stress central...

Good morning everyone...omg I hope you didn't have an afternoon like I did yesterday, remember me saying I hate going to the Doctors well yesterdays visit certainly reinforced that feeling...I don't know if its because I did at one time spend a lot of time at Doctors and hospitals and in and out of both (long story I will tell you all about one day) but as soon as I pull up at the Doctors office my stress levels go into overdrive and my blood pressure shoots up, not good for a normally so laid back person I'm almost horizontal lol...so spending 50 minuets in a waiting room that had every kind of cough and cold known to man in it all seeming to be aimed at me, not to mention the Mother who arrived with her three little vandals (sorry I meant sweethearts of course lol) who proceeded to scream and rip the waiting room apart while their Mother sat calmly texting and chatting on her phone...you can imagine how I was by the time I got to see the Doctor...who then proceeded to tell me my blood pressure was so high he was going to send me to hospital, was I feeling stressed?...bloody hell was he joking lol...I had to explain about how it only goes up when Im in a Doctors office or Hospital and why, so now I have to be supplied with a home blood pressure monitoring system so they can check its ok at other times...it was only when I agreed to it that he said ok no hospitals...phew close call...Phil felt so sorry for me he took me out for dinner to make me feel better...so result there...well not the best afternoon but a good ending lol...right now enough stress announcements onto today's card and wow look at the eyes on this stunning Saturated Canary Beauty...shes called Springtime and I enlarged her and just used her top half for my image, I coloured her with my distress inks and teamed her up with these lusciously coloured papers from the Kaisercraft - Secret Admirer 6.5"x6.5" Paper Pad bought from Bunny Zoe's Crafts...aren't they stunning...I finished my card with a doily cut from the same pad, a gorgeous ruffle edged ribbon bow and an over sized pink flower from my stash...the fab sketch is from Mojo Monday and Im also entering it for the Totally Papercrafts Challenge and the Daisy Doodles Creative challenge too...deep breaths and calming thoughts from me for today...Im having a relaxing painting day with no stress levels involved...well besides from waiting for the phone call from the BP people that is lol...whatever your up to have a nice calm one
