20TH BLOG!!!!!!!

20.

Hello my loves, it's been about a week now, I've been working everyday trying to get more money so me and Rob can save for a house! Please forgive me for the distance.

I made the 20 extra big because I think it's cool that this is my 20th blog :) and you've all stuck by and read the thoughts from my brain no matter how dull or weird they are, you have read them, you're reading them right now (if you haven't closed the webpage down by now anyway)

I am listening to Alexisonfire again, but I'm listening to their 2009 album Old Crows/Young Cardinals. I'm miming along and air drumming...yes I'm an air drummer!! I like to think that one day my air drumming skills will be put to the test and we will all discover that I'm a fantastic drummer! My uncle Ronnie was a fill in drummer for the band Nazareth, at least I think he was, I know he was their lighting guy, again I could be wrong. I was very young when I got told this information, anyway that's completely useless information but *Hi uncle Ronnie :)*

Right I'm not going to lie, nothing has really happened in my week. 

I have passed my second booklet of my Dementia Care course just one more booklet to go and then I can figure out any further study I might want to take up because this course doesn't give me any huge qualifications just the knowledge of stuff but we all need knowledge so it's a good thing :)

I have set up a Just Giving page so that you lovely folks and others can donate towards the 10K we are doing, you don't have too as I know pretty much everything is about giving money somewhere but my goal is to raise £500 and I have around 7/8 months to reach that goal. I would appreciate it greatly if you were to donate towards it. So far we have raised £85, I have put the link in below for you just incase :)

I went for a walk tonight with Rob and we walked just less than 4 miles. I don't do running, I never have, I'm one of those people BUT I...JOGGED, yes I know! I jogged in random bursts for about a minute each but I did jog, until cars appeared then I immediately stopped, head down and walked hoping they didn't see but again I surprised myself, at one point my goal was to jog to a lamp post and a car was on it's way and I carried on jogging. I clocked him staring at me as he drove past which made me feel very embarrassed which I shouldn't have done really because I have as much right as anyone else, just because I wibble wobble a bit more than others that shouldn't offend them. Bastards


Also this week in the land of Beth a.k.a ME I have decided that I want to get a new tattoo, you can see my forearm is slightly coloured in on the picture above, I want to add to that! I want to get a cardinal bird tattoo'd on the back of my forearm to fill a space that will enable me to start getting the top of my arm tattoo'd. 



Aren't they pretty!!! So that is my mission at the end of the month, to get my tattoo booked and done while I'm off at the end of October beginning of November. I CAN'T WAIT FOR FIREWORKS. 

Oh, this week I have noticed that I might be slightly OCDish. It's weird but I like to have the same two sandwich fillings in my sandwiches on certain days. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday I like to have peanut butter and on a Wednesday I mix it up by having a nutella sandwich - that in itself is odd enough I know it's odd in my head but now written down it's much more ridiculous. Anyway on Wednesday this week I ran out of nutella so I had to have peanut butter and then I had to have nutella on Thursday, completely threw my sandwich routine out the window and until Saturday when my sandwich routine went back to it's normal day I felt very out of sync and as if something bad was going to happen because I had to alter my days. HOW MAD IS THAT!! I shake my head in disbelief writing this to you guys because it is that stupid! but at the time felt quite major! How anyone puts up with me is a mystery, maybe you all like me because of my quirks.?

I'm sorry nothing exciting has happened, I have nothing major to report, after tomorrow I am working all week again but tomorrow I plan a day of Sims 4 and another walk when Rob gets home from work. Maybe I will jog some more! :D

Thank you for helping me guys...with everything!

Much love
Beth xx

50. Hello my loves. WOW we've made it to the fiftieth blog post, if you're reading this one and you've read all of the ones before, thank you for sticking with me and my public diary entries. If you are new to my posts then Hello and welcome to my life, my little world of, well, I'm not to sure...this. I'm listening and watching Sia - Elastic Heart, I absolutely love this song and I love the video! It's so incredibly powerful , I watch it without knowing what it is that is keeping me so drawn to it (maybe Shia's body...) but seriously please go and watch it, don't read the comments of the video if it's the first time you're watching it and let me know what you believe it is portraying. I won't tell you what I believe because I don't want my view to alter what you may initially feel.      I feel like it might be a good time to update you guys on my Dad. By the way, everything I write is solely my feelings and from my point of vie

In difficulty there is strength and laughter

53. Hello my loves... This may seem like a very strange time, some may think I shouldn't write at all right now but as I'm just sat here, waiting, I feel I should (plus I've been given permission from my sister Kellie and Rob) On Wednesday 4th February, which seems like a lifetime ago, I got a phone call to say things with Dad had took a turn and we all needed to get to the home as time was looking short. I can't explain the fear that was going through me. The panic was so strong I was physically shaking until i got to the home to see him.  I had no idea what to expect, what had happened or what was going to happen, I just had to go with it. I guess we all do when faced with these extremes.  I have to admit I was pretty shocked to see that once the sedation had worn off he was back to his smiley self, even dancing along to the music.  But we knew it was serious when they said he was now completely nill by mouth, no food, no liquid.  An influx of fa

Our story with MND so far..

6.  These are my feelings and my thoughts, no one else's, just mine. In June 2013 my Dad was dealt the card of Motor Neurone Disease, a horrible disease. MND attacks the central nervous system and causes muscles to weaken and waste away. People with MND have to struggle everyday with activities that wouldn't have affected them before. It can be different with each person but sadly the outcome is always the same, there are no survivors, only true fighters! There is no cure... In some cases of MND the person can also have Frontotemporal Dementia. A less common form of dementia but nevertheless devastating. My Dad also has this... I first realised that something wasn't quite right around January 2013, my dad and I were sat in a cafe and he couldn't open a folded lottery ticket my exact words to him were "can't you use for hands or something" his reply was "no, my hand has got really weak" I asked him to make a fist with his right han
