Humphff day......

So last night at the event was quite a plesant evening. I have to say, I didn't think Nathan Sharpe was especially riveting as a speaker, but he wasn't awful. Just a little uninspiring.... He seemed a nice chap, had a quick chat and a photo opportunity with him. Watch out society pages of WA !!!
I took my camera and snapped away over Kings Park as the sun set. Had a couple of glasses of vino and then we made an impromptu decision to have something to eat. So off to Matilda Bay. Had a gorgeous meal (great company)and a couple more vino's to soothe the soul ;-) .... I have a sneaking suspicion that my taste buds are getting affected by the chemo. There's a constant taste of "bottom of birdcage" in my mouth. A bit like having a hangover without the headache or shit feeling..... And I'm really quite thirsty most of the time. I was told I'd need to drink approx 3 liters a day. I think I'm doing around 2 at he mo. Bloody hell, I'll drown if I drink more !!

Slept ok last night too (yay) I think about 6-7 hours so was pretty ok this morning when I woke up. And today was also "low # of pills to take day". Only 1/2 aspirin for breaky. Rest day for the Cyclo & Dexa. (Thalidomide daily at nighttime) but having said that, I've been feeling the effects today I think. My blood feels funny (i know that sounds weird) but its like you keep feeling a slight rush around your body, but then you think you've just imagined it. (told you it was weird !!) I started to feel quite tired this afternoon, and a bit like I had jet lag. When you look around and then 2 seconds later your mind catches up with your body. So by 5pm I was well & truly ready for home.

Sitting at home now, having a water.... It's amazing ow much "stuff" you think about. My thoughts are in overdrive, flitting from one thing to another and not stopping for breath. I'm pretty sure mum is doing he same. She was awake at 3am this morning (uk time) on fb, commenting on my pages !! Hope you slept again mum :-) <3

Time to think about tea... Chicken parmigiana & salad I think.(nope not in the Thermomix tonight!!) I have a taste for a vino, but I really think I should have a night off..... ???

Oh, & I ordered Dirk's birthday pressie today too. Sooo excited about it. It's a bit special this year, bit that's all I'm saying. No hints.... Hope it gets here on time :-)

Day5... the new burger joint opened next door to work.
