Well the doctors wasn't bad, high cholestrol and liver marginally not quite right. Eat healthily and go back in six months for the cholestrol. Go back in six weeks for the liver, see if anything has changed; in the meantime, take Ibuprofen rather than Paracetamol for headaches. So, not much there really.
Elsewhere, not much happening, which befits a blog announcing nothing at all. Blah.

It all goes up in smoke...
Okay, one more... so, over the last few weeks I've been smoking cigars (only little ones, like the length of a cigarette) left right and centre. It started with buying a tin with the intention of having one 'when I get a job', then it was because I had an interview, a hard day, it's the weekend, i'm leaving my old job, i've started my new one, any reason really. ME and Erika have had arguments over it with her saying I'll get addicted to smoking again and me (quite wrongly) claiming that that wasn't going to happen. Yet it is, and I've ben having that every day. So the remainder of the tin went into the bin tonight, when Erika gets in I'll have to tell she was right, and that'll be the end of my smoking (well, until there's something to celebrate...) ha! Really, no, I just like smoking too much, it's just not going to work. Pah.
So, who didn't drink to my good health? Bastard!
Right, second blog, subject - health. I get a lot of headaches and have looked into lots of different ways of preventing them without any real success. So my doctor asked me to do a blood test, which I did. He phoned the other week to say that my results showed high cholestrol and also he wasn't sure my liver was functioning fully, so he wanted me to do a second blood test. I did this last Thursday and the results should be in this Thursday.
SO, I've since found out that my Ma has high cholestrol, and has taken tablets for it since she was in her early thirties (she's 50 now). I noticed today on a packet of tablets (paracetamol) that it warned "Consult your doctor if you have sever kidney or liver disease" which I don't (as far as I know!) but got me thinking that perhaps my liver isn't functioning properly because of all the pills I take for my headaches - but we'll see what the doctor says, I think that's likely though as I've been taking them several times a week for YEARS. So if it is that, I'm sure it can be resolved.
Finally, my Ma said that when she was taking these tablets (I may be confused as she's also had problems with headaches / migraines and stomach) that she had low levels of serotonin so was given tablets to boost that for a few years. Serotonin eh, now that rings a bell...

Good job? You can bet on it!
Okay, start things off on a positive note! So it's now over a week since I started my new job, and so far it's been great, I'm very happy to report!
The people are friendly, yet from the start I've been shown how to do the job and not having to be all social too much, I didn't even get introduced to everyone! So that was good, I got introduced to the other members of our team (of 5), and have been saying hello to other people as and when I see them, in the kitchen or whatever.
So the bloke that's been training me has been really good, he's very good at explaining things and is patient and upbeat - so far I haven't come across any bitching which is good.
As for the job itself, I couldn't really ask for more. I've been setting up sports fixtures on the computer as betting events, and inputting sports results. There's about 18 small tv's with odds on, mainly horses and greyhounds, plus other sports. Three big screens with tv on them, one dedictaed to horses and dogs, the others showing sports news and whatever event happens to be on - football highlights, tennis, cricket, golf, whatever. The office is adult and laid back, no stupid patronising rules or people yet. The kitchen is huge, they provide you with milk, tea, coffee (make your own of course) plus there's a microwave, a dishwasher and even a cooker!
So after seven days in, I'm thoroughly enjoying it and am enjoying actually going to work and looking forward to it, it's a long time since that happened. So, hurrah!
