Done n Dusted

By -
I am very pleased to say I have finally ticked off all those annoying checks one has to do when one is, um, over 25 or something....

  1. Dentist
  2. Gynae 
  3. Mammogram
  4. Dermotologist
  5. Vitality (blood pressure, glucose, cholestrol)

Anything I have missed that I should be doing?

I think I should now do some fun stuff....hmmm.... a massage would certainly not go amiss.

Are you diligent in getting all your bits checked out annually?  :-)

I am pretty good about doing them all annually, except the dentist- VERY bad about that one.

And I have never been for a mammogram. My doc "checks" them out every time I go for a pap smear. Hopefully thats enough.

Hmm.

1. No.
2. Yes.
3. Not old enough yet (HAH! Take that!)
4. No.
5. Yes.

As for 1, yes I know I have to get my pearly yellow's sorted out stat. As for 4, I saw a GP to check out something that was concerning me and he gave me the all clear.

I usually get everything done annually, but over here - until I hit the big 4-0, it's only required every 3 years, not that that is going to stop me though...hmmm.

@ Ness...i am not old enough to require a mamm either...I do it because I want to be extra careful. More and more YOUNG woman are cancer sufferers these days and I cannot understand WHY they dont bring the screening age DOWN.

Good for you Mel. My 38 year old friend was recently diagnosed with advanced breast cancer. She is going through hell with hectic chemo, then will have a mastectomy, then radial therapy and then a reconstruction. All this could have been prevented had it been picked up with a mammo.... But as she's under 40, she hadn't had one. Soooo - you are right... And that all being said: I need to go and book myself a mammo :) all the other stuff I have done x

You did great with all your checkups. I am very diligent when it comes to yearly checkups. I don't let them go by because of how important they are.

Hello April 2024

By -
We have settled into our new home.  It has taken many twists and turns along the way. In August 2022, Rach moved out and now she is returning home. Which means I am renovating the tiny house to make space for my firstborn.  I can safely say I am very excited to have everyone under the roof again - I was not ready for my eldest to leave so soon. It was never the plan. Life has a way of offering second chances and restoration in way we never can imagine. Although this comes with its own set of challenges - for her and for me - I see it as an absolute win. It may be a revolving door and various permutations in the years ahead but this is almost certainly the last year all 3 kids will be under my roof. This blog was born in 2007 - when Levi was under a year old. I spent the next 8 years sharing my life and theirs right here.  I have battled to figure out what this blog now needs to be ?  Am I going to continue to write for my kids? I am not even sure they need that anymo...

Silent Tears

As I was rushing around putting kids to bed my tween, Honey, beckoned to me. 'Come here Mom, I need to talk to you.' Something in her tone slowed me down and forced me to take a breath and follow her into her bedroom. As I looked at my beautiful daughter, growing up so fast I heard these words tumble out of her mouth: 'Mom, I hate my face. I am ugly'. I cannot tell you how unprepared I was for this statement. And yet, in an instant, I remembered this time in my life; when I looked in the mirror and didnt like what I saw. I listened quietly as she went through each of her stunning features and told me what she saw. I know there is little I can say with objectivity as her mother. She wont believe me just as I didnt believe my mother. I am happy to say when she woke up this morning she was her usual cheerful self. Full of beans, energy and confidence. Not a glimmer of the sad, insecure little person I saw the previous evening. I will have to start anticipatin...

April lockdown life

By -
The weekend went by in a blur.  A blur of eating, lounging, sleeping, netflixing, occasional exercise and general malaise. I did, finally, get around to setting my kids loose to find their Easter eggs...a week later but no one really knows what day of the week or month it is anyways. There was much hilarity as the boyf took his life in his hands and pushed the girlf into the pool to celebrate Easter victory. Usually this would have him sin-binned for hours but she took it unusually well.... I spent some time online searching for ways to pivot the business I work for...in an attempt to keep my income rolling in. Sadly my rental properties are not ticking over as my tenants cannot pay rent...this will be month 2 of zero rental income for me which is terrifying..but I cannot blame them. We are all suffering at the hands of this ridiculous outbreak and can only hope that some sort of revenue generating income finds its way into our economy soon. I have started watching Outlande...
