Oh it's a Jolly Holiday...

Hey there! Me again (obviously!)

I've finally had over 1,000 views! So thank you to everyone whose read the blog, it makes me real happy to know that after 12 blog posts of me blabbering on about stuff, people are still coming back and reading more :) so thanks! :D

So, at the moment, it's the Summer holidays for me because I've finished uni for the year, and, naturally, I'm trying to actually enjoy myself and do nice things. Which I have! Don't get me wrong, yesterday I went to Flamingo Land, a couple days ago, the beach, and just generally been spending time with friends and family.

Although I've been having a smashing time, it's hard to keep cheery when at the end of the day my joints are in SO MUCH PAIN! I hate that a normal days activity can cause me so much pain, I want to be able to hop, skip, jump around to my hearts content and I can barely walk around for a day without it giving me grief.

Nonetheless I just keep smiling (and maybe complain a little), because I can't let pain stop me from having fun (to an extent) and can't just give up because it hurts. I just want to have a jolly Summer without all the pain...  :(

Hopefully soon a doctor can help me, or my medication can start working again, fingers crossed!

Keep smiling!! (I do try to!) :)

TTFN, ta ta for now!

So tired!

I've had such a good couple of days, but it's been so tiring! This time it's not my sleep that's made me tired (I've actually slept quite normally recently, yey!) This time the thing that's making me tired is having a life.

Yesterday and today, I spent the day just out and about, pretty averagely really, not doing anything too tiring, and I'm absolutely shattered! This is another side effect of juvenile arthritis, fatigue! And its a really annoying thing to have as a child/teenager, because we just want to be able run around and play, and keep going without getting ridiculously tired.

Personally it just makes me feel lazy, because I feel tired from doing anything, whether it be nothing or a day full of everything. It's also not great because, just because you're tired out, it doesn't mean you necessarily sleep well, and it also usually includes achey joints, which is never fun.

So, basically, make sure you know your limits, if you're tired or achey don't push yourself too much, and take things at your own pace. It's always best to look after yourself and know what you should or shouldn't do. (even if it sucks, because you want to do everything, like me!) Time for me to sit and chill for a bit I think!

Thanks for reading :)


TTFN, Tata for now!

P.S. I'm writing blogs from my mobile now for a while so sorry if layout/font is bad, I'll edit it all to be nice when I'm on a computer with internet!
