Well I´m back in body , but I believe I´ve left my brain in the UK . If seen , will you please pop it in a box ( small ) and post to me , I´m slightly better with it than without it !! It will be a small walnut looking wrinkled thing , you´re alright , it won´t move or bite you , in fact even when attatched ,there is very little movement or sign of life !
Yes thank you June , but as you will guess from Sandra , I´m a complete dinosaur when it comes to computers ,Sandra , and others have tried to educate me , but I´m afraid i´m a hopless case.I´m brilliant at copying and pasting with my GC , just love to get messy with the glue , but somehow it does´nt seem to work on this , the keys get sticky and nothing happens !! ( might be better when I get my brain back !) Cats fine , but the dogs looking worrie until he knows I´ve got this off ok !
Had a Heather moment today …Yes indeed girls .
Went to dog training . Had to get up at 7.30 to get ready to take him out first to tire him out , then stop on the way for breakfast . Of course it´s dark here until gone 8am at the moment , so just dragged my underwear out and did´nt bother too much .
Well there we are , working well , Jack doing what he´s asked , and I had that awful feeling , you know the one , when you feel your drawers coming down . Ok , so I was wearing trousers , but it was the most uncomfortable experience as they slid down each trouser leg . I tried to hoist them back up , but it did´nt work , and our trainer , asked me if I had fleas . Good job ,he´s ex metropolitan police dog handler else he might have taken exception to the answer !
Some different topics arose while I was away .
Weight …Yep , plentuy of this , creeping on all the time despite my efforts to halt the tide . I´ve totally lost my waist , and gone up two dress sizes . Hate it , but I need to be more positive in attempting to stop it . Wiring my mouth would be a good idea I think .
Cleavage …Tep , got that as well . However , at 59 , even though I have the best part of two bosoms , it aint worth looking at . Not too wrinkly , if anchored properly to my neck , but otherwise I´m in danger of treading on my nipples . I don´t do running , it´s scary . When I stop , they keep going for a good ten seconds , it´s as if there´s a couple of kittens stuffed up my jumper trying to get out Not nice !
Nipples …Yep , I have tqwo , but the one is´nt talking to the other as it´s pointing the other way now , and is definately smaller , more wrinkled and a different colour to the other .
Hair … No chemo , but the hair under both arms seems to have stopped growing , the hair on my head is definately a bit thin ( femara ) but you´ll all be pleased to know that my leg hair is growing like crazy . no getting out of the leg waxes !
I do know what you mean about your GC perhaps being a little frightened of the mans daughter . Yet sometimes children are more resilient and accepting of a little strangeness than we are . As a child i used to have school dinners . Our school (juniors ) was very small , so we used to have to go across the road to eat at another school . This was for what would be now called "special needs " children . The first day I went , I remember being a bit scared , but after that , not at all , there agian , these children were the same age and size as me , and I thought it was great fun to throw your dinner around , I wanted to join in . Funny what you remember is´nt it ?
When I wa at my son and dil´s last week , she had put a huge bag of baby and small boys clothes , it was supposed to be collected , but they had´nt come for it , so the bag was just there . Jo said she was going to get rid of it as it was taking up too much room and was in the way of the pram , so I bused it down into town and dropped it off at one of the cancer charity shops , I have to admit ,it was a toss up between that and the PDSA .
Don´t overdo it Sandra ,obviously circumstances have dictated that you´re very much needed at the moment , and you are going to help , but please think of your own health , you´ve not got over this lot yet , only just starting on the rads road , we don´t want our "Wise Old Owl " to be so tired that she falls off her perch ! Whose a plucker ? Hope Toby will be safe from your dogs , he´d have an awfully rude awakening from mine ! He loves dead goats , so I´m sure he´d be overjoyed with a live tortoise , on the other hand , he´s a staffie , his poor staffy brain would´nt be up to working out how to make Toby move or come out to play .
I remember "Lost In Space " Used to watch it on a sunday afternoon , never thought I´d be joiniing them ! Was it Dr Smith ? I do remember that one of the little girls in that went on to star with Julie Andrews in "The Sound of Music " I really envied that little girl . Wonder where she is now ? Bet she can use a computer .
Oh Gill what a nightmare time for you , your poor daughter , Hope it works out ok .
I was saying yesterday ( but it went .) that I shall be glad to get back to my pilates , I can really tell the difference not having been very often in the last two months cos of holidays etc . I am stiffening up , really bad at times , and the pains in my hands , feet and legs is so much worse , but it will be another week before I can really get back . Next week looks like being a disaster !
I know I won´t be back in the UK until next February , ( thank you Mr O´Leary …misery guts !) but when I do , I hope I can meet up with at least one or two of you , as this time I will have a car and be travelling around . Will be in the midlands for a time , " have wheels can travel ".
Good to see you back Tracey , and I endorse threefold everything you said , I feel lucky as well . Guardian angel …I think so .Good luck for Tuesday
Jackie , hows it going about your abcess , any neare getting it sorted , what a dreadful time you´re having with it .
Carol …come out come out wherever you are ! Better now ?
Isabelle , yes , we do get told some porkies don´t we . Seeing my miserable onc on monday , am not looking forward to it , or him .
Those poems were brilliant , such clever ladies , I thought you all said you had peachy brain , did´nt seem to zap any brain cells did it ?
Heather , how are you doing after your injection , has it made any difference , are you more comfortable now , still awake all night ?
Was catching up on some magazine reading while I was over there , DIL had some mags , and bought a few . Was reading about Sally ( Corrie ) Bernadette ( Nolans ) and Jennifer Saunders , is it just me , but do more celebs seem to have had BC this year , or is it just that I am now so aware of it ?
Must go , looks like rain , yes it does rain here , although not often , but when it does it comes down in stair rods .
Love to everybody , we´re such a big group now , it great , but I do feel I need a notebook as well as WOO ( Wise Old Owl ) but I need to get my brain back first .
Love to you all , hope the weekend is good , Strictly and the X factor , what a treat , OH sulks all evening !
luvKanga
