Good morning all!
This is the last week of Conslidation 3.1 so I have chemo tomorrow and bloods on Good Friday. Next week it will just be blood tests Tuesday and Friday. I am getting quite tired so it will be good to have a small break. There are all the usual side-effects as well as the steroid impact on my sleep, or lack of it, but it is all manageable.
I quite like being awake in the middle of the night and getting through my chores - the house is starting to look a little tidier! I actually slept much better last night - 2 hours and then a solid 3 hours. Of course I felt groggy when I got up at 6am but you can't have everything.
I had a lovely day yesterday. The village I live in is full of talented and interesting people. One of the many musicians had organised an acoustic session in the pub. So I was able to walk 10 minutes round the corner, drink Adnams Southwold (1/2 pint only) and listen to live music and chat to the folk I know here. You're probably wondering why I am drinking beer - my taste buds have thrown a wobbly and water tastes odd. Beer still tastes like beer - what do you think my consultant will say?!
After the live music a friend and I had a fantastic hour with a small business owner opposite the pub who does hat hire. My friend Hazel's elder twin daughter (my youngest daughter's best friend) is getting married in Oxford on 2 April so we went to sort out our hats. Liz managed to find both of us something wonderful and we had a huge laugh into the bargain!
We are expecting a houseful for Easter so Andrew already has the menu sketched out!
