Another year

Please meet Einstein the Elf

I must firstly tell you that I had a really lovely Christmas. With my husband and both kids home what more could I want? We all received amazing gifts and ate and drank in front of the fire. Drank?? Well.... Yes, a little. My daughter googled Google until she found a website that indicated a little alcohol drank with concussion wouldn't kill me. Bonus!

My concussion is still here. I tried to shave my legs in the shower on Christmas morning - bad idea! Woozy understatement! I ended up sitting down in the tray to do it. Uncomfortable and with a cold bum! By Wednesday I thought I was feeling better.... By Thursday I'd decided I wasn't! It's getting on my nerves now! I am not amused.

On Christmas Eve I found a lump in my armpit. Hard, the size of a pea, not painful. I kept thinking it was probably harmless but a tiny bit of me was worried. Anyway doctor saw me promptly on Wednesday and put my mind at ease. She's happy it's benign.

With 2018 fast approaching this is the time we reflect on the past year - at least I usually do. Not this year. No more looking behind me, that can't be helpful to anyone. I guess mistakes made can be analysed (to prevent a recurrence) and then stapled, filed under S and locked away. We are also supposed to look forward and make resolutions! Nope nada no. My annual 'I will lose weight', 'I will go to the gym' and 'I will become the best version of me - slim and fit and funny and gorgeous and tidy and thorough and healthy...' hasn't made a jot of difference in the past God knows how many years! In 2018 I'll look at each day as it comes. No promises. No commitments. No contract. Just me, thankful for each day I wake up. My family and my friends and my pets and my colleagues. This is me (like me or lump me) and this is my blog (read me or don't). I'll be here with my weekly views on my fat bum and I hope you'll join me. Wishing you all a fantastic New Year - whatever your plans or wishes or wants. I hope 2018 is your year!!

You can't go back to make a brand new start but from now you can start and make a brand new ending!

PS ignore the utter shit above - I will be desperately trying to lose weight and get fit and healthy - if it kills me!
