FYSOT!

FIND YOUR SENSE OF TUMOUR!

2012

Hello boys and girlie's I'm actually doing a proper blog, I know shocking! Hold on to your seat belts your in for a bumpy ride.

 I just wanna say a massive thank you to TCT ( Teenage Cancer Trust) for holding an awesome conference and for letting me attend! I had an A-M-A-ZING time and I wanna shout out to all my "cancer friends" and a BIG shout out to TEAM MARSDEN! Oh and thank you Centres Parks for putting up with us! So for anyone that went to FYSOT and is reading this I think your AWESOME! Oh oh and one more thank you to Kim, Louise and Sarah for making sure I got there and just making the trip extra awesome.

I went to a few of the conferences and I gotta say I've never been so inspired to make BIG things happen. Not only were the talks inspiring but just the people that surrounded me are all really awesome, it was very over whelming but in a great way. Just one of the stories  that springs to mind is about the first cancer survivor to climb Mt Everest not only that but he has only one lung which is just crazy. I have so much respect for him and was lucky enough to meet him and shake his hand. I geeked out a little and I don't think being drunk helped much either, I don't think I showed myself up to much. But did ask if I could steal one of his wrist bands which says "keep climbing" and now a new accessory of mine.

I've got way over an hour of footage to rummage through and a few photos to mash up a video with so I'm super excited to show you all the goings on at the FYSOT! Also if you want to see footage of the conference then check out the website jimmyteens.tv It's a great website and it features video blogging of people with cancer and other bits and bobs. I'm also in one of the videos and only feature for like 5 seconds but hey that's all the fame I'm gonna get for the time being. 

It was just an amazing experience that I will never forget, such a great place, great people and great atmosphere! Hopefully they will let me back next year, if not I'm inviting myself! 

Let's keep kicking cancers arse!

SETTING THE GOAL

Hello! Just a quickie, I made this video last week but haven't posted it yet. This video is to just let you know what challenge I've given myself, which is to complete this BMX track. My muscles are still weak and my fitness levels aren't great, so for me this is a big challenge. I'm slowly building myself up and my confidence to take it on!

I'm going to be doing a lot of these little challenges just to make losing weight and becoming stronger a lot more fun. Also I want to set myself some personal goals to keep me busy and have something to aim for. Gotta make sure I keep ticking off the "Bucket List". So stay tuned folks! 

Hope you enjoy the videos!

MOONSPRAY

Hello my little hooligans! Just another video I've uploaded to the world of Youtube, I hope you enjoy! Its just a slide show of pictures that were took while away sailing in September with The Ellen MacArthur Trust. I would of had some amazing footage but because I decided to go for a little swim, my camera is now sleeping with the fishes.

 I had the most amazing trip and can't thank the trust enough for the amazing experiences and memories they gave me! Also like to thank my amazing crew and others on the trip for just being awesome. 

I also put a few chords on guitar and edited it a little with garageband in the background for the video instead of the normal free music you get from imovie to change it up a bit. 

So I hope your all having an awesome week!

Love you billions!

PS. If your in any of the pictures and don't want them in my video just let me know and I will do my best to edit them out.

Little Tune.

Welcome back my little butter beans, I have a few things to share I've got a couple of videos I've made that I want to share with you guys! The first one is a little tune I made on garage band and the second one is my friend Wisam's Dj Debut. So check them out. I've got a few other topics I want to mention but I'm going to do another blog.

GAYBAND!

Gayband - Is just a silly video I made of me coming home on the train and I was messing around with Garageband and came up with a silly tune so I thought I'd put the two together. I'm a novice guitar player so don't expect amazing chords and epic solos its just me trying to put a tune together one evening. I did have a lot of fun messing around and the next one type of these videos I'm going to prefect my sound and make an awesome video!

WISAM'S DJ DEBUT!

DJ Debut - This is Wisam's first set on Rock Night at The Two Rivers Pub which happens every Wednesday. It was a great night catching up with people I hadn't seen for a long time. Also Wisam's set was great and went very well. I do apologise about the lighting I had to put the weird effect in so that it was easier to see people. 

So I hope you check out the videos and enjoy!

SPLASHING AROUND.

Hello guys and girls once again I've not blogged for a very long time and this is becoming a regular occurrence which needs to stop. I've been busy with a few things and lately my head hasn't had enough time to chill and clear its self from the blockage of rubbish that fills it. I'm in need of a delete button or a rubbish bin to click, drag and drop in. But I've found a spare few minutes at the Hospital and will tell you all about my sail on the seven seas, I mean solent..

