Pride and Prejudice Part 1
No, I am not on a trip to the library, but as usual trying to juggle everyday life and illness. The book title kept popping into my head, I think because of the daily internal arguments over what I should be doing, could be doing, can do, can’t do and what is best for me…

Princess for a day, reality hits!
So much for feeling like a Princess, I feel awful. The build up to the day and preparing things has left me exhausted, in lots of pain, feeling sick and dizzy, with a sore throat, serious tingling in my feet, legs, hands and face and poor concentration. The events of the last few days, having…
