    Angels & Demons
    I havn't blogged for a few days for the simple reason, I havn't seen mum that much really.

    This demon that is my depression seems to have taken hold for the past week, so up and down.

    Yes, a lot of it is to do with mum, but what can I do? I suppose ultimately the feeling of being uselessness leads to feeling like this.

    Mum has been too tired to come over to my house and when she has been well enough she seems to have other things planned.

    Sunday when I wanted to take her to the...

    Cancer
    When cancer comes along,
     it creeps and makes no sound,
    it worms’ its way inside,
    its’ limits, know, no bounds
    Young or old, makes no difference,
    You see,
    it really doesn’t care, if it’s you
    Or, if it’s me.
    I wish with all my heart,
    I could take away her pain
    And gently rock her in my arms,
    and make her well again.

    Busy days and....

    ....lumps ‘n’ bumps!

     

    I’m cream crackered! Pleasantly cream crackered it has to be said.

    Yesterday was a busy day. We took the children to watch the Severn Bore. It wasn’t the most spectacular one I’ve seen, it was a three star version (the best being a five star). For their first one they were suitably impressed with the power of nature! The wave was big enough for the surfers brave enough to dodge the water propelled tree trunks to surf for a while, although I don’t suppose...

    End of week 2 - OK-ish

    It's been a bit up and down this week. I don't know what got into me on Wednesday - apart from a bit of tiredness I felt really chipper and very glad that the nausea of week one hadn't returned. Unfortunately the last couple of days haven't been quite so great - the nausea is back and I've been a bit more sore and tired. The nausea is still manageable though so I guess I'm still doing pretty well all things considered.

    I'm glad we are heading into the weekend now so can enjoy...
