This week has been a tough one, my illness has taken a bit of a bad turn and I haven’t be able to walk so well.
This makes me sad, I know I will have to get used to it ( at least for now) , and people have much, much worse but it still makes me sad… okay, and grumpy…grumpy and sad.
And impossible *cough.. difficult to live with, I can be a little ray of sunshine and also a very big pain in the arse. I know it, my mum says its because I’m a Gemini, bless her . I will go with that. I have a bitchy bad twin I guess..a bit like Niki/Jessica in Heroes ( only less literal of course, and less violent 
) .
Anyway, so as well as feeling proper pants, I havent been able to walk, even the short distance to Milly’s kindergarten. But seeing as its only her second week ( and she’s LOVING IT) I didnt want her to miss anything, so Big J has had to do the Milly school run run everyday. This is on top of having to work from nine until 12 (pm) everyday ( he has a big deadline coming up) .
He’s also brought me lunch everyday, and sent me funny texts. He has basically been a bit of a Jem, and it was so cute watching him push Mil’sta up the street in the buggy (something he never usually gets to do) . It made me smile, its true what they say, men take on a whole new level of hottness when they are with their babies, and he is one hot Papa! Im lucky, I know that now for sure. It’s a shame its taken this weird illness to notice how lucky, but hay I guess that’s what they call a silver lining, I’ve been seeing a lot of them just lately.
So I have decided to run a new section on here, the Friday I’m in Love post ( love that song, love The Cure! There you go, there’s love all over already. Hehe ; ). I hope to write one every Friday , it will be dedicated to stuff that makes me (and hopefully you guys ) happy. Might be something arty, something foody, something fashion-y or something personal. But hopefully it will be a reminder of those silver linings. Lets get our Shiny / Happy on, and writing about them will help me (us) apriciate them, yes? yes ..I think so .
So Big J gets the first Friday Im in Love . No pictures of him though, he’s shy .
See you next time lovelies, and remember its Friday, so be in 
..with something ; )

So sorry to hear about your illness and wishing you a speedy recovery lovely x
aw thanks lovely
I have been diagnosed with ME so its a bit of an ongoing thing, but hopefully i will get over it and be back to my normal ditsy chasing around like a loon self very soon

So sorry to hear that things have taken a downward turn lately. I understand that with ME/CFS this is the case, that things are good and then worse, better then harder…. I hope you are developing the tactics to deal with them (support support support, just like you talk about here) and the positive thinking to know that things ultimately can improve again. Big hug! Also love that you say “pants” – in the US when I use this term they give me very strange looks

Sorry you are going through a bad spell
Hope you feel better soon xxxxx
Oh, Helen. I’ve been “out of the loop” as they say. (Exactly who “THEY” are and why “THEY” say such stupid phrases, I don’t know…)
In any case, my lovely, I promise to check in every Friday and see what makes you happy. Because despite all the bad things that life may throw at you, there is always something to smile about. And seeing you write makes me think that you believe that, too. So write on, my twin. Write on! Stay positive.

<3 you lovely. So sorry to hear you're currently taking a beating… Here for you xxx
Thanku Sare, LOVE YOU! x
Helen, sorry to hear/read that. Hope you’ll feel better soon. If you – like me – believe in get well postcards send me your address via mail and I’ll find you a nice card to make you smile (preferably on a Wednesday – IMHO it’s kind of a dull day at which every reason to smile is appreciated). Sending lots of love!

Thanku A, you are a shiny star of a friend ..big thanku hugs xx
Hi chick
Came by partly as I noticed you’ve not been on IG and thought maybe you’d posted on here about it. And yet really I’d already guessed you might be less good, knowing what the ups n downs of the illness is like. I feel for you though because Ive had decades of getting used to coping with it emotionally and physically and it’s all still very new to you, how to adjust, how much to feel the frustration, how much to accept, how much to expect, how much to try not to get disappointed over, how much to push how much to rest. It’s like learning to tight rope in the big top at times isn’t it! Balance being key!
I’m glad to know your man is being such a rock, family are the silver & gold lining within all the clouds.
I do like the sound of your new blog posts on a Friday
The days sometimes merge in to one another but I shall try to remember to check back – oh, On what will be tomorrow! For the next one
My birthday is Monday was wondering when Milly’s is & hope it falls on a “good day” health wise for you
Very tired (did some changing on my blog today) so must go but thinking of you
Love kat xox
Thanku so much Kat, your so wise about these things and I really value your help and love. Will pop over to your blog in a min to see what you’ve been up too
Sorry you are going through such a bad time. Hope things look up soon. Please Milly is enjoying nursery hugs x
