This week has not been a good one for me. I've been sick with the flu the entire week, and I've also been working late every day with the exception of Friday (when I went for a Charleston workshop - an intense workout that almost did me in!).

And today has been the day in which my spending recommenced, beginning with my maiden journey to Strip whereby I endured a Brazilian wax. All I can say is - painful. The beautician was quite good though. She put me at ease with her easygoing, casual manner and knew just what to say or do in order to help me get past my initial embarrassment.

How do I feel? A little weird, but hey, at least now I can wear bikini bottoms without shame.
