Month 3 Day 16

Hello One and All.
Just to fill you in since it has been a while since I last bothered to write.
1. I have submitted my childrens story for a competition.
2. We spent a fabulous day in London on Saturday visiting the V&A museum of Childhood, it was great to see that so many toys have survived through the ages. The kids had fun dressing up, and playing with all the goodies left out for them, of course the real good toys are all behind glass. Next we visited the Imperial War Museum which was marvelous and all I kept thinking of was my brother and how he could spend 10 days in the museum and still be interested in everything. I only wish I had more time to spend in the Holocaust exhibition, to see the pain that some inflicted on others was heartbreaking and knowing that somewhere somehow, my grandfather's cousins, aunties or uncles where subjected to such humiliation and pain. It was horrible to see and I was not the only person visibly upset by it.
3. My mother is not at all well and in the hospital, her heart is in a bad way and as a result her kidneys are also in a very bad way, to make matters worse she had a fall a few months ago and the doctor at the A& E told her it was just a bruise. The doctor looking after her now tells her, the break in the 12th vertibrae is clearly visible. So I am majorly (and please excuse the language) fucked off. You know I am a big believer in karma, what goes around comes around, but I know my mom and except for being a little bit bitter at the way her life has turned out, she has never intentionally harmed anyone. So trying to justify the physical pain she is in is hard. Anyway on a good note I have been speaking to her daily and besides being tired she is doing better.
4. I don't have a job from September 2011. I was really hoping after three years of volunteering and training I could settle down where I am now. Not going to happen - the budget cuts are now personally affecting me - so besides worrying about my mom I now have to start looking for a new job, AARG!
So after re-reading this it sometimes helps to feel sorry for yourself!
In love and light.