So just a few weeks ago I went on an amazing sailing trip with the The Ellen MacArthur Trust. It was such an amazing trip and I wont forget it anytime soon. The people were amazing and the whole experience was just awesome. I was very lucky to be able to go because the week before I had got a temperature and my blood counts were very low so I scrapped onto the trip which I'm so glad I got to go and didn't have to miss out on such a good time. So thanks to Sarah, Kim and the Doctors and nurses that got me prepared for the trip! 

Monday - we set off from the Marsden around 9-10, It was a bit nerve racking going as I didn't know any of the people that were on this trip but luckily we all clicked on the journey up to Southampton. We got the ferry over to the Isle of Wight which was very bumpy indeed. It was like being on a roller coaster and it was pretty fun, though I was worrying if my stomach could take much more. When we got to the Isle of Wight we got a water taxi over to Cowes which is were the trust is based. We all got to meet the skippers and volunteers that would be joining us on the trip, we played team building games and got to know each other and our crew a little better. I was on the boat Moonspray with Claire, Fredrick, Alan Alex the two volunteers that were Ben and Sarah and our skipper Dan.  Later that night some of the guys went in the pool and played a very competitive game of water polo which if I'm honest though not playing I was very into it and was cheering them on like I had money on it. 

Tuesday -  We got ready and got acquainted with a few basics on the boat and then we set sail to Southampton - Ocean Village. We all got a little go at steering and it was pretty fun as it was choppy on the water, we saw some amazing yachts as we pulled up into Ocean Village. That night we spent chatting and playing games in the Red Scarlet boat. 

Wednesday - We sailed to Yarmouth which was a longer journey and we got to learn how to tack and tie ropes and all sorts. When we got to Yarmouth we got the bus to visit the needles which was very pretty just a bit of a trek down the side of the mountain. Also are boat Moonspray held a quiz that night which went down pretty well. 

After the quiz me and Darren thought we would do some crabbing on the side of the dock Dave, Adele, Claire and Dan also joined us while sat on the side. One of the Volunteers got of the boat behind us and started walking towards us before I knew it I was in the water and swimming to reach the side. The guy had slipped and meant to grab the side but grabbed me instead. So we both ended up in the drink, I couldn't believe it out of everyone it had to be me! My luck eh? I was pulled out within seconds and no harm was done, other then my phone and camera are now resting in peace. I got a mega hot shower and was sent to bed when we got back to the boat. So yes I fell in like everyone said I would you all jinxed me! Thank you very much!

Thursday - We set off and sailed to see the needles from the view of the boat which was lovely then we headed for a little place which I've forgotten the name of! We had a surprise waiting for us when we got there. We got to go on rig boats which travel over 50mph over the waves and racing the others was such good fun. Later that evening we had a BBQ on the beach and watched the sunset. We also had a salad and dessert contest which each boat had to make ether one and then they would be judged on which was the best one. Claire on our boat made some amazing chocolate blueberry muffins with cream and strawberries. Also the other boats made Eton mess, chocolate cornflakes, rocky road and cupcakes. In all it was a pretty good mix of goodies!

Friday - A last day on the boat and I woke up to one of the skippers saying about a seal so I got up quick and got on deck to see a little seal bobbing up from the sea looking back at us which just made the trip perfect. Then we got all are bits together and then headed back to Cowes were we started. It was very sad it had to end but it was such a great trip and hopefully they will have us back next year! Hopefully no late night swimming for me unless I've gone in of my own free will.

So that was my trip away I've probley

www.ellenmacarthurtrust.org - I've been quoted on the website in the news section under 18-24's click the link if you wanna check it out. 

Anyways guys I'm off to go chill I've had some chemo today at the Hospital and its starting to kick in, so I think I might go have a snooze!

Take care and keep smiling!

LEGOLAND

Hey peoples! This video is of my day out to Legoland with the boys, bro, sister and mum. We got the disabled passes and got to go on everything with ease. We had such an awesome day but very long and tiring but very worth it, to see the boys faces on the rides. Sorry its taken a while to edit and then I forgot to share it. Silly me, I'm in fundraising mode.

