My word for this week is rest as that is what I’ve mainly been doing. It’s hard to write about my week sometimes when it seems like nothing much has happened. That’s real life though isn’t it, it can’t be fun and exciting all the time.

Monday started off well but by the afternoon I was having a pretty bad flare-up related to ulcerative colitis. I’ve been in active flare-up for a few months now but this was a particularly bad episode.

I was pretty wiped out afterwards so I’ve spent the week taking it easy and getting lots of rest. I’m very lucky and grateful that I’m in a position where I can rest when I need to.

I have been pottering around in between resting, reading, catching up on some TV shows and scrolling lots on social media. I’m starting to feel better and have had some advice from the IBD nurse that will hopefully help.

Sometimes things force you to slow down and that’s not a bad thing.

The kids have both had pretty good weeks at school which is good. Daisy got some of more of her assessment results back and she’s done really well. Jake tried some different Chinese food at school to celebrate the start of the Lunar New Year. He’s quite disappointed he wasn’t born in the year of the snake though as that’s his favourite creature.

I’m hoping next week I will have something a bit more interesting to write about.

I’m linking up with Anne from Raisie Bay for Word of the Week.
