get to this awful point? Seventeen years ago I was having the time of my life and working abroad (well if you can call going to war working abroad). I was a 10-12 had all the attention, and more, that I could have wished for. We worked hard and played hard, and I loved it. It was like M*A*S*H with palm trees and it was an amazing time, when I fell in love for the first and last time (I wouldn't say anymore because I remain loyal to his memory . even though he has long since forgotten me I expect,but we did meet several times in the subsequent years).
Anyway how did I go from that happy go lucky dizzy blonde in combats by day and beautifuly dressed by night, to a depressed overweight unattractive nobody who only ventures out of the door (literally) to go to work? What happened? I don't know but my C.O. once said to me "S**** go home have a t********** otherwise it will ruin your career". He also said "S**** make the most of this darling because it will never get as good as this again". Now there was a phrophet if ever there was one. If I could answer my own question I would be back to being S**** again, instead of being invisible.
