Ive got news

Well, it seems its time I grew up... Yes thats right :O lol
No really though, Ive been looking into buying a house. YES!! Would you believe it? Me? being all grown up and owning my own house. Lol.
I have been looking into it a LOT lately, there are a lot of pretty cheep houses on the market at the moment.
And the way I see it. Why pay rent, when the money I put into renting a house could go into a mortgage. In the long run, it would cost me less to buy a house and be paying it off, then to be paying rent.
I have looked at a few online, I just need to go have a look at the houses in person, and see what I think of them, and get a feel for them. See which I get a good or a bad vibe from.
Then get a builder to go check it out, and see whats what. :D
Cool aye? Debbie getting all grown up :lol:

Work

Man I have been so busy with work lately, sometimes I dont know if Im coming or going, or Arthur or Martha lol.  Good to stay busy though. Got a lot of shit going on here at the moment so keeping busy with work is a good thing.
I have been thinking of looking into the local High School and seeing if they have any jobs going in the special needs class. I know the lady who lives up the road, she works in that room, and this is her last year. As she wants to stay at home and be with her children more. Also two other teachers there have left too. So they may be looking for new teachers in that room for next year. It would be damn nice to have some normal hour work.
Ive also been asked by a fostering place three times now if I will be a foster parent. As they have been asking around about me ( feels like I was being stalked lol) and they have seen nothing but good things about me, and everyone they have asked, has had nothing but good things to say about me. According to the company I would be a perfect foster parent.  If I have a bit more normal hours, Id love to do that. It would be right up my ally alright.

Death

A close family friend died on the 25th of November.
We were out on a horse trek for the weekend. Out of nowhere, someone yelled out "Brians gone down" Brian was just two horses behind me. We had to go single file though this one part.
I turned around, and saw him on the ground. Jumped off my horse like bloody lighting I tell ya. Never moved so fast in my life. lol
Throw the rains at Dad, and yelled out for him to hold onto Cody ( my horse) Dad didnt even get a chance to catch the rains, and I was gone.
Ran over to Brian, someone else was there trying to put him into the recover position, but had no idea what they were doing. So I took over. he had a slight pulse, and breathing just. I had him in my arms, saying to him the ambos are on their way, and to just stay with us.
Then he took this huge gulp of air.
And it was all over :(
Turned him onto his back and did CPR on him. a nurse who was on the trek came over, and started to help me. But he was gone, :(
First time Id ever had to use my first aid skills on someone, and it bloody happened to be someone I knew personally, and the bugger had to die.
Guttered as :( I went into a bit of shock for a week or so there. I didnt know what to do with myself or anything. Kinda walked around on auto pilot, not knowing what I was doing or anything. That week went by in a big blur.
But he was 75 years old. And he died in no pain, and he died doing what he loved the most, and was around loved ones. his friends and horses. A perfect way out for him.
Just wish I didnt have to be there at the time :(

Lets see some house art

Watches

Hi to the new watches I have :hug: So good to see people still stopping by, and showing their support on different things.
I hope you as a new watcher like my gallery :)
Sorry I have not added anything for a while now. Life has been pretty hard core for me lately. I just havent really had the time to get out there and get any photography done :(
Its also winter here in Kiwiland, which isnt the nicest to get out and about in. Although in saying that, I do love taking macro photos of raindrops hehe. But the flower are mostly dead, so no pretty water droplets on pretty flowers.  I will see if I can get some photos taken this weekend though, as I have the weekend off ( first weekend off in over a year lol)
I do thank you all for the watch though, please keep an eye out, I will add some things soon enough.

Car Crash

No.... I wasnt in a car crash, but there was a big car crash right outside my driveway last Saturday morning. I didnt hear a thing, I only woke up when the Helicopter turned up to take the one person who lived, to a hospital. ( I live out in the country for those of you who didnt realise this ) the other two people were killed :(  A 17 year old male, and a 37 year old woman. The man who is in hospital, is 48. They are not sure at this stage if he will live or not.

