because I'm a happily married and totally respectable woman and anyway my husband is twice as lovely (sorry Rich....)
I have date with a tubby little Greek man who just so happens to be a colorectal surgeon...... I'd like to report that he's taking me somewhere nice but that's unlikely to be the case - however he is taking away half my insides (Oh okayyy! I'm exaggerating, he's *only* taking 15 inches of my colon and another 6/7 inches from the rectal area.......) and altering all my bodily functions, on Tuesday, 9th November.
I'll not have to queue for this again once I'm all settled down >>>>>>>> :-)
Keep me in your thoughts this day (unless of course they cancel it again....)
Apart from that what's been happening?
Not too much really. I ran out of some of my supplements and have noticed the difference in how I'm feeling, my energy levels have definitely dropped off and I've gone back to feeling constantly tired again.
I've now ordered more knowing that I need to take them, at least up until the operation, to ensure I'm in good condition beforehand.
Yesterday Rab and I took Djamel shopping for new school shoes, few new pens, a couple of study books he said would be useful and a French dictionary and we had lunch out (just Pizza, nothing extravagant)....returned home £95 lighter!
I have no idea how people cope on only one income but we'll soon be finding out how to live on much less.
My money will go to half pay this month - and I have no reason to feel ungrateful because it's great that my employer's have paid me for this whole absence and will now continue to do so for the next 6 months at half pay rate.
Many people out there get diagnosed with cancer and then have to work out how they can survive on sickness benefit @ £78 a week.
We could not manage on that and would probably have to take other action - all of which has been discussed just in-case!
Today I cooked Guinea Fowl for sunday dinner - why? Because I've never cooked one before.
It was nice actually - so if you've not tried it before take the plunge :-) Quite enjoyable - even though I only eat the smallest bit of meat/poultry these days.
Veggies served with the lovely Guinea Fowl came courtesy of Loretta's allotment, Cauliflower, Red Cabbage, Spinach - all delicious Loretta, thank you..... :-)
Last week I just did very little, had a few days where I just wanted to sleep again after Dj had gone off to school....partially a bit of stress I think and partially lack of supplements, plus got a few worries about other people out there....and life goes on eh
Catch up soon x
