A lovely day out there today and it looks like it should be good all week, which is hopeful as St. Swithens day is on the 14th July and if it rains then, then we are in for 40 days and nights of the wet stuff.
I know, I know, I am a superstitious old fruit cake who talks and salutes to Magpies and performs money spells on a full moon, but can't hurt to try and help to encourage a bit of good luck my way.
I'd be happy with just getting my washing dry at the moment!
I had some treatment on my blessed verrucas first thing this morning and although I don't hold out a lot of luck in getting rid of them as I've had them for years now, it would be nice to make sure that I don't get anymore spring up.
I am rather agreeing of the theory that as my immune system isn't too brilliant and that they are positioned right on the lung area of the foot... if you don't know anything about reflexology, the lung area is the fleshy part of the foot below the toes... that I might well be stuck with them till after my transplant. If I get one of course.
Next I had to take mother to go to see the nurse again this morning and unless mother was bluffing, we might be making headway with getting in some personal help for her a couple of mornings a week.
If she agrees to that, then that would be a great help.
We ended up having fish and chips afterwards as a bit of a treat for her, so there's nothing wrong with her appetite just as long as it's not always the same boring frozen dinners. I do try and get her good range of quality frozen meals, but freshly cooked food is far more appealing for her.
After she was settled, I went off to pick up Reni and we went for a ride over to the Blue Egg or Blue Goose, not sure what it's called, but it out in the sticks and has lovely food in the little posh cafe and a little shop with lots of lovely pretty things that you don't really need but just want them.
Before we went in, Reni gave me a lovely gold sequined heart and a thank you card for my help with the fund raising... I do love that young lady you know, and then she brought me a rather scrummy cake to go with an ice cold drink... bonus!
I stocked up on some rather funny birthday cards, as I seem to get through birthday cards at a rate of knots. I think I'd rather have a birthday card than a present sometimes, but don't hold me to that, as I'm quite fickle at times and would be heartbroken if I didn't get a pressie.
I also brought some rather splendid geraniums for outside my new garden shed. I was looking for a cute 'Debs Shed' sign so I could hang it over the door, but zilch. I'll keep looking.
By the time we'd done a food shop via the way home and carried in my food shopping and then made mother's supper, I was absolutely pooped. Perhaps it was a case of trying to do too much too quickly?
As I've finished my antibiotics at 6am this morning, I feel that I can treat myself to a glass of ice cold cider, the one that I brought yesterday. So please excuse me, but I have a date with something lovely!
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!
