Day 11 Chemo 4 Boxing day

1 minute read time.
 
We have had a quieter day today so we walked the dog on a short walk and set off in the car to buy a Paint Pod in the sales.
It was a nice day and lovely to get out for a ride along the old Thanet Way to Homebase where we bought the pod but they didn't have a good selection of paint.
We decided to go back to B&Q where we found a better selection.
I was also amazed to find Tesco's open as Sainsbury wasn't so we popped in to get some Ginger Wine and there they were--shoppers-- still piling their trolley's with food. Where do they put it all???
We came home and I made a dinner of Cold ham and Turkey with salad and Jacket potato and my home made relishes.
Later we had a slice of Ray's cake--I'm so pleased I have sent my family home with slices as we still have half of it left and so high in calories.
My son has phoned and said how much he enjoyed Christmas day so I'm well pleased, memories have been laid down.
 
I did burst into tears when I said to Ray how hard it hurts that I had sat there and had the thought I might not be sitting at the table next year.Really non us us now our future though so we all should enjoy each day as if it was our last.
 
Well off to bed soon so that's it Xmas is over and it has been a magical time.

    hi -so glad to hear that you have had a lovely christmas - i know what you mean about the thoughts that sometimes pop into our heads - it happens to me sometimes - they come from nowhere and i must say i dont like it - i usually get up and try to occuppy my mind with something completely different to what i was doing when the thoughts begin to come - i hope you find the paintpod easy to use - i myself still struggled with it but i must say that it does give a lovely finish to the walls and uses only a small amount of paint compared to the roller and brush - happy painting and heres hoping you have a fab new year -love karen - xoxo

  • I suppose we all suffer with thoughts.

    I try so hard to be cheerful but i do get caught out and i said to Ray I feel so frightened sometimes.

    He is so good and understands so well that all i need is a cuddle and then i get back and smile again.

    I hope we get on with the Paintpod i will klet you know in the new year when we do the passage first.

    Happy New Year Karen xxx
