If I’m honest today hasn’t been a very good day. The only thing in the diary was going to my second appointment at the pain clinic first thing. I’ve had a lot riding on this appointment! I was originally referred to the clinic back in February last year by my rheumatologist. Due to one cock up after another I didn’t actually get an appointment to see them until October. They were going to be the answer to my managing my pain. During that first appointment a decision was made by the team that due to the stresses and pressures of … Continue reading “And breath”

A girls can never own too many Ruby Slippers
I am a massive fan of a brand of shoes called Irregular Choice! They are absolutely amazing and come up with all sorts of quirky and unusual designs. I love them so much I have bought a number of pairs (and no my husband doesn’t know exactly how many and it’s staying like that!) For the past couple of months I have been coveting a pair of their Red Ban Joe’s and saving every penny I can to be able to afford them. I was only about 2 week away from being able to buy them and guess what?? They’re … Continue reading “A girls can never own too many Ruby Slippers”
What else can I loose?
When I first started feeling the effects of Fibromyalgia I found it difficult to plan my weeks. I never knew from day to day how it would affect my body and what affect different activities would have the next day or the next. I lost the ability to work the long and physical hours that were required to keep my business trading and as a result I had to close the doors on my shop that had been my life for almost 10 years. Through fibro fog I have lost the ability to retain information such as remembering the right … Continue reading “What else can I loose?”
Me time
For the first month since closing the shop I busied myself with sorting paper work and finalising accounts. December was filled with wrapping presents and making gifts. Then first week of January I sat down with my bullet journal and began to plan all the crafts I could do for my blog with the hope that one would evolve into my next money making scheme. I got quite excited. I relished the prospect of the quiet time focusing on reinventing myself. But 4 days into the new year, 8:30am my husband walked back through the front door having been made … Continue reading “Me time”
I will not let Fibro define me
Today has not been a good day. For the last few weeks I’ve been struggling. It’s the same old thing. My head says I can but my body just laughs and lets me down. Since closing the shop I have also been struggling with my identity and equally how people see me. For the last 10 years I’ve been that lady who runs the flower shop. And 4 of those years I was the lady who does In Bloom from the flower shop. And for the 2 years before buying my shop I had been the lady who makes the … Continue reading “I will not let Fibro define me”
