even if I get just one thing done a day it will be better than nothing.
We will be okay!
We will get through it one treatment at a time!
And when we are finished this shitty treatment we can have a jolly great clean out and get everything back into order, and even toss out lots of stuff.
It will be very therapeutic.
Best of luck on Thursday, Jennie
