Getting out of the house for a whole morning without going near a hospital or a doctor! I met some colleagues to start planning a conference and to socialise, and got some projects to work on at home, as well. I felt normal and managed to forget BC for a while.

booking my new rough coated chocolate patterdale pup for in 3 weeks time my 8th terrier to be my stud dog have spent months trying to find the right one for my bitches. Cant wait to get him home.
The sun is shining and the sky is a glorious blue! It makes me feel happier, and I’m going to hang my washing out, then have a good look at all my hens, etc! Beautiful day for it.

That’s fab!!!
I’m happy as have plummeted for a few days, clawedy way back up, and hAve been for my second run, in the rain, this morning. Off to see dave spikey at locK comedy club tonight too. About to have a bubble bath. Thinking how much life had improvedfrom feeling so I’ll from Chemo six months ago. And I appreciate it!
Thanks Choccie Muffin –Great thread!
Crawfo64 – I laughed and laughed even though I know you were in pain. Thanks for sharing with us. Like Sophie I had to wipe my eyes and blow my nose.
This thread (and all the others) make me happy today.
knowing that i cannot feel any worse and must feel better soon…inspired by Tors saying how much better she is feeling…xx
Being taken out for the day to go shopping and have lunch by some lovely friends who knew I was feeling very low and anxious as I await results of Gynae investigations.
Long walk on the Poldens up to a monument with border collie. Chucking it down for the whole time.
Wonderful views. Saw rare breed sheep. Dog climbed half way up tree after squirrels and got stuck :-). Watched a deer for ages. Did qigong in the woods on my own like a madwoman (in the rain).
Walked back in the half-dark. The rain was nothing compared to chemo drugs. My hair is still wet. A happy afternoon
Meeting with a friend, chatting, mooching around London, lunch and feeling normal for a few hours
Getting up early after actually having some sleep, getting shopping and not spending as much as expected, visit from a friend and a walk round the village which we haven’t done for ages, getting home 5 minutes before the heavens opened, lunch together then going for a coffee at eldest son’s followed by picking up youngest son, girlfriend and daughter and then having roast pork etc.
Now sat with a coffee and my darling daughter.
Simple things which I wouldn’t have even thought worth mentioning 18 months ago but now bliss.

Laughing for the first time in 4 days - thanks to QI on iPlayer…
Actually wanting to go for a walk today and feeling great after…seeing a bit of blue sky…homemade brocoli soup with garlic bread…watching the cat yawning and purring on a cushion - she knows how to have a good time
making cakes with kids, then seeing OH’s face when eating them lol
Just the thought of going into work for a few hours this week, is making me happy…something else to think about
…OH home after 2wks away, the rain’s stopped, residual wound pain comes and goes but not taking any constipation-inducing painkillers but, the best…Friends from Oz are house-sitting in Sweden and are giving me an Easyjet gift token, so I can go and visit them. They’re v excited about being in London for The Wedding, but we shall be away then, so we wouldn’t have met up this year.
Anyone any experience of a Baltic Island in late March - sounds loadsa woollies to me, Barbara
A friend coming round for a cup of tea with a chicken casserole (with acccompaniments) tucked under her arm!

Catching up with a friend who I haven’t seen for nearly 2 years. x
