Concentrated living
Another Sunday starting with cross country running in the morning and ending in a dinner out with family. The early afternoon was broken with a sleep to recharge the batteries.
Managed to train and then go for a long walk with Siena.
I am feeling pretty ordinary. I have still not shaken the heavy fatigue that sets in and nausea that seems to come and go at will.
I push on and smile and do as much as I can but it’s bloody hard. It is like concentrated living within a two week period every month, making up for the time lost after chemo. It feels though that it’s getting harder to do. It’s harder mentally to stay up and positive and be normal.
I will take it easier this week and hope to continue to improve.
My Unplanned Sabbatical 
For some reason life is full of hurdles, some not so difficult and some very, but with understanding, determination and most of all, belief in one’s own inner strength, we can manage to get over them.
Thinking of you xx
Hello Sophie
So good to hear from you. Thanks for your words of support. Are you still in Spain? I will catch with Eugene this week if all goes to plan.
Cheers
Hi Serge,
Yes still here; its tough here with the mediterranean blue skies, waters and the simple lifestyle. I started a new job as charter broker, but has now extended to include customer service and so far, its going well. Good old Spain is not doing too well so I was very lucky to be working again.
We never ended up catching up when I was there in December – time always seems to get away from me when I come home. It will just have to be next time.
I spoke with Eugene yesterday and he said he was coming to see you with Robbie. I think its so great that after so many years and although we have all taken different roads, when we manage to catch up, its like time has not gone by.
I know you are having a hard time, but you hang in there kiddo and keep in touch.
Big hugs,
Sophie xx
