Things my best friend/big sister DOESN’T fear: taking my palliative care ass on holiday to foreign countries that’re a 22 hour drive away from my regular clinical team.

Things she DOES fear: me being killed by a metal straw in a standing cup like that lady she read an article on.

Only in England

Xendrial had dropped Nightshade off at Lydia's for the weekend for yet another sleepover. She didn't mind as it gave her more time with Bruce. However finding his home dark left her feeling a bit worried.

Stumbling over the note she had to read it twice just to keep things from jumbuling up in her mind. He'd turned himself into the local police force which he'd been talking about earlier. Biting her lip she hoped they would treat him well.

Carefully rolling up the note she tucked it away into her shadows so it couldn't be found and used against him later. She'd caught hooligans more than once going through his trash for scraps.

Putting her apron on she decided to spruce up the home while he was away. At least until she'd heard the sounds of someone breaking in. Digging her nails into the counter she decided to play the helpless damsel to keep from arousing any suspicion.

"Bruce is that you?"

As Xendrial came over to the Brownstone for her weekly visit to see Bruce and hear about his week as Batman, something was different this time. The house was dark and empty as if no one was home. The blinds and curtains were closed for Xendrial, Bruce knew she hated the sun and preffered the darkness.

On the coffee table where they shared many coffees and talks before, was a note.

Dear Xendrial

I know you have come for our weekly story telling time and I am sad I am not there to tell you my story. I have desiced for my case on Worth to move forward, I need the police off mine and Batman`s trail. Therefore I have turned myself in to GCPD for them to continue their investigation. 

And before you say anything. Oracle, a associate of mine and the computer genius of our operation, is making sure the police find me innocent and set me free ASAP. I should be out in a day or so. But feel free to come and see me. 

I do miss you a lot. And when this case is over, I have something important to discuss with you. If you are wanting us to become a permanent thing. You were right, I need a woman`s touch around the house and my life. I want to fix that.

Regards and love,

Bruce Wayne.

But as she read the note, masked men began to break into the Brownstone….

Uhh... anyway it’s small so far but I have an Etsy shop that I’m using as a joint effort with my nieces to try to fund a road trip to pick up the one that lives in Florida.

Of course I also want to create things as a full time thing and the stores not going away if we can make it successful.

But we want this trip to happen and we’ve got our eye on visiting the Georgia aquarium if possible on our way.

Well I’ve written more info on the store page so I won’t bore you with too many details here. Store name is jumbulations.

Like the word jumble and jubilation/salutations/congratulations

It’s a mess, but it’s a happy mess, that’s the thing.

Anyway all that’s up there so far is my 3D models for llamas, barrels, hammerhead sharks, and a manta ray. (Haven’t had the chance to test print the ray yet, that’s why the picture is a render.)

You buy the files and you have access to print as many as you want. As long as you also have acess to a 3D printer.

That said I’m willing to arrange printing and shipping if anybody is interested.

I’m new to having my own store and I don’t like pushing marketing....

There’s more coming though, tomorrow I’m gonna try to model a narwhal and fix my Victorian mansion model. I’m not above 3D model commissions. Keep it kid friendly tho.

The nieces should be posting their own creations soon, ones got a really cool cosmic whale shark sticker coming up. And the other one is working on pride flag pins.

Hey thanks for reading, if you don’t feel like buying anything or don’t have the cash I’m not above constructive criticism either. I’m looking for ways to improve sales at the shop, improve the presentation and my models.

Thanks again. Sorry about the dash space.

I had told him that my Wikipedia game was stronger than his

“We’re gonna Wikipedia race later. We’re gonna go from Jumbulance to Timbits.”

I am SO HAPPY that I get to spend he next 9 days with my absolute favourite human, my amazing big sister, my best friend, and my carer for all our adventures during this holiday!

Feeling quite unwell today and I know it’s last week catching up with me; I’m paying the price for pushing myself to be as active as possible for 9 days in a row. Some people ask me why I go on these holidays when I know I’ll be unwell when I get home; the honest answer is, it’s 110% worth it. Every aspect of my life includes risk; it’s better to take that risk and live a big, beautiful life, then never take a risk and make your life small and sad. I got to see such incredible beauty last week, both in the scenery # and in the people I was with. Instead of feeling sorry for myself, or even angry that I have to have this payoff at all, I’m just grateful I got to experience another incredible week with the incredible organisation that is @jumbulance_trust 💖 these weeks away, the memories I get to create and treasure, the relationships I form with the people in our group, they get me through my bad days. And I know I’m beyond lucky to have had these amazing experiences; despite my ill health and inability to get travel insurance, I’ve actually traveled more than some of my healthy friends! Jumbulance, especially this year, after having so many close calls, is my personal miracle. It brings me more happiness than I know how to express... so if the price I pay for beauty, adventure, time spent with the best people, yummy food, and a week of laughter and love is this feeling poorly, then I’ll happily pay it, over and over. It’s worth it. Looking at these two photos reminds me just how blessed I am 💖 shout out the the photographer @mjenga10 who makes these trips both possible and incredible, and whom I love dearly 💖💚! #nofilterneeded #holidayphotos #payingtheprice #butitsworthit❤️ #blessedbeyondmeasure #jumbulance #jumbulance2019 #jumbulancetrust #austria🇦🇹 #germany🇩🇪 #italy🇮🇹 #igettoseetheworldandiloveit #adventureisoutthere🎈 #taketheriskorlosethechance⭐️ #palliativecarewarrior https://www.instagram.com/p/B0A4t5SBJp5/?igshid=10h8t0yuvnep4

