Serenity... Nothing without the Tea. @nothingwithoutthetea-blog-blog - Tumblr Blog

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! Nick Miller replied to me! :D I'm excited by this, can you tell?

So...

I love my Tumblr I do but I'm not the kind of person that stands out from a crowd very easily. And then I was given a website. The domain using my name. I wondered for a while what to do with it and then realised what better way to use my name than fill it with my thoughts and interests. So, I've extended my blog here to there.

I wonder if you'd like to check it out... it'd be much appreciated!

Tumblr on We Heart It. http://weheartit.com/entry/33041160

I was shown how fragile life was on Saturday. I saw the terror on bystanders’ faces. I saw the victims of a senseless crime. I saw lives change. I was reminded that we don’t know when or where our time on Earth will end. When or where we will breathe our last breath. For one man, it was in the middle of a busy food court on a Saturday evening. I say all the time that every moment we have to live our life is a blessing. So often I have found myself taking it for granted. Every hug from a family member. Every laugh we share with friends. Even the times of solitude are all blessings. Every second of every day is a gift. After Saturday evening, I know I truly understand how blessed I am for each second I am given. I feel like I am overreacting about what I experienced. But I can’t help but be thankful for whatever caused me to make the choices that I made that day. My mind keeps replaying what I saw over in my head. I hope the victims make a full recovery. I wish I could shake this odd feeling from my chest. The feeling that’s reminding me how blessed I am. The same feeling that made me leave the Eaton Center. The feeling that may have potentially saved my life.

Jessica Redfield (real last name: Ghawi) was shot and killed last night at a midnight screening of ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ along with 11 others when a gunman opened fire in a theater. The above is from her blog, written in June, after she narrowly escaped another senseless shooting at a mall in Toronto. (via newsweek)

Seriously broke my heart. It's horrible enough to hear but reading that makes it so much more real and personal.

Yes.

So...

I've been kind of quiet for a while as I started a new job and work RIDICULOUS hours. However, I've just been signed off sick. 28 whole days. And even then that may not be the end of it. I am so bored. This is day 2. I was rushed into hospital on Saturday (today is Tuesday) with an Ovarian Cyst (not nice) but instead of fixing me up there and then they sent me home with tablets that make me ill and told me to go to my GP. So here I am. Waiting.

And waiting.

For something to happen and for the ball to start rolling on my road to recovery. I need a scan and then probably an operation. Meh. That I'm not looking forward to.

But I'm not the kind of person that can just sit around feeling sorry for myself. Usually. At the moment it's kinda all I can do considering moving hurts. So here I am. Blogging.

As I'm starting an English degree in a couple of months I've decided to try and get my head back in the game that is Education and wake it up from it's (quick mental maths... or not so quick...) 4ish year slumber. You may be thinking 'so to do that you're writing a blog? Hard work, well done' but no. Not just this. I'm returning to the novel I started about a year ago. I have 9 chapters as of yet but I have no doubt that when I go back to it once I'm done here I'm more than likely to read through them and scrap the lot. Go back to the drawing board and my months and months of planning and research.

I'm sure it'll be fun. I need to fill my days with something.

So yeah. My plan. I'm going to write and blog about my progress regarding the novel (including some excerpts for your opinions please) and also my road to perfect health :D

This may or may not go to plan but we shall see!

NB: when your dashboard is being plagued with posts of cakes and shoes you know I'm either bored or have writer's block or am stressed or something along those lines. Hopefully this won't happen too often and I apologise in advance.

Just one last thing. I'd really like word to get out about the book once I get a little further a long with it. I'm a member of the Kindle Publishing thingy and I shall be uploading it to there when it's done and am hoping enough people will know about it by then to maybe want to download and read it! Fingers crossed.

So here goes. To writing and copious amounts of tea! <3
