And life goes on..

Been quite a while since I posted.  There has just been so much happening and so many of the events I just couldn't get my head around blogging what I actually wanted to say.  Some of the events I have had difficulty with lately:

  • An old work friend passed away. Younger than me.  Finally losing her battle with cancer.  I'd only just got back in touch and been to visit.  I cried all the way home after that visit and never got back up to see her again!
  • Wendy moved back to Hamilton.  I was super happy for her and what the new job meant, but super sad she was going.  Although I knew she was just a bit further away, I started to realise how many things would change as a result.  I'm still processing some of those changes.
  • Jayden saw a new paediatrician and was diagnosed with some additional syndromes/conditions, which will help us in the long run, but was a bit to take in at first.  He is now under Marinoto and so things are finally progressing in the right direction.
  • Damage to the house from the ceiling/walls flooding after a tradesman error - it was all only just finalised and sorted last week, with the repairs now to be undertaken and our excess and no claims bonus from the insurance still to be sorted out.
  • Been sick for the better part of 3 weeks, with a sick little boy home for an entire week and still not 100%.  Woke up feeling like round number 2 is on it's way and both kids sounded terrible this morning, so who knows what this week will bring.
  • Gypsy is moving to Perth!  Saw her one last time today (until who knows when) and it was so much harder than I thought.  The indefinite move overseas hadn't really sunk in till she got here to say goodbye and as she drove away, I lost it. Tried to speak to Wendy 3 hours later and started losing it again.  
All been floating around in my head with no clarity for getting all the feelings out and so I resisted blogging, but I have made an effort to journal the feelings so they are released and I can get back to blogging.  After all, no matter what we face ...life goes on!
