Happy Days

So Sunday was a tummy pain free day and that was excellent!

Friends at Church supportive and generally lovely. Quick stop off at my sisters to collect the Macmillan booklet about Thyroid Cancer with the comment "that was really helpful". Result! Then on to Mum and Dads for the traditional Sunday roast, which as ever, was delicious and totally nutritious - I feel then that at least Juliette and I are getting one "proper" meal a week. They seemed to appreciate being offered the booklet too, so that was good. Flying visit to the park, terminated by a sudden downpour but refreshing being out in the sun, wind and rain. Tea and cake, followed by a visit to see Snow White.

Snow White a busy lady, but good to catch up with latest news etc. Home and early to bed for my beauty, off to school in the morning again.

Unfortunately my beauty did not find the whole truth so easy to take as it originally appeared. On Saturday she completely went to pieces as she got into bed and yesterday was just as bad. Poor girl, she is so worried about us being separated. She now has what she describes as tummy wiggles when she worries. The best medicine for such upset seems to be big hugs and a patient listening ear, straight forward answers to questions and lots of reassurance.

Today I tried to ignore the alarm clock and then had to hurry my beauty along with breakfast etc. Another sore night but ibuprofen seemed to ease the situation thankfully. So now my beauty is old enough, in my opinion, to walk to school with one of our neighbours children on their own, so I feel quite cut off from school, and I don't even have to get dressed first thing - this is definitely a bad thing! I could happily bumble around in my dressing gown for a whole day!

Anyway I decided that if I am going to be out of action for a week or two after next Wednesday, I need to get my physical fitness back to it's pre-op (middle of August) state. So threw some clothes on and hurtled off on my bike to hot yoga. Phew made it and actually got through a whole hour without a single unallowed rest, must be doing well. Will try and fit in another session this week too.

Collected my beauty from school, given a lovely CD by another Mum, and then persuaded that we must go swimming as a friend was going. OK but tight schedule ahead. Home, get stuff, swim, out in 40 mins, home, dinner on, eat and out to dentist for 5.35pm. Amazingly we did actually manage all that and my beauty was very brave having her first ever injection for a filling. All done, home, bath, hair wash and bed for beauty. Then my PC friend popped in and we had a good chin wag.

Wow, I am pretty much loving being back to full action again, must cram in as much as possible before next Wednesday. So much to look forward to - very excited about going to my first pottery class in new venue next Monday morning.

Praise God for so much life to live. Night all x
