Ghastlies, Lovelies and The New Do

Life sure is funny sometimes. I don't know about you, but it seems to hit me in waves of either catastrophe or loveliness and not much in between. :-) But lately, it's been both, lovely bits of sunshine mingled with the ghastliness. :-)

Ghastly: docs tell me my immune system is kaput.
Lovely: they've got me on excellent supplements that are already rebuilding this ol' body of mine and I'm feeling better each day. :-)

Ghastly: I need to fix my car from the accident, put four new tires on my car, and buy meds.
Lovely: I get my tax return AND my damage deposit back from my apartment in time to cover most of it. :-)

Ghastly: I have eight meals worth of tacos made up and almost nothing else.
Lovely: I really like tacos. :-)

Ghastly: under strict instructions to rest, rest, rest.
Lovely: free audio books and movies from the library, and friends who drive waaaay out here to visit me. :-)

Conclusion: I'm a pretty fortunate lassie. :-)

It's been a good week. :-) Mums and I got to take a stroll on a particularly sunny lunch break and saw the most gorgeous countryside.

My friend Kat came to visit me and brought her marvy homemade tabouli to go with my Spanakopita. 

I got to hear Leahy in concert!! I didn't think I could make it, but pain pills worked beautifully and I'm so glad I went. :-) They're such a jolly lot and it is quite impossible to not emerge cheery and chipper from one of their performances. :-) Mums, Kat and my Office Manager Sharon went with me and it was a splendid Girl's Night Out. :-) Yeah, this was a self-portrait. :-)

And, last but not least, after much badgering, here's a shot of the new do. For some reason I can capture food and countryside quite handily, but I can't take a decent photo of myself to save my life! So, out of my collection of blurry, badly colored, poorly lit photos, here you go. :-) Oh, and I DO have two eyes, one just umm, hid. :-)

Happiest of weekends to you, dear ones. May your lovelies outnumber your ghastlies. :-)
