I have never liked waiting, so faced with yet another wait, I am more confused than ever. Half of me would love to have a good think, to sort out the muddle in my head. And to be honest, I have tried to think it out. But whatever is going on inside my head, it…

I have been quiet this week, trying to come to terms with the latest developments. First, though, I had to get over the colossal disapointment that I wasn’t fit enough. I have been exercising regularly every day since last March. Have I been wasting my time, was the set routine just not good enough, or…

I was hoping that when I woke up this morning he would be gone, but the moment I opened my eyes, I sensed he was still around. All my life, I have been subjected to dark, depressive moods to such an extent they seemed normal. Something that happened on a regular basis to me and…

Just when I thought this world couldn’t get any worse, that we had already seen enough disasters, suffered enough injustice and fought our way through disappointment after disappointment to be immunised against any more pain, there was so much more. I heard it coming, we all did. More of the same, we thought, expecting to…

Today was one of ‘those’ days. You know the ones I mean, the ones you wish you hadn’t bothered getting up for. First off, the PC kept crashing, five times in all when I was trying to read our email, so my mood was deteriorating fast. I had recently tried to clear the computer cache…

Jesse turned up again today. I had been feeling predictably edgy for some days now, but hadn’t given him a thought. My routine was all to hell and my workload suffering because of it. I was forgetting what I was doing, right in the middle of doing it! The impending radiotherapy was starting to haunt…

Jesse was waiting for me when I came down stairs this morning, and for probably the first time ever, I did not resent his arrival. Those sorrowful eyes echoed my own and I did not feel so very alone any more. I used to resent his arrival, knowing the black mood that threatened to descend…

Round about now, quite a lot of those people who made New Year resolutions are feeling guilty, as most of their good intentions have fallen by the wayside. I didn’t make any resolutions. Not much point really, for all the things I would love to change have evaded any control on my part for years.…

The weather has turned and not for the better. It is freezing and wet outside. Dark, miserable skies that match my mood, and I sense a non-active day descending and I am in no mood to fight. I check my emails and notes, but my heart just isn’t in it. Nothing for it, I would…