Hospital

My best friend is in hospital at the moment, shes been in there for 3 nights now. I have been going in to see her every day before I go to work, then again when I finish work. Which is before visiting hours, and after visiting hours. Thankfully Im a CSW so the hospital knows me due to taking my clients to and from appointments at the hospital, so they let me in when its not visiting hours.
I normally go in only for a few mins before I start work, as I am in a hurry to get to work, so I just drop in my phone charger for her to charge her phone lol. And drop in a mag or two for her to read.
Then when I go up after work, I help her to have a nice shower or bath, as she is a very privet person, and doesnt like making a fuss, so she only lets me help her with that. And I change the sheets on her bed etc, so she has nice clean linen for the night :)  I also take her some take -aways too, as she gets hungry, as they eat so damn early in hospital lol.
Shes on the mend now though, and will hopefully be able to go home tomorrow. Or she I say this morning, as its now 1:40am here lol.

Only three more months

YES!!! I cant wait :D Only about three more months to go, and my hunny should be able to come home to me. I cant wait, damn I miss him so much.
Hes been locked up for close to two years now :(
September 7th is the last day of the course he needs to finish. Then he will go up to the Parole hearing, which should be within a month of finishing the course hes on. Then fingers crossed he gets out on Parole, there is no real reason why he shouldnt. So fingers crossed that happens. Then it should only be about a week after the parole hearing he will be able to come home to me :D:D:D:D:D :excited:
Sooooo cant wait :giggle:
Will also have the step-daughter with us after a few months of him getting home. Shes 6 years old now,
Also my Step-daughters, little sister (not my partners child)  will prob come live with us too. Shes 2 years old. Cant wait to have the girls come live here too :D

Ask me a question

This is your chance to ask me anything you like, and I will answer it as honestly as I can, and post your questions and the answers in here :)
Rules to your questions:
- You may ask up to 5 questions
- Please keep in mind miners can read this.
- I cant think of any other rules hahahah

your Questions, and the answers.

Your questions and the Answers will go here.

snaphappy7530 - what did he go to jail for?
I knew someone would ask that lol.
Umm, well its not really for me to say, thats up to him to tell someone if he wants to.
But what I will say is, It wasnt murder or rape.


B0nkers - Where do you work?
I work for a place called "Idea Services" www.ihc.org.nz/  whi… is looking after mentally handicap people. I work in two different houses, one house is a high needs house. Meaning they need everything done for them. Think of a 6 month old baby in the body of a 40+ year old.
The other house is a more interdependent house. So they are kinda like just need to be watched, just to make sure they are doing everything right, and they arnt going to flood the wash house, or burn the kitchen down hehe.


Christianonfire7 How are things now?
Not 100%, but I am doing a LOT better now thankyou :aww:

Christianonfire7 Any news if the guy will live or not?
No, not yet, as far as I know, there has been no change.

Christianonfire7 And your friend, was she able to be released yet?
I assume your talking about my friend who was in hospital? and not my friend ( partner ) who is in prison? the way you worded it "released" sounds like someone getting out of prison lol.
But never the less, my friend is out of hospital now, shes gone home. Shes on the mend, still not 100% though, but shes getting there one say at a time.


riccassley Well, I think my question is a bit naive but...do you think that monochrome photos or coloured photos are the best for you?
I think that really depends on the photo its self to be honest. There are some photos  take that there is no way, look good in B&W but in colour they look great.
And visa versa, some photos look bad in colour, but turn them into B&W and get a gold star lol
I personal love B&W photos, they are my fav. But that doesnt mean it always works best for me.
I have to admit though, no matter what photo Im working on, I always see what it looks like in B&W or Sepia tone lol.  I just love that "olden days" feel to photos :D

Long time no see

12 min read


Been a while hasnt it

Yep! It sure has, Ive been away for a while now. Life has been pretty crazy lately, work has been flat out busy.
Ive also had to have some time off due to being sick and ending up in hospital :O ops lol.
I am alright though, or at lest I think I am :nana: No really I am alright, I just tend to get tired a lot and easily.

