Right!! I'm back, I'm bad and I'm ready to shift some fat
I have had an awful time over the last month....which will forever be known as Black August.
It all started to go downhill on Thursday 13th of August when I received a note through the door from a concerned neighbour, that my cat had been killed the night before and her body was just 4 doors up. I had been just about to go out and look for her when I saw the note on my door mat. She was just 1 year old to the month....RIP Coco.
Then, 3 days later I received a phone call informing me that my cousin had been killed on his motorbike...he was 39 and had left 3 kids. One of which is the same age as my little girl...7 I hadn't seen him in quite a while, but we had been very close s kids. Having holidays together both at home and abroad. It was one of those relationships where you don't need to keep in touch but when you do see each other it's like it was only yesterday that you saw each other last and have loads to chat about.
Then, 1 week later I find out that my mum is jetting over to Florida because my aunt had an accident and was unlikely to survive. My mum got there the day before she died. I was extremely close to this aunt as we had lived together from the age of about 10 - 22, she never married until late in life and never had kids. Telling my sister & I that she already had kids....us.
My OH and I were planning our wedding to be in Florida and it was only a couple of months ago that she went to some venues and town halls for information leaflets for us. She ws so happy that we had chosen to have our wedding over there with her :cry:
So...to try and cut this extremely long story down to just a long essay. I have not felt like planning or cooking. Basically I couldn't have given a fig.
We buried the cat in the garden. I had to wait nearly 2 weeks for my cousins funeral (Autopsy) and we had our own little farewell drinks to my aunt on the day and time of her cremation and memorial.
Then last weekend we had a wedding which all went t1t's up and we ended up stopping at a chinese restaurant on the way home.
And last but not least, my sister and family surprised me on Sunday morning with 4 bottle of red wine, a small bottle of bacardi for me and then went out for a huge Chinese take out which they brought home....but at least I still lost 0.5 that week....lol. How??? I have no idea
So that is my tale of woe, just in case any one wondered where I'd sloped off too
September is a brand new month and one which I hope is going to be a damned sight happier :sigh:
