I got a lovely little email from a bloggy buddy today just checking up to make sure I was ok, thank you bloggy buddy, it is so nice to know that faraway folk think of me 
I am well and happy, my blood test results all came back good (what shockingly bad English I am now writing!), my iron, b12, thyroid, liver and cholesterol are all fine apparently! So that’s good, it seems my tiredness was just from lack of sleep, good to know! Littlepixie has developed an unerringly accurate ability to wake with the rising sun to tell the boo-boos to get up and feed her. The sun rises at 04:30 or thereabouts, ugh. But LP is sleeping from about 21:30 to that 04:30 wakeup so I really can’t complain, if I’m getting less sleep now it’s because I am a silly monkey who stays up late digiscrapping when I should be sleeping
Yes, that darn digiscrapping hobby monopolises a lot of my limited computer time, but I am loving it. Also we took a wee break in Dublin last week (and met up with some wonderful friends and their wonderful sons & daughters for the bestest funest day we’ve had in a long time!).
And I finally managed to make some time to read “The Good Earth” by Pearl S.Buck, over a year after it was recommended to me here by CanCan! It’s a good read, not enjoyable as such as it is quite a melancholic story, but lots of food for thought and well paced in that by the end you too feel as old and tired as Wang Lung. It’s one of those stories that rattles around in your brain for days after you read it and keeps you thinking.
One point though, if in your youth you broke the bones in the arch of your foot, then please don’t read the Wikipedia entry on foot binding, ever. Stupid curiousity got the better of me, and although I had already read more than I ever needed to read on foot binding after reading some other book set in China a few years ago, my little pea-brain forgot the details, so I googled it, and I swear, I can still feel a phantom pain in my old broken foot-bones after reading that Wikipedia entry… shudder.
Oh, there’s a movie of it, I shall get my hands on it, I love movies from the 30’s!

Good to know that all is well!
So glad to know everything’s OK!
Jane had all those health checks, too, and came up fine. In fact, her iron levels were way up high! Yay, for a lifetime vegan diet! Her tiredness apparently stems from not sleeping well, too, though she hasn’t a baby to blame for that!
Anyway, good to have you back! (Hugs)
Helloooooooo….glad to know you are well. Thanks for the book recommendation – I’m always after new books to read so I will keep my peepers out for that one.
Ouch! About the foot. And good to hear all is well.
