I’ve been wearing tinted glasses since I was 12 years old. I started out with dark green but very quickly moved to orange. I’ve had a fair few pairs of orange tints.

The Rehab Saga: weekend recap and balance training
This is the start of my last week its also the last of my 5:30am starts!

21st day in rehab (sneaky visit home to watch Grey's Anatomy, the GF Easter bunny)
I had a layin of a whole half an hour this morning before scrambled egg on toast and getting up and dressed.

I spent most of the morning reading in bed…Continue reading 21st day in rehab (sneaky visit home to watch Grey's Anatomy, the GF Easter bunny)

15th day in rehab (dealing with the emotional rollercoaster of chronic illness + back pain & vintage bargain shopping)
Today marks week 5 of my 1st ever hospital admission, and since the 1st half of the day was spent doing sod all I thought I’d reflect on a few things.
