3 Too Many

“When all this is over, all that will matter is how we treated each other.” – Unknown

First up in the house again – nothing new – apart from it is 815am a house full of people and it is silent.  A late night again last night.  I headed to bed about 12:30 I think and the others kept going until about 1:30am.  Go downstairs and take my meds and make a cup of tea.  Quite sore today so going to have to manage my pain meds today.  Go back to bed to keep warm and read the News for the day on my tablet.  Get up and get ready to face the day.  Have a friendly game of footy today against the Halswell 45’s team heading to Timaru (South Island Masters) next weekend.  So force myself to eat some breakfast.

Quiet morning just hanging round the house, ‘Not doing much’ to use a real male term   Sue drops Jacob and I down to Halswell for the game.  We help take down the last set of posts on one of the fields then get ready for the game.  The weather has gone from sunny to hail and thunder to sunny again.  Bloody well can’t make up it’s mind.

Have a good run around, and actually feel good physically.  Manage to last most of the game.  Jacob kits up and comes on to play too.  He does really well and has a fun time.  Quite tiring in the sun as there is some heat in it.  I have a collision with Dave Whithers, well actually his elbow against my ribs.  Bloody well hurt too.  There’s not much flesh covering a 67 year olds elbow   Sorry Dave had to be cheeky.

Head over to the Old Vicarage to have a drink and a chat.  Then Jacob and I go to the bakery to get him something to eat, before starting to walk home.  Nice having a walk with Jacob as it gives you time to have a good chat and some laughs.  People must have thought we were mad walking along laughing away.  Get about half way when Craig goes past and turns around and comes back to pick us up.  Very kind of him, and good timing as it looks like it is about to thunder down again.  Thanks Craig.  Get home before the others, as they have gone Red Zone viewing today.

Everyone home and we have a quite evening.  I’m really hurting tonight – maybe did over do it a bit.  Oh well it was fun and I needed to test myself for next weekend.  Watch Eragon on tv – good movie.  Rattle out the blog and have a Milo while watching more tv.  I think I’m mentally ready to do my Chemo this round now.  I needed the footy as a blow out and de-stresser but also a test for my fitness.  Do M&D time then head to bed – with the electric blanket on to ease the pain.  Trust that all have had a great day and kept warm.  Have a great Sunday too.  Till then, keep safe, take care and enjoy yourselves.  But most importantly take moment to stop and admire and take in the world around you, cause it is awesome really!

Kia Kaha.
