I said I wouldn’t update until tomorrow but we’re home beore dark so I’ll do a quick one. I travelled okay, slow going on wet roads but overall the traffic was steady. The scan shows absolutely no growth in my organs, so that’s wonderful news. The oncologist is going to get back to us after…

We had more rain last week; 200mL in 24 hours overnight Thursday. The photos don’t really catch it, but it was certainly wet. And then without warning the weather cleared up, the sun came out and it was summer again. So we’ve had a nice weekend overall, if rather hot and humid. Mind you, the…

Six and a half weeks ago I had the second hand surgery. Since then I’ve been healing up and going to the hand physio regularly. While I’ve been disappointed by the limited range of movement, I’ve been pleased with the removal of pain and the nice way the scar has healed. I’m back to over…

I keep catching myself forgetting to do things. Or doing things that in retrospect don’t make as much sense as I initially thought. Case in point: it is *not* 30 years since 1997. It is 29 years. Next year will be 30 years, but not yet. Mind you, no-one pointed this out, of the various…

Today marks 30 years since my first day of paid employment as a public servant. On 12 March 1997 I began working 3.5 hours a week as a library assistant for a take home pay of $60 which used to be handed to me in cash in a small brown envelope. How things have changed.…

Today my son is 9 years old. Not 10, as he wants to be, but in his 10th year. Yesterday we had a family get together and dinner. Today we had the friends party. Nine years ago the weather was atrocious, today it was beautiful. A lovely celebration. Meanwhile our kittens are growing at pace.…

It’s been a mixed week. Overall I’m doing well, but I’ll admit I’m frustrated I can’t scale the mountains just yet. As many people have pointed out, it’s not exactly reasonable to push myself through a work day only to have to go straight to bed afterwards and not really have any energy for anything…

It’s been a week of “I didn’t”. I did go to work for five days, but I didn’t manage to do full time as I’d hoped. I needed naps most days, and by Thursday my energy was definitely flagging. I’m pleased with what I achieved but I will need to think about next week and…

Yesterday was my first day back at work, which was intellectually great, but rather tiring. I’m pleased to be back. My finger still has a long way to go to get proper mobility back but it’s getting well exercised, carefully of course, and I can sort of type with it. It doesn’t hurt to tap…

Today I drove for the first time since early November, after the hand physio gave the go ahead. It’s been quite the wait. I could have driven over the weekend but my only outings were to church and to dinner at my parents place, and both times I let my husband drive. My short drive…
