So what am i supposed to say now...?

well, i guess i should start with how i am feeling now. i am sick this weekend. i came down with a head cold on thursday, then i went to see my gp (which prompted me to start this blog) and i am going through a rapid change of meds. i was on effexor, max daily dose, and i was told to stop immediately, let that wash out of my system, and start my new meds on monday, which is valsartan. so there can be side effects to just stopping an anti-depressant like that. then i get my period yesterday, so its fair to say i feel like shit currently. i can’t breath, feel like someone is sitting on my chest and my head is woozy. but i am up and out of bed so thats good. i am not showered or dressed, but thats normal for me - its sunday.

so what changes do i want to make to my life?

i want to make my life more active - i work and then i get home and do fuck all. i want to actually participate in my home and family. like do stuff with my daughter and take care of the house and my family more than i do now

i want to eat healthier and exercise, its good for me mind and body, and if i lose weight it will give me one less thing to beat myself up over

i want to get back to hobbies i used to love - i used to be a bookworm, i used to like to bake regularly, haven’t read or baked in forever. i am a larper but larp lost its appeal recently. which sucks as i have an event in a week and i can’t not go.

so i guess the first thing is i need to make an effort at the next event to really participate, get involved and do stuff. not just be there for the social aspects and only get minimally involved in the rest.

plus if i get back to cooking as the first thing i do to get involved in house/family life there is a far better chance of us eating healthy than if it is left to DH who really puts in minimal effort to it most days, so the food isn’t particularly healthy most of the time. plus if i make lunches for work in advance it will save money.  money is something which worries me a lot.

ok, i think i have figured out where to start.

now i need to rest, my head is so woozy its crazy

Went to visit Sabina today on my way back to #KTM, got her few cloths, stationary, creative books and other essentials. Hopefully she will utilise this little assist in a positive way. Thanks to my bhaini @iamcvane for all the help and support! #unitenepal #childlabor #needtomakechanges (at Ramailo Danda)

Met this little angel on my way to #Pokhara at the services , her name is Sabina and she is probably the most cutest waitress in the world. However, at the same time I was deeply sadden to see her living away from her family and working in a resturant trying to make some money. I hope, on my way back, to get some essentials besides money that could perhaps educate and help her to make a sustainable future #unitenepal #childlabor #needtomakechanges (at Ramailo Danda)

Second Attempt

Materials used in second attempt: plastic pop bottle, hot glue gun, empty energy drink box, headphones, scissors

Benefits: all materials that were used can be found around the house

Money Spent: $0!!!!!

Where it went wrong: The speakers did work, but only to a certain extent. The sound that it produced was slightly louder, but the quality of the sound was not ideal. It seemed to give a muffled sound, and that is not something you want to hear.It's hard to say what exactly is the problem, but it could be the plastic bottle. We seemed to run into this problem with our previous attempt. Maybe we should find a different material! 

Sound: The sound is loud enough for it to be considered an "effective" speaker, but the quality was a downer.

Song used for testing: Country Girl (Shake It For Me) by Luke Bryan
