That was naughty
This week marked twelve months since I finished chemo. I'm still feeling like shit a great deal of the time but, hey, any day above ground...
I was lying in bed yesterday morning moaning about my aches and pains while my partner moaned about theirs, a truly joyous chorus. We've been talking about going away for a holiday but funds are tight and it all seems to be too bloody hard...finding the money, putting the hound into the kennels or organising a dog sitter blah blah blah. And, with two houses in a constant state of renovation, there always seems to be so much else to do.
Anyway it occurred to me we are a long time dead and I should probably stop practicing for said event and do some things that I enjoy. I love fishing and camping but I'm too creaky to sleep in a swag now, besides, everything bites me and setting up tents gives me the shits.
So, I heaved myself out of bed, got onto Gumtree and went and bought myself an off road camper trailer. Just. Like. That.
I emptied my wallet and left an assortment of change as a deposit and I'm going into the bank to draw money out of my mortgage tomorrow to pay for it. Then I'm going to leave it hitched to the Princess ute who only gets a run every once in a while and I'm going to head up the bush in style. With the hound. So there.
My partner was horrified about me blowing a hole in my finances on a whim, but I don't care.
