AWOL
AWOL… big apologies for my absence.
I have been reading your blogs but life has interfered with my own time or desire to post on my own blog. Nothing major just small hurdles to deal with and major time, motivation and energy deficits. There have been many ups and downs in the past few weeks as there always is in life an dto simplify things I will just list a few and then I promise to be back posting more regularly.
NEGATIVES:
-Dh being a Dh, I will not go into details except to say major stress and the usual rollercoaster of emotions as a result.
-E has been sick again, nothing major, but combined with her discovery of puberty blues in a big way many emotional and draining discussions and worry.
-Work and the end of financial year hassles
-Mum ill and in and out of hospital for 3 weeks. Then when home she has taken to calling for me in the middle of the night and I have to rush over to her house to help calm her down when she is having panic attacks.
-My sister having to move out of her flat with 1 weeks notice and no-one around to help her move except “me.”
-Having to take my sister to legal aid and to court over a “neighbour dispute”.
-My mother and her Dh are splitting up! AGAIN and will it really happen?????
-Feeling I have been a bad friend because I have not kept in touch as much as I should with my special blog friends.
-Some medical issues that have raised their head and made me worry.
-Unable to lose weight and wanting to give up, resulting in my feeling I had nothing to post about. General feeling of unworthiness made worse by tiredness.
POSITIVES:
- Reading blogs and seeing the support given out to people having personal problems has been inspiring and heartwarming.
- A trip to the snow with E and her GF.
- My other sister is having a wonderful month in England and Spain and sounds much happier.
- The blogging Melbourne meet was very exciting and inspiring.
- I have kept to the Brichellee pact and exercised every day.
- Although feeling stressed and resorting to comfort eating when I shouldn’t I have kept getting back on track and I have sustained a rigorous exercise schedule which I now know is so good for my mind and body.
- I have doubt about many things but no doubt about my commitment that “I will not just walk through life anymore. I will continue to take it by the horns and run with it.”
