Oh, what a week!

As far as weeks go, it's been a terrible one! Due to my fall and my injured ankle, I was unable to go on the first part of trip with Katie to Vietnam and Cambodia. I still can't believe what's happened and just two days before my trip was supposed to start. I have the worst luck in the world. I've been so sad all week because I've missed it after looking forward to it for so long. And the pain I'm in and the fact I can't move out of my apartment makes everything so much worse and on top of all that, I've had to say lots of goodbyes throughout the week which has been awfully sad. And now, the icing on the cake, I've found out that I'm not going to get any money back for my cancelled flight. Great. Literally the worst week EVER! 

On a positive note, I have been looked after so incredibly well this week. I've had so many friends come round and visit me, bringing lots of goodies in the form of food (including some great home made treats) and lots and lots of wine which has made me very tipsy due to all the medication I'm on right now!! Oops. I'm so lucky to be surrounded by so many great people and it's been a stark reminder of how many great friends I've made here during the year. So HUGE thanks to all the wonderful people who have looked after me this week. It means the world and I really can't thank you enough. 

Another positive which has really got me through the week is the fact I'm going ahead with the the second and third week of my trip and I'm flying to Thailand instead this Friday. After nine days of rest, and perhaps a few tweaks to the original Thailand itinerary, I'm sure I can manage it. I'll just have to. We've had this planned for around eighteen months now so there was just no way I was missing it and missing my best friends who I've not seen for such a long time and won't see again for another year and a half. So I'm trying to look on the bright side as I know that all this could have been so much worse. At least I'll still get to go to Thailand and have two fun filled weeks with my lovely friends who I miss dearly. So, all's well that ends well. :)
