About Me

My photo
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!

A mental slap?

Well tomorrow is here and things have settled down again in my head. Had a bally awful night as one; it was so hot and two; there was so much going around in my head, that I couldn't switch off so sleep evaded me until about half three this morning.
I was woken up with a drill for an alarm clock about 9.00am. After muttering about how inconsiderate some neighbours were, I realised it was coming from outside mine! Derek bless him had come to mine to mend the front hanging basket which was coming away from the wall with the weight of all the blooms. One thing I am good at is hanging baskets and pots. Also to put my birthday present to myself up, a Venetian plastic chandelier! I had to promise him not to buy anything else like that as it was a pain to put together, but it looks lovely, plastic or not!

Next visitor was my friend Stella to give my bungalow the once over and to do all the jobs that I struggle with and it looks lovely now and smells so fresh. There was also another smell, lemon drizzle cake and apple cake straight from her oven, so the kitchen smelt like a kitchen should do... yummy.

I guess ok I do need help and a lot of it at times, but as my good friends say, it's karma for never turning my back when help was needed for others. So I must stop this feeling maudlin and start being me again. God help the world if I get my mojo back!
Ooo and 47 cards now Oliver!

Lots of love Debbie x
