Best Laid Plans...

I had it all planned. It was going to be such fun. Travelling to Holland, and meeting up with people I had come to know over the past year, through the chat rooms and Blogville. My bag was virtually packed from the day it was suggested to have a Euro-based Bloggers Convention. But you know what they say about the best-laid plans of mice and men...

It started in late October. My back was going out more than I was at the time, and I spent weeks in excrutiating agony, high on pills, low on morale and wondering if I was ever going to see the end of this terrible time.

That time also kick-started another life-changing moment... losing weight. Now, only if you had met me before October, would you know that I have actually lost a lot of weight. Lol, we're not talking "half the girl I once was" to coin a phrase my dad used, but losing almost a third of my body weight is and was going to have a serious impact on my life. To say that it has changed my life is a serious understatement. It has. End of story. Well, not quite "end of story". Losing weight has helped with my medical woes, to a certain degree, but not completely.

This past week I went to have my *major medical moment*... an MRI, and now I wait. And while I wait, I cry inside, because I have to unpack my suitcase, and put away my clogs and tulips. Sadly, I am no longer able to commit myself to travelling to Leiden, and next weekend, while friends and fellow bloggers meet and greet, talk, drink and party the night away, I will be curled up on my sofa, feeling very sorry for myself. Sometimes a person just has to bite the bullet, and admit defeat, and I am doing that now.

It's just too much to cope with, right now, and my wallet is also feeling the pinch of cars breaking down at inopportune moments, tyres being shredded and needing replacement, and sadly, when you drive expensive cars, you pay expensive prices to have them repaired.

To say I am disappointed would be a total understatement. However, I hope that everyone going to Leiden next weekend has a wonderful time, and I hope I get to read all about your Dutch adventures in your blogs once you get back home!



Love, hugs and kisses from ♥♥HH♥♥

Getting back to full health should be your priority. Trips will come round again. Health problems always dominate your life but you must stay focused on the positive side. You will be fine ,you will be travelling again and always be blogging.

Hope that from waiting there will be no cancelling forever.
And if you need a comfortable taxi to the dutch fields of tulips let me know.

Take care.
