Back to “normal”

JJ — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 21:42:34 +0000

I haven’t spoken about Pain in a while. It doesn’t fit in that well on these pages these days so I have tried to avoid it. Instead, I’ve spent the last few months attempting to rebuild my life – to be “normal” again. I am back at work, against some Doctors orders. I am trying to exercise. I am looking after myself, eating healthily, seeing friends…doing everything the old me would have done. I have developed a way of talking about the accident like it happened to someone else. I do not ...

When it’s over…

JJ — Wed, 05 May 2010 11:57:42 +0000

Long term readers of TLLWTL will know how happy I was this time last year. OK, so my pain levels were higher than they are now, but I was happy. Ridiculously so. I was that girl floating on clouds and generally being irritating, talking about how wonderful relationships are. Some of you may even recall a rather smug post I wrote, mentioning how extraordinarily lucky in love I felt. Unfortunately, things change. My relationship is difficult right now. I wanted to move in together from day 1. I wanted the future. I wanted the ...

The English Gentleman: Where Art Thou?

The Gent — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 10:14:48 +0000

I like to consider myself a gentleman. An English Gentleman at that. I feel it’s only right to hold the door open for a lady (and gent to be fair), offer to pay the bill, and offer your coat should your partner be cold. But it seems that chivalry is dead, and that less and less women believe that the English Gentleman still exsists. A whopping 89% infact, according to a recent survey. However, half of the women surveyed considered their other half to be a gentleman. On this basis, ...

Changes…

JJ — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 12:24:41 +0000

If nothing ever changed, there’d be no butterflies. (Author Unknown) The last few weeks have been ripe with change. The boy and I are making that difficult transition from being two single people, to one co-habiting couple. The quietness of the suburbs is a distant memory and reintroduction into life in London has been swift thanks to one flashing incident (not pretty) and a pick-pocket. Not in my top ten reasons for loving London…but it certainly makes life interesting. I have also left behind a lot of friends, and I don’t just ...

Life is sweet…

JJ — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:31:32 +0000

Now, I know I’m officially not supposed to be here this week, but I thought I’d drop in just to say hello and to say a big thank you to the the fabulous TeenyTiny for doing such a fabulous job as my guest blogger for the week; what a star! I still have a lot of back an forwarding to do before I am 100% moved but I’m pleased to say everything is perfect with the new house…apart from the fact we have no hot water upstairs for some reason so ...

Gone fishing….

JJ — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 09:24:17 +0000

Of course I haven’t really gone fishing. Far too cold for that malarkey… But I may not be around much this week. I have moving stuff to do (read “supervise”), pain levels are through the roof already (BOO) and I need a rest. In other words, blogging may be a little tough for a few days. Don’t fear though, I still have a few special things lined up for you. Keep your peepers peeled, you never know what might pop up… Oooh, and while I’m away please don’t forget to check out our ...

This Little Lady is moving BACK to London!

JJ — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 18:39:29 +0000

For the last little while, I have lived just on the outskirts of London, and it has been KILLING me! I miss the buzz. I miss the mischief. I miss being able to jump on a tube to meet my friends and I miss being able to get a loaf of bread after 10pm at night. So…today is a happy day. The Boy and I had an offer accepted on a house…and I have to say…it’s gorgeous. Stripped wood floors, garden, HUGE kitchen, 2 big bedrooms….and it’s ours. We’ll be right by the ...

Another Day, Another Operation?!

JJ — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 09:20:52 +0000

So, today, like so many days before it, is hospital day. Oh, the joy. I can’t tell you how excited I am by the prospect of sitting around for hours, waiting for a specialist who is too busy to care to tell me that there’s nothing they can do except operate…which will possibly not work anyway. But I am not feeling in the slight bit stressed, or worried, or angry by the prospect of wasting another perfectly good day in the company of the NHS (I’m not knocking them, I’d be a ...
