About Being Strong

The Ideal

We were mucking around the pharmacy one day. We were all heading off to lunch pretty soon and while chatting along, getting our purses ready for a lunch out, I noticed someone left the ideal weight calculator on the screen.

Now this Ideal Weight Calculator is just one of the online clinical tools, along with the Glomerular Filtration Rate, Creatinine Clearance, Body Surface Area Calculator, used in the Pharmacy to figure out the right dose for a patient. I've seen this tool countless of times but because we were mindlessly chatting, it occurred to me to "hey, why don't I try to figure out my ideal body weight."

To start off this train of thought, I'm happy and contented with my current weight of 54 kilos. I'm done struggling with weight issues and fit well into a size 8. As long as I feel happy and healthy, that's all that matters.

But I had to play around with this tool and it told me my ideal weight should be 48 kilos!! Forty-bloody-eight kilos.

Seriously?! This has got me thinking now.

My Not-So-Organised Thoughts

I'm not a big television or movie fan. I'd rather spend my winter days curled up with book or be caught up in my latest project - be it redecorating my mini home office, organising my files or simply ironing out my schedule for the coming weeks. Don't ask me why we pay for almost $100 each month for pay TV that includes a premium movie package. Blame it on the husband I guess. Once in a while, however, a TV series catches my fancy and then I'm glued. The latest culprit is Fringe which revolves around a branch of the FBI that deals with the strange and paranormal phenomena happening. After cruising through two straight seasons, I'm now at a loss. What am I to do?? How am I now going to spend my free time without Fringe? The weather has been less than spectacular and coming home from work, I don't know what to do. Allow me this whinge as I'm not in the best of moods. There isn't a pending project that I can just go to and do. There's nothing interesting for me to do. And so I blog.

The funny thing is, I don't know what to blog about. I find myself having all these random blog ideas from time to time. Just a few days ago, I thought to blog about how amazing hugs are. I find it very fascinating how a hug, or a physical touch for that matter make such a difference in mood. My personal preference is a cuddle aka one long hug lasting a minimum of five minutes usually in front of the TV.

I had also thought about blogging recent personal victories.

What about recent dramas unfolding? Yes, inclusive of my own dramas and friends' dramas.

But really, I haven't explored all these thoughts and have now left me rambling. Oh well. Maybe next time, a less confound blog entry, yes?
