Drain Free!

Thursday 80mls, Friday 80mls, Saturday 50 mls ... PULL IT!

Oh god it feels so wonderful to be a free woman again! LOL It didnt hurt, was pretty icky though - sat on the loo and held a facecloth against me while Dr Strattie (aka crazy Craig hillarious blog man) pulled it out. It came out easy peasy - was blocked too by the looks of things, I felt it unravelling inside ... weird arse sensation which I dont want to experience again in a hurry. I actually felt it on my left side which is the still really swollen side ... so hopefully now things might settle down to match the right side.

We went into town yesterday morning ... I went into the gym! and before you freak out ... NO I didnt do any exercise - I read magazines, drank coffee and gasbagged to the receptionist while Craig worked out LOL It was fun, must do it again some time *giggle*. We went and had breakfast, then went up to Leather Direct to look for motorcycle jackets. The womens ones were too small and the mens ones were too long ... bloody overseas sizes ... I tried on a womans 3XL and it still didnt fit! lol Went off to Wellington Motorcycles and found quite a nice jacket there and at a reasonable price, but it was very snug around the hips ... might go back in a couple of weeks after a bit more swelling has gone down and see if there is any difference.

Home again, drain out, lunch and then ... clothes dilema ... actually no it wasnt a dilema I have one pair of pants which fit me like a glove - they are perfect - they are the Ezibuy bengaline 3/4 fold down waistband pants - ideal as they are stretchy with no "waistband" as such. I also had a lovely maroon shirt with domes up the front. Both of these items I got from the Palmerston North Girls clothes swap - SO THANKS TEAM! Well I put these two items on ... along with a pair of knickers (over the top of my body suit) and I looked in the mirror and I just about cried. From pride. I am so slim! The realisation has hit. I have a super slim gorgeous figure and I just couldnt stop staring at myself. It was like when I first had my kitchen remodelled four years ago, I used to come home from work and just lean on the breakfast bar and look at how gorgeous my kitchen was - I'd stand there for an hour! LOL It took me about a month to get over that! LOL ... well thats how I felt about my body yesterday (and today), I just had to keep looking at myself. Its really blown me away, I also freaked Craig out. He kept checking out my arse all night and had this silly grin on his face *giggle* - I'm so ecstatically happy its really hard to find the words.

We had our families up here for my birthday dinner last night - they cooked. Craig did a hunk of sheep on the spit, the mums did the veges and dessert (chocolate brownie with icecream and strawberries *drool*) oh and I drank a bottle of red. All by myself. Didnt get pissed (it took me 5 hours) and I have no hangover ... it was a fantastic day.

So today, we are heading down to Ezibuy to get three more pairs of those pants - they fit so well and are so comfortable they will be perfect over the next few months while I'm healing. I'll get black, navy and denim (I think they do a jean colour) and we'll also pick up a couple of tops just to keep me going until my Ozzie sister arrives and it will be shopping for Africa - all on for young and old :D

Oh yeah and yesterday we popped into Farmers ... and where was the first place I went ... the big girls section ... picking up the 2XL's ... *rolls eyes*

some habits die hard!
