Thursday 20th September
The word today is ‘subdued’, after the emotional turmoil of
yesterday I felt I needed to stay within the surrounds of home.
I took Jessie on her first cliff path walk along by ‘White rock’;
it was a gorgeous sunny morning and no wind. She loved it and was well behaved
even when she met another dog.
Mum’s taxi service was required to run daughter into College;
she had such a brilliant day yesterday, on a ‘team building’ day. Kayaking at
Archirondel, abseiling down Gorey castle, archery and orienteering were just a
few of the activities.
I felt it was safe enough to tackle some ironing as SC is
out of the island for the weekend and can’t chastise me! Back to College to
collect daughter and friend!
Arriving home I realised I had a problem, hubby had gone to
town and I needed an injection! Whoops! Thought about calling CM to see if her
Dr husband was home, thought about ringing Jdlh, and then son no 1 walked in- “Ah,
how do feel about giving me an injection?” “UH? NO!” Then son no 2 walked in,
same question, “Yeah, I can do that, easy”!!
I wisely called Oncology and got nurse KB to talk JL through
the procedure, while I readied myself i.e. lay down and covered my face with a
cushion!!! Armed with the needle and pointing it in the general direction of my
stomach he appeared in control, until he said…..”I’m worried” a second before
he stabbed me!!! (It was all fine really, the bruise is not that big…….)
Lunch and meadow
walking, I would have liked a swim but thought I’d better not…. I did some
gardening instead. Taxi service again, taking three of them into town before I had
supper and took Jessie to dog training class.
It feels like being in a kid’s 5yr old party where everyone
is on ‘blue smarties’! An hour later and I think she has played her socks off,
but not sure she’s learnt anything!!
Thank you to SleC and LH for the bouquets of flowers I received
today- so very very kind xx
Loved the blue Smarties description! xx
