wait list vs. have insurance or you're dead (and you're potentially dead even if you do have insurance)

it's a screwed up world

i am very grateful for the NHS. Waits suck (I’m still waiting for one referral from early pregnancy lol) but it’s better than not being able to afford basic care

Oh man so much has happened in the last month

- Ellis is high priority for his wrist surgery so should only be waiting a few months instead of 6-12 months
- he can’t work so somehow my art has become our main income which has been very strange
- Forrest can stand up, feed himself milk, and feeds himself finger foods
- got approval to go to the gym today and am v much enjoying it
- found out Forrest has my tomato allergy woo

I think that’s it really. I’ve been struggling with pain and fatigue and been pretty much in a wake>work>sleep pattern except for the days I have to go out

I'm glad Ellis is getting surgery sooner then later. Forest is growing in leaps and bounds. My niece is growing in leaps and bounds, she's got lots of teeth and soon will get her 2 year old teeth though she doesn't turn 2 till August. It's like she's willed all her teeth to come, crazy girl but I love her and she loves me always runs to me ad hugs me. Today she gave me a hug and wouldn't let go and put her head on my shoulder. There so precious you kinda don't wanna let them grow up. You have great art so keep up the good work. You keep jugging and never give up, you got a beautiful kid.

My cold turned into tonsillitis lol. My mum came to visit same day so I asked her if it was my lymph nodes that were swollen and she said yeah and asked to look in my throat and basically diagnosed me on the spot XD managed to get a gp appointment same day and his reaction was “oooooh yeahhhh so you said you’re not allergic to penicillin?”

I’ve had 3 days of a 5 day antibiotic course now and I still can’t really swallow solids so I’m hoping it gets better today.

My best friend Sophie visited yesterday for what feels like the first time in months and we ended up chatting for hours so that was really nice

Forrest’s baby classes are on break for two weeks so we tried a different baby thing called rhyme time and he absolutely loved it, so we’re going to try to take him there as much as we can. Plus it’s at the children’s centre which we can walk to and from and it’s nice getting out walking in this weather

& Ellis has been helping me prep for Manchester AGC (been doing a lot of stock taking and organising because there’s not much he can do with his wrist bless him) and I’m SOOO excited for it. I’ve got some new products that I’m really happy with and Forrest is coming too and gets to meet everyone

Forrest has a few more teeth cutting at the moment so he’s been quite clingy and wants holding a lot, it’s honestly been really sweet after the last few months of him being so independent. I’m terrified at how fast he’s growing, how is my baby a one year old in two months??
And thank you that’s really sweet <3

manchester agc = good
my legs after manchester agc = bad

I've legitimately had a pain in my left calf since Friday night setup XD its a bit better today though so hopefully back to normal tomorrow
Tomorrow forrest's baby classes restart so i'm excited

i also have an appointment cause my hiatus hernia has become symptomatic since the tonsillitis so that should be interesting

i think thats it?
honestly ive just been super tired after con, it was super good but it really tired me out and i'm still catching up on all the online orders i had XD

UGH what a busy few weeks!!

family wise:
- planning forrests first birthday! got the local community centre booked so all the family can fit and we're going to have soft play for the little ones. gotta work out decor soon
- trying to make sure we take forrest out more now that its sunny weather, got a cute photo below c:
- he's getting a little more confident with staying stood up on his own now!

business wise:
- art business has taken off a fair amount, getting an online order or two a day now so been pretty busy with that
- had my first outdoor market since december and was super fun, local too so i can go on the bus! its monthly so hopefully i can do june/july (think august will clash) which is a nice bit of income
- been prepping for my busy summer with some new products including hair bows and earrings which has kept me even more busy lol

and we're still waiting for a date for @PeskyEllis's surgery so I guess i'm gonna be the main income for the rest of the year XD which is scary to think our shopping relies on art but it's kinda cool too
