Ouchie ouchie ouchie oowwwww!!!
Yup, only gone and done myself ANOTHER injury!

You know how clumsy I am… And there’s is always something I end up doing to myself…!

Cut, and there will be bruising, on my right ribcage!

How do I manage it? I can hear you all asking… Seriously, I don’t know!

I know the ribs hurt now, but goodness knows what else will be hurting later! Shoulder/arm/ elbow?

I was helping Hubby Dearest with moving an old mattress from our summer house, and being the impatient woman that I am, I started moving it myself. That was all good, then I stepped on a sofa to check something, and stepped back onto a rogue skateboard, slipped, fell sideways onto the corner of Hubby’s weight lifting bench! As I said.. Oooooouuuucccchhhh!!!

And I have a two hour drive this evening to a pre wedding party, then the drive back too!!! Please someone, can I get a sick note??!!

Check out the other clumsy posts here, here, here and here!

There is a plan out there, somewhere, for you… All things that happen,
happen for a reason. It might not seem like the best thing for you, darn it, sometimes you almost want to curse because things are so shitty, but when you look back, you realise it should never have happened any other way…

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you…

I could go on over 800 times, but you would have switched off busy the time I finished!

You’ll never guess, but I surpassed the 800 follower mark today!

This silly little blog I started as an experiment, had slowly grown, and become a huge part of my life. I can’t wait to check things in the morning, and to read other bloggers posts too! The night comes, and before I switch my light off, I read from the reader… The interaction with you all every day, has been amazing! I have made some firm friends, and now I even have a Blogily too! (That’s a blog family, i.e. My sisters and brothers on here.. You know who you are! 😘)

Over 30,000 views, over 900 posts, in just under 8 months!

It’s all down to YOU though! You, the reader, who has liked and commented, and spurred me on to continue with whatever I’m spouting off!!! Apparently y’all like it! 😁

So a heart felt thank you to you all. And I hope you stay with me on this journey!

Big love to you all!!!!

Wham #1!!!

Erika! You got me… AGAIN! Seriously my lovely blog sis has been showering the awards on me recently, and I am so grateful! Bless you sis! Thank you huge huge huge bucket fulls!

The Premio Dardos Award exists to acknowledge the values that every blogger shows in their effort to transmit cultural, ethical, literary, and personal values every day. These stamps were created with the intention of promoting fraternization between bloggers, a way of showing affection and gratitude for work that adds value to the Web.

The rules are simple:

Thank the giver and link their blog to your post.
Nominate other bloggers.

Nominees

Caitlin
A Muslim Latina
Prajakta
Chris
Wham #2!

Mon! Dear Mon! Thank you so much for this very special award nomination!! I ALWAYS appreciate being thought of, and am very grateful!

The Dragon’s Loyalty Award is an award for the loyal fan/commenter, whether the recipient is a fellow blogger or just a someone who follows and comments regularly.

Here’s the rules:

Put the award logo in your post.
Thank the person who nominated you and put a link to their blog.
Nominate other bloggers.

Tonya
Persia
Runaway Nuns And Leprachauns
Leanne

As always, please don’t feel obliged to accept, but if you do, I’d love to know!

Do you know, I almost feel sad that these two nominations didn’t include questions to answer, or a task to unearth more facts about myself, but, actually I was grateful for that too…. I am exhausted from life in general, so it was a nice, easy one (two) to do!
