Missing In Action

I have been MIA...My nephew had his birthday party on 23 April and I got badly sunburnt/windburnt. I was not a well person for about 72 hours and now I am shedding a few layers of skin...boy the aussie sun is a killer and I had the cream etc on and was in the shade but was not wearing appropriate clothing and that was that.....

Not much happening in my life - it is very boring and predictable and needs to change, but I have no idea where to start. I am really finding it hard to go out and meet new people, I just have no idea how to go about it in a country town. I was asking a few people at work and they looked at me like I had grown horns so I don't know how things are going to work out here and how to overcome my shyness and get a boost in self confidence.....

I though that losing weight would help and so far have lost just over 30kgs (I have put a ticker thing at the bottom of this blog to keep track - more of a thing to keep me motivated) but that hasn't boosted my self confidence at all, just means I have to keep going out to buy new clothes :-)

I don't know, may be coming up here was not the best idea I have ever had.
