OK, so yes, I have been quite AWOL over the past month but I have some great excuses. Most of them have to do with the fact that we moved house 3 weeks ago and I’m still recovering. Not physically recovering mind you – it’s more of a mental thing. I find that I’m quite fragile when dealing with big changes like this. I work myself up into quite a state and without the antidepressants and other mood stabilisers that I previously relied upon (I weaned myself off all the tablets three years ago) I’ve since discovered I’m really quite unable to deal with big bursts of stress. I’ve got a referral to see a behavioural therapist but have been on the waiting list for an appointment for the last 5 weeks. Oh, to be stress and medication free – could such a scenario really exist? We’ll wait and see.

Benny went in for an operation last Tuesday. He had to have a large perianal adenoma (I know! Yuck!) removed from a precarious spot on his ‘business end’. He is a trooper though and seems to be recovering ok. The Dr and pathologist are a little concerned about some abnormal cells and they’re investigating further. Finger’s and toes crossed that things work out. I love my little man. He is so sweet and good natured. I would hate for there to be anything wrong.

What else? I’ve been doing a lot of writing. Paid, client stuff – not the novel, unfortunately. Though I have found some time to work on defining my main character. Images help my writing so I’ve started up a pinboard on Pinterest that get my creative juices flowing. Are you on Pinterest? Let me know if you are.

Regular posting to resume from…..now!
