Diving In

I used to be quite content (at least that's what I'd convinced myself) with my well practised ability of never making decisions. For whatever reason, I realised that I was bored with just floating along in life and I needed to make some changes. So I've dived in and made some decisions ...

In January, I started laser hair reduction surgery after debating it for at least five years. I'm having my stomach done at the moment (as it's a relatively cheap area to treat) and if I like the results I'm going to move on to every else. I've had two treatments using an nd-yag machine and so far, I'm impressed with the results.

In February, I went for allergy testing and discovered I have Candida, meaning I have yeast overgrowth in my body (yuk). The incredibly annoying thing is I suspected I had Candida ten years ago and in an uncharacteristically (there's a long word) bold move went to my GP about it, who basically said "Bah hum bug" and sent me packing. It turns out GPs don't recognise Candida except in rare and extreme circumstances.

And in this month, March, I've started this blog. Probably not the craziest, most wild thing anyone's decided to do but hey, it's sort of an impulse and I never act on impulse. (Just ask my old house mate. Suggesting to me we get a spur of the moment take away used to scare me. I'm not that bad anymore!)

That's enough for now ... I'll fill you in more in my next blogs.
