I have been so insanely busy the last week or so, I am so tired! It seems that life is intent on moving me along at a breakneck speed without allowing me time to rest or enjoy the ride, I catch glimpses of some things as they fly by, but not enough to hold onto the memories as I would like to. Thursday was a whirlwind day that read as follows: 06:30 Get up Hmm sorry to bore you, wanted to see what it looked like written down The funeral was nice, a lot more people than we expected, which was really good. People my lovely old auntie had known 60 odd years ago when she was a 30 year old girl guides leader and they were her 5 and 6 year old charges. My second cousins were there, one of them has gotten married and had a baby, but her husband only has 12 months or so left to live, he was diagnosed with rapid onset multiple sclerosis earlier this year, I nearly cried as I watched him playing with his daughter from his wheelchair, such a damn shame. Life can be cruel. I will write about the weekend another day I think, I have exams to prepare for tonight, in between working… *sighs* I am so nervous, so very very nervous…
