Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans....

Huh.
Summary: didn't do Loch Tay quadrathalon. But did do the 'Big Ben Nevis' half triathalon. Touted as the toughest off-road tri in the UK. It was the hardest but the bestest thing me and G have done. completed september 2010. Same year as the BEST TIME OF MY LIFE. 3 weeks in South Africa, with family Mendes. for the world cup. Special times. I've probably said it before, but I am so blessed/lucky/special to be related to these people I call my family. I am still learning from them all.


Anyway,enter 2011. The rollercoaster continues. I am entering the 8th week of sick leave. Och it's a long and boring story but it is the biggest challenge of my wee life so far. I'd like to think I am improving in the fight to return to my life. I have good bits of kit in my toolbox to help me: The people in the photo above. Amazing friends. Humour. The sea. Music. The sun. Trees. And who could do anything without a series or 3 of Kath & Kim and Father Ted.
This song I think sums it up so far.... (you will have to copy and paste into your URL cos I can't figure out how to do it any other way! It's worth it for the song by the way!)

Lyrics below:
"Choir" - Malcolm Middleton

There’s a choir behind me
Egging me on
Placing their bets and hoping I’ll do no wrong
I’ll do no wrong
There’s a guy inside me
Biding his time
Standing in line and waiting for me to fall
For me to fall
Self-preservation threatens us all
Health deterioration comes to us all
There’s a fag beside me
Waiting to be lit
Trying to trick me
And make me forget I’ve quit
I forget I’ve quit
I take a risk everyday when I get up
Do I try harder?
Or continue to fuck up
Fuck up
There's a bear in my bed
Wanting to be loved
Eyes like marbles
All he needs is a hug
My beginner’s luck is wearing thin
I’ll need to rely on skill if I'm going to win
I’m going to win