I had a lumber puncture Monday and that went fine, really quick actually I was rather impressed with the doctor who did it. Other then that not to much to report, I'm off to Norfolk tonight to see Sarah's family and friends. So should be a nice weekend away though it looks like we get to sleep in a barn or caravan, but it sounds like fun! 

Also starting to arrange a fundraiser for Dave my brother in law, who is running the marathon for the charity CLIC Sargent. I'm really excited to be doing this and my brain is exploding with what I want to do and what the next step is. I'm just on a mission to get raffle prizes and planning to go to local shops and companies and hopefully get some awesome prizes for the raffle, I'm just hoping that there feeling in a generous mood. Also I think it will be a good night for everyone as I've got a disco and planning surprise events through out the night. I just hope it all goes to plan. I just want to thank everyone that has shown so much support and donated a prize! 

Take care and keep smiling!

HELP! HELP! HELP!

Hello ladies and gents, I'm here on an important matter and would like to ask you all for a massive favour. As most of you know by now I've set up a fundraising page on my facebook and if you didn't know please go and have a look and click that cheeky link that says join. So your thinking what doe's she want now? Well I'll get straight to the point, I'm going to be holding a fundraising event at the end of November to raise money for my brother in law. He is running the marathon for the charity Clic Sargent, we need to raise over £3000. I'd like for you all to attend this event but my big massive favour is I need raffle prizes, so if any of you amazing people have a bottle of spirit or wine that you don't really want or if you think your work or company might be able to donate something more or a voucher. I would really appreciate anything anyone could donate for this event. If you have a donation please contact me via Facebook or email at ktseedwell@hotmail.com.

I'll let you know more about the event after the weekend but need to finalise some of the details first. But I can tell you that it will be fancy dress and a disco, so bring your dancing shoes! Also there will be a donation ticket to enter but this entitles you to a buffet and a free strip of raffle tickets and a entry to the most awesome fundraiser of your life!

So I'm off to go get my fundraising thinking cap on and come up with some more awesome ideas for the night. Just wanna say a massive thank you for all the support and the donations that I've already got!

Take care and keep smiling!

BEWARE OF TRAINS!

Hey guys and girlie's! This is a video of the first day the boys came to stay on the 24th of July 2011, we had such a brilliant time and the boys loved it and wanted to go back again and again. It was a little family day out with Teresa, Dad, Mum, Sarah, The boys and also myself. Its a little steam train place in Lynne which is perfect day out with young children and also big kids like me!

I just wanna say days out with my Nephews, family and my bestests of friends are awesome and I love to film it and be able to look back at though's days to remind me of what matters most and also for you guys to watch and experience it. I'm so great full to be able to do this and I love every minute of it. I just wanna say my life has been pretty awesome lately and I'm so content with everything, I just wanna thank again everyone for there support these months and their kind words, I am truly blessed to have you all in my life and you've all been so amazing and encouraging. Thank you!

Well I'm of to Thorpe Park today to take advantage of the exit passes for disabled people, its a pretty good deal as you get your ticket and a helper ticket for one price which I think is around £30. Which is an awesome price, plus if you show the right documents they give you a band to put on your wrist so you get to get straight on the ride with out having to wait and stand to long in a Que which is awesome in these busy months. Only thing is you do get the dodgy looks when passing the people that have been stand for an hour or over, I just tend to not look directly in the eyes! I'm hoping to get some footage of the day out but I always get shy while holding the camera while being on a ride. Plus I don't wanna get told of but the ride attendants but we will see. Here's a link for people who wasn't aware of this scheme and who check it out! If you find it hard to understand the website also has a number you can call.

Also got a busy weekend we've got two parties on Saturday night Julie who's having 50th (Happy Birthday yesterday!) and My Nan's Nephew's 40th so were going to try fit both parties in. Its also a good way of seeing old faces that I haven't seen in a while and seeing loads of family which I also haven't seen in yonks. I always love going to these things to catch up and see what everyone is up to these days. Also Sarah is coming with me and most of my family haven't met her yet so that should be fun, and no doubt in embarrassing. All the stories will no doubt come out but its lucky for me that Sarah has probley met the maddest of my family already so she knows what to expect.

Well I'm offski I gotta get ready for Thorpe Park, Whoop! Whoop!

Take care and keep smiling!

Happy Days!

