How can you ever get bored in dear old England when part of the day it is so hot you don't know where to put yourself and the other part of the day, you have to swim to your car as you get three months rain in an hour!
Now I say I didn't know where to put myself, my mother on the other hand did; in her garden planting things! I hate gardening, my own needs doing and it's still escaped her notice that I have an oxygen cylinder attached to me. I guess she has what I had when I was younger; selective hearing, but in her case it's selective sight... 'why are you hanging on to the table with your knuckles so white, panting like that dear and why are you so blue everywhere else?'
When I snarled at her to stop ordering bloody plants, she just smiled sweetly and lied through her false teeth, saying they were freebies! Of course she didn't hear me muttering, 'free or not, the next lot will be shoved where the sun don't shine and plants don't grow!' otherwise I wouldn't be typing this now.
After 'my tasks', I went off shopping with Ann and we treated ourselves to some bright sandals each and then a pub lunch. Gosh I am such a light weight, one half of ice cold lager and lime and I fell asleep for an hour on the sofa when I got home. It took me a luke warm bath to come to again. I guess a heavy work week, a late night at Fanny's last night and then when I got home googling who won Big Brother last year at 1am, as both Julie and myself had a mental block, actually caught up with me and the lager just mellowed me out nicely.
Still I sprung back to life and went to see 'Street Dance' at my second home, the cinema with Ann. We sat in the dark with our 3D glasses on, overdosing on pick ad mix and I must admit, I did think I was going to puke at first with all the back flips and spinning, looking like they were going to leap out at you from the screen. But it actually once my eyes and brains caught up with each other it proved quite a good film. When I've had my op, I can't wait to get dancing again, but maybe I'll leave out the back flips!
Lots of love Debbie x
About Me
- Me...Debbie Burden... or known as Burders
- I'll be 55 this August... I've had bronchiectasis for ten years plus this year... End stage lung disease for the past year...been on oxygen for three years... and have I got used to it yet?... nah! I am now waiting for the biggie; a double lung and maybe a heart transplant. I love my life weirdly enough, because I have some wonderful family and friends who are with me every step of the way on my adventures, even though I embarrass them on a daily basis with my unorthodox way of looking at life. Not for the faint hearted!
