I always knew champagne was bad for you...

How on earth can this happen? We opened a bottle of champagne a few nights ago, in celebration of our house progress, and when I put the bottle back in the fridge, I put the cork back in lightly. Yesterday after making my salad, I opened the fridge to put the lettuce back in the veggie container, and BANG!! Something hit me full force, in the right eye! I thought someone had shot me! I dropped the veggies and covered my eye with my hands - it hurt so much!! All sorts of things were going through my mind, not in the least which was "what the hell was that???" and "Help, I need an ambulance!!". After I came to grips with the situation, I slowly pulled my hands away from my eye, half expecting it to be gushing blood. It had swollen already. Rushed to the bathroom to check it out and could barely notice a thing!!!! After the initial pain of it hitting me (eye socket and actual eye ball!), there was no pain and the swelling went down quickly. I am left with a bit of what I am calling a 'blind patch' - at times it feels like my hair is covering my eye. So how freaky is that!!! Imagine, could have lost my eye to a champagne cork!!!!

So, that is my story of the day :)

Today I have started writing a diary for WF&H mag. They are doing an article on "A day in the life of" me :) Gee, be a pretty small and boring article, will have to send lots of pictures of clients to go with it :)

Trained back and tris tonight with Jodie. It was like a sauna in the gym, must have been over 35 degrees outside and humid. First day of new program, is always a bit of a 'get to know the program' kind of workout.

Our plumbing has decided to pack it in. Shower has been dripping non stop for days now, and tonight after getting out, it was literally still running buckets, but taps were turned off as tight as
possible. Another job for tomorrow.

Got to get new computer this week. Getting a laptop so I can sit anywhere in the house and do my work (wireless network is awesome!). Especially when we get the new place, don't want to be stuck upstairs in the office all day! Am a bit afraid of the changeover of data, files, programs etc. Something ALWAYS goes wrong. So, this is taking up a lot of my time this week.

Had skin folds done again today - they have all dropped back to previous readings, knew last fortnights readings were weird.

Have started looking for my comp bikinis. Going to get something special this time!

Well, have had a late night of work tonight. It's 11.30pm so I am off to bed.
