Been awake since 2.30am thanks to a) Monty barking for no discerable reason and b) blinkin steroids. Took 3 (instead of 4) this morning and just one of the other anti-sick meds. I don’t feel sick so hopefully that will be sufficient. Prunes/dried apricots combined with laxatives are also being effective so thanks for that tip Carole. I’ve discovered Sainsburys ready to eat vanilla prunes and vanilla apricots. Delish.
After my sleepless night watching a Big Train dvd then a bit of Gavin & Stacey, I went back to sleep at about 7.15 for an hour until daughter wanted me to plait her hair for her. Then again at about 9 until my friend phoned to see how I was. Asleep is how I was, so I didn’t answer the phone. Then the postman knocked on the door 10 minutes later. Was just drifting off again when said friend phoned again. I still didn’t answer, but gave up and got up.
Hair everywhere on the pillow Mary, I think I’m going to have to resort to the clippers today too because it’s just getting irritating finding hair everywhere and it’s really too thin now to wear out so I’m going to have to go with scarves anyway.
Piper - EPO is Evening Primrose Oil. It’s component is GLA which is something Linoleic Acid I think. Good for PMT actually - I used to take it a few years ago when I was suffering with that a bit.
Back and legs been aching since I had the chemo, I mean really aching enough to take painkillers. They did last time as well and I thought it was just because I’d been so tense beforehand, but now I think it’s probably a side effect although what’s causing it I don’t know. I also have sausage fingers. Typo’s galore in typing this - my brain won’t co-ordinate my fingers to type in the right order. Most irritating, although also amusing as my first attempt at that sentence said my brian won’t co-ordinate. Dang that Brian.
Donny Osmond was my young heart-throb. Then the Bay City Rollers. I had their autographs from when my dad once stayed in a hotel they were in. I wonder what happened to those… the autographs, that is (might be worf somefink on ebay), I know what happened to the BCR. Well, Les McKeown is in rehab and a right old state anyway.
Right I’m off for a hot bath to soothe my achey breaky legs. Toodles.
