neck crack and have repeatly since makes me think something skeletal may also be the difficulty.  So I'm calling early tomorrow in hopes of getting in.  I'm wondering if I'm going to be able to drive, if things don't improve it's going to be a taxi job.

It's the killer attack of MANFLU

I've been imprisoned all Easter Weekend, not by my own lack of interest in going outside, but by my boyfriends attack of flu...which will hence be referred to as Manflu, because he is pathetic about it. 

Interestingly he's managed to go to the movies with me (his choice of movie of course) and has cleaned up the music room so he can do some composition, but I can't really complain.  I wanted to go out, and it was his turn to pick the movie, plus I've been wanting that room cleaned out for months, haven't done it myself and am absolutely ecstatic that it's been done now!  I love looking at it, keep just walking in there to experience the unclutter.

Regardless he is a sook when sick, here he is lying in bed on Monday afternoon, playing on his iPhone and sounding very stuffy.  (he actually has a cold but manflu sounds much better than mancold  LOL)  So I'm sitting next to him in bed right now to write this and am stroking his head.  Seems to make him feel better. 

Tomorrow is back to work after the Easter weekend and I'm no doubt going to have to battle with him about returning if he's still feeling sick.  Although really I just wish he'd take the meds to keep the phlegm off his chest, or we'll have a week of coughing to live through before this is over. 

Oh well I'll make him a yummy stew with veggies for dinner and that should help too.
