A lot has happened since my last update. The main thing is that my mum had a stroke in October 2024. Unfortunately it was severe and despite seeming to initially recover, she is now completely dependent and living in a nursing home. The last year has been pretty stressful with a lot of time spent in hospitals. It feels like I've been grieving for a while now. I also went back into therapy to deal with my relationship with Mum and the impact it's had on my life.
There have been some positives. The kids are all well, Nicky did well enough in his GCSEs to stay on at the sixth form. After his exams I took him to a Paris for a few days, it was nice to spend some time with him and practice our French!
I also spent a few days in Barcelona and Berlin with friends. I'm hoping I might go on holiday on my own sometime this year if I can afford it, I think it'd be good for my confidence.
2025 threw a lot at me and I didn't do half of what I'd have liked to do. Hopefully I can start making progress on things in 2026.
