Rotation over for 3 days

I have finished my 3 days at work and have 3 days off which I am sure will be busy with catching up on all that needs doing. My cat is still unwell and I have decided to take her to the vets next week. She is eating and seems quite relaxed in herself. She will be 17 this year so has had a real good life. I would love her to carry on but it would be unfair to let her do so if she was uncomfortable. This is so difficult as my situation makes me see things differently. I would not like anyone making choices like that for me.

I will get the CT scan results on Friday and am hoping so much that it is good ( you listening Theo?)
. I have my son’s meeting tomorrow and will hopefully remeber this one.

Missed the review!

I was supposed to go to my son’s review today and it completely went out of my mind. What with the ex moving out and sorting the house out to sell plus the results of the CT scan looming, I forgot.
I felt so bad for my son who took it very well. As he is autistic, everything has to be routine. He did very well today as he tried school meams for the first time. He said he enjoyed it and will be having it again on Monday. I was impressed as he isn’t one for trying new things but after trying popcorn for the first time last week, he decided to try school meals. The menu looks lovely and would be great if we had the same thing in our works canteen as the meals in there are not that good.
I have re-arranged Kieran’s appointment and will remember this time : )

Christmas packed away

I have packed away the last remnants of 2007 and am the shiny new 2008 is slowly being revealed. I spent a lovely morning with my older children. I took them to the garden centre that I visiyed last year to get my Christmas tree and picked up 2 sets of icycle lights that have become the new challenge.
I want to see them up on my new house this Christmas.
I am also busy with house hunting and doing up my house to sell it.
I have some very good friends who have said they will help me.
I am going to chill out tomorrow morning and watch “blithe spirit”, one of my favourite classic films. (will it happen?)
All is quiet at the moment with Meso issues. I am waiting to hear about alimta and what will happen with the appeal.

A quick note, Chris Knighton of the Mick Knighton fund has changed email address. It is now : cknighton-mkmrf@btconnect.com

Scan and school

I had the CT scan this morning and hope when I get the results that I find out Theo has been good to me again.
Later this afternoon I took my son to see his new school. He will be starting in September and a lot of the children there knew him and were happy to see him. He loved it and said he was looking forward to starting.
Back to work tomorrow for 2 days and off for 3, can’t be bad : )
My cat is still not well. Se doesn’t seem to be eating much and is very tired. Considering her age (17yrs) it has to be expected although I do think she is missing our other cat that we lost in September.
Next appointment is the 18th Jan when I get the results of the scan.

CT scan

I have got my CT scan tomorrow. I will be going with my daughter and will get the results on 18th Jan. I am going to visit my sons school tomorrow afternoon which he is very excited about.

All back to normal

Everything has returned to normal here. The decs will be down the weekend and I will be on the road to Christmas 2008 and challenging whatever steps in my path.
I went to look at a house this morning and it was perfect, apart from the steps leading up to the property. I am thinking of the future and the steps may become a problem. It is so lovely though.
I now have to sort my house out and get it on the market. The ex will be moving out soon and I have some good friends who will help me get the house into a presentable state for selling.

I am going to have lunch with my daughter and afterwards, attend my little son’s school as he has a good work assembly each week.
My cat, Patch isn’t very well, she is 17 this year and I think she is failing. She has an overactive thyroid and may have a kidney disorder.
I have promised my little son, Kieran that when we move house we will get a kitten for him.
It will be a shame if our cat doesn’t come with us as she has been with the family for a long time. She isn’t a cuddle cat, not like Tigereye who I lost in September. She is a real misery but she has been a very loyal companian. I hope we do take her with us and start our future with her too.
I have had a busy afternoon, had lunch with my daughter and did a little shopping, watched my son’s assembly, got my cats tablets and visited a friend for a bit, took my son to see “bee movie” and met my other 2 children and my daughters boyfriend for something to eat.
It has been really busy and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Tomorrow I am going to relax a bit and get prepared for Monday, the CT scan.

Back to work

I have returned to work after the Christmas break. It has been very busy and I am so glad that I have 2 out of the 3 days to work.
I am thinking constantly about the CT scan on Monday. This will be the fifth one, I think, since October 2006 and so far Theo has not grown. Kieran goes back to school on the 3rd January and I am looking around at houses up for sale as we need a bigger house. Once all the debts are out of the way, the children and I can move on and begin our clean slate.
I have been asked many times what I had for Christmas, I had 2 drago fly necklaces and a dragon fly brooch and they are stunning. Thankyou to the friends who gave me them. I had a foot bath which will come in very handy but most of all, I had Christmas 2007 with my children and friends, that has been the greatest gift and it has been wonderful, thank you Theo.
What more could I ask for apart from the obvious but I don’t think Theo is going anywhere in the near future.
I want to keep him happy and give myself a lot more time with my family. New targets and a new home are on the cards this year.
