Friday is a good day, right?

So today HAS to be better than yesterday, surely? Well I'm not too sure. I managed a grand total of 2.5hours sleep last night before my stomach pains woke me at 2am. I've been awake since then, it's now 9am and I'm started to feel the need to sleep.

It's been 9 weeks now since I A) Managed to eat a meal (honest!) B) Slept through the night without waking up in pain. My stomach problems are ruining my life. Sounds dramatic, but at this moment in time it isn't.

Alas I'm still alive and moving around so I have that to be thankful for, and also I can do my photos today! I know most people are not at all excited to see photographs of my daily life, in face most people are not at all excited to hear my moans and groans about life in general, but I'm really enjoying documenting the world. I never do it, so I'm hoping that in years to come when I do either A) have a son or daughter to share this blog with or B) am living and working in Spain with a perma-tan and running a bar restaurant (Life plan B) this will give me something to look back on a smile.

Photo 8 - My daily routine

I found it was quite difficult to take just one photograph to show my daily routine, so I made a collage of a number of photographs.

From bottom left to right; 

1. My boys - I have spoken about my cats in length throughout my blogs. They're my boys, my stand in children for the time being. From the minute I wake up they demand attention, whether it be Colin meowing to be let onto the bed, or Travis rolling around on the floor wanting his tummy rubbed. As soon as I walk in the front door in the evening, they are both there say on the door mat waiting to say hello. When my tummy gets really bad it causes me to vomit - A LOT. Travis sits outside the bathroom door every single time and nudges me when I get out. 

2. Food - Obviously. Whose daily routine doesn't involve food. Specifically for me is healthy food as I'm still on my weight loss challenge. This is a photo of a homemade Spanish Tortilla and salad. Yummy! As much as I am getting increasingly bored of dieting, it is working. Since September I've dropped two dress sizes, 30lbs and have gone from a BMI of 28 to a BMI of 24. I need to be motivated to carry on. An unexpected bonus is since loosing the weight our sex life has gone from TTC-tainted non existant to amazing. I really like flaunting what I got in new underwear. It's nice to look down and like what you see. 

3. My office - Well my computer where I spend around 80% of my time at work. As you can see here my own blog is on the screen, but I do actually work as well! 

4. My family - Its only small, contains two humans and two cats, but my world revolves around them. Heres Martin with Colin curled up on his knee and Travis asleep behind his head. 

5. Coffee - I know I know, I shouldn't be drinking this when trying to have a baby yada yada yada...but screw that! I spent 2 years not drinking caffeine and still no mini me. If people can get knocked up when drunk, high and anything else, a coffee in a morning is not going to do me harm! (I think my American/Canadian friend may be a bit disgusted at my coffee, its ridiculously milky!) 

6. Work - The university logo for where I work, and where I did my degree and met my best friend. 

I'm going to cheat here as my sister is coming to stay tomorrow (YAY!) so I'm going to do tomorrows photograph today because I know I'll forget. 

Photo 9 - Me in black and white

I dont like my face. Specifically I don't like my chubby cheeks and round chin. Couple those with my big brown eyes and voila - the face of a teenager forever more. Heres the top of my face in black and white taken this morning after the first coffee, hence why I actually look awake!
