An Award and NABLOPOMO!

The award says .."This blog invests and believes in the PROXIMITY-nearness in space, time and relationships. These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement! Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated."

I was given this by a new follower of my blog, Raven/Missy and I was very honoured. I would like to pass it out to eight people who have also inspired me.

1. Rattles at Brittle Asthma: Life and it's dramas for showing me that life can throw you a curve ball, but you can still get things done with it rather than admit defeat and give up and rot in front of the TV

2. Wheezy Tux at Wheezy Tux for showing me that just because life changes, doesn't mean your dreams have to.

3. Kirst at NEO-CONDUIT for showing me that it's okay to complain about our health services when they do something wrong and that you're not alone in being a chronically ill paitent who knows more than their doctors do and blog to get a change in the system. Also, for her strength.

4. Stephen at BreathinStephen for showing me that just because you have Brittle Asthma doesn't mean you can't walk in some really predigious races and do well!

5. Odette at A View From Above for showing me that people across the globe can be friends and just because there's distance between us in miles, doesn't make us any less closer in relationship values.

6. Louise at Adori Graphics for showing me that some people not only accpet that blogging is good for the soul, but do something to support those who blog for lfe changing conditions. And also for my cool backgrounds and being a great friend.

7. KSD at Stuck At The Wrong End of the Stethoscope for showing me how hard life can be at times, but that doesn't mean you have to whine and complain about it, for showing me how strong someone can be and for being a real friend.

8. Tracey at Tracey's Crafty Scraps for showing me, through her daughter's blog and her own that other people who may not have chronic conditions can still care and want to show support and educate the world about what invisble illnesses are.

I thank you all for your friendship and for what you have shown me over the past eighteen months or so of me being a blogger here.

Have you heard of National Novel Writing Month...or NANOWRIMO? Well, I've written my novels and don't like to be rushed so I'm going to attempt this: NaBloPoMo! National Blog POsting Month, which is where you write a post every day for a month...so I will count this a number one, and then try to blog here (and possibly my LJ), I just need some topics, anyone have any suggestions? Like what I should talk about? Disability, BA, ME, FMS? Writing? Studying? I'm sure I'll find some other ideas of my own, but it would be nice to have some input from some of the actual readers as to what they'd like to read over the next 30 days!

In other news, I have an infection - ran a temp yesterday and my line was sore, so I took that out and replaced it, but then my chest started grumbling so I ended up with nebs and o2 last night - only needed it for three hours before I felt well enough to sleep, but was up during the night for nebs and have had a couple this morning. It's either a line infection or a chest infection, thankfully, my GP trusts me enough to have AB's at home to start at the beginning of either to save them getting deeply set in and causing me problems, shall see how it goes, I don't think I'm about to splat, but if I do, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