Hello you fine people! So its been a few weeks since I've last updated, I know, I know, bad Katie! But I've been a busy bee! But before I tell you all about that I have some awesome news to tell you. I went to the hospital yesterday and it looks like for the time being that I don't need a transplant and I'm going to be carrying on with the maintenance. Which for me is awesome as I get to start living my life again, well much as I possible can. So a bit of weight lifted of my shoulders that I had been carrying the last 3 weeks. Just want to thank everyone for the kind words and endless encouragement you keep me strong! I love you all!

So I started my chemo yesterday which was vincristine and I will have that every month and I'll have a lumber puncture every 3 months and I have to take Chemo tablets every day. I don't seem to be effected by the chemo as yet, but we will see what happens over the next couple of weeks. I'm due back at the Royal Marsden in two weeks time for the Lumber puncture and check up.

So your wondering what I've been up to? Well me and my best friend Matt went to Amsterdam for a few days which was awesome. I can't wait to go again, such a fun and interesting place to visit. Also got my legs working again as I haven't walked that much in a very long time, I was a little crippled but I'm now feeling better for it. Then when I got back my Nephews of four and six came over to stay the week which involved Lego land, several parks, museums, paddling pools, castle crashers, big sticks, water balloons, football and all sorts of dinosaurs. Oh so very tiring but a lot of fun. Then my best friend Zaz came to stay the weekend just gone and that also involved paddling pools and water balloons and a nice trip to Richmond for some drinks and a boogie. Which I really enjoyed and had such a great time and luckily the weather has been awesome for all of it.

I've got loads of photos and video footage for the past two weeks so a few videos over the next week will be popping up! I'm currently sitting in Sarah's flat and my mission is to get some of the videos done but I know I'll get distracted by youtube as I'm not update with my video blogging fix but I'll try and be strong and get these videos up. So I'm gonna go crack on with these videos, I hope your all well and enjoying that gorgeous sun!

Take care and keep smiling!

Stem Cell & Bone Marrow Donation.

Hey my fellow humans! I just stumbled across this video and thought it was great for people who are sitting on the fence about donating or for people who haven’t even thought about it. This video is just over 3 mins long and as scary as the title sounds the video makes the process look harmless, which it is! Think about it, a day out of your life could save someone else’s?  

For the people that are not sure what a Stem Cell Transplant is, click the link.

The thing is, this is a big deal for me as it may be me in the next couple of months having a Stem cell transplant. So getting a donor is really important, I think I have a few options from what my Leukaemia Nurse has said in the past. So fingers crossed that I have a match with someone, but I'm one of the lucky ones as theres lots of people that struggle to find a match. Yes I'm pulling on the heart strings so listen up! We all say this will never happen to us but in till it effects YOU or your FAMILY you don't do anything about it. Open your eyes people this is happening and as I said one day of yours can be traded to save another's life.

 

ITS AS EASY AS THAT VIDEO, THATS FRIGGIN CRAZY!

Nothing is 100% yet but I’m preparing myself for the next step and if I’m honest I’m very scared, but it doesn’t mean its going to get the best of me. I know a few people from the Royal Marsden, that have had a transplant and they’re doing great. There a real inspiration to me and the attitude of these people have given me the courage and determination to get through this. Such awesome beautiful people inside and out! I know its not going to be easy and I will have a long road a head of me but I'm lucky enough to be surrounded by awesome family and friends and I just wanna thank you all for being so amazing this last year! 

Lets keep kicking ass people!

So please go check this video out or at least get the message out there!

 Go have a peek! 

Take care and keep smiling you beautiful people!

That Birds Got Swagger!

Hey peoples! This vid is just a mash up of last weekend, I had a busy one having lunch in Richmond with Matt and sitting by the riverside. A few geese gotta a little to close but the sunset was gorgeous along the river. Saturday I spent with my bro at pub, we watched the band The SkaSouls which were such a buzzing band and they didn't take them self to seriously. Sunday I went and visited Sarah in London on South Bank, we walked along the river watching the street performers and enjoying the sights. I've messed around with this video a bit but I hope you enjoy it! 

I haven't really been up to much this week, I had a major clear out of my stuff and got rid of loads. I'm going to do a car boot Sunday to go towards my spending money for Amsterdam. Which is only 7 days away! I'm really looking forward to be going away even if its only 3 days, I'm in major need of a break. I'm hoping to have a few more video's up in the next few weeks as I've got quite a bit planned. Anyways off to chill, love you peoples!

