Tuesday musings

I was very saddened to hear that Jim Stynes died today, an inspiration to us all and taken from his family way to young at age 45. 

I am off to Hollywood tomorrow, would be nice if it was the 20 hour plane trip one, but its the 45minute car trip one tomorrow where a lovely Surgeon I have had the pleasure of working with before is going to remove the rest of my thyroid and hopefully get me feeling 100% again.  It was a a whirlwind of tests etc following an abnormal blood test and in the space of a few days I was booked in for surgery. I am hoping to convince the theatre staff to take some photos for me - wish me luck!    The best news though came on the same day as the surgery news, I have a new job!  I am going to be working with Breast Cancer Care WA as an admin officer/receptionist. I am beyond Excited - just absolutely stoked to be working with this fantastic group of people - the plus side for me is their corporate colours are purple, you know this group they are the 'purple Bra Day' people that I have had fun scrapping days before when we had the store.  Did I say I was beyond excited?   I got the phone call driving home on the freeway after having an ultrasound for the thyroid, nearly ran off the road with excitement, and was to start tomorrow, but then the following morning the surgeon rings and says I have booked you for surgery next Wednesday - bugger !  Had to call my new boss and say, mmmm, maybe I can't start now, and she was amazing and now I will start next Monday after coming home from hospital on Friday, I know crazy huh? but truly, so exciting, did I mention I was beyond excited to have this great opportunity?

Prince Miller turned 3 last week, and Sunday we had a Disney Cars themed party - my beautiful Lyndall did an exceptional job, and when I can get the sd card to play nicely I will upload some photos.  The Cake she made was fantastic and she is so into creating beautiful parties and memories for her children - can't imagine where she gets that from,lol. Our wee prince was so chuffed that finally we were singing Happy Birthday to him, his little face was full of wonder and joy - days like this make me thank the Lord for the gift of love and family I have been blessed with.   Of course the big UP for me was taking Finn off her hands for a few hours  for about 3 days in a row - oh yeah baby, Nannie heaven!  The other plus? My big sister and her man joined us from Melbourne for a weeks holiday as well, and it was just the best time for me to have family around, especially as James and Nicola came up from down south as well.  A happy Mamma indeed.    

So now I need to go pack a bag for my trip to Hollywood, so see you on the other side.
