Flat Irons are for.....

YOUR HAIR! That's on your Head!  Seriously?  Well, you would think everyone would know that, right? Well the joke is on me....or is me, I don't know which! It seems using the flatiron when I don't have my glasses on is hazardous to things on my head; such as ears. Ears?  Yes, ears!  It seems I grabbed a bit of my ear when straightening the side of my hair - now I have have a 1/2 of a square in bright red on my ear. And it hurts!  God, you would think I could do this without injuring myself. LOL, guess not!  But, I used a creame that my wonderful "witchy sister" makes from herbs - and it has not only healed the nasty looking burn wound, but there is no scar, either!  This has worked before - got into a scrap with some winged beings, nasty scratch on my face. Used her herbal creame and viola! Healed with no scar!  I love it!

Anyways, have been quite busy at work, haven't blogged in a while, I have even been taking notes on things I want to write about - economy, stupid people, smart people, governments, causes, etc....so, guess I better get my butt in gear and just do it!

Later, kiddies - but sooner, I hope!  Hugs

I'm still here....

Well, I am still here and in a much better frame of mind. The doctor's appointment  was regarding my blood test - it turns out that my triglycerides and glucose readings are extremely high - triglycerides up to 200 - which is not good - opening the door for Diabetes. And they redid my pap smear - which turned out ok.

So - got on the ball and found lots of info about all this and found a really good site for a low glycemic diet. And it is actually working!  I have lost  several pounds and hopefully the numbers have gone down. - And I eat a whole lot of veggies and fruit - have changed my rice to busmati and have cut out sugars and lots of fat - so hopefully this will work better and maybe I can get off some of these meds.

I have a doc's appointment this morning - my usual 3 month check-in - and hopefully he will schedule a blood test to see how all this is going....
