The weekend

Thursday 09.02.17 - Went to work as planned today - quite an uneventful day!

Friday 10.02.17 - Quite tired today, but nonetheless spent a good part of the day helping my mum get a few bits for her new home and a bit of shopping, my sister took Sam horse riding and after preparing a casserole for dinner, I rested! Glad the weekend is here and half term for Sam who I think needs a good break - hopefully going away for a couple of days to Norfolk next Thursday-Saturday.

Saturday 11.02.17 - Had a lay in today just chilling, then went into town to get setting spray for my wig and nail cream to try and keep my nails strong while I am having chemotherapy! One problem today - hunger! I cannot stop eating!! Reno and Sam keep telling me my body is working so hard with all the drugs trying to keep well and strong that it is inevitable I need more food for energy! But feeling hungry all the time goes against how my mind works in trying to keep me trim! Reno had to work really hard keeping me away from every smell of food in the town! With the hairdresser due at 12.45p.m. we headed home and once she arrived I realised I have to change my mind-set with the wig. The thing is when I look in the mirror I want to see my hair but I see something quite different - in fact its very similar - but that's not how I see it - the hairdresser explained that other people really won't be able to tell especially since she has trimmed and shaped the wig more, it actually does look ok, I have to learn to "go with it" instead of fighting it! So that's that then - I only really want the wig for going out sometimes so go with it I will!! Chilled  for the rest of the day with Reno and Sam - lovely.

Sunday 12.02.17 - Today I can honestly say was the first time I woke up and felt rubbish, real rubbish! I felt like I was smelly! grumpy! my taste was deteriorating and generally I felt Crap! Reno and Sam were quick to reassure me that I wasn't smelly and I was entitled to be a bit grumpy! I had to shake myself, I really didn't want to feel like this all day! I showered and dressed and asked Reno and Sam if they would take me to the park for a walk! We wrapped up warm and did exactly that - it really was lovely and made me feel so much better though hungry of course!
After lunch we had a great afternoon watching Bridget Jones's Baby - a great film which I highly recommend - really funny - a great tonic! Mum came for dinner and the weekend was soon over with Reno having to go to Felixstowe this evening ready for an early start for work on Monday. I love our family time at the weekend - somehow nothing else really matters, nothing else at all.

Monday 13.02.17 - Been to work today as usual - left me feeling very tired but that's ok - I can deal with that - rest and naps til bedtime!
