Not sure about weekly; that summary might have to be more often..
Haggis, I love the sound of your party. I'm planning one for after chemo too, though mine's far less tastefully titled. Not sure if I've the energy, but seems important to mark somehow.
Cupcaked, am liking the running plans, though sounds like the wise women have spoken, so maybe you'll have to wait a while if you're to preserve your skin. I've determined to try and cycle a bit more - is that an option for you instead of running; far less bouncy!
Kurri, big grr for you re: car. Hope it's fixed soon. Cider sounds funny though, esp your DH squealing. Hope diet still holding, though isn't your thyroid still a factor??
MAS, you always intrigue me because you say you find things hard, but you face them in a way that I very much don't. Genuinely I find that so impressive. Your course sounds both sensible and good, and it must have been a relief to like the person you'll be working with. How's DS doing? Has he settled into term again yet.
SR, what is your DD's course then? I get the Sweden part, but what's she studying as a whole? I think I'm jealous, whatever it is. Great to hear your hotel was luxurious, though those steroids are annoying to interfere with sleep. Hope the last week of pills isn't too dire. Christmas sounds like a good time to aim for in terms of recovery. I'm thinking I might feel a bit more normal by then too. We'll have to virtually celebrate.
RWU, so v.sad about your friend. Not at all sure how you stay sane through it all, though good times with the children definitely sounds like the best route through. Must be hard some days to keep the energy going for them. You know if you did succumb to violence against neighbours, you could easily use the cancer card. I'm sure a Judge/ Jury would let you skip away.. [evil emoticon]
Cakes, hope the dusting worked. Sounds a bit hair shirtish for my liking. Surely a walk to a favourite cafe, with notebook and pen is a more tempting option?!
Here I'm still a bit chemo-fugged, but many thanks for all well wishes. DH back at work today, which means he's away for three day. I couldn't face my parents coming to 'help', so my and DS will stagger through. (They're lovely, but the inverted commas say it all, they really do.) Still, I gleefully strode to the school gates this morning wearing a new wooly hat. Am pretty sure I was the only one delighted Autumn's here. Have so had enough of the Lithuanian Peasant look though..
