10 Days to go…..

 

This is the track we will be travelling on….it’s out in the Desert. If you’re interested just google The Anne Beadell Highway. A very popular track here in Australia. 10 days and we will be on the road heading to Laverton and ready to start the trek. 

In the mail today I received the last of the permits needed to travel the trek. A lot of the country is indigenous land so permission is required. I am starting to get excited. Most of the vehicle is ready. Most of the food has been bought, some meals have been pre-prepared but I still have a bit more to get, though not much. 

First aide kit has been stocked, spare batteries and cords have been bought and packed. I’m going to check this week and see if I can get the dsl camera in to be serviced and cleaned, doesn’t matter if I can’t but it does need it. 

What else. I’ve dragged the clothes bags out and started packing clothes. Packed a couple of books too. Hoping to get a new release from one of my favourite authors too. 

Got another visit with my dentist tomorrow. I’ve got top dentures and finally after 7 years of wearing ones that I have never been happy with I’m getting a new ones made. This lovely lady dentist is a perfectionist and I couldn’t be happier with her and what she has been doing for me.  The care that she has shown is superior to where I went last time. I hope to go away with new teeth and be confident with my smile and my speech. Yes, this set is so ill made that I have trouble getting my tongue and teeth around some words. It was quite embarrassing sometimes. 

This week I have had a lot of running around to do finalising bits and pieces. Haircuts was one of them. The same will be on this week too as I have appointments to get too…..plus William has his Interschool sports day happening as well. 

Right….to finish off I had a weight loss of 600g. I’ve worked for it too, I’ve tracked and planned everything. I had a few days with a nasty flu. The sore throat and the coughing was the pits but thankfully it didn’t linger all week. Still a bit lethargic though.  Learning that to get results I have to work for them. Listen to my body, fuel my body and hopefully I’ll see the results on the scale. And with new teeth maybe more confidence in myself (no covering my mouth with my hand) and liking the look of myself I will love me more. I’ll let you know after my holiday.
