Riding the Storm

Well, I'm still doing OK.  Its been a rough few days with very little sleep and various grim side effects that I won't go into detail about just now - but may well gross you out with at a later date :-)  Hit a bit of a brick wall yesterday, think it was probably because it was the first day off steroids so had a bit of a lull but feel brighter this morning.  Still don't feel 'normal' and have a very fuzzy head but think it's time to accept that it's not normal and I probably won't feel normal for a few months now.  Time to adjust my perspective and expectations and get up and carry on.....I'm definitely in a mind over matter mood today :-)

Have been very well looked after over the last few days by my amazing Friend, Liz.  She is ensuring my nutritional needs are met - both the cravings for terrible things like mac and cheese, and the actual real need for nutrients.  Liz and I have been juicing for well over a year now and LOVE our green breakfast juices, unfortunately I can't stand it now :-(  But after researching the best foods for blood count (both red and white) we have come upon the best juice for me just now, and I love it, so it's perfect.  ABC : one apple, two beetroot, three carrots.  Simple and perfect :-)  Liz also made me amazing watercress and spinach soup - both foods to boost red blood count. 

While up in the middle of the night last night surfing the web ( as I've been doing for the past three nights!) I came across this quotation and it just feels right for me just now........
Hopefully no storms next weekend though because, fingers crossed, we are going to finally launch Black Pearl (just when all the sensible people in the world are taking their boats out of the water for the winter!)

  1. Black Pearl! Are you pirates?
    You're all going to have so many adventures on her, you also need a skull and crossbones. Hope you get there at the weekend xx

  2. I've just read your blog from the beginning. You are very eloquent and most of your spelling was correct ;) How can my sailing buddy (more of a chatting buddy during our last 'no wind' sail) be going through all of this? The blog is a brilliant idea and I will be keeping a close eye on it. My aim is to get you out on the lake as soon as poss, we always did plan winter sailing.
    Keep going forwards, every day is a step nearer recovery
