Ok, so the last few days haven't been very exciting (hence the lack of updates).
Yesterday was probably the most interesting.
We have some Canadian friends and they had invited us and a load of other people over for something called a 'Sugar Shack party'. It's kind of a tradition for their family and they used to have a party every year back in Canada. It's all about the tapping of maple trees to get the sap to make maple syrup and basically the party involves a lot of food and a lot of maple syrup.
In fact, everything has maple syrup in it! It was really cool. ^^
I did a little too much though. Their garden backs into some woods and I went walking with some friends and ended up climbing hills and playing hide and seek etc. So I'm feeling rather tired today to say the least.
Mum and I are arranging another trip to London to see another Cirque du Soleil show in January. I'm really looking forward to it. The one we went to this January was fantastic so next year should be even better and we're hoping to go with a few more people.
My joints have been terrible recently. I'm seeing a specialist in April and he's going to check out my knees and ankles because they are the worst. My physio says it's all stemming from my lax ligaments and that I just need to strengthen them but that they'll always been a little painful because of my hypermobility. I just hope this specialist will come up with something.
Mum asked me hang the washing out while she went to pick up Max from school and I took the dry, already ironed, clothes outside by mistake. :P Good job mum caught me before I started ti hang it up. Haha! Brainfog. :P
There's something going on with cousin and I don't know what. She just seems down. The last time we spent the day together she spent the whole time moaning about how she'd pulled her muscles during her dance classes (she's taking dance for GCSE) and it really ticked me off so as horrible as it sounds I don't really want to phone and see what's up because I can't take her complaining. :( I sound so horrible, don't I.
I'm really anxious about the Easter hols. My nan phoned mum the other day in tears about how she feels she's lost touch with Max and I and that she'd really love to spend some time with us so mum went straight ahead and said that Max and I would go and stay with her and Grandad for a week over Easter. Now the plans have changed slightly and it's just going to be me that's staying with them.
Now, I love my Grandparents very much but I REALLY don't want to spend 5 days with them on my own. I find it difficult enough when we go as a family for a weekend.
I hate being away from home for too long and my grandparents are exactly understanding about my ME. They now I'm ill but they just don't understand. Last time I stayed with them I had a really bad ME day and just wanted to stay in bed but my nan said that there was no way I could possibly feel as bad as she did (she has arthritis and so is in a lot of pain).
Since then my nan's health has got worse and she uses a scooter to get around outside of the house so I'm afraid that she'll be even less sympathetic towards me now. :(
I really want to ask my mum if we can change the arrangement so that I only spend 2/3 days with them instead of 5 but I don't know what to say and I'm afraid mum will get angry. I can already hear in my head what she'll say to me.
"You hardly every see your Grandparents. 5 days with them won't kill you."
