june: the forgotten month

I guess the title of the forgotten month kinda sums June up. It is a month I certainly want to forget for quite a few reasons.
Don’t get me wrong, a few things in June really rocked (Manics in Brighton, Nicole’s Wedding and the Rally), but the rest…. well. Let’s just say we had a major reality check last month and it’s really shaken me.
What made it so bad? The waiting. The continual waiting. In fact we are still waiting. We found out last month that my Mom has cancer. Luckily they can do a lot for it and hopefully within a year she should be well on her way to a full recovery, but that doesn’t make it any easier to deal with… so I’ll try write down some of my thoughts here. Right now we’re waiting for a few more scans to be done and then the treatment can begin – hopefully before the end of the month. I know that certain things have to be done and these of course take time but the waiting is so frustrating. If this is how I feel, can’t imagine how Mom feels about it. I wish they could just start the treatment already and then in no time this nightmare will be over. It still feels so surreal… reading through the booklets of how it is going to be treated, side effects etc… is very scary. You always read/hear about these things happening to other people, but you never imagine that it would happen to someone so close to you.
I know this probably just sounds like a lot of rambling at the moment, but I really need somewhere to vent it right now.
I’ll keep updating this, but I generally like to keep my blog as a happy place these days so only good news on here from now on I promise (and hopefully there will be a lot of that!)

In other news (lol) I have finally finished editing the wedding photos! And I have also uploaded the rest of my Party Crasher Tour videos onto YouTube.

And now for something new and exciting (!!!) for le blog…

Song of the moment: Solsken by Gyllene Tider. Pure summer music.
Currently Loving: John Cusack. In any way, shape or form hahah! But preferably in High Fidelity.
Currently Loathing: Stupid childish people who ought to know better by now.
Currently Wishing: That I could get a Beetle.
Looking forward to: Going to Harrogate & Harewood House for the next Rally in August

(hopefully I’ll put these on all the future posts, but who knows… I’m crap at this sort of thing!)

Last but not least, here is one of my videos from the London Show:
