Thrills, Kills and Monday Pills

You don't wake up slowly on chemo.... one minute you're asleep then PING !! wide awake.... this morning was no different. But I felt ok so that was a bonus. Had a pretty good night's sleep and woke up feeling relatively refreshed. I was a little excited about getting ready for work as I had new clothes to wear :-) a new pencil skirt !! lol who would have thunk it.... me in a pencil skirt.... swapped the dark brown top for a bright pink one at the last minute and headed to the kitchen for my nesspresso....

So we have a new pool. I'm not going to sit and bag out the pool company on this blog (well not much) but for fuck's sake, this is ridiculous !! PoolsByDesign are SHIT !! I don't recommend them..... we are still waiting for handover and final fixing's. (OK I lied, I am going to use this forum to bag them) They have done nothing but dick us around since the beginning. We might have a gorgeous looking pool, but that's because we designed it. They have done nothing but stuff it up along the way. But on a brighter note, the new deck should be in by the end of the week... and if he does a good job, I'll let you know !!

Mondays are usually such monotonous days.... meeting's, reports, emails blah blah. Today's highlight has been a blood test and a rollercoaster of feelings. I've had the shakes, headache, felt jittery, clammy, hot & cold, anxious, great & sick all in the space of 5 hours. The feelings seem to have passed for now so back to work with just the jitters and shakes which appear to be here for the long run at the mo.... how did women cope on Thalidomide in the 60's !! crazy....

Day10....

When I put the daily title in this morning, I didn't know how true it would become.... I've been walking around all day with the biggest water mark down the front of my silk top.... courtesy of the shaking hand on the full water bottle this morning. I'm hoping no-one noticed, but I'm betting they were just too polite to say anything! The thrills have been the ups and downs, especially the work drama that has crossed my desk today too !! and then there's the pills..... my working day finished with a jittery but productive end. Not too bad for a Monday. We were going to head out for dinner tonight, but with the way I was feeling earlier I thought we'd give it a miss, so now I need to go and search the pantry for inspiration. Thank god for Thermomix is all I can say.

When someone tells you you're sick but all you feel is well, it's really hard to comprehend. My head still isn't around it.....
