24/7

Jasmin - Exactly. Following our own thoughts is sometimes easier than at other times. I know I held tit together pretty well through my treatment in some regards, but that did kinda use up all my reserves for a while... - Luckily didn't fall down too far when it finally finished (please please say it has* finally finished!) - but even now, sometimes the thoughts don't behave as they should... - Afterall when I'm thinking well, I can justify and logically get myself to do anything I want/desire, and push the fear, or worry etc., about anything out of the way; I logic it, that, if I've 'done cancer', which, honestly I think is about the scariest thing ever, then, anything else oughta be a piece of cake. - heck, loosing my eyesight, having two brain hemoridges, etc., etc., that wasn't anywhere as scarey as this time, with the cancer has been...

Remembering  happy times is often good... - I have to try avoid meloncholly though, a lot, with some of them... - its just over a year ago now, (1st Sep), I was at the funeral of Chris, who I'd been with for nearly ten years, until he himself died of melanoma- and that was only a few months of course, before I discovered I had cancer... - surely I'm due to have some good luck soon?! - well, now plans ahead, for my off to visit Sweden for thre weeks, over Christmas/new year, and then into next year, getting organised to get married, to William... so hopefully its good times ahead, for the foreseeable at least...

Avoiding alcohol here tonight;  well, I rarely drink at home; on the fennel tea at the moment, and listneing to the 'fright night' on BBC radio four- and cursing the sound of fireworks outside, already!

Ian,

its good to hear from you. I hope you are as OK as possible.....or as I say when anyone asks how I feel "fine". Doesnt mean fine of course..........just coping.

Big hugs & lots of love to all

sister snail - glad you enjoyed the concert! - I'm ment to be heading to see Deep Purple again (I saw them years back), some time before the end of this year (a friend has organised it, and I've entirely lost track when it is ment to be!) - need to get myself reaquainted with drinking properly to attend a rock  concert again I think! - Perhaps one day when I will dress 'male' for that I think!

Ditto with the kicking leaves thing! =- a few days back we were walking to the GP surgery to put a script in,  and I made William let us walk back through the little park  area, so I could kick through all the leaves!


Extra hugs today for anyone who needs them... I had a fairly decent night's sleep for once (got off about 4 AM, and woke about 8.45, but then dozed in for an hour). We've had sunshine again today!; Which I love this time of year, so I've had a bit more energy... fruit, yoghurt for brekfast, eggs for lunch,  medication spread either side of the food!  Housework about to be commenced....

But... tea first... so... if I make the tea... does anyone have any cakes or biscuits?!


Hope everyone is OK.

Hi Mark, and everyone.....

tea? Biccies? I've put a box of gorgeous Costco choc chip shortbread in the kitchen, do help yourselves everyone! 

Ian, welcome here, it's a warm room, beautiful colours ( whatever you imagine) with deep comfy sofas and chairs, a lovely wide vista through bifold glass doors into a pretty garden and country beyond. There's a wood burner for this cool time of year and cosy throws if you want to wrap up and snooze. a small kitchen area where we can leave great food and drinks for each other, faeries do all the work, bless them! 

Hugs to you all xxx

Just passing through to put a huge selection of fresh cream cakes in the fridge to have when we have a brew later

Hope all have had a good day,i took the day off again as the head still aches,nurse at the hospital said it would for a few days but i'm never sure how many a few is

Love & hugs to all

Mmm cake and biscuits and all calorie-free, thank you.

Aw Carol, hope your head feels better soon!

Had a lovely bike ride today in the sunshine, called at the farm shop for lunch, pork pie on table with some pickle if anyone fancies a savoury before cake.

Xxxx

Ooh Pork pie sounds nice. But I had better save myself. My son is in my new kitchen right now cooking roast chicken. There are definitely benefits to being closer to him!

Im all moved in. The cats seem to be settling after spending the first couple of hours hiding under a bed they are now out and exploring the house.

Hope today hasn't been too difficult and the three of you sleep well in your new home. Jasmin 

Seconded!; Its a long while since I last moved, into this house, and, yeh, from waht I remember its the second worse time of my life, the worse being of could having had this cancer thing!; well, they do say moving can be stressful... guess I didn't organise mine too well and I was quite young back then! so... hope its gone way more smoethely than that move of mine did... was the 10th of december 1999, and it was freezing... and ther e was no working heating! haa! But... survived it somehow of course... Right, housework all done, time to go make some dinner!
