Blogging on the new BB forum


[lo...]

3,989 views

I have been in two minds about whether to continue to blog or not.  I have been on BB for such a long time, since 2014 in fact.  Why am I still here?  The reasons are simple, I continue to live with the long term effects of a benzo brain injury and I have made some good friends on this website.  Not only that I have acquired a whole family of virtual critters who inhabit my blog, in fact they think it belongs to them.  They will appear now and again, of that I am sure.  

 

You can read about my history here.

Old blog is here. 

 

It is over 10 years since I completed my taper, I had no idea what was in front of me.  Most of us are in the same boat.  It has been a very long journey, the journey continues.   I have come a long way from being virtually bedridden, however I am still chronically tired and am limited in what I can do in any one day, many days I do very little and have to spend quite a bit of time resting and recovering after being out of the house, meeting friends etc.  Hopefully I can work out how to use this new blogging system.  As well as being on BenzoBuddies I have been very active in campaigning about benzo and antidepressant harms, I have been on Twitter since 2014.  I have been on TV and in the press.  I now take life a bit easier and don't do any more interviews.  I am tired.  I will see how this new blog goes, it isn't so easy to adapt to change now.

Hi, Fiona. I found you! Now, the BIG question is, will the critters find you?

They are rather annoyed just now, they didn't like not being able to post about their adventures.  I am sure they will come back soon.  They are thinking maybe they should set up their own blog elsewhere just in case it disappears again!  Hope you are doing okay today, I am resting in bed, going out tomorrow.

Hi guys! Stripey has been looking everywhere for the Mansion and his critter friends. Where are they, he wonders? What the fluff? He was especially fond of Fifi. Maybe she could just post a selfie?

Say, Fiona, maybe we can try this blog thing out and see how it goes? If it proves unworkable, we can think about going elsewhere. You're right . . . change sucks. Hope you are feeling better today. Are you folks warm over there in Scotland? Can you swim today? We are hottish here . .  about 75 and sunny right now. 

So . . . let's see how things go.

Hi everyone, Fifi sends a big welcome to Stripey and she is so happy to meet him and really happy that Mum has come home. She said Dada is thinking about buying a Castle...::) Enjoy your rest Fiona and outing tomorrow..

Hello Katz and BG, glad to see you both here.  Fifi is so happy to see her blog in operation again.  Welcome to Stripey.  It has been a lovely day here, could have been at the beach, certainly not warm enough to swim, the water would be very cold.  MC can just forget about a Castle, I am still waiting for my swimming pool. Mind you if the Castle had a swimming pool that would be okay but I don't want to move.   He hasn't consulted me about this!!  I will have a word in his ear.

MC said since he controls the Finances....oh he forgot who is in charge. Have you turned off your pm's?

Bianca's in a mood. She thinks her squeeze Stripey is throwing her over for Fifi. She's sure that's who he's looking for at the mansion.

Those critters are something else, they really are.  I am so glad the blog is up and running again, I had no idea what they were doing when it was out of action.   Have been out today for lunch and afternoon coffee, back home again and in bed, exhausted.  It has been a lovely day.

Fiona, the critters want to know when the happy cat avatar is coming back. Hmmm?

Thanks for the info about pics, gard. I will certainly use it.  Let's see if this pic of Bianca needs resizing. ( I did  little resizing on my own). It seems she's discovered the mansion's library and thinks she's in heaven! So many books (to chew on). So little time! But where is Stripey? She's afraid he's off somewhere with Fifi. She may just have to have a breakup with him and stop  pining. It would probably be good for her . . . then she could get to know the other mansion critters.

Goodness me, I can't keep up with these critters and their romantic liaisons.   So we have a romantic entanglement going on between Bianca, Stripey and FiFi, I guess we need another critter to sort this out.  Where is Puff? 

I have no idea what I am doing here.  I wouldn't know how to bring the happy cat avatar back!!  How come you have avatars and I just have a letter?   I will have to investigate!!  Surely the critters can work it out, they have better tech skills than me and they are younger as well.  :2funny:  I hope you are all impressed I managed to start a blog at all.   I do miss the old blog, I hate change, too old for all this.
