So this week seems to have gone stupidly fast. That seems to be right for all weeks at the moment. They’re flying by and merging and all becoming one. So at the moment I have no idea if tomorrow is last Tuesday or October 4.

I think though that the merging and confusion thing is quite common at the moment for everyone. Not really had a great time this last week. Things have been well and truly fucked up. The usual MS things have been playing up but on Friday things got really FUBARed. During if the day this dizziness wasn’t great, well it hasn’t been great for a while but Friday afternoon I got the usual dizzy feeling, but what makes it strange was the fact that this time I had the feeling in my arm. Let’s say that floored me for a bit then I just carried on as normal. Friday night rolls round and things got really bad. Pain, dizziness and to top it off my legs didn’t work properly. So I’m sat on mum and dad’s bed losing my mind because I wasn’t sure what the hell was going on, I was confused and couldn’t speak, I think I knew the words but they just didn’t want to come out of my mouth. Mum and dad came up and I just really struggled to explain what was going on. It’s not easy at the best of times but when all you can do is make noises it makes it that little bit harder. So eventually after some motherly coercion I managed to calm down and make it back to the fridged north or as most people know it, my room. The air con has been running overtime this last week. So back in the cold I started to cool and calm down and mum came in for a chat.

So we chatted away for a bit and things started to work again, what a massive relief that was. We seem to think that it was MS being aggravated by the heat and that I hadn’t been sleeping too well recently either. And that was that.

I said last week that I had breathing issues and things on that side have been a bit rough this week too. So I’m now carrying my puffers round religiously, that way I make mum do. “DO AS I SAY AND NOT AS I DO”. So breathing has been a bit of an issue again, I think down to the heat and possibly pollen. I’m keeping an eye on the pollen forecast now just in case it’s that. Speaking of forecasts, most people see warm sunny days on the forecast and look forward to them, I don’t, I dread them worrying what’s going to happen this time. Thank god for aircon that’s all I have to say about that.

This last week has been a bit more arty than crafty. Not sure if you spotted my art work on Facebook or not but here is my Sanntangled Dream Catcher:

I’m pleased with it and I think it looks good. It’s doesn’t seem to want to load up at the moment but I’ll get it sorted………….19 years, 5 months, 3 weeks, 6 days and 14 hours later:

So that’s my dream catcher.

I’ve done some other tangling this week as well :

There will have been more but as usual I haven’t taken any pictures. The other sock is still no further forward. But this evening I attempted to colour a gem:

There’s 2 pictures of it one with just the colour before I used blending solution and the second afterwards. I’m not sure which one looks better. What do you think? It’s only in a sketch book so it doesn’t really matter I just wonder what others think.

As it’s now gone 12 it’s time for my daily dose of Flow Free and a cheesey nineties hit film, a Schwarzenegger special ……. Total Recall. I’ve only seen the newer version once and I think the original is better. 

Plans for next week are to speak to the doctor about my mouth and tongue. Its been really sensitive for a while now to the point where it’s really painful to eat and drink some things. Using mouthwash for example can cause agony, Its a bit like Listerine type pain but 50 times worse. That’s with any mouthwash or even just brushing my teeth, anything with the slightest bit of spice is a big no no too. We had lamb Tajine for tea, had some great flavour but I just couldn’t eat it because of the pain it was causing. Some sweets and crisps can be an issue and some other things you wouldn’t think of. So conversation with the GP and hope that we can get something sorted. I think it may be a throwback from a dry mouth thing. My mouth used to get that dry I couldn’t speak because my tongue used to stick to the roof of my mouth or my cheek or something. And I’ve only recently realised that this issue isn’t normal and there are treatments available for it. So from that side of things wish me luck.

Another thing I’m planning on doing is a meditation with a piece of Campo Del Cielo Meteorite. I’ve had for a while now and found it again the other day. I could feel it buzzing in my head screaming for me to work with it. So I’ll find some time for that and who knows where I’ll end up and what I’ll learn and get from it.

Love and Light
