So on to what i went to the rheumatologist primarily for. I've had a clicky wrist for 8 yrs ever since i had a small workplace accident. every winter my right wrist gets a fairly constant pain in it. It got so bad a month ago I finally decided to go see the rheumatologist. As my GP had thought and the rheumatologist confirmed, it is likely to be TFCC(Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex). Simply a tear in that area that may need surgery. I will be getting an MRI in the next few weeks. I don't want surgery but I certainly don't want it to get any worse.

TFCC and 'bendy'
I always thought I had slightly flexible joints, but never thought I was bendy. I saw a rheumatologist today for a wrist problem this arvo and i figured i may as ask about my 'funny' hips as well. You see my hips have issues at the most inopportune passionate moments. Turns out i have 'Benign Joint Hypermobility' ie. I'm very bendy. lol. My husband should be so pleased. ;) No issue apart from my hips getting 'stuck' every so often. It is inherited so 2 in 3 kids i have would have it. Makes for good piano players apparently.

What is this stain?

HELP!! What could this mark possibly be from. It is a recurring stain that I have got on atleast 4 shirts now, so it must be from something i am constantly around. I haven't managed to remove this mark either so its getting to be rather frustrating. I think door handles are at the right height but the ones i've tested have too small a circumference. It is always in the exact same spot. Someone please help me.

Exercise at home
Part of my mission is to become a healthier fitter person. I was going to a gym but realised the other day that including transport and creche it was costing me about $150 a month. woah!!!!. So at home now I have a weight bench we got cheap off ebay and i've just discovered some workout videos on youtube. Easy stuff you can do at home. though i had to tone it down for some due to my dodgy hip. apparently most mothers have atleast one funny hip. So here is the link to the channel on Youtube:

Very improbable - a background
When you come from a home that is disorganised, cluttered, and often putrid, it can take a long time to shake that mess away. I was never the domestic type, I could cook, I could sort of iron, wash and fold clothes but I was always messy. I mean when everyone else in the house leaves mess it seems really pointless as a child and then teenager to pick up after yourself. There was little equity with chores in our household, so I was always felt it wasn't fair, wasn't fair that we kids were told to do everything. So it(chores) never felt like something you just do as part of a household, it was something we were made to do. I just don't feel like we were given the right basis for looking after ourselves and our future households. So I am in the process of breaking old habits and becoming an effective domestic engineer(housewife). I've come along way and I'd like to share some things here.
