iBabble...

Hi beauts!  Just thought I'd write a post updating you on a couple of things...

Most of you know the problems I've had regarding my tummy and generally feeling under the weather of late.  Well, after numerous trips to various doctors and scans and tests I've had a diagnosis.  I have got gallstones and they've also found a cyst on my right ovary.

So I now await a surgery date for gallstone removal... I'm just genuinely gutted I'm having a health operation before the need for a plastic one.  I always thought my first surgery would be a boob job or a face lift of some sort.  Never mind...

The cyst bit they don't seem to be too concerned over; I've had a blood test and providing that's okay I'll have another scan in six months time and they just monitor it I think.  So fingers crossed that goes okay cos I don't think I could handle the stress.  I'm such a big wimp when it comes to Doctors and stuff... like I can't even go to an appointment on my own!  So far I've had my aunt, brother, Mam and boyfriend accompany me on different occasions!  I'm 28... at some point I'm gonna have to man up aren't I?!

So yeah that's it really... other than the niggles of pain I get I'm fairly well.  I get upset and agitated a bit because I'm unable to go to the gym; I feel tired a lot because I can't always get comfy in bed and that means I don't sleep good which means I nap when I finish work rather than going to the gym.  I'm the kind of person who needs to go to the gym too; it burns off my tension as I'm not always great at expresses feelings all of the time.  Plus the gym is my alone time; I can't even have a bath in peace in my house... there's always at least one dog who barges in trying to get my attention.  I also find I've not got the energy to do what I like to do, like cook and paint my nails and because of that I get really frustrated with myself and a bit down.  It's totally a mental thing... it's funny but because I've never really been an ill person... like I hardly get a cold, I've never realised how mentally exhausting being unwell is; it affects me that way more than physically for sure.

Anyway... enough of that talk... I hope you're all well and is anyone else getting super excited for Christmas like I am?  I even bought Christmas cards this week.  I usually make my own but I've decided I'm not going to this year; I'm gonna embrace being lazy and buy them instead!  I also now need to start work on a Christmas list... the first 10 items on it are all MAC lipsticks.  I definitely have a lipstick addiction at the mo!

What would be top on your Christmas list?  Like a one that is realistic??  Don't do what my brother does and requests a holiday to Fiji... he has ideas way above his station!!  Hehe...He can but wish... ;P

P.S in the pic above I'm wearing a M.A.C lipstick called Girl About Town; it was recommended to me by Katie at All That Glitters Silver and Kayleigh at Couture Girl and I LOVE it... who else has got this beauty?
