Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow as the song says and by jingo it has! Fear not, I don't care about being snowed in as it's the long awaited 'Strictly Come Dancing' final tonight and the 'The Apprentice' final tomorrow and I have a fridge freezer full of food, my bungalow is toasty and I have a bottle of brandy to see me through!
I have no idea who will win tonight, but for two hours I will be transported into the glitter ball land of dance and if I have this transplant and if it's a success and all goes well, I realise there is a lot of ands there. I am going to learn how to dance. So Julie for all the things you have forced me into doing in the past... you owe me as a dance partner!
Pamela Stephenson said that she is grateful for Strictly, as it came at a time in her life when she felt invisible and I bet there are thousands of women nodding their heads with a resounding yes, who know that feeling only too well. Not only do I feel invisible when I'm normal, but when I'm in my wheelchair with my oxygen on, I feel pity glances coming my way, that is if they look at me other than tutting that I am in their way... yuk!
I went shopping today for a new coat in the pre-Christmas sales, especially after one of my friends who will remain nameless, said 'oh that's good to hear that you'll getting rid of the bag lady coat'. Hmm, the last coat was my bag lady coat, this one I thought I looked normal in! After my icy glare, she realised that she had made a bit of a faux par with the fashion police remarks and that her extra Christmas present had just been put back on the shelf!
Now I am wishing that I was invisible as I'm an old looking, overweight bag lady and that's not a good look.
Still I found a bargain coat, which the lining alone oozes class and a rather weird looking skirt both in the Per Una sales, which is defiantly saying 'she's back!' One thing I never was, was a safe dresser, so my old coat will be worn in freezing conditions, which looks like it will have plently of wearings and my new model will be worn when I want to look foxy!
And Karma prevailed, as my friend who is still loved, fell over on the ice!
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!
