Patience is a Virtue

A change of location for this post. Due to the ongoing noise barrage from the upstairs neighbours, I have gone into exile and moved back to my parents' house for a few weeks. Having been here a month, I've been enjoying the sleep a lot (very hot weather notwithstanding!) and missing Mr. S. Fortunately it's only temporary as the source of the noise is due to depart back to Ireland at the end of August, so I'm making the most of my time here but looking forward to getting my home back!

I've not been blogging very much recently for a number of reasons. Firstly, when most of your days are the same, there's not much to say. Secondly, my recovery from this illness has not been very straightforward and probably best summed up as two steps forward, one step back. This has meant periods of high optimism and periods of soul-destroying frustration - sometimes all in the one day. When I feel well it's easy to believe that recovery is just a matter of time and faith, when I feel ill it's much less straightforward - and the balance between the two is surprisingly fragile. Obviously, as time moves on there are additional stresses (how am I going to finance my Amazon addiction when my pay finally runs out, how to navigate the maze that is the DSS etc. etc.) which I also have to try and ignore as stress is as bad for my health as running would be!

So my poor blog has taken a back seat.

Poor blog.
