14 and Counting ...

It's just gone midnight, so it's now 15th October. Today is the day my lovely, gorgeous, wonderful Seanie turns 14. I already tried the 'this time 14 years ago I was ...' speech, but I got told to shut up cos I've told him the same every year. Charming! This is a pic of him with Colin's Mum, Irene, taken in August in Southport. Ooh, my lovely handsome boy!

Wow, I really can't believe how quickly the time goes. I can barely remember a time when he was really little, it seems like he's always been my supportive, wise, helpful young man.

Anyway, Happy Birthday to my Ninky Nonky - hope your day is fab, and not boring as you expect it to be.

This weekend has gone quickly again ... I had to go to work today because we've had our new computer system go live, and the intention was that as many of us as possible would go in today to help with the process of renumbering and relabelling all the medical records ... ah, good intentions. We all got there for 1.00 pm, but because the system wasn't quite ready we didn't get to start renumbering until 3.45 pm ... and a lot of the girls had arranged to be picked up at 4.00 pm. I don't know if I was the last one to leave (my office is at the other end of the building), but I suspect I probably was. I was there until 6.30 pm, and didn't really get much done as the system was running soooooo slowly. I can only wonder at the chaos there will be this week while everyone frantically tries to get the task done.

On a bright note, I'm really pleased with some of the photos I've been taking recently, thanks to being made to stop and think about how the photo taking process on Cheryl's course. Anyway, I'm so pleased that I am setting myself up with some online gallery software so that I can display the best ones. I'm not necessarily setting myself up as some sort of fabulous photographer, but I do think it's encouraging if I can see all my lovely pics in one place, and it will be good to be able to point my friends to the gallery so that they can see how fabulous and clever and talented I am!

Can you tell, I feel a bit better now? It sorta feels like the black cloud is lifting again, and I am so relieved. The last couple of weeks have been hell. I still don't feel 100%, but I'm getting there, and that's good. That's another reason for setting up a photography portfolio - it's an achievement to take good photos and I am going to celebrate that to the max! Once I've got it up online I will post the link in case anyone wants to take a look.

Right, time to see if the gallery software has finished uploading yet!
