I DID IT!

I’ve been waiting for Vocal to come up on Freetrade for ages. I’ve wanted to invest in Vocal the most because it’s a platform that I have been a part of for so long. I invest with the small amount of money I have leftover each month.

I first started dabbling in investments a few a ways ago. I wanted to build a diverse portfolio that will generate some good income overtime.

I am on Vocal quite a lot. I was a bit reluctant cause of the minimum purchase of $102, but I am glad I did it because I don’t think there will be an opportunity like this again in a long while.

And another good thing I did was enter two poems in the writing awards. I was stuck between two poems. In the end, I ended up submitting both. I went through the poems I submitted and picked out some that had the most reads and I ended up narrowing it down between two choices.

The first one was inspired by two flowerpots that I had with pansies in them. One was red and the other was purple and one pot grew back and othe other one didn’t. I was aiming to connect mental health to flowers.

The second one was inspired by a Pokémon named Wooloo. Especially the shiny Wooloo because they are black with bright faces. I think Wooloo has a lovely design and I love the shiny form so much.

I submitted both in the end. Then I forgot to check if I was allowed multiple submissions. Had a look over the rules and it seemed to be okay. Phew, that’s a relief. At least I didn’t waste $10 dollars.

I had an appointment the day before the Sugababes gig. The nurse was lovely and kind, the majority of it was regarding my PCOS and treatment options. I was expecting the worst because I thought there would be needle picking and probing, but there was none of that at all. To sum it all up, I was told to lose more weight and take supplements and to contact a doctor if PCOS symptoms got worse. I’ve been prescribed Metformin, which all my life up until now I have been incorrectly calling it meta-morphine.

I think I need to go back to the doctor about my blood pressure cause readings have been a bit all over the place. At the surgery, it is always high, then when I test at home it is normal. But last night, I tested three times and the results seem weird. The first one was 130/79. The second was 110/70. And then the last one was 101/67.

I got put on a weight loss management plan from the doctor and downloaded a free app to track calories. It’s a good app, it’s been helping me plan my meals.

The loss management service gave me a choice of which services I can use for free in 12 weeks. I opted for the swim2slim scheme when it opens up.

Since taking the new medication I don’t feel so tired. I’ve been swimming 4 times this week and I have been in the pool longer than I used to. I normally swim for 20 minutes, but lately I can last for 30-45 minutes now.

My mum and stepdad got married yesterday. It was a lovely occasion. It was a simple ceremony and the lunch was lovely. The weather had been miserable all week but Friday the weather was warm and sunny. Everybody had a wonderful time and they complimented the bride and groom.

👼Someone is watching over us all.
