Hello! Long time no blog… Happy New Year!

Life in 2016 is very busy at the moment. It pretty much looks like this…

Sleeping

Seizures come along and turn my days upside down as usual when I'm least expecting it.. despite always expecting it. It's hard to fit everything in whilst trying to get a sufficient amount of rest and sleep in-between. I'm forever hearing “Jade you need to slow down. Stop. Rest.” I do when I can but sometimes I get carried away with life and all the exciting things it has to offer and go overboard, usually resulting in being forced to stop via a seizure or five. 
That's the thing with life at the moment you see. It's busy, exciting, fun, enticing, exhausting, energy-sapping and begging to be lived. I forget that at the end of the day this hidden monster inside of me can gain control of everything in a split second. On the other hand why should I let that stop me doing everything that I can to live and enjoy life? Push myself forward and strive for the next goal and achievement no matter how big or small. That's the same for anyone living with chronic illness. Grab a hold of the good days, brace against the bad days. 
With that said I need to get back to sleep ready for a long day of general life chores tomorrow and good old assignment writing.
Oh and on a slightly smug but I don't care note… guess who's got top marks in every single assignment in every subject area of my course so far??? MEEEEEEEE  **smug**
Hard work and determination pays off my friends  xXx
