Rise of the Glums...

It's been 3 weeks since my last post, and I am not really keen on whats going on at the moment... That 3 weeks went WAY too fast for my liking, and were filled with way too much 'stuff'.

My Hubby's grand father lost his long time battle with Cancer, as a person I only met once, it was not hard for me to hear of the loss, but I do wish he had met his Great Grandchildren at least once.

I had the news that my 26week pregnant cousin and good friend, was in hospital on bed rest due to complications.  She is currently waiting on a new ultrasound on Monday to let her know if she can return home to be on bed rest in her own bed.  Nothing further has developed and we are hopeful that her bub will hold steady for at least another 4 weeks, bringing her to 32 weeks when survival has a much greater chance for bub.

My Hubby's step-grandfather went to hospital after a heart attack and was in a really bad way, expected not to survive, our whole family having virusy illness at this time meant no one could take that trip to see him.  He has thankfully recovered remarkably well and will be moved to the rehabilitation ward sometime soon.

At the same time as all this, my hubby's Grandmother (partner to said man) went in for a test requested by specialist doctors, even though results would amount to no outcome as it was already decided that they could not operate on her again, and in devastating fashion they have dislodged some 'plaque' in a vein and caused her to have a stroke.  4 days later after her brain swelling increased over time rather than decreased she passed away during the night last friday.  Her funeral was yesterday, this is a devastating blow to the entire family and I am sure most people are yet to come to terms with the fact that she will not be seen again.  I know I haven't!  She will be sorely missed come Christmas time this year as family traditions change once again and cousins, aunts and uncles drift further apart in her absence.

So basically, while all the SHIZ has been falling down around me and I have been desperately trying to cling to something that WILL NOT fall down, I have found myself completely remiss in all things #MyBlackmores and #OperationMOVE!  In fact I have done NO moving for the purpose of moving since the 29th of June and have very rarely put any information into the Diary on the My Blackmores site.  I am however proud that in all my failings I have not completely blown out my calories, I have been keeping myself somewhat in check and choosing healthier options or less quantity where I can.
The biggest blow out issue I have had would be the amount of hot drinks I have had, there isn't quite anything like a cup of tea to calm the emotions.
In addition to all that Shiz ^^ It has been School Holidays, I have had sick kidlets, and I have been failing miserably to keep up with all things house work.

So come Monday I am hoping to hop on my scales having lost a little, regrouping over the weekend.

There is a lot of healing and processing to happen for me in the next... however long it takes.  I can only hope that I can see things clearly and come out the other side more stable and sure of myself than when I went in...
