Crafty

That's what my Doctor is. 4 week sick note "so that you come back for a check up before another 6 weeks passes". Apparently she had been expecting to see me sooner. She didn't tell me that before the op!

Anyway, I have to continue with my pain medicine from pre op to manage the symptoms / healing pain from the op and the cocodamol continues at night time only, as that is when it is worse and it is what stops me sleeping.

No uncertain terms "Do not do anything stupid" was her parting shot.

Other than that, have been test driving my new sewing machine and have made good progress on making a top. Not done any sewing for years...good to know that I can still create something from scratch that I will wear. So, I am 'crafty' too.

I am also crafty, as in sneaky. James arrived home from school and after telling me about his day, he got up to head to his room. "Tidy your room" says I. He says "yeah". Then I pulled my most evil move yet "I will be up in 15 minutes and if it isn't tidy to my standard, including bed made and everything where it should be, I am removing all of the power cables from Xbox, ps3 etc. oh, and your other gadgets will be brought down here. ". WOOSH...out of the room, with a look of panic. 13 minutes later, his room was perfect, including a beautifully made bed, bin emptied and everything away.

So now I know! No shouting, no grumpy, just a threat of no game time and having to speak to me all evening!

Anyway, the cocodamol is kicking in so I am off to lie down.
