Hello, Melly here :-)

Hey all.

I deleted my account. Don't ask. I've been really ill for 10 days or so, lying in bed with a monster fever and questionable reasoning skills, stabbing blindly at my laptop occasionally in a futile attempt to communicate with the outside world and mostly just deleting stuff I needed and putting things in places I'll never find them, ever again. Apparently my old account still appears active and people can send messages to it, but I cant access it nor read them so if you have messaged me, I'm sorry, I didn't get it.

I've never been so completely and utterly taken down by a bout of the flu but this defeated me. I must have somehow accidentally contracted Man-Flu. I was so defeated that I actually asked my ex-husband for help! I know, but it gets even more shocking. I'm now taking antibiotics. (For secondary infections). Being a naturopathy student I'm sure most of you know how far through deaths doorway I need to be before I will swallow one of those things!

lol.

Anyway, the new name is something I was called by a caring relative when I was a child. Somewhere along the way all the shame and nonsense from childhood and the circumstances under which I last saw that relative turned it into something I kept from my mind. But shame and I aren't such good friends anymore; and the dysfunctional family nonsense of the past is so irrelevant these days,  and the name makes me smile.

Today, I am celebrating 2 things.

Firstly, the fact that I was finally well enough today to get up, get on a bus and go to the doctor. Yes, that is ridiculous, but frankly, I'm happy I was well enough to go anywhere, really. I croaked at the bus driver, the receptionist, the doctor AND the chemist. It was the most social interaction I've had all week. lol.

More importantly, I've just opened a letter telling me that my daughter has been offered a place in the accelerated learning program at the girls secondary school she so desperately wants to go to next year. She wants this so much, and had to do a 3 hour exam (a 3 hour exam! for an 11 year old!) and interview etc. The program allows a small group of kids the chance to do years 7-10 in 3 years instead of 4, and from there they can choose to do university units in their senior years, or do exchange programs, or, whatever they want, really. It's only offered to a small group of kids so it's really exciting and it guarantees her a place at that school which she isn't otherwise eligible for.  Anyway, this is huge news and I can't tell anyone, not even grandma because it's daughter's news to tell, not mine. But I can blab it here and no-one will ever know!!! I'm just so happy for her!!!!!!

That's about it. Hope everyone here is well

(((everyone)))
