Dear All,

I hope you are well.

Please allow me to apologise for not keeping up with your blogs/posts. I have been so busy, I’ve just not been able to keep up with everything. I’m just so grateful for the ‘Schedule’ feature on WP. In addition to this, I was very unwell over the weekend.

It came on all of a sudden Friday (8th December) after I collected Little Yum-Yum from school. Within thirty minutes or so, I was trembling, but sweating profusely. Dressed in a thick sweater and thermal leggings (not very vintage, huh?), a fleece hooded dressing gown, a 13.5 tog duvet and 2 fleece blankets – not to mention the heating was on full – I felt like I was going to freeze to death.

In addition, I lost most of the feeling down my entire right side, which does feel much better today. It didn’t stop me from letting Max experience snow properly for the first time yesterday, though. I dragged myself to the front door and watched as ate snow flakes, and listened to his laughter. I needed that. He is such a treasure. I didn’t enjoy the snowballs he threw at me! It’s not like I could throw one back!

I lost 5 lbs over the weekend.

The last time I felt like this was two and a half years ago. I was told I had the flu. Think I’ll be going with that diagnosis this year, as I really do not have the time to sit for hours in my doctor’s surgery.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know, as I always feel bad when I fall behind. But I will catch up. I will try this week.

Stay warm, my wonderful WP Family.

Much love to you all.
