I just wanted to send a message to friends everywhere, to apologise for being such a rubbish friend these days!
Although I am working slightly fewer hours these days, I still find that work takes up a lot of my time and energy (spoons!). Whatever I have left is spent stressing over fundraising! If the truth be known, I really don’t like the situation I find myself in and hate having to ask people for money. It’s all so time consuming, stressful and a little humiliating. I tend to be quite open with friends and family, but don’t share my whole life with everyone. Yet here I am sharing my thoughts and information on my life and my health with anyone who wants to read it!
With all my physical and emotional energy going in to fundraising, worrying about fundraising and trying to win the lottery, I know I am neglecting the people around me. I’m sorry for that.
If I owe you a text or phone call or an email, or a coffee or a night out, I hope you can bear with me while I’m so distracted with everything else. Please keep in touch xx
All of this has made me realise that life is going to be very different for me for the next 6 months or so. I’m planning to work hard at the fundraising until our evening do on 23rd February. At that point, I’ll try to borrow whatever is outstanding and get my treatment paid for. Then I’ll have 2 months to plan and prepare!
My trip to Russia will take a month and I’ll need to take things very slowly when I get back. I’m hoping normal service will resume by Autumn …that really does sound a long way away. I know I will have some wobbles on this journey and there’s a lot I can’t even think about yet, but at the moment, I’m feeling positive and determined, which will do for now!
