Hi there, I'm Ashe.
Ashe de la June


After many years in IT tech support and web dev, I unexpectedly ventured onto a new path. Now I'm in my thirties and have a double degree in Earth Sciences! I am raising fowl, a goat, a horse, four cats and a husband. I spend my free time in the garden and with my animals. Currently, my long-suffering husband and I sleep with one of our cats in the bedroom with a young pullet in a cat cage on a shelf who refuses to sleep with the other chickens! It strangely works out. My husband is an aspiring author writer and often blogs a story about our lives on the farm etc.

I am passionate about chickens, cats, web design, blogging, Pinterest, sprouting seeds, taking cuttings and other gardening, trialling make-up and hair products, baking, writing stories, spinal disabilities, making things and offering all kinds of advice to people.

Being one who loves to read, TaintedBlood.org is an old URL I purchased in 2002, inspired by the Margaret Weis science fiction fantasy Star of Guardians series of novels. Jazhiaran and Ashe are the names of rpg characters I created in the 90s inspired by the Raymond E. Feist fantasy novels following Pug the magician.

Duromine :: update



Note: before the previous 12 months, I was always around 60kg when fit, and 62kg when unfit - sometimes drifting between the two depending upon what was going on in my life with work, and then tending to mostly be around the 65kg mark after my accident in 07. In 05 I reached 54kg when I was too fit and unhealthy. I am 166.5cm tall, and aside from the cellulite I've had since puberty, 60kg is a healthy weight for my height and size - slim, with muscle.

When I was 54-57kg and full of muscle, I lost my boobs and you could see my ribs. Any person who is my height and reckons they are 54kg is a liar. I looked almost anorexic.
So, I've used two scripts of three of Duromine now. I have my third and final one to get soon. If you do not have any bad reaction to Duromine, you go from having 15mg in the first month to 30mg in the proceeding months. I haven't been able to buy the third script for a week now, so am probably not losing any more weight.

Last week at the doctor, fully clothed and having had water, an Up n Go and two Pepsi Max's (I use sugar free drinks as a way of keeping my food intake down [enamel protecting sensitive tooth paste required]), and I was weighed at 78.3kg. W00t! Even wearing jeans, being mid-afternoon and bloated with IBS symptoms I had lost weight. I was probably at about 77kg if not less. Great news, indeed.
So - without Duromine simply by moving to Tas country from Syd suburbia I:



  • weighed 89kg in January 2012 when in Syd
  • upon better diet in Tas with mum feeding me for a while, and exercise I managed to get down to 83kg
  • started on Duromine and managed to get down to 78.3kg firm
  • my final script of three has not been implemented yet


  • I had a plan on RunKeeper to lose 10kg from 82kg to 72kg by 1 November 2012. I am not going to get there due to illness - bad ear infection, and injury from walking too much in September, but I'm pretty happy about how I AM going. I've done really well, for the circumstances I'm in. I am not able bodied like I used to be prior to my accident in 07.


    The very fact that I only became over weight four and a half years after I was so badly injured is a fantastic thing.


     I could have become fat immediately afterwards, but I did not. Turns out it was not my lack of being able to perform exercise which put weight on me... it was the stress and anxiety of being treated so badly at uni by people who had previously been my friends, but who decided they needed entertainment in the form of 50 people bullying one person (who is 9 years older than them), was the reason I put on weight. I never changed my diet. I didn't change my exercise levels. The only thing that changed was my anxiety level. Even now, my OCD is affecting me more than it has since I was in Primary School. I learned early into my adulthood how to hide OCD tics from the public eye. I've lost that ability, it would seem.
