Hubby didn’t get the job. Today he is in hospital for his first infliximab. It is pouring with rain, it took me two and a half hours to get to work. I had a UC attack on my way in too, my first in a long long time. Work is difficult. We now have serious money worries. I have been up since 4am having strange repetitive stress dreams, half awake, half asleep.
The last year and a half has been stressful beyond belief and it just keeps going.
I am going to take a break for a while from this blog. I am getting fed up with documenting the hideous stuff. I wanted this blog to be helpful to those with UC, particularly those with children too, and those who have to commute and work with UC. But I have been exceptionally unlucky and I don’t feel my story is a true representation of the challenges those with UC face. Not at the moment anyway.
Writing about what is going on helps me but it is a bit indulgent on my part and I don’t feel it helps anybody else. I have a lot of positive things to concentrate on, so I am taking a few months off to focus on these things, to regroup and come back more helpful and in a better place. I intend to give this space a facelift and make it a more helpful place to visit too.
I will still be lurking around reading all the fabulous UC blogs of course!
So ta-ta (kind of) for now…see you soon…

Hi Ali
You do what you've got to do: take some time, get things back on an even keel. You will be absolutely in my thoughts, and I really hope things straighten out a bit for you and your husband.
But, can I also say that your blog is NOT self-indulgent, and IS utterly helpful to your readers. I have found inspiration and uplift in reading your posts. It has genuinely helped me deal with my own problems and experiences.
I totally respect your need to focus on the family and the world outside right now, but I will look forward immensely to your return. I would hate to lose touch with you.
Take care,
Lots of love

Best of luck to you and your family.
Your blog has helped me over the last three months. I have benefited from your sharing of experiences but I understand taking a break form the blog and focusing on other things. I will be checking back from time to time and looking forward to your return.
I wish you and yours well.
Hey Ali. Things will get better. Look for the positives. They're out there.
Good luck with everything and if you do revamp your blog, save a place for them old coconut slices, I like 'em.
Oooh-oooh-oooh, before I forget, where'd do you get hold of these here radar keys?
Ta-ta.
NOOOO!!! I understand you need a break, but weirdly the bad stuff in this disease is what comforts me most. Just knowing that I'm not the only one. It gets irritating hearing people who have no problems. haha Make sense? Sorry, that your hubby didn't get the job. Hopefully the infliximab will kick in and give him awesome results! You guys definetly deserve a break!
I will miss your posts, but understand. Can't wait for your return, and hope that you and hubby get some relief in more ways than one.
Take care, and keep smiling!
