Approaching 40...

 

At the start of the year - I thought this is the year I'll be 40 and it didn't bother me, or so I thought...

Intinally I thought big party - yay!! But then I started to to think, I started to take stock of where I was (metaphorically) and actually I wasn't as happy I thought and...in different ways than I'd ever have expected.

There fore in the last month I have topped up my Botox, filled in the (smokers - that's the actual known name whether you smoked or not - dad!) lines and in 2 days time I get my hair highlighted and in 4 days get new (actually some) boobs. So for someone who thought they were pretty much ok with their lot when I sat and took the time to think - actaully I wasn't quite so.

I have also had another tattoo (and planning a new one to be unveiled in the summer), thought about my 'professional' future, made new friends, startd to draw again but mostly and rather selfishly I've done stuff for myself (which isn't a bad thing, it's not really selfish and sometimes it's just what we need to do).

The Tattoo...

The tattoo is done.

After a drama over child care, broken boilers, leaky extensions and a case of nerves (mixed in with a huge case of excitement!).

It took an hour, after the initial sensation I zoned off to into what can only be described as a very relaxing experience...

Lets be honest, I had an hour without dogs barking, kids screaming, people asking questions, alarms beeping, boilers failing... A mild scratching sensation and my own thoughts was actually very peaceful.

And finally - am I happy with the end result - beyond! I love it!
