Another busy weekend with work cutting into activities, but
also a lovely win with another pair of Levi’s 501’s - I went back to get another pair, could only
get them a size smaller which has happily worked out rather well – these ones
don’t slide down a little when I walk.
I picked up my mew car on Monday night. It is a newer version of my much loved Tourneo and
hopefully will bring me as much joy and comfortable driving experience as the
one I’ve had for the last 3 years. It seems odd to be so attached to a car, but
it’s been a pleasure to drive and so very practical with the massive dog crate
being permanently set up in there and the ability to have Bob in there too. I’m
still having ‘memory fail’ moments about it being a button start rather than a
key, I keep panicking that I might have walked away and left the keys in it.
The heated seats however are a joy.
I’m back to the Spinal surgeon on Thursday now I’m finished
the Steroids for the allergic reaction to the Gaberpentin. I’m hoping he can
suggest something else to try rather than stabbing me in the neck with a big
needle, the Gaberpentin had actually started to have the desired effect before
it all went wrong, the feeling to my skin in my left arm had started to return
to normal and the heavy feeling had gone – it’s all back again now.
Monthly bloods again on Friday, fingers crossed the badly
behaved thyroid has started to behave a little better and the readings come a little
more in line with normal, I’m so over the thyroid weirdness now, it’s rubbish
and I’d like it to get itself under control.
In other news Gareth and I have managed to do something
which is almost completely unheard of ……
We’ve booked a holiday !!!
It will be our first proper holiday together in 2 years !!!
We are going for a week in August to Watchett in Somerset. We
have booked a dog friendly holiday rental with a completely secure garden for
the beasties to run in. It seems such a long way off, but it’s only 5 months
away. We decided to stay in the UK this year because Amber has been so frail
with her stroke and her age that we didn’t want to leave here with Aunty Kathy or
Kennels in case something happened. When that time comes we want to be with
her, holding her, telling her we love her and it’s okay to run free now.
(cripes but just typing that had tears welling up)
Apart from that, life is incredibly beige if I’m honest, I
feel like I should have more fun, be more exciting, I’m sinking into middle
aged dullness.
So my promise to myself for going forwards is that I’m going
to do more and be more, just more everything. Reading my own updates I’ve
decided I need to have a more exciting life
