Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts....... while others come into our lives and make us wanna leave footprints on their face........

OK .. so don't laugh.... but I went absolutely arse over tit this morning and ended up sitting (in new work pants) in a puddle of wee....  One leg went one way, the other the other way and the last thing I saw before I hit the wet deck, was Mavvy wagging his tail watching me !! many thanks Maverick !! I think I split my difference !! He'd left a nice little (did I say little... I meant HUGE) puddle at the top of the stairs... note to self, let him out 1st thing !! But he is a cutey....

I started Cycle4 on Saturday. It's been a mixed week so far, feelings wise. Not in a bad way... just a druggy way. And today, as the four days of Dexamethsone are wearing off, I'm feeling worse !! The coming down is definitely worse than the during.... but I shouldn't complain. It's not unbearable, just that the feelings never stop. There's never an escape from one day to the next - neuropathy, teeth tension, jitters, shakes, anxiety, mood swings, tiredness, insomnia, blurred vision, bitter after taste of everything put in mouth..... OK, I'm complaining aren't I !! ... yawn, I'm beginning to sound like a broken record !!
So I've been thinking about what subjects I can also blog about, I mean you lot aren't going to want to read about the same shit every day for the next.... however long...
Dirk suggested Politics and Economics.... I think I'll leave that one to him !! Then there's the usual rants that bloggers have about what irk's them.... too obvious. Photography... you already see enough of that from me - no need to put words to the pictures.... I'm a bit stumped for ideas. But will keep you posted if I get an idea - you'll be the first to know about it !! Probably even my test bed !!

It's now Thursday.... the rest of my day yesterday was a bit of a blurr.... I don't think I spoke much last night, it was better to stay quiet as I could feel my tension rising. Today is looking like being the same. I managed to get up and get to work ok. But I feel like I'm drunk !! That out of body experience when you have to concentrate to put one foot in front of the other.... and I feel completely wasted / drained / tired / exhausted.

But tonight is the 'night of nights' for South Perth Cricket Club. The night they bring out the red carpet for all the wags !! Stand back papz !! (ok maybe not quite that flash....) Should be a laugh - as always. Hopefully we won't be too late. I have my Zometa infusion at 5pm then a quick rush home for a change and straight there. If there are any side effects from the Zometa I don't think they'll hit me until after midnight, so should be OK..... and then it's Easter.... chocolate, hot cross buns and pills - yummo !! Someone get me some bunny ears and a fluffy tail I want to hop for joy !!

At least the engagement party is now in progress. Well, the invites are out..... I haven't booked a caterer yet - still waiting on a quote - but it's on !! One way or another, we're having a party and bloody hell, I'm going to enjoy it :-)
If you were wondering about the title for this blog, it's dedicated to a former "friend" who has just done the dirty on Dirk & Steve (Dirk's business partner) He's a jerk and deserves all the bad Karma coming to him......

(I say) I don't like cricket-a ...... oh no I love it-a yeah ........ I don't like cricket-a ............ no no I love it-a yeah .......

South Perth Cricket Club WACA Grand Final - Day 1
Richardson Park, South Perth.

2nd Grade - 5 for 91 chasing 105
3rd Grade - 3 for 67 chasing 131

OK so that's the cricket out of the way.... had a fab day with the wags... some nice champers, a few nibbles and lots of chat relaxing under the trees in the sun watching both games between to two pitches. Quite a lovely relaxing day.

My week this week has been a much better one (yay me) and so I've been able to throw myself into work and play catch up. Long days, early starts and late finishes earlier in the week slowing down slightly later in the week. The trip to the doc's on Wednesday was still positive. A slow down in the reduced blood test results, but they are still going down, and that's all that matters at the moment. I was also happy when Dr Ben said I could cut my Dexa's by half the amount. So now I've just been taking 5 pills instead of 10 !

Today was Cyclo day.... had a great morning catching up with some very special friends for morning tea. It was gorgeous just to sit on the deck chatting and laughing over a cup of 'rosie lee' The besty also came over with her gorgeous girls who were just beautiful this morning. Relaxed, funny and happy - I just love them when they're like that. My aunty skills improve no end !!! And I got pessies too :-) Not that that matters at all...... but we all like presses don't we ?? !! hee hee!!

The gorgeous Callie & Lil Miller

At around 4 ish the Cyclo effects started to kick in.... groan.... I'd kind of forgotten how they affect me after such a good week. But the memories soon came flooding back !! The first sign is the shakes..... they came on with a vengeance. Then the internal feeling of a silent jackhammer inside me started. There's no headaches (so not like a hangover) just the constant feeling that your blood all around your body is being shaken .... not stirred...... and then, after that the surging through my upper jaw. Like there's a bit of a vice like squeeze happening..... slowly and not painfully.... just a slight pull - it even stretches to the back of my eyes.



But one of the nicest things at the moment, is the compliments I keep getting. Everyone is telling me how healthy and well I look. It's hard taking compliments sometimes, but it really is very nice to hear. I feel OK most of the time. And I'm very happy with my weight progress (40kg's now !!) I wore my first pair of size 12 jeans to work yesterday !! wahoo !! It really is a fantastic feeling. If I could just get the last 3kg's off, I'd be at my goal weight. But at the moment, I'm not focussing on my weight loss so much as my health. So it's not a priority. If it happens, it will.


Tomorrow is back to the cricket to watch the final day.... and fingers crossed a couple of flags to bring home too. Then next week we're just not going to know what to do with ourselves. No cricket for 6 months !! sheeeeettttt !!! WTF !!! hahaha. I know there's a few girls that are going to be happy to see the end of this season. I won't lie that I'm not one of them. But at the same time, I know how important all these boys are to Dirk. I know how much they mean to each other and that their friendships and the club mean more to each other than us girls will ever understand. So what do you do.... let them play I suppose..... we have 6 months to get over it. We'll probably feel differently by October and be happy to see the back of them on weekends again !! lol !! At least we get to shop and they don't have a leg to stand on !!...... bwhahaha !!!

Tonight's sunset.....

Quick chinky take-away for tea.... some TV on the box and I'm ready for bed..... I have some champers in the fridge, chilling for us tomorrow, so will need a good night's sleep before I embark on another day... hopefully will be another good day .....

The sunset tonight was amazing.....
