Yay... my birthday weekend has started!
I know it's not officially my birthday till Sunday, but I've never been a girl to stand on ceremony, life is far too short.
So tonight we kicked off with a party at Jean's house with eight lovely ladies from Student Services. Out of the eight lovely ladies there, ten including Jean and myself, four are no longer working there, so it was a good chance to catch up and enjoy ourselves.
And it was warm tonight, so we were able to sit out in Jean's gazebo just like you are suppose to be able to do in summer!
We had lots of lovely food, drink and I had lots of lovely presents too. And we had lots of giggling and baudy laughing from Sam and me, especially when I coughed and popped off while sitting on Sam's lap when having a group photo.
Thank you all for a lovely evening, but especially thank you to Jean for arranging and hostessing it all.
I am so glad that I worked extra hard at the exercises in rehab this afternoon, as I must have racked up 2,000 syns or more on my diet tonight and I still have a party tomorrow night and Southwold on Sunday to go yet before my weigh-in on Monday.
But surely if the trifle is hidden under the fruit salad and I can't see it, then it doesn't count? Nope... didn't think that excuse would work.
But I had worked exceptionally hard this afternoon to the point that both my calves and upper arms thought they were going to burst a couple of times from the strain.
I also had the lady out to fix my 'Docobo' and it was the wires, so I am perfectly innocent this time. I knew I was. I have dropped my oxygen unit a couple of times before now and had to that fixed or be given a new unit in the past, but this time it was a malfunction on the electrical side of the 'docobo' so I am innocent my lud!
Ah well, I feel really tired but quite content with life, so I may go to bed now. I have in the kitchen more cake to tempt me with, this time in the shape of a lovely birthday cake which Sally had made for me. I may well take some into Rehab on Monday and share it with the others there.
I really am a lucky lady you know.
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!
