Getting back to normal

Saturday:  My simple deal with Martha and Katy was that I get as much rest as possible through the day and then I would be able to take them to Croma.  My only duties were to provide meals.  Martha and Katy took themselves out skating, and did quiet activities.  I got to rest and sleep, have a bath and get ready to go out.

Croma (Thanks Lizzie)
The three of us went to Croma to celebrate the end of my radiotherapy programme.  We ate well, and had a really good time together.  Martha and Katy were drawing animals on the table cloth.  Martha drew a dragon's eye that she was really proud of, and has put the picture into her folder.  They were both showing me really clever magic tricks.  We had a great meal together.

Sunday:  Again, I spend most of the day in bed.  I was disturbed by mum friends bringing gifts (I don't get up because I need to rest).  Rosy and Tanya bring round a loaf of bread, that Rosy has made.  It was warm and delicious.  I have never made bread, so I am very impressed.  Vicky (Ella's mum) brought round some ready cooked meals for me to put in the freezer.  I am very grateful for these too - it means that next time I have a bad spell, I can have good meals ready for Martha and Katy.

I pop round to see Anna, while Martha and Katy go to a neighbour's birthday party.  We have new neighbours with a daughter in year 6 at Brookburn, a son in Brookburn, and a son at Chorlton High School.  Martha and Katy are delighted, of course!

Tomorrow:
I plan to go for a walk after taking Martha and Katy to school.  I am hoping to continue walking fitness.  When I am ready, I will start to jog some of it.  Chris and Max - you are going to have to keep up to get ready for 2015 London marathon!

  1. Hi Sarah
    Glad to hear that the radiotherapy sessions have finished and that you could use the Croma voucher to celebrate with Martha and Katy. I'm going to be in Chorlton this Friday morning. Was going to see if I could pop round briefly to say hello (with baby Martha) about 11.45/noon? Will text you also.

  2. Blimey, Sarah, I can't believe you are still insistent on walking, even though you've been feeling poorly. You are amazing. I'd better get my training regime sorted out, and soonish! Now, where did I put that glass of wine......? xx