Take care and keep smiling!

Zzzz...

Well I can't sleep! Doh! I shouldn't of had that three hour nap earlier. So anyways yesterday wasn't exactly the news I was hoping to get from the hospital. My results had come back but were showing a less then 1%  of cells that look like cancer cells, but they still can't tell after two bone marrow tests. On the cells are these markers which appear on cancer cells but also normal cells. So because they don't know exact what is appearing in my results they are discussing wether or not I should have a transplant instead of carrying on with maintanance. I was a bit gutted after of a year of treatment and I was starting to get my life back but now this has popped up its a slight set back. But I've gotta stay positive as its not 100% that I've gotta have a transplant but its one of the options. So I've got three weeks to see what the doctors come up with they said that they need to contact a few specialists around the world and get there opinions. So I'll keep you all updated in the next couple of weeks with whats happening. So I'm gonna try make the most of the next few weeks so Amsterdam here I come! One week to go! Off to sleep nighty night! :) x

LONDON GAY PRIDE 2011

Hey Geezers! I know its been a while, Its been a busy couple of weeks and this video is of last weekend of me and my mates at gay pride. It was a awesome day and I really enjoyed it was good to be back in London and having a good time with the gays again. I didn't get as much footage as I would of liked but I hope you enjoy the video!

I'm just editing the footage of the Sunday of the same weekend at Airplay studios, me and the guys went for a jam session and I had a really good time. I've really missed making music with them, it inspires me to keep playing my guitar as I've been a bit slack lately. Also its got me craving a drum kit, which always happens to me known again. I need to convince my mum that I NEED one!

Last Monday I had a bone marrow all went well except I kinda woke up from the sedation before they did it and felt a little pulling but it was okay other then that. I'm going back to the hospital tomorrow, I think I will get most of the results tomorrow but it takes around two weeks for the full results so maybe they wont tell me anything in till they have all the information. So I'll update you guys with the info as soon as I know whats going on.

Only 10 days to Amsterdam, I'm getting excited! Got my little travel guide like the tourist I am, the map pops out which also excites me! Right I'm off to bed now up early for the doc's! Night night my cherubs!

Take care and keep smiling!

Trophy Whore.

Hey peoples so I realised I've been mega lame on the blogging front, actually I've been pretty lame altogether these last couple of weeks. I've been slacking on my videos, blogs, twitter and photo booth the main reason for this is, I'm a trophy whore. Yes a trophy whore for those who do not know what one of these are well, Its a person who likes to collect trophies. Which are achievements you get when playing PS3 games, not the big metal things you keep on your mantel piece. I enjoy playing computer games but it seems to of got out of control trying to beat my brothers trophy score, I know I've got a problem. Anyways thats enough about my addictions, I'll update you with whats been going on.

So Monday I went to the doctors for a check up and just had my bloods tested, one of the reasons my counts weren't coming up very quickly was because I was lacking in folic acid so now I've got a tablet which helps with that so hopefully the counts should boost up now. The last couple of weeks I've been trying to build myself up and start to get these muscles working again. I've got to have another bone marrow on Monday the last one they couldn't get the exact results so on this bone marrow there going to use another technic on the blood to get the right results.

 I got some very sad news one of the gentlemen I speak to Mr Seymour, his cancer has come back and he's really not well and he said to me that it would be his last time up at the Marsden. So my thoughts are with him and his wife. A very nice man and a pleasure to meet him.

 I visited Sarah last weekend in Greenwich, which was really awesome and the weather was beautiful! This was the first time Id properly been out and ventured into London again. My legs really needed the workout and I feel better for it. The reason I'm trying to get the muscles back up and running is that I've booked to go away next month to Amsterdam which my bestie Matt and I want to be ready and able to enjoy it all.

Also this weekend is Gay pride in London so I'm going to that, I'll be videoing it. I missed out last year on my summer so I'm going to make the most of this one. Also got a few other things planned which I will mention nearer the time but I'm really looking forward to this summer.  Hope you all enjoyed the super hot weather! Also Friday night I'm going to a freak show, not to sure what to expect but I'll defo keep you posted.

I promise I'll update more I've got a few more events going on lately so I'll have better things to blog, tweet and vlog about!

Take care and keep smiling!

Speed Cleaning.

