Who me ?

Rats. My husband caught a cold and he tried SO hard to stay away - sleeping on the sofa, isolating himself and his germs - but I got it. It's now moved into a sort of bronchial cough so my onc says go to the GP and make sure it's not bacterial yet.

I'm making my h go too, he has "man flu" of course so it may be ok but he had pleurisy once so his chest is inclined to be a bit weak. Better to be safe - and he didn't have a flu shot this year, I TOLD him it would be a mistake.

Apart from that still feeling ok, although constipation is this cycle's feature !! Have to hit some Senna tonight I think, can't be much room left !

Hope you journeys are all progressing - one step at a time girls, we'll get to the finish line in the end. Wouldn't it be good if there was a magic way to meet everyone you've "met" on this site ? I feel I have so many new friends.

much love and keep on keeping on

Rats - headache today. Not too bad though, just sleeping it off. But I feel SOO weary, maybe have  to watch how much work I can actually do. When I'm feeling good I just go in as normal - hmmmm, perhaps that's what has caused this headache.

Or else it's just I'm at the 10 day low point and things will be good from now ! Let'sgo with that.

I have discovered that I just LOVE tinned spaghetti ! There are so many things that I normally love that just don't taste right and I don't want them - but a little tin of spaghetti and a piece of hot toast just fits the bill perfectly.  It's prob not particularly nutritious but I don't care about that. I'm trying to eat veg and fruit to keep my tummy working, and struggling to keep a good amount of fluid going down - just don't want that either. Although last night I started a can of lemonade and that was quite nice, it's even nice today a  bit flat. Gradullay I'll find the things I can actually enjoy the taste of - I just wish it was cappuccino !!!!! Still can't enjoy my coffee :( 

On a really up note - I have had NO HEADACHES this cycle, it's amazingly awesome !!!!  The preventer my doc found is working a treat I am so thrilled. Going to be taking that for the rest of mylife - no more migraines, yayy !!!!!!

Keep on keeping on girls

Thanks for that - I told the hairdresser that I needed to look fabulous for the first time at work with my new do. And she came up trumps.

Body can't do much more than that at the moment. Anyway , take care a and keep us posted. Love Julie xx

My husband has promised to take another one in daylight - with a smile ! I always manage to look grim in pics :P  That was taken after work the first time I wore it.

I know what you mean about the "tight" feeling. I can only do it for about 3 hrs. Rest of the time my lovely hats are just comfy and fine. My friend who promised to make me some stylish ones is still procrastinating !! But hopefully I will have a good range soon.

I have one lovelysoft woollen one I prefer at home, so cosy. Actually looks a bit like a tea cosy but I don't care!!!

I amlucky in that I can go towork or not as I choose - it's casual - and I quite enjoy it, makes the time pass. Been feeling very tired after this second cycle, sleeping heaps, so I spose that's good.

Take special care of yourself.

Hi Keitha

The wig looks great  but there is one thing missing - your beautiful smile! Maybe you need to post a fresh pic  ;-)  It looks great. I wear "Coco" only when i really need to and have limited it to a couple of hours at most just to start with as I find it a little tight on my head - its probably not as tight as I imagine but I still have bristles on the back of my neck that tend to prickle when I turn my head around. I do feel self concious, too but all my friends tell me they would never have known if I hadnt told them. They are used to me changing my hair colour and style on a regular basis.

I found a cute little soft wool beanie at the clinic the other day. They are made and donated by a group called "Grannies in stitches". I found one in my favourite colours and that is my preference most of the time. I call that one "fluffy". When I am at home I go "au naturale" - its much warmer here than you're end of Australia  :-)   Good on you for still making it to work - you are inspirational! I cant even contemplate the idea of dealing with all this and going to work just yet.... Well done!
