After 27 years of Apprehension & Apathy, I have finally visited the Dentist.

Saturday, 19th November 2005, was the big day in question, and I was unusually calm.

I went into the Reception area, and was greeted by a very friendly & welcoming girl. She invited me in & asked me to complete a form, and to then relax until I was called.

The Reception was a nice bright, warm, carpeted room, with a lot of plants & music in the background. Alot nicer than I thought it would be like.

The Dentist then called me into his room, and explained everything to me in a clear & understandable way.

He then did his Check-Up, and said that I have great teeth!

It turns out that the only treatment I needed was a clean & a polish, and I don’t need to see him again for another year!

After that very pleasant visit, I don’t know why I was worried for so long.

When I first posted this Goal, I hadn’t had a smoke in 63 Days.

Last Weekend, I was at a weekend long conference & had a fair bit to drink on both days, and ended up breaking my Quit, much to my disgust.

I am not happy about it, and have been racked with guilt ever since.

I went through all the craves long before this, and got through everything, and a silly stupid weak moment caused me to cave. Just goes to show that I need to always be on my guard.

I am now back on track & haven’t had a smoke since Sunday Morning last. I am on Day 5 now & am committed to ridding myself of this destructive weed once again.

I’ve recently (2 months ago) given up smoking, and have started eating alot healthier in the past few weeks.

I am starting to feel better for it & about myself.

I think soon it will be time to get that well overdue Medical Check-up.

I have started looking after myself & want to be as healthy as I can be.

I want to treat my girlfriend as well as I possibly can, after all we are going to be together forever.

I want to do more work at home, whether that be Housework or DIY jobs, instead of just being lazy.

I want to treat her to more nice things, like meals out & flowers.

I want to kiss her properly more often, not just a peck!

I will try to relax more at home, and not be so tense.

I want to show her everyday that she’s the most important thing to me in the whole world!

I buy at least one Smoothie per weekday, to get my daily intake of fruit. This costs €3.00 ($3.57) per day.

Working this out over an average year, I am spending at least €780.00 ($927.00) per year just on Smoothies.

When thinking of it this way, it sounds crazy!

I have asked my darling for a Smoothie Maker for Christmas, and I hope to then make my own from then on, saving money & becoming more healthy!

Yes, it’s true, I’d like to get a tattoo. Something small & something that won’t change (or stretch!) with age.

I was thinking of getting one with my family crest on it.

This one will be a bit down the road, but still a goal!
