A little jooshy makeover for me!

So I decided it was time for a change and needed to have a makeover. Luckily my excellent friend and best hairdresser in the world who not only cuts amazingly but is the best colourist this side of the ocean, did my hair makeover for me! Michelle works at the Rose Street Zappa's and she is lovely to boot. Here are some piccies of me before and after:

 I am really pleased and think it looks gaewwwgeous! Thanks Michelle!

Yet another Neuropsychologist appointment

My blog was down for a while so I have not been able to update about the latest on the medical front. Last month I went to see another neuropsychologist, this time in Oxford for a proper brain screening of sorts. I wanted to find out if there had been any damage done to my brain either by having meningitus after my surgery or from the surgery itself. It was a four hour appointment; first I met the psychologist and we discussed my medical history and then how I felt I was functioning on a daily or even overall basis. To me I feel like sometimes I am losing the plot because I can't concentrate, I get my words tangled up and I forget things. So I was then put through a series of tests; things like I would be told a story and I had to try and remember as much as possible and relay it back, repeating back series of numbers both forwards and backwards and pattern puzzles. It was actually really interesting. The result was that I am in fact still reasonably intelligent and performed well in my tasks and notably neatly! Some were even excellent. (Major surprise to me!) It is apparent however that because I get very tired, my brain can only perform at half speed during those times. Conclusion: I am a genius 50 % of the time and a tard the other 50%! Ha ha ha!

Craft Fair, Weyhill, Andover

So, I took part in a craft fair last Sunday.... in the work up to the date I felt myself getting nervous with the anticipation of putting my work out there into the public view, it was good getting creative and productive again and I enjoyed the feeling. So I make the arrangements with my friend B to get there as she has a stall too, and also to have some company on route so the fear of driving somewhere new doesn't get to me too much! We arrive on the Sunday morning nice and early without any hitches and set up stalls. I felt kind of excited and proud of my work. However the excitment wasn't going to last, unfortunately the day passed and only about 10 people came through the door! Otherwise it was just the stall members and their friends who popped in to say hello to them! I did however make one sale, with thanks to my good friend RB. So all was not lost. I was a bit sad though because the idea had been to also raise money for Ostomy Lifestyle and I don't think too much was made in that respect either. I think perhaps the venue was too out of the way for people and craft fairs need to be held in places convenient to the public otherwise they won't come.... oh well, I enjoyed the day and catching up with friends so I can't complain. Here is a piccie of me by my stall:

 

In need of some joooshing.....

I'm a bit bored at the moment. I need a little joosh.... I am thinking of changing my hair, It's time for some more blonde. Sometimes, you just don't want to be the same as everyone else, and a change of hair can give you a big boost. Also, if you can't afford to update your wardrobe, just changing your hair can make your clothes look different. However, I doubt that will mean I will stop shopping, after all I am a girl! Watch this space...... I will put before and after piccies up.....
