Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 213 - PIZZA!

Forgive us good eating but I still felt sick - was home sick today and slept most of it when I wasn't reading and watching snippets of Ellen and The View - my house mate suggested comfort food and I heartily endorsed the idea!

Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 212 - To work ... and back again

I know it sounds like the title of the third Hobbit movie but even though I felt dreadful, I went to work - walking to the train station felt like I was in some weird alternate universe with everything feeling not quite right - to finish off a 6000 word e-report due that day and once done, packed up and headed home ...

... where I slept. A LOT.

So naturally this is an excuse for cat lola pics ... naturally ...

Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 211 - We have a visitor

Thankfully my gorgeous guy was much better today so we had breakfast, and slightly after Waz came down to give his present to Steve and pick up 4 of the cake pops (orange is vanilla mud cake and blue is chocolate mud cake).

Yes I am ridiculously gay. The cake pop colours MATCH the present wrapping. Ain't it fabulous?!

And yeah I whinged on Twitter about my sickness ...

Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 210 - Sick enough to ...

... to have to cancel my gorgeous guy's birthday dinner.

Sadly that's what we had to do. He had been battling a cold since the weekend before, made it through his birthday dinner with me the night before but spent today in bed with a raging fever. By early afternoon, it was clear he wasn't fit for a birthday dinner with 14 people so I re-scheduled to 11 August, Waz and I picked up the cake pops from the delightful Marina (even though I wasn't feeling great myself) and Steve and I spent the night in with Thai food and my housemate and his boyfriend, which was really quite enjoyable as we caught up on Big Bang Theory episodes and the final Once Upon a Time episode for season 1.

Oh yes and we got up insanely early that morning and watched the Opening Ceremony of the London Olympics 2012 from the comfort and warmth of bed ... and slept through much of the athletes entry into the stadium. Loved the ceremony - awesome! 

Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 209 - Happy Birthday my love

It was my gorgeous guy's birthday today. Poor guy had to work, and I was sick at home with a horrible dose of the flu, but we both rallied, went to a fantastic restaurant with wonderful service, and sublimely good food, Spencer and Guthrie, and had a romantic night despite everything.

Finally here's my darling niece Zara at Seaworld ...
