Life of Lu 30/05/11

Hey there folks!
It is that time of the week again!
I've just realised that it has been a whole week since I last wrote a blog.
That is very slack on my behalf.
I promise to do better!
So what has happened in the last week.

Well most of it has been consumed with sickness I'm afraid. I've been pretty flippin' sick. And I'm still not fully better though I am starting to feel more alive.

 I'm not the best patient in the world, but thankfully I have SUPER housemates who have really taken care of me with lashings of tea and hot water bottles. Thanks guys!


Today however was quite an adventure!
I had the day off work and went to post an over due parcel to my lovely friend Tif
My house mate Joey came with me.
On our journey we met a boy.
He was drinking this



Apparently he had bought it in Galway.
Sick stomach or no I had to find the supplier of this delicious cherry cola flavoured delight.
So he directed us to a brand spanking new shop on Abbeygate Street that sells lots of sweeties.

And these

I have never been so excited about some chocolate in my life!
Now, the Tim Tams are ridiculously expensive.
About 4euro a pop.
But as a treat once in a while I think that can be justified.
They're frickin' Tim Tams!!!

At the moment, our life is revolving about the thing of nightmares.
If you've done it, you've probably dreamt of it.
You know what I'm talking about!

The Leaving Cert!
My nightmare is always about Maths Paper Two.
Strangely, it is the paper I've been able to help James with the most.
Weird huh?

So, we've had to accept that until these exams are over romance is more or less dead.
But never fear
It has been replaced.
By this

and this


Next Tuesday is Leaving Cert Eve.
I will be quite curious to find out what I have to say then!!
Have a good week guys!

    I feel much better today thanks!
    Yay!
    I hope you like your parcel... it was wedding orientated so you must forgive the pointlessness of some of the items now that you are married!!
    It is REALLY hard to get cherry cola over here... I go on a serious cherry cold overload when I go to the UK. I love the stuff! Hence my excitement at the can of wild cherry pepsi!

Turning 28.

Well. It happened. I turned 28. You know, ignoring a manic depression which lasted all of 20 minutes, I'm pretty ok with it. Rather than shy away from the fact that 30 is just around the corner, I've decided to confront it. Head on. "How?" I hear you ask. Well I have decided to celebrate the final years of being a twenty-something by embarking on a '30 things to do before I'm 30' challenge. I've been working on it for weeks. My friends here in Edinburgh have been really encouraging and I think together we have compiled a pretty mega list. Here we go (in no particular order) 1)Read the BBC top 100 books 2)Bungee jump (I should mention here I'm afraid of heights) 3)Go zorbing 4)Learn a new language 5)Visit the Sistine Chapel 6)Make a quilt (I've always wanted to. I blame Winona Ryder) 7)Visit Tiffani in Utah 8)Parachute Jump with Agata 9)Raise money for charity 10)Do the Great Scottish Run (ugh. The idea pains me.) 11)Sell something

2020

I have started this blog post four times now. I think that is a new record for my procrastination. I didn't do a New Year blog, and my previous versions of this were a look back on 2019. I'll be very honest, I don't want to look back on 2019. I want to put it in a box, and seal it away forever. There were some fabulous moments. Of course there were! I got engaged to the most wonderful man I have ever known. I witnessed the weddings of some of my best friends. Babies were born. There was an abundance of soft play, cuddles and karaoke. For me, 2019 will mostly remind me of being ill. It was a huge part of the year. The worry consumed me for the majority of the latter half. I now know more about hypertension, blood pressure, kidney function and kidney failure than I ever thought necessary. It sucks being ill. It sucks knowing that you have an illness that will never go away. It doesn't feel fair. If I am very honest with myself I went into a little bit of a pit

What is happiness?

Last night, instead of doing my Life of Lu for the week (how bold, never fear, I'll do it after this) I met up with an old friend of mine. It is always  nice to meet up with someone who you can just pick up with as if you met them yesterday. Anyhoo, The conversation got very philosophical as can happen after a couple of cold ones and the question came up "what is happiness?" Profound huh? Well we decided that happiness is not a continuous feeling merely something that happens in a moment and we have to ensure that we get plenty of those moments in our lifetime  for it to seem happy. Deep I know. This is what we came up with as an answer to  What is happiness? -Getting a big hug from someone who puts all their heart into it. -James added the first time his little niece Emma came to sit on his lap for a cuddle (it was the start of a lovely little friendship) -The first time you kiss that person you have dreamt about kissing and it tingles your toes - The moment when you f
