squigglywiggly's Journal, 05 May 2011

Ugh! The quakes are settling down a bit this week but I now have a terribly sore throat and bad cold! I guess my body is letting down it's defences and that cold that has been trying to sneak up on me finally did!

Hardly slept last night and woke at 3am and gave up and come onto here to chat LOL.

Still going in circles with our heating, such a huge lack of communication and no one knowing who we are meant to be talking to etc - such fun.

We have a new bird here! He belonged to my parents, but they have taken in a quake refugee in the form of a cat LOL. So we have their bird. I like him so am happy to have him as part of our family.


Been eating too much baking (granulated Splenda) and been eating more in general to insulate against the cold I think. The weight has gone up a few kg, same with hubby. Am not going to do any more baking for quite a while I think!

No other news I don't think. Which I guess is a good thing! LOL

haha, just commented on your other journal entry (the 2nd). What is going on now with your heat? I thought it was going to happen. I really hope you aren't having to deal with more drama trying to get it taken care of.

Yeah it is going to happen, we just don't know when. I got frustrated yesterday and finally got hold of someone who might be able to get the ball rolling a bit more. We hope! LOL

Sorry that it is taking them so long to get the ball rolling Squiggs....it isn't a wonder that you are sick between the cold and the stress. Glad that you were able to take in the refugee from your folks after they took in the feline one. That is truly awesome, and makes my heart warm. To be caring for those little 4 legged (and 2 legged) guys when you guys already have so much to deal with...finding the time to be kind to other of God's creatures just reaffirms what I already knew...you guys are truly amazing! Love ya, and still praying for all affected. Big, big warm hugs!

It's just so terrible how people can keep giving you the run around, especially in times like these.

Yup Stef I am amazed I kept well for this long! Been fighting off colds for 8 months so it was only time before they won LOL. People in this city have been amazing with the animals, and even the plants LOL. There are plant nurseries where people can take their plants to be looked after while their land is being fixed and their houses rebuilt LOL. Big hugs back! Make sure your antivirus is up to date! LOL

Hi Squiggs, so sorry you have a cold. I just got over one and I swear I did not send it your way. I kept coughing in the crook of my elbow...I also run from people that cough in the stores. Hope your feeling better soon Sending love and hugs........Bren

ROFL I hold my breath if people cough near me in the stores LOL. Right now it is mainly the sore throat and a tap for a nose.... will be glad when it thickens up LOL

I keep some hand sanitizer in my purse and I use it....I also set some out at church for others to use!  
04 May 11 by member: ctlss
I can't use that stuff, the skin on my hands is too sensitive, and I partly blame the hand sanitizers I used to use.....

Thanks Deelytful1! Yeah I could never imagine it before these quakes, now sadly it is a fact of life here in Christchurch. At least for a year or two. Thanks for caring!

Squiggly Love birds. I had one for years and he brought such joy and love to my life. I hope your bird gives you some comfort... pets can really offer a lot of comfort. Take care of yourself and stay warm!
