Well, I promised myself I would make a concious effort to start writing fiction this year, after many years of putting it off, writing one or two chapters and getting no further or just simply making my life far too busy to do it. This time I decided that enough was enough, with all the […]
Moment of Closeness
Following several ramblings as a demented mother of a teenage daughter, i am blissfully, heartwrenchingly happy to say she is currently laid in bed next to me as i type this. Taking some time to spend together as her dad watches the football downstairs. Im not going to dwell on the fact that she doesnt […]
Open University and decisions.
I’m studying with the Open University, for what was to be a degree in Geosciences. I’ve done my first two years at level one and am currently coming to the end of the last course, which has been extremely difficult to keep going with, bearing in mind all the health issues and worries I’ve had […]
Blogging Etiquette?
As anyone that stops and reads this blog can see, I am very new to this blogging lark. So much so, I’m wondering about the blogging etiquette. Lots of questions run through my head when I log in and look at my “dashboard” How many times can I post in a day? Is it a […]
Introducing Bob
I thought I would do a post introducing my little girl Bobbie. She’s a seven year old Springer Spaniel and she is the laziest springer in the world. Springers are usually very energetic dogs, but Bob takes every opportunity to lay down and sleep. (Maybe taking after her owner?) She has a boys name as […]
Migraine and the working woman
I suffer with migraines. Blinding, crippling pain over one eye, nauseating, that makes me want to leave my insides on the floor beside me when I move, migraines. Not the most pleasant image to conjure up, but a pretty real one to live with. I’ve lived with these abominations for years now, since I was […]
Tick in a box
My thoughts, feelings and actions from Wednesday are disjointed and all over the place,so writing a blog entry about it, that makes any sense, could prove difficult. This morning, however, I am going to give it a bash before I get on with an Open University assignment. We saw, according to her, one of the […]
Progression
I find it incredibly difficult to write and post when I’m really stressed about something, which is why it’s taken me a couple of days to catch up with this. Strange really, when the whole point of my blogging is having somewhere for me to write things down, put my feelings in a space rather […]
The “Consultation”
It was supposed to be a consultation. There were 45 minutes blocked off for it. We entered the room and met someone I presumed was the geneticist but all I think I heard her say was her name, not who she was in the scheme of things. My nerves had got the better of me […]
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
It’s been four months since the paediatrician uttered the words Ehlers Danlos Syndrome in relation to my 6 yr old little boy, and since then, I’ve read and researched what I can. I’ve seen the genetic counsellor and this afternoon we have our appointment with the geneticist where a diagnosis, I presume, will be final. […]
