HAIR LOSS

 Well.

According to everything I've been told or read, hair loss can be down to many factors.

Stress - BIG TICK

Medications for :

Diabetes - TICK

Blood pressure - TICK

Cholesterol - TICK

Poor Diet - TICK

HEREDITORY - NOPE

Over dyeing - TICK

Pony Tail/Bun - TICK

It would appear I have almost ALL the factors that can contribute to hair loss!

So.  First and foremost I will be CHILLING THE HECK OUT as much as I can.  NO one is allowed to die or get VERY SICK again OK?

I will stop dyeing my hair for 6-12 months.

I will talk to my Doctor about the medications I am on, and if any of them could be contributing to my hair loss?

I will start taking dietary supplements that support healthy hair growth.  ( anyone know what?)

And that's about it.   I have already stopped wearing my hair in a pony tail (in the same spot on my head), and certainly not as tight.

Now, moving on.

ABOVE:  This is one of the fabrics I bought last night. The other two were just whites for runners.

ABOVE:   Yeah.

I suppose I should do the laundry.

It will free up me weekend for other things.

Sometime this morning Bex is coming around to help me get the cover off the pool.  Then I can bomb it with chlorine and scoop any leaves etc out of it.

It should be ready for swimming by Saturday.  Fingers crossed it's a nice fine, warm weekend.  It would be nice to get back into the pool.

I have yet to even sit in the driver's seat of our new car!

Because Stew uses a company car for the first half of the week, I am going to start using his car Mon/Tues/Wed.  That will be fun.  It's a lovely vehicle.   I might even give it a run tomorrow.  

Right, enough waffling, I might just lie here and read the news before starting my day.

Bex arrived bright and early this morning to help me get the pool cover off.

Which we did with no problems at all.

And the pool?

Look wonderful.

There's a bit of debris in it, but that will get removed in the next day or two.

I've dumped chlorine in, and the pump will be on all day.

I reckon it will be fit for swimming in tomorrow.

I've not mentioned this lately, but I'm having the WORST time with my lower back at the moment.

Back to really bad pain trying to get outta bed in the mornings.

This morning was THE WORST it's been in a couple of years.   I didn't think I'd ever get out of bed this morning, it was that bad.  But eventually I did, and immediately took a Tramadol.

Thank god for Tramadol.  I can now move without pain again.

I wish I knew why this happens, it's like so random.  Not all the time, just every now and then.  

Something else to ask the Doctor, when I eventually go see him. 😂😊

Just in via email:

ABOVE: Carpet Court Customer Survey!

I was like... oh hell no.  So I just referred whoever reads these things to 'E H', the Retail Operations Manager.

I'm hopefully never having to deal with CC again.

Now... I might just go and sort out my lunch.  It's kinda early, but I'm hungry.

5.50 pm:  Oh wow, I've not been on here for hours.  LOL

I was being utterly lazy, and just sitting on me arse most of the day.

Mid afternoon I headed into my sewing room and started making another Cat Runner.

And then...Griffin arrived to pick up his birthday present.

And... the poor boy had a really bad headache from working in the heat all day.

I gave him a couple of panadol and...

ABOVE: He fell asleep!  So I left him to it and only woke him up when Stew got home from work.

We are now going to have some dinner and then he's going home to bed.

9.54 pm:  Well dinner was a resounding ikkk.  Cold KFC.  I swear KFC Rototuna is the worst one I've ever been to.

Griffin didn't seem to mind, like most boys he'll eat just about anything.

It was lovely to spend time with him. 

Once he left we just chilled out and watched TV.

Catch ya tomorrow.
