It’s been a while. A long while. No excuses, just malaise. Laziness. Can’t be arsed. Which is not very me. Or at least it wasn’t. Not sure what has happened this past couple of years. I used to be such a go-getter with multiple projects on the go at all times. No sooner had one massive endeavour finished, I was … Read More
TRT Update 2: I Have The Power!!
OK, so I’m not quite He-Man yet, but a lot of the benefits of the Sustanon testosterone injection are kicking in. There have been a few unwelcome side effects, but all have been temporary as my body adjusts to this influx of hormones. I have also had a follow up blood test, the results of which make interesting reading. First … Read More
TRT Update
You may recall, on my last blog about TRT, I posted an update to say that I had moved from gel to injections. Sustanon, in fact. It’s very odd. I’ve been lifting weights since I was about 18 years old. During that time, I have avoided taking any kind of steroid, preferring to stay natural and, frankly, because I was … Read More
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
Thankfully, I am getting older. Of course, there are aspects of it I am not too keen on, and I resent the bits that used to work quite well playing up a bit, but it is better than the alternative. Dead right! It has long been known that women in middle age go through a massive hormonal change which interferes … Read More
Bohemian Rhapsody Queen Movie Review (No Spoilers).
I have been a massive fan of Queen since the age of about 14. I was introduced to them by a friend and, once I got my head around what I was listening to, gradually fell madly, head-over-heels in love. And it has remained that way ever since. When Freddie died, it is true to say I was devastated. By … Read More
Another Door Closes
Friends and fans of SMELLYOURMUM.COM* – we have some BIG news. Please read on… A few weeks ago, we sent out a message to say that we were closing for a bit, to take a little break. This was a little bit of a white lie. Truth of the matter was that we had been in discussions with an old … Read More
No Such Thing As Luck
I’m not a big believer in luck, it is the destroyer of ambition. I know this because it has lurked in my background, encouraging me to be a bit daft-slash-lazy at times in the hope that the one-in-a-million may happen without me having to lift a finger to encourage it. Of course, this never happens. Once you unburden yourself of … Read More
The DNA Results Are In!
Part of this quest of mine to work out a bit more about myself has lead me toward DNA tests. So far, I have had two. The first, from Ancestry.com is to determine what ethnicity I am. I don’t look typically anything and, not knowing anything about ancesters beyond a few generations, I thought it would be interesting. The second … Read More
Would You Clucking Believe It?
A few months ago, Vikki and I rehoused some ex-battery hens. Since their scrawny, baldy arrival, they have gotten plump and feathery. They no longer list from one tired leg to the other, they run fast, jump up on walls and generally boss the ducks around. And to think, if we hadn’t intervened, they’d be dog food by now. Remarkably, … Read More
The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same
I had reason to visit the doctor last week. This is not something I do often, or willingly, but there was a mental issue I wanted to discuss. I had watched a documentary on Adderall, the drug commonly prescribed in the USA for children with ADHD. The doc posited that it was being overprescribed to anyone that pretty much wanted … Read More
