Hi, happy new year! It's freezing today and currently snowing
again.
Since I haven't uploaded a post since just after
Christmas, I thought it was a good time to have a catch up with you all and
tell you what's been going on in my life lately. Everyone seems to have ill on or around
Christmas this year, I'm a little late to the party but my Fibro has well and
truly kicked in and I've honestly just been feeling horrible the past couple of
weeks, this past week especially. If you
don't know what I'm talking about or if you're new here (hi), I have a health
condition called Fibromyalgia and also EDS, if you would like to know more in
detail, you can read my health post here. Basically if I over-do
things I get flare ups and by the feel of it, that's exactly what's going on
right now. I also still have anaemia at
the moment, so I feel like I'm fighting my health all ways round lately. I'm due to speak to my specialist this week,
after 3 months of waiting for an appointment, about finally sorting out some
iron treatment for my anaemia, so fingers crossed I can finally start that and
I'm praying it kicks in soon!
I've even felt too rough this week to film a
video which is disappointing as I've really been enjoying making videos over
the last few months. Kind of
disappointing that not many people see them as I put sooo much work in to them
and like with my last video 'What I Got for Christmas' I only had 7 views! But I guess perseverance and time will
help. I have another video planned to
film later this week, I thought I would have a go at doing monthly
favourites. If you're a long-time reader
of my blog you'll know I usually only ever do seasonal favourites, but I thought
it might be nice to give it a go and there's been quite a lot of little bits
and bobs I've been loving so why not do a favourites!
As for resolutions or goals this year, well one
was to regularly upload videos and posts (going well so far I don't think) but
we're still only in January so I'm not feeling too guilty yet. I also would love to really try and get out
and about more this year. I have a
couple of big events coming up in March and April, which I am SO excited about
but then nothing else, so I want to try and get out of the house and actually
go places, maybe just on a train a go to a new town or go and visit one of my friends
and vlog the trip later in the year.
And finally, I have really gotten in to bullet
journaling, wow have I got into it, pinterest has been my best friend this
week. While I've been feeling too crappy
to do anything, I've been really enjoying scrolling through all the ideas and
saving image after image, as well as watching countless 'bu-jo' videos on
youtube. I was given a really lovely plain
notebook for Christmas and after investing in many new stationary bits (very
naughty I know), I now am the proud owner of a lovely set of colour pencils,
brush pens and fine liners to help get me started! I have also been learning how to do some nice
little fancy fonts and cute little doodles, I've already started on my index
page, calendar page and main January layout, as well as figuring out the
various themes I'm going to do for each month.
So far I'm not finding it a quick process which doesn't really work with
the whole 'bullet' idea but I'm new, I'm still learning and I'm enjoying it, so
that's good enough for me for now.
***********
Well, that was a lot more than I planned to
write, well done if you made it this far, if you did write in the comments what
your favourite colour is :-) Also, let
me know any particular posts or videos you would like to see from me this year
and until next time, lots of hugs to you all and 'Stay Happy' ♥xx
