Tonight I am baking a chocolate and chilli cake to take to work tomorrow. I made banana muffins the other night, Kelly our receptionist baked a Nutella cake and we all had that for brekky today. Mine will be lunch for tomorrow as I dont start til 1pm...the mixture had a bit of a kick so it should get everyone going for a busy afternoon ;-)).
I havent been feeling too great this week...very tired but I think I have been overdoing it with all these extra hours covering for people and rushing around like a blue arsed fly basically. Also I was very stressed last week about my results on Monday and that takes it out of you doesnt it. Then I had the dreaded dentist Tuesday morning which I touched on in my last blog. Well I didnt have the root canal in the end as he felt the tooth was probably passed saving. He got another dentist in to double check everything and they decided between them that I needed 2 fillings and the unsalvagable tooth pulled out.....there and then!!!! EEK. So an hour later I was rushing off to work with a very numb mouth and one less tooth. I dosed up on the painkillers and managed to get through the day...it hasnt been too bad since a bit achy but the hole feels huge!! So that added up to a traumatic day too. Then to top it all off I have had a mean sore throat and headache which I'm hoping will subside after tomorrow as I have 4 days off!! YAY then I'm off to the Lake district for a week on the 22nd and I cannot wait to get away.
Had my MUGA today which came back at 53% which is fine and dandy I wont be having heart failure any time soon and can carry on with treatment until at least August when my next scans are due!!
Phew that felt like a lot of typing!!
Hope everyone else is well, I'll be thinking of you all when I tuck into the choccy cake tomorrow ;-)
