Two good things have happened to me since I last wrote. Number 1, my pro makeup case came a day early and number 2, the person who runs the Cat's Protection blog liked the article that I wrote.
I submitted the article that I wrote to the Cat's Protection yesterday but I couldn't check my emails until this evening because I was just too chicken. I was really scared that I was going to get an email back from them saying that they did not like what I wrote but all that stress and worry was for nothing because they really liked it! Even though doing this guest post has caused me a good deal of stress and nervousness I am very glad that I did it because it has given me a much needed confidence boost when it comes to writing blog posts, I am not the thick person that people have told me that I am.
So as I said the pro makeup case that I ordered from amazon came a day early.
I wasn't exactly sure what the quality was going to be like as it is a good bit cheaper then the other makeup cases on the internet but I don't think you could actually get a better quality case. Now I just need to start building up my kit which is not going to be easy because building up a good kit is going to cost a quite a bit of money plus there is a lot of products that I want to test out on myself before I put it into my professional kit.

So I have been given the opportunity to write a guest blog post for one of my favourite charities, the Cat's Protection. For Blue Monday (January 19th) the Cat's Protection are doing posts on the health benefits of a cat and their purr. I have to admit I am very nervous but I am also very excited because it will be the very first guest blog post that I have ever written so I really, really, really hope they like it. When it comes to writing I am not exactly very confident (plus I am very bad at criticising myself) but that is all due to what happened when I was at High School. I was off school a lot after being diagnosed with Crohn's because a) I was sick and b) I was badly bullied because I was different and overweight due to being on steroids, so when at school I was treated as the waste of space kid. I was always having difficultly with writing and numbers but it was all due to me being dyslexic, actually the first time I ever heard of dyslexia was after I left school. Despite all these confidence issues I really do want to write this post because without the Cat's Protection I would have never got my little bug Snowball, she is one of the best things to ever happen in my life.
Today I also took the plunge and decided to buy myself a makeup artist case. This is the year that I have decided to put makeup work out there. I am not sure how easy it will be to become a freelance makeup artist because I don't have any certificates and in this day and age everybody needs to have qualifications regardless of what skills they have. The one thing about me is I am determined, passionate, hard working and stubborn so if I want to do something I will do it.

I made a horrible discovery last night and I really hope that it's not what I think it is.
So last night I had to ask my mum to have a look at were my rectum use to be and yes I know you all probably think that this is weird but I had nobody else to ask and my mum used to work in the hospital so she has seen some not nice things before. When she had a look she noticed what looked to be a small hole and of course this send me into a mild panic because is it a fistula or has bum reopened. I hope that it is not a fistula as I really don't want another one but the thought that my rectal wound has opened up again just devastates me because I really had thought that last operation had worked.
Making horrible discovery's is never good for my bank balance because I am a comfort shopper. I used to be a comfort eater or should I say binge eater but of course I can't really do that anymore so I turn to shopping to make myself better. I knew that Illamasqua was having a sale and I have always wanted to try their eyeshadows, so I purchased 12 of the shadows that are in the sale as well as a nail polish and a cream pigment. If you are familiar with the Illamasqua brand then you will know that they are a high end brand but all the products that I bought were 60% off so instead of paying £218 I payed £88, it's safe to say that I am one happy bunny.

Blimey last night was a rough one and I had thought Christmas night was a bad but compared to last night it wasn't.
So last night I had a another very upset stomach which was worse then my last one. I had to empty my ostomy bag every hour for 3 hours and I also ended up being physically sick, which I thought I was unable do these days. In the past when I tried to be physically sick nothing has ever come up past the stricture's, even when I have used a great deal of force. This time round I didn't have to use that much force so my oesophagus must have opened up by itself which is really great. It would be really nice if it would open up just a wee bit more because I find that if there is any lumps in the pureed food that I eat I always I end up choking. Every time I get a piece of food stuck in my oesophagus it normally irritates the lining and makes it swell shut for a few days so if the oesophagus would just open up a bit more I would never have to go through the whole trying to bring food back up and not being able to eat again.

So it's a New Year and do I feel any different to last year, well the answer would be no.
I have never done the whole New Year's resolutions thing until this year but 2014 was such a shit year and I really do not want to repeat it this year. So far I have a few resolutions for this year and unlike everyone else none of them involve starting a new diet or losing weight. I should actually make one of my resolutions to eat more pureed food seeing as I lost 10kg because of the Crohn's and dysphagia last year but making pureed food can be time consuming.
The two main resolutions that I would really like to stick this year and they are.....
Number 1)
I am really bad at focusing on the future and because of that I would say my life has really kind of stalled, I need to get my fire back.
Number 2)
A lot of time the I hide who I am really am because it doesn't conform to what the world wants or people disapprove of the things I like, one example of this is I like to my clothing to have an edginess e.g wearing a really girly dress with a pair of Doc Martens. Another example is, I love tattoos but some people think that they make you look common or rough but to me they are art.
I do have a couple more resolutions such as be more organised, do things that I have been meaning to do for ages, bake more and start to teach myself special effects makeup and face and body painting.

I have been feeling kind of low over the past few days, I suppose you can call it the post Christmas blues. I feel like I have nothing fun to look forward to anymore as all I have coming up is hospital things and I hate anything hospital related. I know that New Year is this week but I honestly do not find New Year that interesting or fun, maybe it has something to do with having no friends to go out with.
Seeing as I was so down in the dumps I decided to take advantage of the Schuh sale despite people telling me that I didn't need anymore shoes. I bought 2 pairs of Rocket Dog boots and got 36% off and as far as I am concerned they were worth purchasing because a) they are sensible shoes and b) Rocket Dog shoes do not cause blisters on my feet like other brands of shoes.
I was also going to make some clothing purchases from a website but the discount code that they had wouldn't work, which sucks.

Today I had my annual boxing day stomach problems. This year I didn't think it would be that bad because I didn't have a full Christmas lunch but boy was I wrong about that, it has to be one of the worst Boxing day's I have ever had. I am not a 100% sure what has caused it, I can only think of one possible thing that it could be and that is having soup, a glass of wine and tablets all in such a short period of time.** Soup and wine have always made my ostomy output higher then normal plus your are not suppose to take dihydrocodeine and antidepressants with alcohol so that probably is the reason why the guts are playing up today.
DISCLAIMER - **I DO NOT recommend that take you medication with alcohol, especially if it says avoid alcohol on the medication box or on the leaflet that comes in the box **
