I didn't plan to do this but I went for it....vegetating for a whole day! WoW! But now I find myself still up at 2am in the morning while my beau is snoring in the bedroom. I don't recall when I last relaxed so extensively since marriage. I decided to not take on any major responsibilities. I didn't even need to cook dinner. Slept during the day and hubby ended up cooking up dinner. How bliss:)
At midnight, started to think of the families I'm due to meet this week and the four on my blacklist. How I deal with it...is this way: I'm here to provide a service so quiet Sista! Whatever about their personalities and challenges. That's the beauty of dealing with people! Last year, it was a boss who was incredibly defensive and difficult. I tried to see the 'goodness' in her but she would throw it all back at me anyway. I've been dealing with forgiveness as I really felt outraged by her attitude....and no, I was not alone in this. Many other colleagues of mine had felt the same way (and worse) about that woman. Why do women bring in the majority of the problems...? The men are so much more relaxed. I can think of 5 mothers off the bat and 4 of them are divorcing. I say no more...
I'm starting to feel peckish but equally aware that I should be asleep. I'm up in 5 hours and here I am blogging...I see a snickers on the table and some Oatcakes. I could have cereal...hmmm.....I'm yawning now. Ok, the Oatcake won!:)
I've been enjoying my liquid vitamins Mineral Rich. My nails have never been so strong and I believe my hair is growing too! I also successfully rollerset my hair yesterday! Wish I left it in longer but that was trial one only:) Like where I'm going with all these trials. Thank you L-rd! Thank you...
Will be returning to my 80 MCQs per day study plan. Can't believe that March is around the corner. I was meant to be done with one question bank by now but for 2 weeks I crashed due to my huge workload. The fact that I don't have a boss at present and taking on most cases is real not cool, but anyway. Life goes on...Thank you, L-rd...

A new year & new circumstances...
Do you ever go through times when too much change is too much to bear?
I've come to a stage in my life where New Year resolutions don't work for me anymore. To me if your mind has not changed by Dec. 31st at 23:59, how different will it be at 00:00 on January 1st? I believe that one changes only once one's mind is changed. I believe this is the answer to several failed NYRs. Why do people keep doing them - out of tradition, maybe?
I felt quite lonely leaving my last work placement. I was there one year. Ironically, when there my friends were the ward staff as opposed to my colleagues. Guess that's to be expected these days. I miss many things. From the atmosphere to that Italian admirer who never stopped wanting to be noticed. That went on for one year. Nothing happened. I wouldn't let it go further. I'm glad though. It was a lost cause and tough to deal with at times. Told my husband and closest friends about this challenge. Prayed and left with nothing damaged. Just a sense of 'nostalgie.'

Oh babble away....
It sure has been a while since I last blogged. Most of the time, I'd say it's excuses. Other times, what can I say - I'm not used to writing a diary as I did as a child?! (sheepish grin) Blogs seem to be memoirs or daily babbles. Do you really want to hear of my very adventurous few weeks?!
I'm in love with my Hybrid bike. Yes, I love my husband - of course I do and so does he! He even tried to embarrass me on our grocery trek saying that I'd not made enough love to him in the last 3 days! This of course was when about 8 other people could hear his loud voice. Charming my love! My bike and I are getting to know each other better. I've learned the secret of those many male ego'd cyclists who have been trying to overtake me for the last few weeks - the gears! As a novice, I stuck to Gear 2-3. That didn't give me much speed and a friendly cyclist slowed down one day to hint that speed requires WAY higher gears! So yesterday, I decided to take my chances. Got my hubby to heighten my seat and I went to gears 3-6. The highest on my bike. AMAZING! I can't believe I never tasted this kind of sex before! No more pains in the thighs and oh! How awesome I felt! I can't believe that 7 weeks has passed and I stuck to painfully slow gearing...tsk! Women! So, as I've been cycling away, I've also discovered cycling accessories! Wow, can they become an new obsession or what. I bought these: http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/212883026.html
but they seem way cooler in the picture. I have placed one in my front wheel. It's ok. Nothing special! I'll probably sell the rest on ebay. Was also looking at helmets. I'd say the Snow Helmets are actually cuter. The cone shaped huge air vented helmets are simply weird in my opinion. It really is a look I will NOT be taking!
Anyway....I have to re-echo that I LOVE MY HYBRID!
Have been doing a bit of shopping over the last few weeks...received a new wide IV GHD styler and also a Huetiful steamer. The steamer is good but sometimes I ask myself is it really all that...? I've used it twice and can't see how it makes any difference to being under a hot dry hooded dryer with a cap and your conditioner or oil underneath. It is said that it increases the moisture retention abot 3-4 x more than a hooded dryers and also, I guess I can agree helps one skin. I'll keep trying but I find it's the products one uses and the way you dry your hair which results in the outcome of your hair. As a matter of fact, I am currently under my portable hooded dryer and have rollers and a net on. Hair feels smooth. The tip I used was from 'Hair Grow already.' I used a water based leave in spray than added a serum all over. Then parted in my hair into 3 sections making the middle look like a mohawk. From there I took about 1 inch sections sprayed some plain water and put a bit of serum on the hair. Even before going under the dryer and taking one roller down, I noticed a better and smoother curled hair. Praying that it will turn out right! YEAH! Another 13 mins left.
I've also found a new comedy love: Awkward Black girl on youtube by Issa Rae. I absolutely laugh my head off whenever I watch it! Has anyone else seen it? It's truly the bomb. I think this is one funny clip for anyone who wants to see it...Harlem Shake:#ABG http://www.youtube.com/issarae ttp://fb.me/1072RnzPf:... Season 1 Episode1 is accessible all the way to the Finale Season 2 part 1. The last episode is coming up on the 28th of February! Really looking forward to it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIVhKmuKLOM&list=PL5921C30B7EFC4D21
In relation to food...Food of course is very special in my life and that desire has led me to make a new Japanese cooking friend...Jpinsider.com. We've never met in person. I simply was looking for Japanese food to help with my weight. The Katsu chicken and Chives & scramble eggs are absolutely delicious and authentically Japanese. We've struck a good friendship and she's sharing food tips and ideas. Got to love it! If there is anyone who is good at Japanese cooking, drop me a line. I really love healthy ideas. I buy everything even if it has to be shipped!
Work is ok. However Child Psychiatry is not for me. We are literally coaching parents to be better because their kids are the outcome of their parenting on many occasions. I don't want to say 'bad' parenting because some moms and dads are products of their own circumstances. It's simply sad to see the number of vulnerable people walk into our offices and think we have the ultimate cure. It's truly sad. That's why the oldies are still for me. Can't see myself doing anything more or less. Hoping to do it once we move from Ireland. Really pray for an open door in the coming future. We are moving things along and truly I hope that it will come in the next two years. I still have 4 exams to complete and my hubby has 3. The months are flying I have to say but it's great to not be on call. Wondering where I am next. Hoping a non-call related job!
Just has heated Russian dried sausage....my goodness too much MSG - will be going out in the trash tomorrow! Buerk!
