Back from the hospital after the PET scan to see if the cancer has been completely expunged. Results to be discussed with doctor on Wednesday. Am still high as a kite on the anti-anxiety meds they gave me when putting in the cannula. Early night tonight, so as to limit the amount of time I spend chewing my fingernails down to the elbow.
So far today:
- Moved 1.73 shittonnes of crap out of the garage for the hard rubbish.
- Cleaned house.
- Repotted the mini peach tree, the ginger lily and the bonsai fig treelet.
- Two loads of laundry.
Still to do:
- shopping
- batch cooking lunches for next week.
I’m exhausted already. May resort to bort lunches.
Just got in from work. It’s freezing at home - and by that I mean ice on the inside of the toilet window. Come on, ducted heating! Do your stuff! NB: dumplings in soup for dinner. Might even sneak in some veg into the soup. I have decided that the Massel Pho stock cubes are the best thing since button up sandshoes.
It’s my birthday, and I’m going to the dentist. Boo. On the plus side, I’m taking today off so will go op shopping afterwards.
EDIT: Thank you all so much! I have my eye on a few things at the local Sacred Heart …
We’ve lost Sinead O’Connor. A grievous loss. I love her music and courage.
I’m staying. I like it here.
The master of timing has done it again - stepping down while most of the cookers are playing referendum politics. I am in awe. I wonder who the cookers will protest about from now on. Not that reality features in their rhetoric.
Happy Winter Solstice Everyone!
Just had some good news - my younger boy Nick (who works at NASA at Cape Canaveral) is safe. He and his wife and my granddaughter did the smart thing and evacuated. Currently in LA. I have been so worried. But all are safe and well.
Just got home after 2nd six-monthly checkup post cancer. I am happy to say that I am still cancer-free. Peter Mac Hospital in its infinite wisdom has removed all the free books for reading while waiting to see the doctor. This is a major step back. I found a couple of beauties last year while I was in treatment. Things I would never in a million years have actually spent money on, but were splendid reads. On the plus side, the new station at Parkville is just outside the door and is looking splendid and hopefully will be available for use soon. The new tram stop in Royal Parade is excellent and nearly big enough. Also the coffee in the Wellness Centre is still good but the selection of bikkies has reduced somewhat.
