3 Too Many

Day 13 of 28 Treatment Free.

Firstly – a belated thank you to all those involved in looking after and assisting last Saturday when I was taken/in hospital, esp. Craig – very muchly appreciated.  So it is belated.

Well another footy day and a busy day that I will have to pace myself for as going to footy tonight so need to conserve my energy.  Woke with a bit of pain in back, legs and head but – well – its normalish now to feel like this so deal with.  On with the day and its a slow start for all.  The lads appear so get brekky orders and get that underway for all.  Logistical arrangements are made and sorted for who is going to whose game and how and who with.  Bugger when you only have one driver!

Jacob and I are dropped off at Fish’s house and then go to his game from there.  Jacob’s team play fairly well and are on a huge field so are a bit lost to start with. Second half is better and they have several good chances and the end result is 1-1 with FC2011.  Lachlan’s team come out winners 7-1 – fantastic result – over Cashmere Tech.  Jacob & I head for home with Tricia and Connor – thank you.  I’m not going to the senior game today as they kick off at 1pm and as I’m in for a late night I need to go home to have a rest.

Get home and boys get cleaned up and fed, as they are going to stay at Kylie and Marks, and the boys tonight.  I have a lay down on the couch and doze off fairly quickly.  The boys wake me to say goodbye and I’m off to nap land again.  Set the alarm to wake me before Bernard comes over.  We are meeting here then getting dropped off at the game. 

Sorry – the game I’m going to is the Crusaders vs Hurricanes game, I am a corporate guest of The Press in the First 15 lounge – so catered 3 course dinner, drinks, game & coffee and cheese & crackers after match.  Sue drops us off for dinner about 5:30.  Very nice start to the evening – dinner is lamb & vege and cheesecake for dessert.  I am even a bit of a rebel and bare to try a light beer.  It is yuck!! Just like drinking a glass of liquid sugar.  Manage to chew my way thru it but not enjoyed.  Also no side effects so all good.  Over to the game then, which is also a bit of a tester for me as I haven’t been able to handle crowds or a lot of noise for a while.  I manage to survive it well which is good as it means to that I will be able to try to go to the movies with the boys with out flipping out.  Not the most spectacular game (& definitely not helped by the reffing – wowser!!!).  Still enjoyed it none the less.  The new stadium is set up fairly well work nicely.  Great you can hear the players on the field – and gives some meaning to the crunching tackles when you can hear the smack clear as from your seat.  Back then to dinner for coffee and cheese & crackers and a bit of a yarn about the game.  Great evening out all together.  Bernard and I get a taxi home then.  Sue is still up watching the Social Network movie, so make a hot drink and have some nibbles and watch it too while having a general fat chat. Sue then heads to bed and Bernard and I watch Paul while nattering still.  Funny movie! Nice end to a good day and evening.  Its been a long day but nice to just chill and unwind. Do M&D when I got home too.

Hope all had an enjoyable and fun Saturday – sorry this is late.

Kia Kaha.
