Yeah, I hear you about the surgery. Big, big decision with lots of unknowns in the mix. Fortunately I don't think I'll ever have to make that decision, since I seem to be at my forever weight and don't have any loose skin to contend with . 90kg and I seem to be bosom buddies! I also have to wonder if, at almost 49, it's just stupid to try to get to a body I haven't had for over 20 years. Dunno.

Are there any good outlet shops in Melbourne for Reubenesque women?

Sounds like me and 86kg, my body just likes it here. Personally I'd like to get down to 80kg but I'm past torturing myself to lose weight, I am mostly happy with how I look and feel here (still have an enormous arse and thighs, but hey...) and I can eat whatever I like without my weight changing, so I'm slowly trying to talk myself into acceptance that this is my happy place.

I would imagine that there are some awesome outlet stores for curvy girls, but I'm afraid I don't know of any.

Thanks lovely peeps!!

I have to say, life is pretty damn good right now. I feel fantastic, my job is great and I'm $500 richer today.

I had my first list on my own at work on Thursday, this means that I was the anaesthetic nurse responsible for the patients in that OR for that day. Apparently this is not common after only 2 1/2 weeks of training but according to my boss I'm "shining!" So I've been fast-tracked. I really enjoyed having the autonomy and responsibility and getting to start to create my own routine. It's great being put with lots of different people when training as you get to see many different ways of doing things and you can decide what you like and what you don't, I have to admit though that I was getting a little tired of it towards the end and was kinda champing at the bit to get out from under and do it myself. The responsibility is pretty huge, especially when you get a difficult intubation, but without being given the challenge, you can't rise to it, right?
They are also really understanding of my family commitments and have organised my roster around my childcare which is really awesome. The nurses reading know that our job is often not the most family friendly despite being mostly done by women, so to find an understanding and accomodating workplace is a real boon.

I am a little hungover this morning, I had one (alright three) too many mezcals last night to celebrate my prizes and consequently I'm a little slow to get going this morning. I don't feel too bad though fortunately.

I'm taking the kids to see The Muppets at the cinema today and then we're going out for lunch. I can't wait, I always loved The Muppets.
