quick little catch-up

Yes, right, so I know it's been a few weeks since I last posted. Sorry 'bout that. I have not forgotten to write, no no. I have just had many other things taking priority of late. Hope you didn't miss me too much.  Here's a quick catch-up on what's been going on.

• I had my shop (Betty's Place) opening. You can read about it here and here and I will be posting some photos also this week.
• We put up our Christmas tree (the three of us) and had family movie night - Christmas themed of course
• Two blood tests, a wee test, two GP appointments and a specialist appointment later and I found out I have a thyroid issue
• Been doing a load of washing every day the past week as Jaxon has 2 weeks of intensive water-safety classes through school. Ergh, wet boardies and towel every day.
• I travelled to Sydney to attend a really important and grand celebration at the Sydney Opera House for my work's 250th anniversary
• I got a viral infection of the throat kind and had some time off work
• I caught up with some dear old friends from interstate over dinner at the delectable Chin Chin 
• I have considered starting my Christmas shopping

I'm back to writing more regularly now, so expect to hear from me consistently again!  I also have some other news that I'm dying to tell you, but that will have to wait for the moment.
