Last Saturday I went and had my special treatment morning and it was wonderful.
I came away with legs waxed; eybrows shaped; eyelashes tinted; feet pedicured and toenails painted; pampered hands (although as I nibble my nails a manicure wasn't quite on but they still looked good); my body massaged (relaxation rather than envigorating). I came out fully rested - then went home and slept for 3 hours. I must have needed it.
Yesterday it was time to get my hair sorted. I'd had it done a couple of weeks ago and the blonde "darkened" but I hated it and ended up giving it a red rinse as it was too mousey brown for my liking - and I sure ain't no mouse.
So off to another hairdressers for a fresh look. Highlights and new chop. I feel great and it's easy to keep in style which is necessary as I'm now doing the gym stuff.
The date with the dietician is now confirmed and I'm heading there on the 14th. I'm dreading it cos I keep thinking that all my fave foods will be banned and I'll be left eating cardboard bread and lettuce leaves (ugh). Then again I could be pleasantly surprised...
Still I'm counting my blessing that it's all be found out in time to do something about it and delay the onset of insulin dependancy. I'm also glad that despite the problems of asthma, eczema; high blood pressure; under active thyroid and diabetes I'm mobile, have all my limbs intact, my senses work (some better than others) and I've no disfigurements. That's a great blessing!
As for the menopause...well it happens to every woman at some stage in her life. It's frustrating, but someone pointed out to me that the benefits come afterwards. Oh the joys of never having to use a tampon and not having to take the pill or any other precaution other than condoms to be safe. All I can say is that at the moment I have my personal climate!
