An emotionally draining weekend

I am falling asleep as I write this.  It is just past midnight on Monday morning and I an curled up in my bed ready to go to dreamland and bring an end to a very anxiety filled weekend.

I have a couple of appointments and deadlines coming up this week that I’ve been busy preparing for.

I also have to go somewhere new this week and that is always worry because I don’t know how easy it will be for me to navigate the public transport.

Fun Fact Friday [40]

Hello and welcome to Fun Fact Friday, the place where I share facts about myself that aren’t linked to my Cerebral Palsy.

I have a feeling a lot of you will be saying ‘yeah, me too’ when you read today’s little fun fact.

Zombie Girl

This morning I felt like the title of this post should’ve been my new name.  Nic ‘Zombie Girl’ Golding has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?

I am definitely the kind of person who thrives in being busy,  and the last couple of weeks have certainly been that,  what with making extra videos abd blog posts,  going to the cerebral palsy football world championships,  and father’s day yesterday.

Today though the only thing I wanted was a bit of a rest. I’ve done a lot more walking this week than I probably have in the last couple of months. That is also a wonderful feeling because if I have a period of time where I don’t spend as much time on my feet,  I start to panic that I’ll lose my stamina.