So I’m home, I’m showered, and I’m actually unpacked! I’ve even started on the laundry, although I may still be working my way through it next month 🙈😂! I’m currently chilling in bed, painting my nails 💅🏻 and watching sleeping beauty 👸🏼. There are still LOTS of beautiful new photos and videos to post from my week away, so expect to be spammed, but don’t expect too much from me the next few days; I’m knackered! I’m also feeling very sad this evening; after an incredible week surrounded by incredible people, it’s hard to say goodbye 😭💔! It’s also hard to say goodbye to the ability to be selfish; Jumbulance is literally the one week a year I get to be entirely selfish in my decisions and actions. It’s my one week of complete and utter freedom... coming home can feel so terribly confining. And of course, that ability to concentrate on myself is made possible by the person I’m missing most of all, my incredible big sister Jade 💚 who’s been my carer all week; not because she’s paid to (in fact, she pays to come on Jumbulance!) but because she wants to. I feel like I’m missing a limb, and it’s not even neuropathy 🙈😂! I’m really, really missing my good night cwtches. Typically, because of the reasons listed above, I always have a really nasty battle with my depression when I return from holiday; this year I’m being more proactive about managing it. This includes doing things like unpacking straight away, keeping busy, spending time with my friends (if anyone would like to hang out this week, hit me up! I need my friends this week, and cwtches would be much appreciated!), but I’ve also got an appointment with my psychologist booked for tomorrow. I’m telling myself it’s okay not to be okay, and that it’s okay to ask for some help at a difficult time. I was incredibly appreciative of my mate Steph feeling comfortable making jokes that I had to go see my psychologist tomorrow because I’d miss her so much 😂! It made me feel less ashamed of needing that hit of help... and of course, I actually do really miss Steph (and everyone else)! Big thank you to everyone at Jumbulance who’s made one of the best weeks of my life possible 💖 expect an essay soon 😂! #jumbulance https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz6R71whXlP/?igshid=1t7dji7sh10tl

Sad faces in our selfie this morning, as we’re going home today... So that’s that! After an incredible week in Austria 🇦🇹 (with day trips to Germany 🇩🇪 and Italy 🇮🇹!) we’re on our way home 🏡. The adventure isn’t quite over yet, as we’ve got a 22 hour bus journey ahead of us, but we’ve already said goodbye to the residents of the other Jumbulance, J2, and we’ll soon be saying goodbye to each other... absolutely dreading it tbh! I’m gonna miss this crazy, beautiful bunch of amazing people much so much 😭💔 #onholiday #goinghometoday #austria🇦🇹 #italy🇮🇹 #germany🇩🇪 #jumbulance #jumbulance2019 #jumbulancetrust #illmissthemsomuch❤ #itsbeenablast🚀 (at Hotel Sonnschein) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz3ZnHdhY8w/?igshid=10x01txnz5ofe

Exactly a year ago today I was being blue lighted into UHW with severe renal sepsis, and nearly died. That particular incident is actually the seizure-spasm used at the beginning of my documentary, The Incurable Optimist. It was one of the most horrible and scary ones of my life, and I felt so unwell. But today, I was at the top of the world; today if not quite literally, then definitely metaphorically! The view from the top of the mountains 🏔 was breathtaking (zing a good way, not an I-Need-Oxygen way!) and humbling. Nature has a wonderful way of reminding you that you’re just one small part of a big, beautiful world. I’ve had a hell of a year, y’all. I’ve had so many days I thought I’d never see the end of. And for a lot of this year, I was too poorly to go on holiday with Jumbulance... it was the first time in six years we were even considering the fact I wasn’t well enough to go, but at the time the travel seemed impossible. But, here I am! It’s a genuine miracle, and one I’m very happy about. It hasn’t been easy getting here; I have fought with claw and tooth and nail to survive this year, to get through the valley of shadows and climb to the top of the mountain... but now I’m here, damn was it worth it. Because the view? It’s incredible. I just want to say that there’s a very long list of people I wouldn’t have survived this year, literally or emotionally, without, and the number one person is @mjenga10 💚 the reason I’m able to be here in Austria and see such amazing sights, and do such amazing things, but equally importantly, she’s the reason I made it to today. She’s my personal miracle! I guess what I’m trying to say is; A) I LIVED BITCHES! B) keep fighting through the dark valley, because it’s worth it to get to the top of the mountain! #ilivedbitches #theviewfromhereisamazing #palliativecarewarrior #itsbeenahellofayear #butimadeit #isurvived #andithrived #thisiswhathappylookslike #blessedtobehere #itsamiracle #lovemybigsister❤️ #shesmymiracle #couldntdoitwithouther #onholiday #austria🇦🇹 #jumbulance #jumbulance2019 #jumbulancetrust #bestweek (at Niederau, Tirol, Austria) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz1TmxEBb_I/?igshid=d1nak8ioq2ow
