Does the body rule the mind? Or does the mind rule the body?

Asthma sucks! The air quality's been really bad with the humidity the last few days and yesterday it ended up triggering my asthma. ): Spent a whole afternoon in A&E having nebulizers, an IV with steroids and a chest x-ray.


Luckily it seems like a fluke so I'm just on oral steroids for a week and have to get a  check up with my GP, which I needed to do anyways. So now my lungs are working again I'm stuck with the aftereffects. The IV always stops me sleeping cos it rises my pulse to over 100 for 8-12 hours so I've hardly slept. And this means my vertigo is really bad, so I'm feeling pretty rough today and have resorted to crawling around most the time. Just having a day in bed, reading my book and the such. I wanted to do some studying but I'll have to try tomorrow after my hospital visit for my eyes. One day I will be healthy!



I did cook some yummy soup on Friday: spicy red lentil and carrot. Basically I chopped up potatoes, carrots, some left over mushrooms and an onion and added them to boiling water with red lentils, spices, herbs and a vegetable stock. Left to simmer for just under an hour and then blended with a handblender. Served and added a sprinkle of watercress for a garnish. Came to just under 400 calories with some multi-seed wholemeal bread. Was so so easy and yummy, I should make soups more often cos they're so simple, filling and healthy. So any creative soup recipes give me a hands up! I want to cook one using soya beans next as they're great for protein. :)

Also, I'm selling stuff on eBay, including these 7 pairs of shoes (sizes 5-6).


Please, buy them, they're an absolute bargin from what I paid for them and most of them I've only worn once or twice! I need money for my flights to see Jonathan and some new winter boots. So every little really really helps! <3


Sorry not much of an update, wearing my new dress from the charity shop tomorrow so there'll be a update with that. Hope everyone's having a good weekend! :)
