Travelling

Sat at JFK waiting on a flight to Orlando, it’s been a long old day! 2am start, Edinburgh to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to New York, New York to Orlando, by the time I get to my hotel I will have been awake for almost 24hours. It will all be worth it, my Disney races are this coming weekend.

Last week was a complete bust for me, my injured hand turned out to be worse that I’d thought, it is still healing and swollen and I am still struggling with some movement today. I couldn’t work, I couldn’t even button my own jeans, or open a jar of my beloved peanut butter! My knee is also still a little swollen but luckily my movement was not as affected as with the hand. I can still run, not far and not fast but enough.

Losing use of a hand last week was such a brutal reminder of how much I rely on them for work, for everything. I felt completely useless without it, and spiralled quite quickly into existential crisis. If I can’t tattoo what can I do? Well, I could still type, so maybe this writing thing isn’t a bad idea at all. 

Next week I’ll write about conventions, today I just want to get to my hotel (and get some sleep!) and this week I just want to enjoy my time away. 

Wish me luck for my races, I’m going to need it!
