I sometimes feel a bit like my life is one of those fairground carousel's. Like the cartoon one in Mary Poppins (SUCH a great film!) where I'm whizzing round and round in circles doing so much and being so busy that I don't have time to get off and chill out. Well it finally caught up with me last week when I caught a chest infection. I have a slight lung condition which means I'm prone to contracting chest infections much more easily than others and I can usually tell when one's coming. This one has been coming for two weeks and I have tried to curb with it with copius amounts of orange juice, iron tablets, multi- vitamins and fruit and veg. Unfortunately, as I got cold on the weekend in Essex and pushed myself to the limit- I got worse and had to have Monday and Tuesday off work. I'm one of these people who feel really guilty when I have time off work, even though I was genuinely ill. But it was nice to relax and watch films. (By the way, I've just rented Tangled, the new Disney film and highly recommend it).
Anyway, I've started on the antibiotics just to keep it from developing further and it seems to be doing the trick. If it develops fully, I'm no good to man nor beast for at LEAST two weeks.
So last week was my little brother's 13th birthday. It' so strange as I still feel like he's a baby. I was 13 when he was born. I was meant to have a big party for all my friends but ended up not being allowed in case my mum went into labour. Luckily enough, little Thomas wasn't born until 10th June 1998. He's so grown up now and started looking like a proper young man- it's so hard to believe he's finally going to become a teenager. It's true what they say, it really does go far too quickly.
PS) as the balloon flight was cancelled yet again last week, we have re booked for the 15th August. Fingers crossed the weather will hold up for us!
