EEEEEEEEK!!!!!!
The Eeek refers to the fact that I haven't 'blogged' for a while. Is this a reflection of how hard it is to keep up with all the ivillage activities (here and overseas), keep up with friends and contacts........and just generally have 'a life'...............or is it a reflection of the fact, that due to circumstances in my life currently, there is not a whole h3ll of a lot to 'blog' about???
Think we'll leave that as a rhetorical question, lol!!
I have made several overseas 'connections' and I am finding them so friendly and active on ivillage...........so a big "hi y'all" to them!! I have joined 3 ivillageUSA groups and am having fun checking in with them..............although on the book lovers group................slow down guys!! Do you EAT books???????????
Have also joined the Feeling Fit and Healthy group........and they are being super-supportive so again a huge thanks to all them (interestingly....there is quite a cross over between book lovers and feeling fit'n'healthy-ers!!)
Have signed up to the UK 'Lose a lb a week til Christmas challenge'..........it's just in the first week, so a bit too early to tell how it is going.....but fingers crossed.
What else have I been doing? Getting extremely stressed over all the things in my life that are in a state of 'flux'........this has a knock on effect on my health and energy levels.......and have begun to feel like I am never going to pull myself back up to being even moderately energised...........burnout is a b#*#*!! Nothing I can do about it except make the most of the good days, and try not to get too frustrated over the bad days (of which there have been a LOT recently)...........I will get there...........but when you feel that you are being judged ("You've been off work, HOW long???") you are inclined to get a bit neurotic! PS....Never (if you can help it) make someone feel that their only value is in contributing to the gross national product!! I want to get back to work.......but NOT at the price of my wealth, well-being and happiness....a lesson 7 years in the learning and I am still struggling with it..........
On a positive note (yay!!!) I had a free makeover with Clinique (they are pushing their Autumn colours)..........bear in mind the photo was taken in cr@p light with my mobile phone.....but there is a photo of 'made up' me....somewhere in the gallery...............if I can work out how to display it in this blog I will do............but ain't making no promises!!
Ok.......................have I waffled enough?? I think so! Off now to find a quote for today or tomorrow...................take care peeps!!
