Thanks! And A New Tattoo?

Well, I was humbled after my last post.  I had received the news from my Doctor that my Type 2 Diabetes was going from diet control to medication and I hate that it came to that but it was my fault because I never changed my ways.  I asked last week for help on how to handle this and change my ways and I was amazed at the response.  Heaps of people gave me advice and one person even drove to my work that day and dropped me off some books for low GI information.  Thank you all.  It meant a great deal to me.

The first tattoo

Just to update on that front before I talk about my new exciting news, I have been eating much better than I have been and over the past two weeks this has meant that I have now dropped 7 Kilograms just from eating better.  Walking is on the cards too but I am scouting for locations as in Winter walking on my road is a messy affair.

O.K.  Good news people!  I waited 40 years to get my first tattoo, largely because my Mum hated them and my wife is (was) not a fan too.  Mum passed away around 4 years ago now and my wife gave me permission to get a tattoo for my 40th.  Got my Dragon tattoo that I am all happy with and my wife also seemed to like.  A lot in fact.  So much so that I asked about my second tattoo on Thursday and before the night was out she had a design she liked for me to look at!

So it looks as though I will be getting a new tattoo in the near future!  I am not releasing any designs just yet but I think it will be a back piece.  And by back piece, I mean it will take up a lot of the real estate across my shoulders and down to the base of my spine.  I have a design in mind and am going to have a go today at getting it down on paper but I am a crap artist so in the long run the tattooist is likely going to have to draw something up.  Hey I can at least try anyway!

I wont give too much away at the moment but I will say that it is going along with a theme.  Anyhow, less typing and more drawing!  See if I can come up with the masterpiece I have in my mind's eye.  Such is the view from my window.
