Friday night I was happily watching the Olympics opening ceremony when I was hit with a wave of ick. The shivers, tired just altogether blah. I curled up on the couch under the blanket and slept most of the night until bed. The reason for this was shown when I woke the next morning and saw another infected lump on my leg. I wasn't happy I tell you. I felt better later as James blew off his second overtime shift and we went out for the afternoon.

We loaded Corey's bike in the car, the dog, our mini camping stove and set off to the ford. We actually found it this time too. What was funny was we got to it and James totally chickened out at driving the car through. There were all these kids playing there and they're all going 'go through it's safe' but he reversed and waited until another car did it and proved you wouldn't get swept away in the river *g* So we went through and it was freaky seeing the water half way up the car doors, drove out the other side, turned around and did it again. For a reason though as the kids playground was on the other side. We parked up just up from the river and Corey went with a load of other kids playing in the water. There were stepping stones to get across but I didn't try as knowing my luck I'd fall in mid way. I did let Tex have a swim and got wet anyway when this kid filled his cap with water to throw at his sister, miss threw and soaked me. Then a car came through and though I thought I was safe at the side I wasn't at all as the backwash of water came right over my feet. It was gorgeous there. The only problem was I was watching Corey when I came over really faint. I've never actually fainted before but I was seconds from passing out where I stood. How I got back to the car I don't know, but I did and had to sit with my eyes closed until the world came back into focus. Which was really freaky I must admit.

After we drove onto the moors. It's so cool, there's cattle grids on the roads so it means the sheep wander all over. Corey was in heaven as he loves animals. He's got a disposable camera and was taking a load of pictures of sheep. Sheep standing, sheep lying down, sheep with horns, sheep with spots *g* We eventually came to this beautiful spot. It was next to the stream and was lush with grass and heather. There were big rocks scattered around so we set up the stove on one of them and James made hot sweet black tea while Corey played in the water. I swear it's one of the most gorgeous spots ever. I was sitting on this grassy ledge, enjoying the sun and taking in the utter stillness. We would have stopped longer but bad planning meant we had no food and were all starving. So we drove on again and eventually bought chips from this small village then ate them on the moors again. It was just a perfect afternoon you know? I think we're doing it again on Friday but we'll take a picnic this time. I also took a load of pictures but I'll spare you all *g*

Then we came home and I fell asleep on the couch at eight. Woke at twelve, took my tablets, went to bed and woke up at nine to send James to work, and that's what I call a good sleep.



In the tradition of telling you all my sdb dreams, my long sleep made me dream the weirdest things last night. Kevin and Nick were in hospital, no idea why, but the thing was I was actually Nick. I'm channelling Nick Carter, which amused me a lot. We had beds side by side in the children's ward and to show how vivid this thing was I could tell you exactly who the other patients were, names and everything. Why we were in a children's ward I don't know as we were far too old to be there. But the thing to note was later on when Kevin's family came to visit. He changed from his pjs into, get this, a short leather mini skirt and this pink short top that showed off a lot of skin. I don't know man, my mind is insane I swear.

More good things to note. The most wonderful comment this morning from a stranger about my stuff. The kind that makes me grin like a loon and want to hug random people because I feel so good. Unexpected comments make my day so much, it's why I try to comment if I enjoy a story because I know how much it means to the writer, and I'm not knocking anyone who doesn't comment here. I didn't for a long time and I know there's reasons why people don't comment, but I'll stop covering my ass and go back to the fact the comment made my morning so far. Another good thing, a postcard from interlock yesterday which made me laugh, Corey to go into raptures about the picture and James to say my friends are weird *g* Thank you, honey. I loved it.

While thinking of James. He took Corey out on Friday to buy a new house phone with caller display, because if I don't know the number I won't pick up. He came back and said he had a present for me. At which point he gave me a new washing line. Okay, first thing. A washing line isn't a present. Second thing. A. Washing. Line. Isn't. A. Present! Silly man, he nearly had the washing line wrapped around his neck I tell you.

And now I'll stop this babbling post as I've two days of flist to read and things to do in the house. We're taking the in-laws out again tonight. Probably to the pub at the beach again, but this time I won't go looking like a scruff *g*

Hope everyone is well! *hugs you all*

I'm worried about you. *big tight hug*

And you are correct, a washing line is not a present. lol

Sheep are cool! I like sheep! :-)

Almost passing out is not good, I hope it gets better. *hugs*

I try to write feedback for all the stories I like. I didn't for a long time, but when I made my recs journal, I challenged myself to write a comment as often as I can. Even if it's just a "very nice" and nothing more. Feedback is great :-).

*big hugs* I think (ooh! I typed it right! *grins*) the weird dream is your subconscious trying to tell you to talk to the doctor again.

Okay, first thing. A washing line isn't a present. Second thing. A. Washing. Line. Isn't. A. Present!
No, it isn't. So, did you get the new phone, then?

if I don't know the number I won't pick up.
I do, since a) the caller ID doesn't always work on this phone (esp. for int'l calls *grumbles*, b) I don't have an answering machine, and c) I'm nosy. ;-)

**smooshes & smooches and huggles you** ah, my Terri! **gets out big fan, sits you down in lap of luxury and starts fanning you** you must take it easy, love, and the doctor should tell you what you're taking those pills for! They could be causing all your ick!

