Epi-c Day
Busy, BUSY day today!! Well, yesterday... it's nearly 1am.
First, off to the doctors to talk about allergies, specifically about my face resembling a platypus when I last ate a kiwi. I was prescribed an epi-pen, and referred to a specialist. Umm... an epi-pen?! I mean, yes, my reaction was pretty severe, but I didn't completely stop breathing... ahem. Yeah, not too excited about the thought of possibly needing to shove a needle into my thigh. My various allergies to things such as vinegar and garlic really aren't looking all that bad right now.
After the doctor appointment, I went downstairs in the building to get some bloodwork done for my EDS specialist appointment coming up, and then walked down the street to buy some liquorice for a cake I needed to make for a costume party later that night. On the way home, the liquorice froze... yes, it was that cold, and YES, I'm completely serious. It was really an odd thing.
When I got home, I starting making the cake immediately, as I knew it would take FOREVER. You had to bring a snack to match your costume, so I decided to make a horse cake to go with my cowgirl costume. When I finally got the cake in the oven, my time was spent making two different types of icing. When the icing was made and the cake finally done and cooling, I cleaned up all the dishes. Then, I put the cake in the freezer (makes it easier to work with), and headed off to physio.
I walked home just in time to take the cake out of the freezer, and start the fun - cutting the cake into the shape of a horse, icing it, and decorating. SO. MUCH. FUN.
The party was a ton of fun, and my cake was a hit! I went WAY more full-out than I needed to, but it was a ton of fun, so I don't mind in the least. I even got to take the leftovers home!
Now, I should really be asleep... I'm tutoring Math at 9am tomorrow (today), and then I have a job interview at noon. More on that later!
GOODNIGHT!

Christmas is... OVER?
Ok, well, maybe not quite yet. But it soon will be- the 5th, I believe? Or was it the 6th? But anyhow, that's coming up fast. I can't believe how fast that went!
We had my Nana and Papa and Great Aunt from my dad's side over on Christmas eve, and we went to the Christmas Eve service at my church. Then, on Christmas Day, we read the Bible and opened presents with my immediate family before we went over to my grandparents' apartment (my mum's side) with my cousins and ate, opened more presents, and played games. Then, on Boxing Day, I brought Justin to my crazy family get-together up in Hope. Whoa! You haven't seen crazy until you've been to a Downes family party! Anyways, that was great fun. Then the next day, I was very tired... I didn't get much sleep, since we didn't get home until around 1:00 am, and then we had mass the next morning at 8:30! But that's ok. =)
I am eagerly anticipating the new year of 2010. WOOT! I am hoping and praying that this year will be one of new beginnings, healing, love, and forgiveness. I really can't wait. =)
God bless you all!
