Could do with a hug

I am very sorry all sparkers, having come back on here I realized that over the last few years I only ever come on here when I need support,so after this post I am making it my mission to do two blogs a month, regardless, and reply to all the lovely supportive people out in the ether that are always there with kindness and comments at the ready.
That said I'm feeling sorry for myself. My weightloss is actually okay. (Slow but steadyish- i shall post some photos soon,) and I have got a new job starting in August, and i am even managing to do some writing, but once again my husband is unwell. Prior to last year he was never sick, now he has come down with Dengue. We live in Asia, and whilst not uncommon it is not very pleasant at all. His father is out visiting from the UK, he only comes once a year and this has been planned for over 6 months, but DH is pretty much confined to the bed. We are going to have to cancel our holiday - something we were all so excited about - and because it's so late we will loose all the money. (The flights already cost much more than they should have but that's another story). I am aware that I am incredible lucky, and that in the grand scheme of things I have nothing at all to complain about, it's just that I don't have anyone to talk to about it. After 4 years living here I still don't have any great friends. The time difference makes it near impossible to call friends up in the UK. I just really want a hug, Thank you and sorry for the self-indulgent whinging.
