The Future

Hi everyone,

I am so sorry that this blog has been so neglected over the past year, there has been so many new things going on in my life that blogging and reading was the very last thing on my mind. However I really want to keep blogging and really provide something for people to read becuase to me I like to help people out by providing tips whether it be what to read as I have always posted or what to watch as with my other more recent posts. The problem is that I have changed so much in the past year and have so many good things in my life going on that reading and watching TV is simply out of the question so below I am going to detail the stuff going on and the changes I plan to make.

I will start at the beginning when my blogging really started to slip. Last March someone entered my life and really changed me for the better, things were changing and even in myself I was feeling very different, this person is still in my life today and we are looking forward to celebrating our first year together, that person is David who I will probably refer to numerous times when blogging. In August of last year I realised that I really wasn't happy working where I was and I found myself in tears on the way to work just dreading going there, if it wasn't for David I probably wouldn't have made the decision to start looking for jobs again but he really encouraged me and helped me through the bad times. In early October after numerous interviews that never went anywhere I got one for a place very near to where David stays, not only did the job fit me perfectly but i'd also be near to him. I got the job and started working on October the 20th and it was amazing, soon after at the beginning of November I started to get ill. I had suffered from Chronic Migraines for a number of years but medication was keeping them at bay and I would only have one or two every year so it wasn't that bad however this time I had one at David's and it was pretty terrifying, if anyone suffers from these they will know about the paralysis and I had never experienced paralysis on both sides of my body but that's exactly what happened, after this migraine subsided we assumed that everything would go back to normal however a few days later I had another attack in work, and then again a few days later. The migraines kept coming every night between 2am and 6am and were lasting well into the next day, I spoke to the doctor a number of times until she refered me to the hospital, they took bloods (my first time and I nearly fainted and this also triggered another migraine) when the bloods came back all clear the doctor told me that he would like to keep me in over night, I was devastated, I HATE hospitals and being in one over night made me panic. I was told that the next day I would have a CT scan and perhaps a Lumbar Puncture, luckily enough the scan came back fine and the hospital decided against the Lumbar Puncture, they put me on a different set of tablets but said that they might take a while to take effect. After a few more weeks of attack after attack they finally began to subside and after one last big one (where I was violently sick for hours and hours and had to get an ambulance to hospital to put me on a drip) the migraines were finally gone. I was over the moon when I could go back to work and luckily they were so understanding and welcomed me back with open arms. Now I have been clear of migraines since the end of November and am finally back to full health I have another huge thing happening in my life and that's moving into my own place!

Now this brings me to blogging again, I am hoping to have a blog that is more focused on life and everything in it, the good times and the bad times as well as the fun times and the ones where you want to sit on the floor and cry. I really want this blog to grow with me and change as I do, whether that means making it a home related blog and document all of the things going on in the house just now and then maybe in a few years time it could be a wedding or a pregnancy and motherhood blog. Either way I really hope to start back up again and I really hope that no matter what i'm writing about someone, somewhere can get something out of it.

If anyone reading this has any requests for what I should blog about whether my idea above is a good one or if you want to see something in particular, even if it's more about Chronic Migraines or something to do with a new house please let me know in the comments below and I will see what I can do.

Speak soon,
