Yes, I missed a day (oh well, I never really could stick to anything). But I am encouraged by the fact that I did not want to turn my computer on last evening – this is a rare thing indeed and there should be more of it!

This morning sees me starving and in desperate need of coffee, but I’m scheduled for a blood test at 9am and so nothing but water until then. We’re trying to see if there is a cause for my excessive weight gain (8kg in 12 months and increasing) other than being on the pill. I’m absolutely certain it is the pill and alternate means will be discussed with the expert tomorrow. I’ll be just damned happy to fit into my clothes again.
