I Hurt All Over..

Ugh the past couple of days have been very tiring. Firstly my stomach decided to flareup with all the pain pills I have been taking so I have felt very knackered and exhausted with that. My good old hip has been quite sore - more sore than normal and I don't know why.

Plus I twisted my ankle on my good leg and that's been aching like hell up to my knee.....with my stomach not well it's making my whole body ache too. I was ment to go see my sister's puppies again today but had no energy. Was also planning on settup up a mini studio and take some portrait photos of the kitties but don't even have the energy for that :(

I am so over pain, so over my hip. My next checkup is next week in CHCH but nothing has really changed since 6 weeks ago if anything I have a little more pain. Physio is frustrating as the cupping is not getting easier and doesn't seem to be making huge headway. I am also feeling funny pains which I think are coming from my screws - god I really don't want to get them out!! If they irritate me it's another op and they cut through the previous scar and take them out. After that it's 4-6 weeks on crutches so the holes where the screws were can heal otherwise there is risk of fracture if you don't.

It's just started raining here and is pretty blustery outside. Maybe it will be a nice weekend??

I am also starting to get my photography business up and running, starting the company registration etc so that's exciting.  Ordering one of my new lenses next week - Canon 50mm f1.4 (nifty fifty) and a speedlite flash, yay! My biggest lens I am saving for is the "L" Series 70-200mm f2.8 IS by Canon, it is pro series and is an insanely awesome piece of glass and with IS (built in image stabilization) it's perfect. Comes with a perfect $3,000 price tag though!!! The other lens after the 50mm that I will be getting is the Canon 85mm f1.8 USM which is around $600 so that's not too bad!

Currently watching LA Ink with Kat Von D - so much better now she has her own shop and away from the Miami Ink boys. Her shop is totally awesome, pink with ornate mirrors and this massive carved reception desk.

I Have New Toys!!

My new laptop arrived this morning, it's so lovely & pink!! Here's a photo;

& I got my new DSLR (first DSLR) on Monday;

The new Canon EOS 450D with twin IS lens kit. Have only taken a few indoor shots at night so not really had a good play but from what I have taken so far it is amazing! I have been wanting this camers since it was released & Bond & Bond had a good finance deal with 15mths interest free deferred payment so I though why not :) Should have them paid off by the end of the 15mths so wont have to pay any extra on interest!

The laptop is just so neat - I love it! It also came bundled with Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 (Photos) & Adobe Premier Elements 4 (Videos) which is about a $230 software package already on the computer. So I am double happy as was looking to buy the software anyway. Not quite ready to move to Photoshop CS3 as it's insanely expensive & Elements has everything I need anyway. I don't like editing photos too much as I like being able to take a great photo without needing photoshop to make it look great.

Next I am going to do an online Digital Photography course which will enable me to setup my own business when my hip if fully healed. I am also working through my Massage Therapy course and will be able to setup that from home also once I am 100%.

So it's a good day even though I am in pain - I have toys!!! :)
