3 Too Many

Well starting it early today as it is tiring me out waiting till 9 at night to 1 finger type about my day.

Bad sleep night – not sure why but I’ve resigned to not having a steady sleep pattern anymore.  Head was hurting a bit too, but decided that I’m going to suck it up a bit & minimise the drug input (pain killers, sleeping tablets – non essentials anyway) as over the next few months I am going to be taking in so much poison with Chemo, etc, that I may as well take the chance to try to be normal for a bit. (no comments about my normality either! ) Don’t panic – not going alternative just aware of how many drugs esp. pain killers I’ve taken in, plus while sleeping tabs work – I wake up slow and  tired & hate that.

As promised the Easter Egg got wiped off  (well half anyway) in the gym this morning.  Felt great burning it off so happy. 

My portacareers and I are taking part in the Global Corporate Challenge which The Press is supporting  – starting on May 24, the GCC is a 16 week virtual walking journey around the world. whereby a team of 7 attempt to cover 10k steps per day in total. Details here – http://www.gettheworldmoving.com/  You may wonder why I would want to be involved esp. when I’ll be in the middle of Radiation & Chemo – it will give me something to aim for & get me on my feet  for each day and as it is a team event it is in my nature to not want to let the team down. Also I can convert km’s from the spin bike to steps, & I have a stepper as well to mix it up – so house bound activities.  I know madness but again – the way I work in case you don’t realise it.

Had a Nice visit from Alex Van der Klip, a good friend who is in town on business after moving to the Tron.  Haven’t caught up in a while so nice to see him.

We’ve been out for dinner with Wendy & Greg tonight – Indian – fun eating it without wearing it – Random left hand was not allowed to be involved in the eating part – well not too much anyway.  Lots of rich Indian food – oh well another reason to workout in the gym tomorrow morning.

Radiation Specialist appointment tomorrow morning then back to Logistics for a catch up with Nigel our IT Top Man for Fairfax NZ.   Have a few questions for the Radiation guy & trying to think of more – got to hit them up while they’re there.  Will record this conversation with him too, like I did Fridays so have it to playback in case of miss hearing things, as lots to take on board sometimes.

Then its back to Logistics (where our Portacom temporary offices are setup for work since the quakes for those whom don’t know or are out of CHCH – hence why you may have seen me mention Portacot & PortaCare) for a catch up with Nigel our IT Top Man for Fairfax Media NZ.

Thinking of ironing a shirt soon – maybe scorching the left hand a bit – actually it has been on fairly good behaviour today so maybe not – I’ll let it have a reprieve – this time

Then maybe bed to try to get some sleep finally – undrugged except for the standard must take bedtime ones.  As  starting to fade now.

Kia Kaha, All
