Sea Sick for You


For those who have been reading my blogs, thank you! Some of you, being my best mates in the world will also know that I've been quiet lately. I've put it down to the fact that falling off the planet seems a lot easier than treading lightly.

Through all this ridiculous mahem of uncertain change, family heart-break, loss and organised chaos I have maintained one feeling through it all, sea-sickness. And no! To all of my theatrical beings out there, it was never pregnancy as that would indicate Mary and I have way too much in common! So if I can really put you into my picture, place yourself slap bang in the middle of the sea (choose ur spot in piccie!) There's not much ahead and very little behind. It's just you, unfortunately Leo didn't make it for this ship, and worst of all you can't find any crackers to distract the upset. Apparently ginger bread biscuits help too but I'm not really into ginger, if you know what I mean:)

Anyway for those wondering, how is lil Stace? I'm temporarily unavailable, on a boat experiencing intermittant waves of salty sea-sick nausea- yes, a traffic light not turning green is as if a 10ft wave is heading for my floating device! Although it sounds strangely dismal, I will also say that every now and then I have come across something pleasantly surprising in this murky water and have even met a random bird who 'stopped by just to say hello'.

So just give me some time and I'll steer my way to land again.
God knows I'll make it home for Macaroni and Cheese and Carte Blanche (either that or I'll Eat Pray Love my way to the end!)

For those sitting there thinking, "What the carrots is she talking about?"

If I love you, and you're happy
I'll smile.
If you're sad, and you're upset
I'll cry.

It's in my nature
to feel what you're feeling too
And if anything
I'm sea-sick for you
