A month without a blog!!!

Well almost, what is going on with the world, call myself a blogger! I guess my excuse is that I have been mega busy and I guess although now I reflect I actually have done a lot it didnt feel like it until now.

So what has been going on then since my bootcamp. Well i'm a bit quicker since I did that first run around Virginia Water, 8 minutes quicker to be precise but I must say I haven't done as much running as I promised myself. Quite a bit of walking and other exercise though so all is not lost, well not yet anyway. We've just come back from a week in Cornwall (cant believe it finally came, I remember so vividly planning it months ago and writing about it in my blog), we took the uber cool camper van and went and stayed at a great place (Retallack Resort), definitely recommend it, the flow rider is great fun. My partner in crime from the bootcamp (Michelle) was with me for the weekend plus Annabelle and Nick and all the kids of course. Such fun, didnt do a lot apart from drinking to be honest but never mind, and I didnt do much exercise during the week either, well three exercise classes (in the smallest sweatiest studio you've ever seen with mental marie getting us all banging into each other, oh yes that was just me and betty) and some walking, i thought we would be walking for miles but we really didnt have the time with the whole flowrider thing ;-) I didnt do it, what with the infections,back and all but I would have loved to, made me feel old and boring and untrendy mum but it was lovely watching the smile on connors face.

The weekend before I was so impressed with him, we walked around 12 miles from Sandbanks to Swanage along the cliff path, over beaches etc (even a nudist beach, now that was interesting, men running in the nude, we all flinched at that). So you see bloggers I am starting to do what I promised and showing connor the UK, trouble is its so blooming expensive I might have to give it a break for a month or so, I know i know i could go camping or something and do it on the cheap but if you had seen the weather last monday in cornwall you wouldnt think it was such a good idea trust me!

So health wise bloggers you may wonder what is going on, given i've decided to write another blog it normally means something is going on right. Well yes, I cant seem to get rid of dreaded infections, nothing really bad, just a kind of lingering itchy, yucky feeling, I've had horrid antibiotics that meant I couldnt drink for a week and creams and potions but its still there. I do have my biopsy finally this week though which is a good thing. Tiredness, overwhelming tiredness at the moment, I think maybe the whole treatment thing finally caught up with me. Oh and one last thing, you cant help it, you and those around you get really paranoid whenever you have any little thing, things you would definitely have ignored before but now of course its all potentially cancer. Scary really but i've had this thing going on in my head for the last week or so, like when you turn it too quickly and it jars but even when i havent done it if that makes sense, and the last two days, like mega headache time, yesterday I couldnt do anything and today it kind of went a little bit but has come back with avengence in the last hour or so. I thought it was because I havent been drinking enough water but drunk gallons of the stuff today. So I guess here I am stuck with being a hypochondriac, phil has made me promise to go to the doctors which I cant really not do but I feel stupid I'm sure its nothing, (well 90% of me is), maybe I'll just contact my oncologist and see what she thinks.....

And now on to the good things in life (well apart from my family of course ;-) along with some other lovely ladies from work (and a couple of hairy blokes) we've finalised a trip to go help an orphanage in Kenya at the end of November, something I've wanted to do for such a long time. I've also contacted Macmillan, I said if I could help anyone I would so what better way to do it than through them. No idea what I'm going to do exactly but they are coming to see me at the end of September to hear about my story. ;-) So maybe some more stuff to blog about after all. Sorry it wasnt a funny one today but the head just didnt allow.

Night all.
