It was only AFTER that today that she then goes on to “so the quetiapine can cause an increase in appetite. Do you want to see a dietitian? But you know surgery can help reduce your appetite come back and I can give you a referral”
and
“so why are you on that again? because you shouldn’t be getting in under PBS unless you have Bipolar or Schitzophrenia. They audit you know”
Hmmm.
So after THAT I get my repeat contraceptive pill script (you know, after she can’t get a good blood pressure reading because I’m crying after she so tactfully suggests surgery and pops me on the scales. Yah, I know I’m overweight. And I know a lot is recent. So one step at a time. A dietitian would be a good idea, but geez. Bedside manner??)
Trying to navigate ‘the system’. Just waiting to be shut down again. Hating that I’m needing others to help me so much, but so grateful they are. Scared I’ll let them down.
It’s hard pushing to get help you need if you’re convinced that they’re just gonna say no when they find out who you really are.
Think my immune system has had it’s last laugh for the year. Viruses galore.
A free pair of glasses from Firmoo (just pay for postage! I got mine sans postage for a review which will come soon)

I have a fitness assessment at the gym this afternoon. SO not looking forward to getting on those scales, but needs to happen. Bring it!
Instead, I spent the day between the dining table and the balcony. Nerding away, blowing my nose repeatedly, and continuing to curse that my brain bounces against my skull as I cough and it hurts.
And I also watched some more Puberty Blues.
Yeah, a bit of a guilty pleasure, but it’s not the worst thing on tele at the moment. I think that honour is split between Big Brother and the X Factor.
At least.
And I love iview.
Now, I have to consider serious things, like salary packaging, HECS, tax free thresholds, and billing.
I’m not entirey sure how to interpret the message on the post. And my head hurts, and I keep coughing. Coughing fits that remind me of my need to do more kegel exercises and are stopping me eating too much, because coughing to the point of vomiting sucks. Oh and my eyes are goopy. Ew. [...]

From today, I’m starting with this Personal Wellness Diary that I was sent by Plus One Mums to assist with my good habits, with the #bloggestloser challenge. It’s got pages for sleep, movement, nutrition, goals, posture and more. Let’s see how I go! It’s fairly big, but fortunately I have a large bag for it [...]
About to head back to Sydney after a weekend up in Newcastle. A weekend spent with family and friends, eating, drinking… talking and laughing, sniffling away with this damn cold! Day 6 – The ever resourceful Liam, who now knows to drag things over so he can stand/climb on them to get to things. Day [...]
