We have lift off

Today is the day.......slept surprisingly well, it must of been the reflexology and nail painting yesterday,calming the mind in preparation. Miki, my soon to be regular reflexologist was interested in the fact I carried around my healing crystals since my diagnosis, it was a beautiful sunny day yesterday and she told me to wash and 'charge' them on a window sill in the sun. I guess it is the equivalent of a mobile phone charger for 'vibes man'. She was brilliant and told me tales of the country where she is from, Japan. A place I have always wanted to go. She could tell from my feet that I had been a runner and said that it was a good thing....well I will take that, anything 'good' is double good for me right now.

Alas my crystals remain 'uncharged' and it is raining cats and dogs today, BUT, my tattoo design is imminent, the arrival is due between 9 and 10 today. Hooray!!

My darling girl has been so worried, it has broken my heart  her concern for me, but I have to say her teacher has been great, not to mention the school mums who are helping with pick ups and drop off' s with a rota in place implemented by a dear lady obsessed by spreadsheets :). I feel so grateful to every single person who is helping me right now, it's amazing the difference it makes to one's stoicism when faced with the prospect of having a hideous amount of toxic chemicals pumped into my weasley little body. I have my lovely chemo buddy coming with me who is switched on and will be my brain if I go to jelly and forget my name and date of birth.....

So onwards upwards....let the cat see the mouse.....may the force be with me ...........and I shall indeed kick bum and all that.

om. peace and do the fandango,.......
