4 busy years later...

Well now!  That time was not long flying past!

It has been a busy 4 years since I wrote my last post. So what have I been doing that prompted such criminal neglect of my online presence?  My husband became very ill and almost died, twice.  I kept my business running and when I wasn't being kept occupied by children or work or in a hospital  I did drain that garden and laid the most lovely patio and made plenty of clothes (mostly for my children though, pictures to follow).  It was a stressful time and I turned to hypnotherapy to find a solution for my lack of sleep.  It proved so effective that I decided to take on even more and go get qualified as a Clinical Hypnotherapist!!  I graduated after almost 2 years of study at the end of March this year.  I am on the very exciting and terrifying cusp of opening my own clinic very soon!

I also got diagnosed with Graves Disease in the last 6 months; a throwback from all the stress of the last few years according to those in the know and I am responding well to treatment. So that explains why I lost a stone and gained it back and lost 3 stone and gained back 2 of them.  Weight loss with Graves can be tricky.  But I did learn to run and running is every bit as wonderful as I had remembered it to be from childhood (when I wear my Tena Lady pants!)  I fell out of love with the village and house where I live and work and I am plotting my escape as I type. Watch this space!!

Oh... And I went blonde.  Properly platinum white blonde.  And yes.  My hair is fried. I Olaplex it regularly and it is still mostly fried.  But it is occasionally fabulous!

So I am going to have to set some new goals because those old ones were all smashed to pieces.
