The count down

I must be home – it’s pouring with rain and the fog horn is sounding off in the harbour. I had a great holiday and I’ve come back feeling well and rested – there’s nothing better than a bit of sun in your old bones! Apart from eating well and soaking up the sunshine, I also managed to do a bit of clothes shopping but the best bit was spending a whole week not centred around my virus – I almost forgot about it!

I got back to find an email and letter from the Professor reminding me about Monday next – ONLY 3 days to go! I’ve decided to make the most of feeling well so have organised a bbq on Sunday (rain or shine) and have invited some friends over. Perhaps it’s a case of just keeping busy…….
We fly to London on Monday morning but my appointment isn’t till late Monday afternoon – I shall have time to do a bit more ‘real’ shopping, perhaps get my nails done and stock up on Rise and Shine muffins from Starbucks. I don’t know how long the appointment is going to take and it really doesn’t matter too much as we are not going to try and rush back on the evening flight. My good friend Beverly has loaned me her flat again (thanks toots!) so if I suddenly get the onset of flu symptoms I can curl up and go to sleep in familiar surroundings. We have a bit of time to kill on Tuesday morning before flying home but don’t suppose I’ll feel much like shopping….

On a happier note, I am planning already to take another sunny break in about four weeks – 48 weeks of this treatment seems an awfully long time so I’m going to break it up into little chunks. Perhaps the treatment won’t seem as bad if it’s sunny outside?
