Lost for words!

2010 and all that
Happy New Year! I’m not going to expound on the possibilities of things going really well in the next twelve months, I did that last year and boy did it go tit’s up, so to speak!
Hope you all had a lovely time over the holidays. Mine was relatively quiet though not so that I didn’t manage to over-indulge. There is no other time of year when it seems perfectly acceptable to have five ‘Quality Street’ for breakfast! I weighed myself recently and of course the dial went berserk, no surprises there. I’ve gained a stone. Obviously I’m not proud of my achievement but by the same token it hasn’t all been my fault. I did spend a lot of last year flat on my back feeling too tired to get any proper exercise. On a good note the excess flab will come in handy when I have a breast construction later in the year.
I’m off to a slow start creatively but hope it’ll pick up along with the weather, which is really not helping. I do apologise for having the slowest blog. I keep meaning to update it but you know how it is, I go to make a cup of coffee and the next minute a month has gone by!
Stay tuned….

Non Toxic!
Saturday 25 July 2009
Yawn!
I’ve been rather quite of late, no excuse except a general dis-interest in all things thanks to the effects of chemotherapy. I sleep a lot and dream things that if I could only remember them clearly enough would keep Doctor Who in storylines forever. It’s the drugs I’m sure though I’ve always had weird dreams. Whenever people wish me well and hope my dreams come true, they are in fact encouraging me to walk naked through a room full of people into a post apocoliptic landscape that is both Yorkshire and Moscow where the sky rains pepsi and I am desparately trying to type a page of numbers before my bus arrives. The bus is a plane, is a bird, is an elevator hanging by a thread overlooking downtown Manhatten and I am trapped with Michael Stipe and a bag of jellyfish! Discuss!
So anyway I’ve been doing very little except reading and lying down. My Mother and sister are big fans of the crime fiction genre, the more gory and descriptive the better. They send me their offcasts and I devour them in a day or two which might also explain my current demeanour. I should perhaps be reading something light and fluffy with a rainbow at the end.
How different we look without hair? I’m not completely bald, still enough fuzz on there to make me human Velcro with everything from loose threads to pollen finding me rather attractive. Folks who choose to have their heads shaved to this degree must be slightly masochistic because it prickles when you put your head on a pillow and it’s amazing how cold your head feels without a blanket of hair. On a good note, haven’t had to shave my legs in weeks!

The story so far...

You wanna piece of me?!
This has been a hell of a week. You often wonder how you will react if it ever happened to you, if you are the one in seven? Well, I found out the hard way and it's completely surreal. Last month I found a lump and four days from now I lose my right breast and then later my hair. Breast cancer, just like my sister Maddy. So far the hardest bit has been telling people. Just putting it out there where it makes everyone feel scared and uncomfortable. Still, now you know it means I can get on with things.
