Quick Update

Well I was in hospital yesterday for my combined gastroscopy and endoscopy and today I'm in pain, the painkillers are wearing off now. There's not much to report, they took biopsies of my bowel so I'm waiting to see what they say. It's a bit crap really, I was expecting to know after yesterday what was wrong so they could treat it, but my bowel wasn't clear enough for them to see it all so I may have to go in for another endoscopy. This doesn't make me a happy bunny.



However, what does make me happy is I've just booked tickets for myself and Dave to go see Avenue Q on Broadway when we're in New York! (3 weeks on Friday) And I know some people who will be uber jealous hehe.

That's about it for the moment...

Toodles!

Stuff and Nonsense

So I've reached the last week of the tattoo relatively unscathed (I've only pulled my achilles tendon, my hamstring and worsened the condition of my, already buggered, knees) and I've not yet succumbed to the dreaded festival flu so I must be doing something right. I've decided that this will be my last tattoo though, I've done it for three years now and this year has just grated on me. I don't get enough time with Dave or my guinea pigs, I've not seen nearly as many shows as I would have liked to and I'm grumpy from lack of sleep. It's just not worth it.

So, in other matters, I'm paying a visit to the hospital next week and I'm starting to worry about it...The details are for another time, well once I've found out what's going on for myself...

So very tired

I realised tonight, as I sat rubbing ibruprofen gel into my knee joint, that I am, infact, exhasted. This years' festival is taking its toll on me. I'm in my flat and awake on average 3 hours a day. I get to spend next to no time with Dave (my other half) or our guinea pigs and when I'm at home I have endless lists of things to do. I am so bloody sick of cleaning up after my pigs of flatmates, I'm not their damn mother! But, anyway, I'm not sleeping, I'm surviving on sandwiches and in general it's not doing me any good. I'm looking forward to September when we're out of the country, allbeit for a short time, so that I can leave all this crap behind...

Sorry for the horribly depressive nature of this post guys.

Take care!

Some Pictures

Just wanted to share some picures that I've taken over the past couple of nights at work...

I'm currently working as a followspot operator for the world famous Edinburgh Military Tattoo and this is one of the views I get from my spotlight...beautiful huh?

And this is the cast of this years Tattoo, the odd looking thing at the left hand side of the picture is my light. It was a very wet night, and yes, I am that high up!
