Well I’ve finally decided to release Shave pics to the world to see. It’s already quite spikey and I’ve hit that awkward stage where I’m not sure what to do with it.
weeks after the shave
Taya and I, poor girl, not so impressed by my shaved head
3 months of growth
So next year everyone I want to see you shaving, see it grows back, it’s only hair

I have to get my cholesterol down and its difficult as it is a genetic weakness. Generally my diet is great, although I do need to lose some weight. In the bame of experimentation, good health and my love of projects I am embarking on a porridge diet. Not an unhealthy one, just a breakfast one. I will take bloods and test my cholesterol monthly (similar to the test in RAW food) and see how I go. So follow me on my quest to raise the odds and lose the cholesterol.

Hi all and yet again, my sincerest apologies for not blogging in so long. I thought I owed you all at least some excuse as to where I’ve been and why I have been absent. In my quest for my life’s purpose, my soul searching, or spirit guides, or runaway passion has kicked me forward into a Bachelor of Nursing. I started in March and I guess, based on my termination of blogging being late April, that must have been when things heated up. I am really enjoying it, but feeling like I have perhaps taken on a little too much?? I have also gone out and captured myself another job- this time in aged care- all with the intention of cementing my studies.
I promise once I have my three careers I will stop- I feel that my completeness is reliant on my background in education, a Bachelor of Nursing and then a strength in journalism and writing.
My vision is strong- Aid projects, educating on health issues and working in hospitals and writing of these experiences.
In the meantime I have soooo many stories and have decided to diarize (is that a word?) my experiences as a nursing student. Wow- 6 shifts and I already have enough yo fill a chapter. So enter the cone of silence and I’ll share with you my experiences to date. In the meantime, I have two exams next week and an essay due tomorrow so….. until next time.
