THEN

I think I've worked out why I gained (or lost, bear with me, my memory is rubbish, remember?) a day a while back. 

I've clearly forgotten one reading, maybe two. It has happened more than once - but when I get around to filling it in it goes where there's a space, rather than where it should be - this is only if I'm doing twenty seven billion things at once. Actually, it probably takes me doing just two things to forget. 

But that seems the best explanation why a day disappeared or was gained. 

Memories....

So the world of weird has re/appeared these last two days.

In my head I'm staying indoors today because I'm due a delivery from Nespresso and Ocado are delivering our food too. 

The reality is that I did a Nespresso order a week ago and Ocado are delivering tomorrow. So now I'm trying to work out why I've set today aside and I can't remember for the life of me. 

Yesterday we went for Afternoon Tea at Langshott Manor which was nice and empty so we had space from other people. I was still stuffed after two sandwiches and two scones plus a mini lemon meringue tart, so brought the food home with me. Husband fared better only bringing home his mini carrot cake. 

I've come to the realisation that lots of food and how I behave afterwards could have a weird side-effect. I get really tired (blood sugars? Even though I'm not diabetic) and then I need a nap and usually have one. It's a new thing, I'm listening to my body and getting on with whatever I need to. 

I'm also wondering if rubbish sleep equals a rubbish memory. I'd take that over more cancer growth a billion times. 

Electric Shock Revisited (2) (maybe?)

So that electric shock feeling that I got on my body (which I'm still putting down to chemo) has come back. It's a 1/10 level, easily ignored, but it's definitely back. 

I'm now wondering if it's actually a radiotherapy side effect as those are the ones kicking in at the moment. 

Fortunately my skin hasn't dried up, developed a rash or cracked up. 

Hair Revisited (3)

The patch is getting bigger, though I'm not sure how much more could fall out.

Did I Mention?

Back when my skin was peeling, my ears had a split area where the skin had peeled away - the front and the back. It was like having a wound that refused to heal until I found a cream that helped it go away. 

So yes, I had bad ears this year. 

Baby Ants 🐜

Today I haven't seen a single baby ant so I'm confident that they've all gone.

This means I get baby ant sized itches on my legs to really torment myself.

The Pub, Revisited

We have company - husband's sister is staying with us for a while. This is a good thing as I'll have someone else to chat to through the day and I might be able to persuade her to accompany me to Croydon for some last minute presents. (it's Fathers Day next Sunday)

They've all gone off for a nice walk and I'm going to meet them at the pub getting the bus there. I've checked the menu and most things involve cheese - still. 

We have been threatened with a thunderstorm last night - it didn't happen. There's also the potential for one this afternoon, though no signs as yet. 

Husband's sister was in Vietnam before getting to London and picked us up some sweet treats - dark chocolate dipped satsuma pieces. They're delicious. Though by the time we started eating them we wondered why there were lots of small ants on the table. It looks like some Vietnamese small ants are having a little London break. 

So in some ways I'm kind of glad we're not eating at home (ants) as you won't find them down the pub. 

Yet in other ways I wish I was eating at home thanks to the amount of cheese I may well end up eating this afternoon.
