I wandered out in the world for years............ while you just stayed in your room........ I saw the crescent....... you saw the whole of the moon! ......

Four day weekend..... over already.... sigh !!! Complete sugar overload ! Sunday morning I had Easter eggs for breakfast.... not the best idea..... about an hour afterwards I felt like shite !! and there was no other excuse for it..... too much chocolate. But you can guarantee that come next Easter I will do exactly the same again and go through it all again !!!
The sleep-in's have been fantastic. Not having to wake up at any particular time really suits me.  This morning (Monday) I even got up and walked the dogs with Dirk. I wasn't going to to go, I was going to have a bit more sleep, but then I thought it would probably make me feel better if I went, so I dragged myself up and walked to the park. Everything is a bit of a struggle at the moment. But having said that, I really did feel better for going.


We've also managed to have some relaxing catch ups over the weekend too. Sunday we caught up with Dirk's brother and partner - had a lovely bottle of bubbles and some vino, sat back on the balcony and chatted. And on Monday had some friends over for a late afternoon BBQ. It was so relaxing I felt sleepy by 5pm and almost snook off for a Nana nap !! I have to say a BIG thank you to Callie who bought the most divine sticky date pudding !! OMG it was ay-may-zing !!

It's now Wednesday... I worked from home yesterday and got quite a bit done. I got up to dial into my weekly meeting with North America only to find it was cancelled once I'd checked my emails.... but I was up so I hit the keyboard and started working. My only interruption for the day was a trip to the Dr's to get a pregga's test. It is becoming quite a pain having to get this done all the time. Even to pick up the second part of my script (because they won't give you the full prescription in one go) I have to go and get one !! I now have bruising on my arms from the band they put around your arm to find the vein, and also one from the "blow out" she had at the Zometa infusion last week.  As well as the big one on my leg from the wee slip I had (Mav's wee that is !) I look like I've been bashed up by Dirk !!

The Engagement party is pretty much booked and ready to go. (I think) I'm just waiting on the final quote from the caterers and we should be good to go. BIG question is new frock or not?? I hadn't really thought too much about it. Dirk would say not, but I would say "why not" !! It's probably too late for an online jobby, so I may have to hit the shops and see what's around. My biggest fear fr the night is the weather.... as it's beginning to cool down a bit now, if it rains, I think we'll be stuffed !! we have about 60+ people coming over so it's going to be a squeeze even with the outside area... if it rains, I think there'll be people in the bedrooms too !! Oh well... I'm sure we'll squeeze in somehow.....

mmm vanilla fudge !!

So now all I'm wishing for is for mum to hurry up and get better. She's back in hospital again and to be honest I'm not happy about it at all. It's so worrying to know she's just not feeling better. This has been going on too long now. I'm sure dad is worrying more than anyone. As long as they know that I'm OK and they don'y have to worry about me at all. I'm coping well and all my test results are showing that the drugs are working. Nothing to worry about here. Cancer really is a fucking bitch !!
On a brighter note... I found my vanilla fudge today so craving has been satisfied and all is good with world again !!

My morning view when I woke up today......He is a typical male !!
