    PKM to reply to your comment in the other thread...it was amazing!! The second my butt hit the ground (with speed I might add...poor butt) I wanted to go straight back up. It was the best experience of my life

    Zara is an amazing little girl, I love her to bits and would do literally anything for her, so this was logical in that sense! We raised enough money for her to go to China and have her treatment and she is making excellent progress now. I bawled crying when I got sent a photo of her sitting up on her own for the first time (at 3 and a half years old). I knew it was worth the fear!

    In other news, I've just taken off my bracelets and my wrists feel funny. I don't like it!

    Lyn, that's great to hear you can see your grandad.

    I assume it's a wake you're attending at your Grans? They're commonplace this end of the country, I find them the only way to really let go and grieve a loss. While I commend you "hanging in there" around your aunts, don't deny yourself the chance to shed tears whilst there. I regretted not having done so at my friends wake years ago and it took much longer in letting her go. If you want a random shoulder, mine has held a fair few heavy hearts xx

    In other news, I got sun burnt!! Absolutely disgusted with myself for letting it happen. Was studying outside and sat down before applying the sun screen. Very raw red arm and leg!! Stupid stupid!!

    Delighted though in my results for my Award. Was only 1% off a distinction so asked for a re-grade of all my work. Got my distinction as well as a new cert stating as such :D. I was also told that I was the highest overal grade so far in the course, meaning I'm the ONLY one with a distinction :D

    Onto the two specialist topics now. You shall all know me as the amazing canine whisperer one day yet :pac:

    Gorgeous car marty, I hope I don't spill anything on your seats when I see you or you'd murder me!

    Thanks foxy, it's not actually a wake, we're just helping organise the funeral and all the family are trying to rally round. I've spent over a hundred euro on cake and wine for everyone in two days!

    Forgot to add, sorry to hear of your worries binxeo, but it sounds like you've got a great therapist. These days disorders/syndromes aren't as taboo as they used to be. And there is just so much more information at your fingertips that you can research it and ask all the questions you need at the doctors/therapists. Not like before where anything regarding any unfamiliar behaviours were all bunched together and nothing got resolved.

    Kids are resilient creatures. Now you know what you're dealing with and how best to go forward regarding his development. Keep your chin up and best foot forward, I'm sure he'll help show you the right direction ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,168 ✭✭✭Ms. Koi


    Congrats on the results, sounds very good!! Smarty pants! :)

    I agree with the taking time to mourn now, it's tougher later.

    I did not get sunburnt today as I was last outside on Saturday and that was walking into Aldi from the car and back to it.

    That is a very tidy looking car. Picked a great day to go out in it. Near combusted into flames in mine today, stupid no air con :( :mad:


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,168 ✭✭✭Ms. Koi


    I haven't driven my car in ages...it took a few goes to start on saturday because it wasn't driven since Thursday. It's so old it needs a start regularly. I dunno when I'll be fit to drive again either so it's gonna need a lot of revving to get going next time!

    Has anybody checked out Googles homepage? Play the video of the alien above the search bar, I found it very entertaining :)

    PKM used to be like that....not so much anymore...us women arent as crazy as you may think.
    ;-)

    Thanks folks. Ah we will be grand with the little man in time, its just a major adjustment, but we are getting great help and support fron the health services dealing with him, they are good dwn this end of the country, resources arent as streched as in the major urban areas. His assessment only took 6mths exactly, I know in Navan its between 18mths and 2yrs just for a diagnosis. Our pysch is really great and very helpful and willing to make any and all resources available to us. Its a long and challenging road ahead but its growth for everyone so it has to be good.

    I don't think Marty would ever change, his car is his baby. :rolleyes: He likes that thing more than he likes any human! :pac: In fairness, he keeps his car immaculate, so I can understand the pride, but seeing him getting annoyed over dust on his dashboard on our very first date was hilarious. :pac:

    6 months for an assessment is really good timing. It's great that you have such a good psych on board, things are always much easier with good help and support. You'll both get through it. He's still the same kid, just now you can all learn better ways to cope with any of his little quirks. :)

    It's too hot!! Pollen count is super high and I can't really open my window. Mam is buying me a fan today, cannot wait! Will be glorious!!! However she won't be home until 4.30 Ish.
    Gonna burst into thesis today, lots to catch up on time wise. Deadline in 22 days and this pain is getting in my way. I shall persevere!
    Gonna chill for a bit first, will wait until our Spanish student is gone to school.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,255 ✭✭✭✭Esoteric_


    Hayfever is destroying me, too. I've only had about 2 hours of sleep, so I'm going to have to try to get a load of coffee down my neck because my anti-histamines make me really sleepy.

    Best of luck with the thesis work!

    No Air-Con at work :(:(:(

    i basically work in a big metal box!! its 30 odd degrees in here and the humidity is through the roof!!! the sweat is dripping off me nd its only 10:15!! its gonna be a long uncomfortable day!!!! :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,168 ✭✭✭Ms. Koi


    I have yet to get out of bed. Heat is killing me. I am the most stereotypical Irish person there is


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 6,817 ✭✭✭jenizzle


    Well wear on the new motor, Marty! I'm due a trip up the mountains some evening, but it just costs so much feckin' money, I'd easily spend €50 in petrol in an evening :(

    The sunshine is awesome, I love it. Can't wait to get the flip out of work and go sit in the garden for the evening :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,255 ✭✭✭✭Esoteric_


    Popped into work to give whoever was covering me my keys, in case they didn't have any. It was a new guy, who I've worked in town with once, for like an hour. As soon as he saw me, he gave me a big hug and spent ten minutes chatting to me, making sure I'm okay. That was really sweet of him. When he saw my dad, he gave him a nod and a wave and said he was sorry for his loss. Nice to know that so many people care. :)

    Nobody in my house is in the mood for cooking breakfast, so I'm going to go get Subway for everyone. :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,168 ✭✭✭Ms. Koi


    That's lovely Eso. I'm glad to hear it. People are nice!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,255 ✭✭✭✭Esoteric_


    That was one of the most difficult things I've ever done. :( he looked so peaceful, though.
