I just read my last blog. Gosh what a whinge! But the funny thing is, Thursday was kind of pivotal. I was obsessing, as per usual, before seeing my rheumatologist (trying to guess what he would ask me so I would have the answer!) and in the process had a fairly major epiphany. In explaining to the doctor my plan of action I realised that I no longer thought of myself as a "derelict hovel" but more as a "unique fixer-upper" or "handyman's delight" :P I have a bunch of projects on the go - diet, exercise, blogging - which I will use to "rebuild" myself. Like all DIY projects, it will take some time and there will be set-backs both major & minor, but I feel a bit more positive in my outlook. I spent this morning at the Glass House Mountains Visitor Centre as I was asked to be a volunteer JP (in my case Commissioner for Declarations). I just sit in the air-con with the nice ladies and sign stuff. Today was the first day - and two people actually came in! It was all very exciting! I was crook as a dog on Sunday after entertaining friends until 4am - no sleep does not a happy Lou make!! But after good sleep last night I am back on track - I hope!! I have to throw my diet out the window for a couple of days as I have a low-residue diet in preparation for my colonoscopy on Thursday. One of the steps in my rebuild program - get all the things that are fixable fixed and all the things that need checking checked! Onward & Upward!!
