Curious Incidents of a Flailing Mermaid

(non) Healthy New Year

30DBC - 4th Jan - Prompt: Many people like to use the start of a new year as the springboard for making healthy changes in their diets. If you're one of those people, what's your go-to healthy snack...something simple, or something a little different? Feel free to include a recipe, or just offer encouragement for anyone trying out a healthier lifestyle.

Gahh - I really wanted to catch up yesterday. That was the plan - I was going to write all the blog entries and make all the necessary comments on other blogs. Oh I ought to say - Never done 30DBC with me before? I do it to win... especially when I'm off work while it's on. Apart from last time - I only lasted three days.
I'm not saying I will win. Probably not since I'm three days behind. But, people, I bring my Invalid Photo #1036651 game to (almost) every post.
Anyway, yesterday I slept for 18 out of 24 hours. For the other 6 hours... Well, lets just say a bucket was my friend! I don't know why, but I wasn't well. I thought it may the pain/anti spasm drugs I'm on. But given that I'm hard core when it comes to these, I very much doubted it. I've now worked out that it is the fucking blood thinning injections they are forcing me to have every day for the next six weeks. SIX WEEKS! Ugh do fuck off. I was right - I looked up the side effects. And, yes, the evil little spikey things are not only making my stomach look like a multi-colour pin cushion, but they are making me feel ill. I don't even know why I need the bastarding things.

So, yeah... New Year = Healthy springboard?

NOPE

In fact, I'm lying on the corner of my new sofa (I love my new sofa!) and on the rest of the sofa can by found two tubes of Pringles, a packet of McCoy's crisps, a bottle of full fat coke and a giant tub of Jelly Babies. To be fair, I will probably only drink the Coke, the rest will probably just be put away. Chris has just bought it all for me to replace the ones I bought but were eaten by him, my mum and best friend while I was sleeping off my surgery. Rude little food scavengers.

Hmm, that's not healthy either.

Ooo ooo ooo I know. I've just bought new electric cigarettes. I've bought several different ones in the past, but these ones seem to be the best to use so far. This might not be anything to do with food or 100% healthy (since they contain nicotine) BUT I will use them... I'm excited to use them... SO this is as healthy as it gets right now in my little world. *ahem* all I need to do is "get rid" of the 60 real cigarettes I have left!

Well, it's 4:50pm and I am still awake! Next post coming up...
