Our weekend away

Today is Monday 8th June and we have just got back from a beautiful long weekend away from up the Coast, at a place called Sunshine Beach. It is such a beautiful, wonderful place that none of us wanted to return, well only to pick up Ramses from the cattery but that was all. The weather for the whole weekend was warm and sunny and perfect, hard to believe we are in Winter really! We stayed in a lovely apartment which was just a short stroll to the lovely beach. We were just 5 minutes out of Noosa which I am now thinking that this is my favourite place on the coast...Mooloolaba coming a very close second. We didn't get up to too much, just spent time on the beach, went into Noosa for a whole day, went out to dinner, went on walks and checked out lookouts along the way. The Friday was our wedding anniversary which is the main reason why we went away. Here are some photos like I promised from last week.





































There are loads more so I will add them to the Picassa Album that is linked to this page to your left. Overall our weekend was perfect. Putting Ramses in the cattery was the most stressful part. Ian and I took him down there on Friday morning and as soon as he was put in his little cage, he put his head under the blanket, peeped up, scared with his big eyes bulging, and then his head went straight back under. This really upset me and made me feel soooo guilty leaving him. I was crying and the lady told me I had separation anxiety and not to get upset in front of him as he would feel my emotions. I'm glad Ian was there to comfort me as I was very upset, poor thing. We were so excited about picking him up today and when we got there, the lasy told us that he had his head under the blanket the whole weekend and didn't make a sound! He thankfully ate but just kept to himself. He was very happy to come home, a little bit wary at first but is really settled now and has been back and forth, in and out all afternoon.
The week leading up to our weekend away was very stressful as I had all of those Dr.s appointments and tests etc...I have another specialist appointment this week and am waiting to hear from the hospital as I have to see a haemotologist as my white cells are very, very low and I may have to have a bone marrow test. This is so deja-vu of twelve years ago when I got sick for a few months. Hopefully it will just be another virus and nothing more. So I guess I got a bit overwhelmed with it all and ended up not feeling well enough to work Thursday and Friday, which always makes me feel bad for having to cancel appointments but I do have to look after my health at the moment and be smart about it.
This coming week should go very quickly indeed with it being a short week and will give me some answers with what's going on with me. Will let you know more when I know more. The weekend away was good for all of us for sooo many reasons and gave us all the physical and mental break we all needed. Back to reality I guess now....
