What made you happy today?

Pretty Patsy has a voice! Who new? Having hardly said a word since I adopted her in September (just a very quiet chunter very occasionally when wandering around the run), this morning when I put Patsy in the run she wheaked REALLY LOUDLY! I think she surprised herself as she immediately went off to try and find who wheaked! I hadn't put the others in the run so I knew it was her. Then she wheaked again as if answering the first wheak. When I put Betsy in the run she ran up to Betsy to see if she had made the noise but Betsy hadn't. What makes me happy is she is clearly settling in here. I have heard a bit of whick whicking from the hutch in the mornings when I go in the garage that must be Patsy as I don't recognise the voice as either Meg or Betsy. I'm so pleased that Patsy is liking her new home.

Of course she loves her new home. What’s not to like?
Luxury accommodation, company, good food and a wonderful slave.
It’s every piggy’s dream.
 
Visited my 92 year old Mum this morning, it’s only a closed window visit so quite difficult for both of us to understand what each other are saying. But she has had her first vaccination yesterday 😁 She was very chipper was one of the lovely care assistants had even her hair a good trim and set her hair in curlers. Her hair was down to her shoulders as the local hairdresser has not been able to enter the home since lockdown 1 so this has really cheered Mum up no end.

I'm so glad for you that you saw her :luv:
 
in the post i received a little surprise parcel from a friend... 3 mini hand creams and a bar of chocolate with a little note saying they missed me and hope to see me soon for a chat or a trip to ikea ( thats what we used to do )... really cheered me up.

AND I also found some stock of Aubiose!

I hope it means you can get answers and appropriate treatment much sooner

thank you, I do as well. They think it’s cysts or something in my pelvis. I get very bad shooting pain that lasts for hours :( sometimes in my hips as well. It’s been miserable honestly x
 
Today has been an absolute gift. Jessica woke me at 11pm and 6am. She went back to sleep and slept til 7:45 letting me have a shower before breakfast. Then she napped for 2 hours this morning completely sleeping through her sign class and another 1.5 hours this afternoon. We've had a lot of fun exploring toys and everyday objects in between and she's just about asleep again now. I can now see how my work colleague managed to get so much studying done during her maternity leave :)) I'm sure it won't last but every once in a while would be nice

Oh I feel you I have endometriosis and spent far too long with chronic pelvic, hip and leg pain. It's been a lot better since my last surgery but that still took a good 15 years to get to

I’m sorry that you’ve been through a lot of pain as well :( very glad it’s been better for you though, wouldn’t wish this on anybody x
 
Endometriosis is the worst! I struggle with it as a teen and it was horrible! I also had cysts and those were painful too. My sister really had it rough. The pain was so bad for her that she started to waste away. She had lots of surgeries as a teen and young adult. Eventually when she turned 21, she was able to have a total hysterectomy and she has been so much better since then.

Fingers crossed that the doctors will be able to give you a treatment plan that will help you!

I’m happy that my back is okay, just bruised and sore after being kicked in the back by a horse a couple of days ago. The moment it happened I thought serious damage was done..
So I’m happy I can walk!

Oh gosh! Glad you’re feeling better.
 
Yesterday I had a video call with a friend. I belly laughed for the first time in ages!

My Moon Magic ring arrived a couple of days ago. I love it & they had emailed me a 20% off voucher with delivery being delayed due to brexit/covid. I've just ordered the matching ring!
 
Today I received an email from one of my students who graduated last summer... he suffered horribly with his mental health last year and we all wondered what had happened to him and if he was ok... well, he's doing great, volunteering as a covid vaccinator and applying to train as a mental health nurse so he can use his own experiences to help people! That made me so happy amid all the doom and gloom :)

It must be really nice to hear from students you taught, especially those who struggled 😊

Yes its lovely when they get in touch to say they are doing well- my most successful student ever joined the AstraZeneca vaccine development programme graduate training scheme back in 2016... well gosh that was a super career move wasnt it?! :)
And I now teach her younger cousin who is also doing her dissertation with me!
 
It’s funny how some of my dad’s students used to appear! They once (a couple of years ago) came to give him an award of some sort. And this is from those he taught in the 60s and 70s! Just amazing 😊 You’re obviously a fab lecturer! ❤️
 
I narrated my first PowerPoint and my voice didn’t sound as bad as I expected...from what I could hear anyway! It’ll be nicer for them to have something more interactive than a dry PowerPoint! And hopefully makes it easier for the parents as well.
 
There's a lady on nextdoor that has been trying to rehome her two sow piggies for a few months now. I gave her the contact info for our local rescue and hopefully the rescue will take them. She has had 7 attempts at rehoming them fall through. They are very adorable, but I'm not sure if I could get them to bond to my boar/ sow pair. Let alone where would I quarantine them, as the only room I have is the same room as my pigs.

Everyone cross your fingers for her piggies!
