Chemo day 3 - good again :)

Morning activity
Morning activity has been creating Halloween costumes for a dress up day at school on Friday.  Martha is going to be the Devil's wife (I think).  Katy will be a dead school boy.

We also dug out our Halloween decorations, which we will put up next week.

Chemotherapy
I struggled to stick to my times today.  It is easier to do it properly while Martha and Katy are at school!  I ended up starving hungry, waiting to eat my lunch that was late, because I had forgotten to take a tablet.  Martha and Katy ate properly at the correct time!

I feel OK. I do not feel ill, just tired.

Afternoon trip to Chorlton
We go to Quality Save for a few Halloween bits, and then to the knitting shop.  What a fantastic shop this is - in Chorlton Precinct - it sells everything for sewing, knitting, stamping, sticking ...  We buy wool and needles for Katy to make a purse, and for me to make a woolly hat.  Back at home, we then spend the afternoon knitting!  Katy has learned to purl confidently.  Martha is systematically creating her second side to her bag.

Hairy biker Dave - tikka misalla
I continue to use my Hairy biker cook book, and create a delicious tikka misalla.  Martha helped me cook, and Martha and Katy both loved it :)  It was very healthy and low fat.

Homework - please save me!!!
I am finding homework an incredible burden.  It is taking forever...  I would not let Martha or Katy watch Strictly Come Dancing tonight, until another piece of homework had been completed.  I was very short tempered and irritable.  Partly because I was tired, I know.  We watched most of Strictly in the end.  Come on Hairy Biker Dave!

Bedtime now
Good night - gotta get some sleep :)
