I can’t believe it’s been over a month since I wrote anything in here. Actually looking at the last entry I’m not sure I can even count that, in which case it’s more like 2 months since I took any real part in online life.

So I suppose I should start with an appology to my adoring public for keeping you guessing and waiting for so long.

I’m sure both my readers will be very happy to see an update

That said, I suppose I should explain the last couple of entries, and my long absence.

It can be summed up in two words really…

Sickness and boredom!

Firstly my ME (or CFS for you international readers) has been particularly bad. In the last year I’ve left the house twice. Once to get my hair cut so I didn’t look like a yeti at my grandfathers funeral, and then 3 days later to actually go to the funeral.

Of late, that has counted as overdoing it, so I spent the next few months paying for it, crawling from the bed to the bathroom and back again, with a couple of marathon trips downstairs every few days to actually try and eat something.

As you can imagine it was such fun I didn’t feel it would be fair to inflict it on you and make you realise what dull meaningless lives you all have

Well that and I couldn’t actually reach or use the keyboard.

After that when I could eventually reach the computer, there wasn’t really anything to say. I didn’t want to hear any more moaning about how miserable life is and all the “pity me”‘s, so I was pretty sure you all wouldn’t either.

So I’ve been trying to fill in the hours between getting up, eating and finally being able to go back to bed as best I can, mostly with mindless rubbish on the television and monotonous, mind numbing computer games. The kind that are so repetitive they turn your brain to mush, but have the benefit of requiring little thought or effort, and manage to kill several hours even though you’re convinced you just sat down.

All fun and riveting stuff, but not really doing anything to improve my journal comment.

So there we have it. That’s what’s been going on with me the past 5 months or so since I did a proper journal entry.

Well, other than getting a new doctor at the local practice who decided to put me on medication… Two weeks in I blew up like a balloon and was told I had to go to the emergency room because I’d blown up so fast.

Not even a decent story there either since I refused to go because I didn’t have the energy to be ill.

Does that make me sound weird?

Maybe you have to actually have ME to understand, but trust me, when you feel like this all the time, it actually does make sense…

Ok so you’ll just have to trust me on that one.

Well since I now have repetitive strain in both arms from playing computer games for so many months with no break, I’m going to call it a day and stick them in a bucket of ice or something.

Hopefully the next update won’t be as long as this one has taken. If nothing else I have some nice new photos to post…

Taken from the upstairs windows, naturally

Hope everyone is well, and when I can get my brain to function on more than frantically pressing forward, back, fire 1, fire 2… I’ll start to have a trundle through everyone’s journals and catch up on current events… I may even manage to reply to my emails finally too… But don’t hold your breath, blue doesn’t suit everyone :asbestos:
