I know, I know...

You're wondering where I've been and what the heck I've been up to?  Well, I don't actually know where the past two weeks disappeared to, it wasn't doing housework because this place is a tip.  Each Monday to Friday have been busy, changes by the day, more and more worry piled on the top of existing worry about jobs and selections and options and my weekends just evaporate.  Each 48 hour segment feels like 90 minutes maximum, isn't that just typical?

One thing I did do last Sunday was accept an invite from CJ for coffee at 11ish.  I rapped on the door and bent head first to untie boots, as I lifted head up, this vision of pride and handsomeness greeted me.  "Have you lost weight?" Were the first words out of my mouth and this cheeky and knowing face smiled back at me.  In three weeks, CJ has lost 14lbs.  He looks great, happy and strong, just what an  Aunt wants to see.  We were having a great chat but I had to cut it short to get back home for B calling in after church.

My own workouts, other than my "Jane Fonda" leg lifts, have dried up recently, between a muscle spasm in my back and total lack of motivation, that's all I've managed.  I am on a bit of health kick though.  Alcohol consumption down, veggies up, porridge up, sleep up.  All good things.

Oh, eyebrows were waxed at the fair hand of the lovely Mandie yesterday, so I feel slightly more human today.

Did I tell you about my eldest sister's cholesterol?  I was told she had a reading of 20, this week, I found out, from the horses mouth that it was actually 23.  So  a couple of weeks ago, on my last visit to my GP, I mentioned this and another sister having high cholesterol and two of my cousins and asked if she thought I should have it checked?  GP loved the idea and told me that "they", the doctors, love people asking for tests.  Who knew?  Anyway, a week later I went for my test and a few days after the fasting blood test I got my results, sugar at 4.4, cholesterol at 4.6, both normal.  Just need to sort out my BP now.