Love

YES!!!! You read that correctly! :D I am in love lol :heart: :blush:
Love my hubby to bits :heart: Cant wait for him to come home. Hes doing a bit of time at the moment :( Hes been away for just about 2 years now. Damn I miss him so much. :sigh: We have known each other for over 10 years now, and been best friends for most of that time. :heart:
I normally go see him every second weekend. But although he still has another 2 years to go, he "should" hopefully be coming home in a few months time when he goes up for parole. There is no reason at this point why they wouldnt let him out on parole. Fingers crossed.  Think I know the prison system inside out and backwards lol. I also know a heck of a lot about what rights I do and dont have. Seen so many layers, and judges its like a second nature lol. I could become someone in the legal system I tell ya lol.  So many people really dont know their own rights.

Cyber Bullying

Due to the subject above, I have had a lot to do with the legal system, so have sat and talked many times to some pretty interesting people about cyber bulling in this day and age. It comes in so many different shapes and sizes. Often a cyber bully is just a little noone on the other-side of the screen. But that doesnt mean their words and actions dont have just as much of a deep cut.
If you are a cyber bully yourself. Shame on you! :no: You're not cool! If anything it only makes you more of a loser.
If you are being Cyber bullied, please do something about it. Tell someone, your parent, a friend, a friends parent. Report them to what ever site you are on. ( In dA you can go to the help desk and send a report ticket ) Dont sit back and let it happen. The only way this can be stopped is if you stand up for yourself.
If you know someone who is being Cyber Bullied, please make a stand, and help them. Do something contact someone, report the person.
If you report them, and the site you are on does nothing about it, or says crap like "not enough information"  then take further action. Go above them, and go see a lawyer. There are many free ones out there who will help you with cases like this. If a site lets it happen, then they are just as bad as the cyber bully.
Dont be a victim :heart:

Bekah's photography

A friend of mine who I have been friends with since we where about 12 or 13 :giggle: Her daughter has joined dA. Id like you all to give a nice warm welcome to bekahboo39
Take a little peek at some of her photos she has added so far.
Please remember she is only new to dA so still getting used to the place. Help her out, make her feel welcome.

Pets

I cant remember what my last update on my pets was. So hmm, let me see, please forgive me if I have already told you all this and Im repeating myself.
My Cat Ashy has gone missing , shes been gone about 5 months or so now. hmm, or was it before Christmas she went walk about hmm, hard to say really. Because all my cats are hunting cats, and will often be gone for a week or two at a time. But this time shes not come home :(
One of her kittens ( shes been de-sexed now) I kept was "Dog" I have given him to Mum and Dad now, they needed a cat to keep the rabbits off the lawn, and the birds out  of the garage. hes very happy up there. They renamed him to "Dotty" :evileye: Mum said dog was a silly name for a cat. I think dotty is a silly name for a male cat lol.
Mischif is still going strong, hes lazing infront of the nice warm fire at the moment. SG seems to be a big off colour at the moment :( Hes not really eating, Im going to get some worming tablets later on, so hopefully thats all it is.
I also have a cat called "Tipsy" Because the tip of her ear is missing. I was given her by the landlord, she turned up there ages ago, and they couldnt keep her as the wife gets sick from cats. So they asked if I wanted her. Of course I couldnt say no lol.. I think she may be preggy at the moment. But Im not 100% sure. The landlord said she has worked out where the rats fall out by some tree, and sits there waiting for them lol. So she may just be really fat from eating the rats lol. But she comes home hungry stll wanting to be feed. But maybe shes just greedy lol.

House Warming

My friend just moved down these ways a month or so ago, its her house warming party tonight :D So Im going to go to that really soon. Im really tired though, so wont be sticking around too long. Ive been working so need some sleep. Im so tired lol... Thats what happens when working night shifts, you get used to napping during the day. Going without that nap really does me in lol.
