Because I can ...

The last couple of days have been like slow motion. Literally. I've never been someone to be constantly moving and on the go anyway, I'm far too lazy for that. Lots of things I know need doing are buzzing in my head, so my brain is always working, but my body? Nah. It goes at it's own pace. Today it showed that more than ever, when I got to work and found myself so lightheaded and giddy I had to move around at the speed of a snail.

One day we can be blissfully unaware of what's going on behind closed doors, we go through our routine with a smile on our faces. Then the next day?....we're left with a dazed, blank expression that comes about from a tone of voice or a few words. Words we don't expect...words we may even be prepared to hear but that in itself doesn't make them any ...
