I Surrender…

It’s white-flag time, guys. I surrender. I’ve just crashed, hit the wall with this bloody un-specific, un-diagnosed illness and have to cut out all non-essentials until I’m feeling better. That – as you will probably have noticed – includes blog posts. I’ve got about twelve partially finished posts on the go – I couldn’t stay awake long enough to finish any of ’em.

I’ve got five chapters on my book written, awaiting a final draft before it can beย sent off to agents, and a half-arsed pantomime plot that needs some serious input, and I can’t do any of it – there’s just no time after sleeping 16 hours a day! I’m going for the record full 24 hours, but not quite there, yet… I’ve got the endocrinologist appointment on Monday – if I don’t sleep through it – so hopefully, that’ll get the ball rolling towards some kind of answer.

I hope you’ll all still be around in a couple of weeks – Jeeze! – I hope I’m still around in a couple of weeks! But I’ll quite understand if you all piss off and find something more interesting to do ๐Ÿ™‚

Love, light and happiness, my bloggy-buddies! X

  5. Hope you feel better soon Tiny!

    Non-essentials… so that leaves eating and sleeping, and misses out on housework, cooking, poop-a-scooping and anything child related.

    So not all bad after all x Seriously, hope you’re feeling upto normal life soon.

    • Lol! You’re dead right – eating, clean clothes and sleeping, that’s about my lot! Felt so awful last week, I spent 48 hours in the same clothes – yeuk!!
      Thanks, Max. When I’m better, we should celebrate with a night out ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Oh, thank-you, Michelle. I’m really missing my bloggy friends, just too exhausted to tackle the 300-odd e-mails notifying me of new posts.
      And I’d love you with stinky-dog breath ๐Ÿ™‚

  10. I’ll always be here for you Sara! I only want you to get better! I know I owe you an email!

    Maybe you need a couple Red Bulls! JK!

    Blog when you can. We’ll all be here for you, waiting for your next hilarious rant!

    • Thanks, hon. E-mail when you’re ready; I certainly know what it feels like to have too much other stuff awaiting your attention. I can’t keep on top of stuff at the moment, so I’d never moan at someone else for lagging behind a bit. Not that I’m saying your behind is lagging, of course… ๐Ÿ˜‰

  11. Oh, no! I am so sorry. I think I may be on my own journey into the “I don’t know what’s wrong with you” medical thing, so I can only hope that they quit fucking around and really try to help you out. Please just keep us updated on how you’re doing. And, if you get that 24-hour sleep in, let me know. Maybe you can get nominated for “The Sleepiest Blogger” award!

  12. One wave of my magic wand should sort you out. If not I recommend a months holiday somewhere warm (maybe even exotic, like Torquay!)

    Sending magic hugs and kisses FG xx

  14. Hey, what do you know? I’m going to see an endocrinologist too! For my bad sleeping habits! Hope you start feeling better.

    Reply
    • Lol! Bad sleeping habits? You wanna know how to sleep? I can tell you that!!
      Nah, seriously, may God bless all endos and let’s hope the two we’re seeing are competent, amen. ๐Ÿ™‚ Hope you get sorted soon!

  16. Well that bites. Of course we will all be here waiting for you to come back. Good luck on getting your book finished and ready to send off. WE can all say that “we knew you when.”

  17. I’m wanting more info on the book! Hope the endo appt went well. *I’ll* still be around in a couple of weeks (well – unless I’m devoured by the coyotes outside my door – but I’m too ornery for that). Take care – let me know how things are going ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Reply
    • Ornery – what a wonderful word! App was Hell on earth – hoping to post about it in a bit. And the book’s a kind of spoof guide to internet dating. What can I say, it’s an extreme sport… ๐Ÿ˜‰
