3 weeks on and I don't know if we are closer to getting out of here or not, opportunity knocked and then slammed the door in our faces, and then knocked again, I have actually cried over it all, so frustrating and really makes you wonder what goes on with the universe at times, still at least it has focused our thoughts to what we want to do and what the next destination must be able to offer as we're not about to jump from the frying pan into the fire as they say. It's been a crappy year but hopefully 2014 will be a bit brighter for us and I can get back to focusing on my health and diet, although I have to admit I have been far less stressed since I stopped fasting/dieting and it appears I actually eat less when I'm not thinking about what and when I can eat, my weight is stable and I can see I'd only have to make very minor adjustments to start losing, pretty much everything has been SW friendly to be honest except lunches which are usually small anyway and just soup or something easy. I don't think I realised just how deprived I have felt whilst fasting, but only since we moved here, right enough I had worked out some time ago that when you are already stressed out fasting sends me over the edge.
In the last couple of weeks it seems to have become mad living here, we've had friends: stopped by the police and had their wallet taken with all their money and credit cards, another one in a massive punch up in a mall car park, another friends mugged and badly injured when the taxi man trying to steal her handbag didn't realise it was cross body bag and dragged her along the pavement and fractured her skull, and I saw my first multiple roadside death incident with a few dead bodies just left out on the central reservation after a big accident on the road, not covered or anything and one minus a head. All in all you'd think I was making it up for unfortunately not, it's like living in a bad sci-fi movie where anarchy has set in on earth in the future.
Seriously hoping that 2014 begins on a more positive note for us and that changes are afoot.
