Spnak

I am sure I have posted using that title before but the start of 24 each January is a big deal in the spnak household. This year Mummy Spnak is watching and it was almost as much fun watching her reaction to what Jack goes through. She saw a few eps last season but this year she has gotten into the spirit and has been avoiding spoilers of the show and was counting down the time to day one.

There is so much happening in the first two episodes that it was at times a little hard to keep up, not a complaint I might add. Some highlights include: (mouse over to reveal possible spoilers)

Wayne Palmer as President
The homage to the lost boys with Jack ripping the jugular out of the guys neck with his teeth
The full on brutality of the terrorists… there is no namby pamby lead up to the action it’s straight in there bam with trains nearly blowing up and teenagers shooting neighbours. Excellent stuff

If your not hooked already give it a try. You’ll thank me in the end.

It’s been a while since I wrote anythning for here. It’s not for the lack of trying, honestly. This blog has never been far from my mind and whenever there has been something to post the motivation to post it was never there. I put that down to my medication that at times saps my will to live, but there is no changing that so no use whining about it.

So an update on me….

I no longer drink caffine or use sugar in anything I eat or drink
I have lost over 14pounds in just over three months (won’t know for sure until i get weighed again)
I eat a lot healthier (very little chocolate and fatty foods)

What changed?……. I was diagnosed as being Diabetic.

I couldn’t possibly type what I thought when I was told this earth shattering news but once the news sunk in and I digested the fact that this was a life changing issue (more so than my bi polar in many ways), I became fine with it. You won’t hear me bemoan my lot as being diabetic (OK maybe when there is Chocolate cake on offer you may hear a little grumble).

I would rather i didn’t have it, but I am feeling so much better in myself now that I have HAD to make the changes in my life just so that I can survive and not end up in hospital after going into sugar shock.

I will be posting more often now that I have taken that leap again into posting.

Until Next Time…
