I've thought long and hard about writing this post, whether indeed I should even be thinking of sharing any of what's been happening in this place that was always intended to be where I indulged in a bit of lighthearted rambling. And particularly at a time when everyone is gearing up for the festivities. I mean, do you really need to hear my troubles and woes? But it might explain why I've been distracted, preoccupied of late and account for some absences along the way. So I'm hoping I'm doing the right thing.
To say life has been a bit rocky at Cupcake Towers since returning from the polar bear adventure (you already know about the still missing cat) is a bit of an understatement. I'd had an inkling of something not quite right before the holiday. Well, I'm now taking a little break from blogging as I face a stay in hospital for some radical surgery following a diagnosis of a rare form of malignant melanoma.
I know.
Bummer.
Scared as I am (scared? I'm petrified), I know I have to dig deep, maintain a resolve to beat this with help from the health professionals, curb my natural instincts and stay positive with the support of my lovely little family, close friends and colleagues.
And I will be back here soon.
Life's lemons, eh?
Time to make a big jug of lemonade.
