Microwave Hot Cross Mug Bread
One of the biggest things I miss about going gluten free is the hot x buns. I used to eat them all year round. Toasted with butter. As a sandwich with cheese in. Warmed in the microwave and dipped in baileys, mmmmmmm.
Pivotal Point
This time last year I found myself trying to do everything I wanted to do rather than pacing and taking care of myself. I ignored red flag* warning signs, pushed on and ended up crashing and burning for the first half of this year.
Sport Relief
Today is sport relief day which means my kids had to choose a sporting hero to go to school as.
Now being 6 & 8 and not having an overly sport loving family means they don’t know any sports people never mind sports hero’s.
Flare
I appear to be having what I am going to call an ME flare. Which I would say is worse than a crash but not as bad as a relapse.
New Year, New You?
Tis the season for re-evaluating life, figuring out what is important and if/how things need to change.
I have just had possibly the busiest December since I stopped working pantomimes. Looking back it is mostly a blur and I now feel worse than I have in months.
Accountability
A wise lady keeps reminding me that I need to be accountable for my health. I need to put my aims out there, tell the world, let people know what I am trying to achieve and who knows maybe others can then help me, spur me on, encourage the changes I need to make?
Minimalism with Children
I really appreciate the idea of minimalism. Less stuff to organise, clean, tidy, look after. I have spent the last few years trying to de clutter as best I can with minimal energy and a young family under foot. And I have found that the freer from stuff I have become the more relaxed and calmer I feel.
ME Awareness 2017
I am a great believer that when there is hope there is a way and that it is so important for those suffering with ME and their carers to always have hope and never to give up.
