So I have not blogged for a while...in fact nearly 4 months.  This is a long time.  Lots has happened...a new year, a new Pope.

But there has been a reason I have not blogged for a while - I have been ill.  Yes, I have a cold, but that did  not stop me blogging.  But clinical exhaustion did.  The end of my PhD was adrenaline filled, and so was my trip to Rome (which was awesome...I loved Rome and had some special times out there), but when I got back...I stopped.  I sat down...and metaphorically could not stand up again.  My mood crashed, I was a crying wreck, I hurt and everything was an effort.

The doctor told me to do nothing for a month...not as easy as it sounds.  I didnt do much mentally, but I started to produce stuff that we can sell for WYD fundraising.  I was told not to do any job hunting for a month, and to just try and get better.

A few months on, and I am still tired.  I get tired very easily and am not back to full strength.  Mood wise I am totally up and down.

All this is not helped by the fact that in many parts of my life I am at the 'in-between stage'.  In-between submission and viva, in-between jobs, my relationship status is improving but its tough, and so yeah, this in-between stage sucks.

Last week I was rejected for 3 jobs...that was tough...and so yeah

Prayers for health, successful fundraising ventures and a job will be helpful.
