2010!!!

Hello Ladies, Happy New Year! This is a little late but I have been under a deadline for the last two weeks. I have been reading though. I love this site, it kind of reminds me of a changing landscape or shoreline with all kinds of treasure washing up with the tide.Well anyway, 10 reasons that I grateful in 2010!
-submitting my paper and poster, my work was NOT at publication stage for reasons entirely out of my control but I ground it out. It was ok, it was the best I could do and that is good enough.
-My mum who proof read the mutha, her eye is impeccable and she tolerated my crabbiness. Thanks Mum I love you
-MONEY!!! I got an unexpected windfall! I totally thought that I was not eligible for a student loan this year BUT I was and I got it! I had not factored it in so I had the bills covered and this was extra. I hit the sales and spread the wealth. I got earmuffs and stella mcartney at the gap kids gear (75% off!!), like 2 pound for a shirt in lovely soft fabrics and a real high class colour palate for the kid plus some support books in maths and science and a new school coat, for myself I got a couple of work dresses, a huge surgery book and some new makeup, I splashed out a little at the clinique and YSL counter i.e. I bought 1 thing from each! and the girls there gave me a bunch of free stuff and I am going back for a facial and makeup from both counters over the next two weeks for free!
- In the free book exchange in my lab there was a copy of Jilly Cooper rivals, I have been looking for this in thrift shops and there it was waiting for me! Sex, horse riding and poetry.
- Peanut butter and wholemeal toast, an apple and a pear for breakfast.
- My sister, we had a hardtime with each other last year. I love her so much and I know what she is worth, when she can't see it and does not behave accordingly, it gets me mad, sparks fly. I stopped trying to be her priest/psychotherapist/mother/doctor this holiday. I bought her some Pjs,took her out for a meal and let her get on with her freakin life. She is grown, what will be will be.
- Dcs new years night out, I lived through it vicariously. I love it when you meet someone else and you talk straight into each others mouths, briefly your souls align, you are in the chaos but not of it and no one can touch you unless you reach out for them.
All the best for 2010 DC, I wonder where you will be next NYE!?!
- SNOW! Liverpool is a winter wonderland . The other evening the snow sparkled like a thousand, no a million diamonds! urban snow is like beautiful woman, it can hurt people but in the right light you don't care, you must have more. The reflected light makes everyone look like a richard avedon picture and the rosines of cheeks is beyond description.
- Trapeze conditioning has been on the back burner because of academics but its back with a vengeance.
- clearing house in every sense of the word. This weekend I am ridding myself of everything that is not beautiful, useful or emotional in my home. I am emptying my e-mail inbox and writing some letters to people I owe an apology too. I am giving myself a clean sheet and I am giving every one else one too!

Love from meds
