Things

Thursday, April 19, 2012


Sorry for the radio silence.

At the start of the week, I was too busy trying to track down an elusive skirt, one that was just the right shade of corally-pink and just the right length and pleated just so. These things take time, you know. These things are important.

I found it hiding in a faraway shop, and was forced to rely on the kindness of strangers to bring it home to me. I asked the internet for help, and it answered. You people are wonderful.

Then my week took a turn for the worse. More of a lurch than a turn, actually. Now I am waiting for news, battling that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach, the hard lump in my throat where laughter should be. I am less inclined to fret over a pink skirt or a neglected blog. These things aren't so important, after all.

I have used up this week's internet magic quota already. I won't ask you for good vibes or crossed fingers - I'm not sure they make much difference anyway. What will happen will happen regardless. But I would ask for your patience. I am short of words this week. Please bear with me.

    :( I've given up saying 'hope you're OK' because it always sounds empty and meaningless. So I will revise it to 'hope you're OK insofar as the circumstances permit any measure of OK-ness'. It probably doesn't help, but I am having a similar, lurching, weird week. Neglected blogs are, indeed, not worth worrying about xx

    That sick feeling in the pit of your stomach and the hard lump in your throat are the worst. I'm so sorry. I truly hope you get good news.

    Wish I could give you a real hug instead of the crappy internet kind.
