Getting Better, Holiday Try-On and Travel Packing!

The last week has been a little hectic between doctors appointments and holiday prep!

After almost a month of feeling absolutely terrible, I was finally starting to feel better and with the all clear from the GP and consultants, it was time to focus on my travels. I bought a whole bunch of clothes and things from Amazon so a try on was much needed to ensure I had some nice clothes that fit. With a few hours at the salon for hair and nails being done. 

The weather took a turn for the worse. The last time I left the house it was lovely and hot. We've had a few days of rain and storms, even with thunder and lightning! The temperature well and truly dropped so it was defintely time for a thick jacket weather. I did have to go to the GP to get another blood test but the healthcare assistant was lovely. 

I spent the rest of that day trying to charge all my devices and the most frustrating thing was my GoPro. It worked, it recorded, it took pictures and I could get them off to my computer afterwards. However - from Googling - the LCD screen is broken, probably a "broken connection from the motherboard" meaning I can't see anything when taking the photos which is really frustrating. 

Finally, it was time to pack. I did spend a day laying out everything I felt I wanted and needed. It's so hard to pack for so many different types of weather, events, activities and holidays e.g. beach, city, walking. I also tied packing cubes for the first time. It looked great, it felt great...then it didn't fit in the suitcase! 

To end my day before travelling, I had some pamper time. I did a hair mask and face mask, shaved everywhere, then washed my hair, doing a face scrub, dermaplaning and pore strip. It would have been lovely and relaxing but unfortunately, since my mum's left there has been so many things that have been broken or damaged. 

Nevertheless, trying to stay positive but of course it's hard. I'm going away for a month, by myself when it should have been an exciting adventure trip with the love of my life. God I still miss him so much. I don't know how to do life without him and I just keep pushing myself, but I don't think if that's the right thing anymore.
