Ahoy hoy, how are we all? I hope you are well and warm. This blog post is about 2026 1/3 in review.
My eczema
Thankfully, I’ve had no major flare-ups. I still get some scabs and bouts of itchiness, but nothing to cry home about.
My #rockulele videos
Last month was my new songs series, where I played songs that were more recent than my current catalogue. This month is a funny one. A few months ago, I had posted in Brain Tumours with Humour Facebook group a meme saying, “Replace the word girl with the word squirrel”. And someone from the group said, are you going to record these songs? I said, we will see. September is dedicated to mens mental health because it’s going to be classic Linkin Park, because the lead, unfortunately, committed suidide.
October is an even funnier one. I had a thought, for some reason, of the Cheeky Girls singing like Korn and vice versa. So, the first half of October is going to be #CheekyKorn and the second half is going to be #stepknot where it’s the same but with Steps and Slipknot,
A few months ago, I had a post-breakfast dream (yeah, I know, it should be the opposite), where I was in Scruffy Murphys, a metal pub that me and my old co-workers used to go to on a Friday night, when I used to work in Birmingham. In the pub, I was on stage, with my uke, singing a song called “Fuck Cancer”. In the song, I was listing all of the names that have passed, and then asking the crowd to sing it with me. So I am going to attempt to record this song.
Because, of the fact that, I’m recording a metal single, I’ve made the decision to convert my uke to a lower top string.
Recently, I’ve started handdrumming. To improve my hand-eye coordination, The teacher uses African drums. When I first started, the teacher said that, as part of his teaching, he was teaching someone who couldn’t move his arms due to a stroke. After he was finished with him, on one of his nights out, he was on the floor moving his arms around, but he immediately put them down, because of his benefits.
Me working and my empire
A few months ago at a Silver Lining meeting, I was inspired by a friend to create an improv acting app. My friend said that he misses the show “Who line is it anyway?” and I was inspired to build that app. Hopefully, it should be done before the next blog post.
I rently updated my clothing line, Brainwell Boutique, with a new season of clothing. This season features water bottles and stickers. The theme of the new season is hidden disabilities.
My weight
My weight is now at 79.1KG, my muscle mass is at 60.57kg, and my body fat is 19.9%, which is surprising because, due to the weather, I’ve hardly gone to my room. I’ve been sleeping in the spare room and going to my room to film and practise.
My mum’s health
A few months ago, my mum, went to the GP, asking about a mole that changed colour. She said that we need to book an appointment with the Dermatologist at the hospital. She went to her appointment, as they diagnosed her with benign skin cancer. They gave her liquid nitrogen to remove the mole.
My health
My tablets have gone up. After the last post, I had a bone density scan, and from the results, I was told that I have low calcium in my neck and hips. Because of this, I now walk with a cane,
That’s it for now. Once again, I want to thank a few people. Firstly, I would like to thank my mum, dad, sister, my Naughty Mamaji and my Masi, for being by my side, throughout everything. I would like to thank everyone from BTS for sharing this with the community. I would like to thank Kanika, Shirley, and everyone at Carers Trust for giving me the confidence to share my story, and I would like to thank Joe for motivating me to get back on the horse. And I would like to thank everyone at the hospital, my family and friends, and everyone I’ve met on this journey.
Next time, I’m going to talk about my 2026 – 2/3 in review.
