Friday was just one of those days!
The day started well and I completed my last 2 staff appraisals which went very well. Then things started to go a bit off the rails.... I feel at the moment as if I have one arm tied behind my back, a patch over my eye, and the rest of the "tool box" is empty when it comes to doing my job for customers. When I explain the issues to the "powers that be" they say they will fix it (same thing for 5 years) or I am making excuses, so it seems I am the meat in the sandwich.
Oh but hang on things are looking up, I get Kauto Star in the office sweepstake.....Oh dear the poor thing is pulled up.
Never mind I go home early (glad I can on a Friday) and am looking forward to a nice meal out with my wife and girls. A nice place, and it is Mothers day / my last night out with baggy celebration. All goes well until one of my girls somehow knocks a large amount of lasagne my way, shirt and trousers now a nice orange colour! Oh well one of those days, the food was nice as was the wine.
Come home finish the wine and relax and off to bed. Sometime later I awake and oh no baggy has leaked, that is only the 2nd time this has happened in bed!
I did get a bit peed off, but I reckon that the thought of the impending op may be playing on my mind a little. However, this morning I have come to my senses. All of the above is just little bits of stuff sent to try us, living with cancer is something you have to deal with every day. People on here are going through big ordeals and tough stuff right now. Puts the events of my day into insignificance, and so now it's all gone away and the smile is back.
My wife and 2 girls have all joined up to do the race for life (they are not runners so this will be a real effort), which I must admit brought a lump to my throat and that damn dust in my eyes.
Onwards and upwards, hope LM's op was a success and that EMs is still on track for the SCT. Thanks to everyone on here for your support, and good luck to every one of you.

p.s. Oh yes and I am going fishing (that will be it for a while now!) on Mothers Day, which is why I did all the Mothers Day stuff Friday and more today.