 

Hey guys and girlies, this is just a silly video I made while preparing for Sarah to come over. Its a only a quick one and I hope you enjoy it. I've got a couple of ideas for silly videos I want to do, I wanna use props and make up silly stories but not exactly sure if where to start. Any feedback would be great!

So just to update you guys on whats going on with me, I'm still waiting for the second bone marrow result which I think I will get next week. Which will kinda decide the next step of the treatment but I will discuss that nearer the time. Yesterday I had two bags of blood and two bags of platelets and today I'm having another bag of blood and platelets. I must of over did it cleaning my room, not that I need an excuse not to clean it. All my counts were pretty low and just walking a short distance was like running round the block. But I've been pumped full of the good stuff and feel a lot better. 

Take care and keep smiling!

I need me a bit of sunshine.

Hello you wonderful people, so I'm just sitting in out patients getting some of the A+ stuff. I finished the intense course on friday but still seem to be having the side effects which is this awful migraine which made me sleep pretty much all day sunday. It has started to shift but I can still feel my eyes being pretty heavy. I've taken these strong painkillers which seem to of helped mega loads but they make me drowsy so my eyes are slowly getting heavier. Which isn't good when your trying to write a blog.

Other then this headache everything seems to be going well, I had a bit of a scare because my counts weren't coming up so I had a bone marrow. Which has come back in remission which is good I just have to wait for the other results. Which might takes us in another direction but we can go down that road as it comes but as I said everything is going pretty well.

The next thing now is to build myself up, ready for maintenance then hopefully I can go back to work and get back into the swing of things. My hair seems to be coming through quite quickly I can't wait to have some kind of style again. These little things make a big difference.

So a bit of subject change, I noticed on facebook a lot of people are off on their holidays, which I'm gonna be honest I'm mega jealous! I've been craving the beach for weeks now and I was suppose to go to cornwall with the family saturday but because my treatment was delayed I've had to stay at home. The weather hasn't been to great for them apparently but I think its been good enough to sit on the beach, I know the boys would sit on there in a storm. Well hopefully it will be me on my holidays soon, but I can't seem to make up my mind where to go, any suggestions?

Well I'm offskies see ya peoples!
Take care and keep smiling!

SPOON FIGHT!

Hey peoples, did you all have a good bank holiday? Well this video is just a quick update of my bank holiday monday, which was pretty chilled out and I really enjoyed it. Its a pretty silly video but I think it worth a watch, me and Sarah had a good giggle at trying to play the key board and making chocolate cornflakes.

I've nearly finished this course of treatment and tomorrow will be my last day. This chemo hasn't been to bad, I was feeling pretty sick but thanks to the anti-sickness injection I've been pretty good. Got a few things to mention but I'm gonna put that in another blog soon. Hope all you beautiful people are well!

Take care and keep smiling!

Never Give Up!

Hello ladies and gents, I just had a weird moment. I saw a Mr Seymour (I've mentioned him in a previous blog - Dr Batty) I hadn’t seen in a while and the doctors told him he had only months/weeks left when we saw him last. Apparently he’s doing better then ever and feeling fit and he actually looks better and well. It was really good to see him and I'm glad that what time he has left he is enjoying. Before he left he said to me "never give up" and it sent me straight into tears. So now I’m trying to contain myself in this crowded outpatients so no one sees. Luckily they walked off before they saw me get upset. Silly old me. I’m not sure why that happened. 

I feel honoured that he said that to me and it shows you that determination and strong heart will get you through. A lot of people have said I'm pretty positive and I have a good outlook on life but thats only because I'm surrounded by amazing people that remind me everyday the reason to be strong and keep fighting. I lose my way sometimes but I get back on track with a kick up the arse, but don't we all? So what ever happens stay positive because your come out better on the other side. 

 

So I’ve just had some chemo and now I’m on fluids which take about 4 hours. Currently got an hour and 26 mins left but starting to feel the effects of chemo already and my eyes have got really heavy. I want to sleep but I've just had lots of sweets so the sugar wont let me. Doh! Not long left now on the clock but the battery on my laptop is going to die soon. 

It also sucks because its my 2 year anniversary with my girlfriend is today but she got stuck up in Scotland last night, when she was suppose to fly home and come back to mine. The flight was cancelled and she’s had to get a ride back today but because I’m at hospital I wont be home when she gets the train to mine so I wont see her today. Which sucks mega lots! Super lame but we can celebrate at the weekend.

I need a time machine. Please.

Take care and keep smiling!
