The long walk

While we are waiting for chemo to start I have been looking at ways of filling my days. It's really the quiet bits, when you don't want to talk that are the problem. As I have said before I get a lot of these at work and I just walk out for a few minutes,problem over. Lunch time is a bit more difficult, 1 hour of not wanting to talk so I have taken to walking, listening to the Ipod and taking pictures. The walking is doing me some good. I am still very tired though and just want to sleep the day away.

Enough of me for a minute. David left today, he was able to drag Trace out for a bit and I shall try and keep that up. His visit was very different from Brenda's but still fun and gave me a chance to talk again (didn't take long to get back to me). Although I sometimes scoff at his northern homilies he does occasionally talk sense and I am more grateful than I let on for it.

I am not usually one to talk about sleeping arrangements but we now have separate duvet's in our superking sized bed, this means less fighting for the covers. They are only 4.5 tog so its cool nights all round. A great success.

And while we are talking about successes the Iphone charger has been found. There is a tale to tell, when Tracey went to hospital we discovered that although we were allowed the phone the charger could not be used as it was not PAT tested. So the charger was the (apparently) taken by me and subsequently lost as it was nowhere to be seen when Tracey got out. Well a week and half later it turns up in someones makeup bag. I am still waiting for the sorry.

Anyway back in to my head, I think I have returned to denial. I suppose it's the wait between treatments. When I look at my Trace she hasn't changed. OK one boob may be at a slightly jauntier angle than the other (thank you Frances) or she might be in her PJ's at 7:00 but she is still as she was a month ago, a year ago and she sounds much more positive, but I know that this is just a bit of respite until the next dose of treatment. It is probably a good time to sort the finances. I am not good at using my free time well, I have to learn.

Any way a real treat for you all. Today's photo's , if these are the best ones you should have seen the ones I got rid of. All from Southwick Park.

The first picture is the best, the dragonfly was laying eggs at the edge of the pond. They are Broad Chasers.

Anyway enough for today.

Bye Chris x
