I also discovered that I no longer fit into Kat's kit. The corset laced up fully and was loose. This means that I have lost somewhere in the region of 2" I reckon. :D So in order to get sufficient cleavage there was another corset put on under it.

The bad news then (ah come on you knew there had to be some). I was in a car crash on the night before halloween. Car is not written off thankfully. She is fairly damamged though. Still waiting to hear from insurance compaines about it. Getting a bit frustrated now with it. I have some whiplash, seems minor enough but was exacerbated by testing in clinic on friday night. Seems to have settled down again now though. Yesterday I managed to go over on my left ankle, while trying to stop myself falling I've done something to my right knee (the "bad" one). As a result I am now in quite a bit of pain. The knee seemed to bend inwards so I'm not sure what I've done yet. I will be getting it checked. I am also back in Bord Gáis for 2 weeks. Not happy but there you go.

- college is going okay. Lots and lots of work though
- clinic placement with college is good. Learning lots.
- my clinic is starting. Had one bloke 2 weeks running and he seems keen to come back for more. Need to make up a poster for Alan
- had a car accident on Friday night. Looking like whiplash
- insurance forms are confusing.
- gym is not going so well and this looks like the accident is going to be another setback.
- need to get back on top of the diet

Other than this life is it's normal boring self.

Just got my clinic dates. Kinda fucks up my plans for going to Plymouth but I hadn't booked flights yet so it's not too big a problem. Means I will have to fly to Plymouth or Exceter rather than to London first though.

I got business cards made up and am hoping to get my insurance sorted out next week. Trying to become professional. I should be starting to work every Monday night out in Kilcoole. Hopefully that will go okay. A bit nervous about it all.

Work is fine but am seriously considering what my options are in order to give me more study time. I think a lot of it is going to depend on how busy I find myself with doing massages.

Fingers crossed that it will work.

I'm thinking of trying to do one a month when I am on a weekend off college. If anyone has suggestions of places to go (preferably within about 3hrs driving from Dublin) I'd love to hear them.

If anyone would like to join us on these excursions you'd be more than welcome.

Have managed to stick to this detox diet for 4 days. Think this is possibly the longest that I've ever stuck to a diet, especially one this strict. Went shopping on Saturday and I don't think I've ever bought so much fruit and veg in my life. I'm trying to be adventurous in what I'm eating so I don't get bored. Cooked a chickpea curry and made some hummus yesterday. Think I'm also starting to get used to the diet but have been quite tired.

I also managed to finish the dress I was working on with only a week and a bit til the wedding. Kinda surprised by the fact that it's really not cleavagy (don't even think that's a word) at all, but I don't need to show off my cleavage all the time do I? Adding in sections to the sleeves and the chest worked well but it's still a bit tight at the sleeves, think this is to do with the fact that I have quite broad shoulders.

When I put the dress on I did feel pretty though so think I've chosen the right dress.

Bit peeved with the fact that I had problems in the gym with my knee hurting a lot. Got through most of the exercises that the PT wanted from me. They're tough but it'll be worth it in the end. Have my second session with him tonight and am dreading it slightly as he will push me hard. Maybe that's what I need though.

Gym seems to be going okay and I'm currently debating about shelling out a bit extra and hiring a personal trainer just so that I can get a good injury rehab program going. With going back to work I'm finding that I just don't have the inclination to go into the pool afterwards though. I'm getting to the gym about 6 and finished my workout a bit after 7 so then just want to go home. Ah well I'm still doing more than I was before.

This Saturday is the final day of college. A group presentation. Should go ok, as long as we don't completely fluff it up. Then all I've got left are my repeat practicals on the 25th and I'm finished for the year. WOOT.

Matt's sister gave birth to a healthy baby girl yesterday. So we now have 3 nieces. Hopefully will get down to see them all this weekend.

Work is still going fine. It's funny how quickly you settle back into the old routines.

Was trying to make a dress for me to wear to a wedding however when I went to try on the sleeves after tacking them I realised that my upper arms are big and don't fit into the sleeves. Think it's a combo of building up extra muscle and not having lost the fat from them yet. I was thinking of adding in a triangle of the fabric inside the seam and widening the armhole to match. Think I need about an extra inch. Does this sound workable or a bit crazy?

So far no bitching about the job. We'll just have to see how long that lasts. It does mean that I'll be on-line a lot more again.