Glad to hear you and your boys had fun, it sounds absolutely lovely, we've been lounging around the house doing nothing, because a. we've no money and b. apparently we need Sian to go out lol So I'm living the summer vicariously through you, hope you don't mind :)

**smooches you again** dirty girl, dreaming of Kein in the hospital in a leather miniskirt (mmmmmmmmm, leather miniskirt) *g*

I'll be okay, I'm feeling so much better today and if there is anything wrong the doctors should catch it. But thanks for thinking of me.

*hugs back*

I swear when he showed me what he had I could have thrown it at him. We do need a new line but it's something for the house, not a present. Men are so clueless sometimes *g*

[digital-diva.livejournal.com]

My dad is very good at that. I think my mom has gotten every imaginable household appliance for her birthdays and Christmas and whatnot the past few years.

To which we all yell : that's NOT a present! LOL

[seeksasylum.livejournal.com]

So, I read this line: He took Corey out on Friday to buy a new house phone with caller display as: He took Corey out on Friday to buy a new house with caller display.

I was all kinds of impressed.

Then I realized that didn't make any sense and discovered the oh so secretly hidden word 'phone' in there.

I hope you start feeling better honey! I'm really worried about you! *hugs*

And the water sounds amazing. I love stuff like that.

I totally agree with you: a washing line IS NOT a present! Silly men!

And Kevin and a pink top & mini skirt?! Definitely made me giggle this morning. :D

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I'll be okay, really I'm tough. Thank you though, it means a lot you're thinking of me *hugs back*

It was amazing there, I can't wait to go back.

Men are so silly sometimes. For his birthday I'll get him some washing tablets or something *g*

The Kevin thing is making me laugh too, because man all the things I could dream about and I dreamt that, lol.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

LOL. That would have been impressive *g*

[autumnyte.livejournal.com]

*hugs you* Take care, sweetie. I hope everything turns out to be okay with your health.

*smites the infection in your leg*

A washing line!? SO not a present. Reminds me of something my husband would do. The last "present" he got me was a new power cord for my laptop. I was like" um, yay?" and he got all hurt that I didn't go gaga over it. The sad thing is, he loves getting practical gifts, so there's no teaching him a lesson. *g*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'm keeping positive that this is just a blip and once the infection goes I'll be fine again.

See I think it must be a man thing about practical gifts. James would love to get a screwdriver or something, so sadly I can't really teach him a lesson either *g*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Well I finished the unknown set of pills last night and only have the evil antibiotics left. Being as I feel fine now I wouldn't be surprised if the other ones were to blame. But I won't pass up a bit of fanning :)

We had a great time, especially as it was cheap *g* Who needs amusement parks when you can plodge in a river, and really, live vicariously through me anytime.

Oh man, that dream was insane! You'd think that I'd have a sensible dream one day, maybe a bit sdb lovin ;) But no, I get Kevin in a mini skirt, and one I couldn't even touch!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

the weird dream is your subconscious trying to tell you to talk to the doctor again.

*hugs back*

You know you could be right. They're due to call at the beginning of this week so I'll see what they say then.

We did get a phone, a nifty little digital thing with caller ID. It's really cool.

See, I hate answering the phone, I'll do it happily if it's someone I know but otherwise it goes to the answering machine.

[seiyaharris.livejournal.com]

See? Definitely the random unknown pills. I can't believe they gave you pills with no explanation as to what they were for. That's just messed up, yo.

**fans more**

lol indeed who needs the extortionate theme parks? Give me some moors and a river anyway, yo. It's prettier, cheaper, and better for your health... or something *g*

lol I think we know by now that if we're gonna have dreams? No way are they gonna be normal lol

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Sheep are cool *g*

I'm feeling good today, I can laugh at it now but I scared myself a little yesterday. *hugs back*

Feedback is great. I didn't feedback either, then when I started to write myself I found out that even a 'well done' makes you feel good. Saying that I don't get too beat out of shape about people not commenting. I know life happens and some people just don't comment and that's their right.

*helps everybody smite the infections on your leg*

I always did see kevin as the boybander most likely to crossdress in RL. Don't know why. He just looks skinny and GIRLY enough. Don't get me wrong, JC comes in a very, very close second, but i have a feeling it would take a lot for him to actually get down and do it. With kevin, It would be easy. His wife could probably pursuade him.

Washing line isn't a present. Period. Unless it comes attatched to a new pair of jeans, a shirt, a pair of high heels and JC chasez. THEN it's a present.

[ihearthings-ii.livejournal.com]

you kind of worry me a little, sweetheart. I want you to be 100% good 'n stuff!
I am, however, glad to hear about your trip! sounds like you had a great time!
oh and, how can you have a sdb dream and not include an nsync boy? tsk, tsk, tsk, terri! *hugstight*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I'll be okay, really. But thank you for worrying :)

I did have a great time, it was just what I needed to get away with my boys.

LOL. I'm all about Backstreet too but I don't show it as much as the Nsync love.

*hugs back*

[ihearthings-ii.livejournal.com]

That good to know. not the bsb thing, but the okay thing. the bsb thing---- no, you know what, it's okay. *smooch*
