Nice Things

What’s going on - Round 1 Day #12

I feel well! Not very strong, a bit wobbly, but I’m just back from a walk to the shop (1.33miles) to buy eggs and refried beans.

Thanks to Elaine and Simon, the family xmas get-together took place on Sunday. I was able to join in due to the wonders of tech, as was my niece Clare from Columbia! Chatting to Clare about some of my experiences in Guatemala, I was reminded of the wonderful breakfasts we sometimes had; blue corn bread, refried beans, and poached eggs. Since then I have been craving that meal - which, if you know me, is astonishing - I never feel hungry! I even got up at 2 in the morning to order the blue cornmeal online - arriving today - was ever a bag of flour so eagerly anticipated?

I know that each chemo cycle will start with a grim week, and that it may get tougher as effects accumulate, but for today it’s good and I’m looking forward to enjoying some nice things, especially Xmas day with LEIA, and E,M, and S of course. :) - (Please note the Oxford comma if you’re into that sort of thing!)

In other news - the hat I have been crocheting for the last 3 months is coming along well, and I will keep you posted on it’s progress.
