SMEAR FEAR: When Pain (And The Fear of It) Stops You From Having A Smear Test

October 28, 2018

Cervical screening — or smear testing — is one of life’s necessary evils that leaves us feeling awkward, embarrassed and a little bit “ick”, and yet it’s potentially life saving because cancer doesn’t discriminate. But if your vagina is a no-go area, the pap test […]

Had a faaaab birthday today.  Tea and cake at the Aske stables Mocha which was lovely.  Opened some wonderful presents. (Got new Timberlands and surprised with an engraver.) Said hi to a few cows and a camel, and rounded up the day with a big fat Chinese takeaway with the family.  Feeling very stuffed, content and not even a bit older! 😆

Someone was happy about “skiving” today. 😝 His class was off school because of the teacher strike so a visit to Grandma’s it was! (And a ‘spoons lunch.  Grandma doesn’t live in Wetherspoons. 🤣)

Once Christmas is over, retailers move onto the next big thing - Easter.  Which means it’s a dangerous place for a “rabbity” sort of person like me because everywhere you look you see rabbits (or hares which work for me too). Forgot I saw this in TK Maxx last week.  I was very good and resisted buying it so the next best thing was a “look what I found” selfie.  Honestly, life with me is just full of surprises! 😆😂

The question here is not why am I taking selfies in the church toilets again, but why does my green top look brown? 🧐 

Had a fantastic morning singing on worship again.  You can’t beat that release of giving it all to God, He who is worthy of everything.
