I still come to a point every day where I think : ‘wow, I’ve got to 2pm (for example) before I’ve thought about the past two years’ horrors’. And I’m supposedly on the mend.
Hi guys. I knew it would probably be an awkward post to reply to, but hey, it’s my personal blog and this is where I find myself. And for the record, all your replies are much appreciated.
I don’t know why the scary black cloud descends sometimes, but luckily I am going to have a whole whack of happy distraction starting this afternoon when ToyBox arrives for our Seville Meet weekend. Dragonqueen is getting in around midnight (of course) so Nog and I will meet her taxi when it arrives in the centre. A nice lunch planned for tomorrow, and a fabby tapas tour for Saturday evening. And then dragonqueen and I will be going to Granada overnight on Monday!
Meanwhile, I’m also very busy doing the SimonSeeks restaurant reviews – you can check them out here if you like and let me know how I’m doing.
And a job perk from working with Victoria allowed me to do something rather special for a friend this week (it’s all about connections), which totally made my day when I found out “the package had arrived!” yesterday evening. Sometimes I think that’s what life is all about for me – when I can make someone happy. And it actually helped clear the dark clouds last night and I went to bed feeling like it’s all worth it.
I don’t have my own version of the “scary black cloud” to relate this to, so I haven’t even a second hand experience to allow me to empathise. Mind you, even if I did, that would be mine, not yours and therefore not the same.
My thought though, and I know this has been said in other threads, is that it’s OK to be scared sometimes, let’s face it, the circumstances you have found yourself in are scary!
The thing is to know that the cloud will lift – on this occaion it’s the parcel and the mini-meet, next time (if there is one), there will be something else that starts to help you through.
My hope is that the new busy az will have so much more on her mind and in her life that the darkness doesn’t have the room or the time to make itself known.
Yesss… I can see how that would help. Good for you! And when are you and Shannon coming to do a Grapehops tour in Andalucia? I know this great little vineyard in Malaga…
Huggle.

I don’t think that anyone who hasn’t dealt with this on a day to day basis could possibly know what it’s like to live with such a diagnosis.
All I can do is send a (hug) and hope that today is a better day for you.

Again, I am another without first-hand experience.
So all I can offer are hugs. Albeit hugs from a long way away. 🙂

I wish I could figure out what keeps the black cloud away. Though I do have to say, cruising down the Grand Canal last week, sure helped! Take care.
