Sorry I’ve been so quiet on here the last week or so. Some of you may have seen that I’ve been having issues with my car and it’s all quite stressful! I’ve realised in the last year since finishing cancer treatment that my fight or flight response to stressful situations has gone crazy. I can’t handle it. Last summer we went to a local town festival and my husband asked me to go and choose some food from one of the food stands and it was so busy and there were so many options I literally decided to just go hungry instead. I couldn’t handle it, I had to walk away. This isn’t something that used to phase me. I was confused as to why I responded like that and couldn’t explain it but it does kinda make sense if you think about it in connection to the last few years of my life. My body is on constant high alert. So something seemly simple like choosing what I want for lunch in a busy town or deciding which car to buy become huge stressful situations.
So unfortunately my business has taken a back seat, I’m still tinkering away on bits and bobs when I can but I have to admit I have been utterly consumed and on the edge of crying at any given moment since my car died nearly 2 weeks ago.
We’re hopefully coming out the other side and I should have a car by Friday. I’ll be paying it off properly for the rest of my life but that’s another story!
Anyway, here’s this years annual photo I take of my gorgeous, hilarious, kind, faithful and wonderful grandparents. The heads of the family. The patriarchs. Life is precious people, take the photos.
Ramble over!
