Where the hell have you been? Part 453

Guys I took my computer to Cornwall last week with the full intention of editing and uploading the videos in the current Fave Fives set, only to find we had zero-to-mild signal and that uploading was never going to happen. I know I owe you the videos and thanks for the daily (hourly) reminders about them. I'm not being evasive, I'm just enjoying summer with the kids (I'm still 'working' working obvs) and although the rush to blog is still filling my head and planning/notebooks - it's just taken a little seat while I hang out with the fam. I'm going as quick as I can. I promise.

It's just that this dude and his siblings are a lovely distraction. I'm here. The videos are coming. Promise. Just let me enjoy all the cheek-biting that I can while he still tolerates it. ;)

Please hold caller.

Erm. WHERE have you BEEN/where have you GONE?

That, dear readers, is the question I have been asked a lot in the last few weeks. As most of you will know, I suffer from a dodgy back (broken coccyx) and was given some new medicine recently to 'try out'. Lest I become a dreadful only-ever-talk-about-what's-wrong-with-me-bore, let's just say this and be done with it: the tablets were akin to horse tranquilisers once they were in my system.

It took me a couple of weeks to realise that I was having the energy to work, be a Mum and then literally napping the rest of the day/going to bed early. The lack of YouTube videos is literally because the thought of setting up lights/focusing the camera made me want to sleep even more. Horrible. I thought I was going out of my mind. Friends thought I was ignoring them, Mother thought I'd been kidnapped - the whole shebang.
I stopped taking them on Saturday and literally felt like a new person on Sunday. It was ridiculous. Said pills are going back to the pharmacist and I am sticking to what I know. Sod. THAT.

That's where I've been. I'm awake now. See you soon.
