This was the usual sort of week, but with one small difference. I had to go back to the hospital to get my eyes checked again as well as take a test I had failed the last time I was there. It took a while, but the doctor has, for now, ruled out any glaucoma. I was quite happy when I heard the news as this disease has no known cure at this moment. But I will still have to go back for a check-up after around 18 months just to check out my eyes, which can get ruined due to diabetes!

I have been walking a lot for the past few weeks, averaging around 10 km per day. This took a toll on my right ankle and it had been painful on and off for some time now. By Thursday, it was so painful that I could not even walk. So I had to see the doctor who gave me some painkillers and a gel to put in the affected area. The pain went away within a day, but I decided to keep my feet up for the next few days to ensure it is completely cured. So from today, I am back to my regular exercise programming!

That’s all from this week folks! Hope this week will be better than the last one (I keep writing this and hoping week after week, but to no avail)!

Have a wonderful week people!

This was quite an interesting week for me. The week started as usual and since the children were at home because of their term break, it was controlled chaos at it’s best!

Mid-week, I got a couple of calls from recruiters for positions they had advertised online. In one case, I had to go and see their client with just about 2 hours notice! I also got a message through LinkedIn from someone in HR from a big multinational company for quite a senior position. Initially, I thought this was an elaborate prank, though why would someone prank me like this, I wondered. I did respond to that person and have sent them my resume, though I do not hold any hope there!

I also met up with a career coach and they critiqued my resume which made it better. The coach will also work with me for the next few months so hopefully, all these efforts will make a difference and soon.

GG and I went to see Beauty and the Beast yesterday and it was fun doing a mum and daughter time. BB was not really interested, so he stayed home with S. We really enjoyed the movie and since both like Emma Watson, it was a fun day.

This was my week, hope next week is better than this one! Have a wonderful week folks!

Nothing really to update this week. It was the usual week and I can’t think of anything that really stood out for me.

I’ve been eating well as well as walking a lot, as much as 2 hours daily, over the day and consistently blowing my daily step targets out of the water! I hope this translates soon into not only some serious weight loss but also a significant improvement in my HbA1C numbers. We will know that only over time!

A cousin of mine announced her third pregnancy on our Whatsapp group and this was a surprise to all of us. She said it was not planned, but all of them are happy with this news. The kids, of course, are ecstatic and the moment I mentioned it to BB & GG, each said they hoped it was the same sex as them as they wanted to play with the new baby! I’m glad for her and her husband!

That’s all from my side now. This week is a school term break week so the kids will be home most days, let’s see if I can do some stuff with them. There’s a museum I want to explore with them, so I am hoping we can go there sometime this week.

Have a great week!
