Fibro and potential ME means Living in a void

Bereavement One Year On
In just over a week it will be a year since my Dad died. I talked about it in the post Dealing with Loss. I don't know about you, but I find as a spoonie my whole sense of time is altered. Blogging wise this has been a very sporadic year too, well in the sense of...

We are once again a bit early. Last year our neighbour Dianne bought a new pre-lit Christmas tree two weeks before the beginning of Christmas and they had to put it up to check it, then decided there was no point taking it down, so continued to put the decorations up....
When the words don’t flow!
Forgive me for repeating myself but I have once again been awol and I have to confess that I am not in a position to be fully back on base! So what has been going on? I hear you ask. Well, first of all, I am not very good at getting the New Year going. I love the idea...
