I feel like I should rename this 'Me on every other Monday' as it certainly hasn't been a weekly theme recently!
This Monday finds me feeling much less stressed and more happy than the last ones have - all due to a telephone call I received on Friday from the consultant gastroenterologist to say that my CT scan was clear and I don't need to have follow up tests. Oh the relief. As I finished the call I was in tears of joy and quite literally felt as if a weight had been lifted. I do hope that all the other patients on the appointment list were as fortunate as I was because I know that things could have been very different and my heart goes out to those who find themselves on a different journey.
We had a family packed weekend which was just what I needed after such an anxious time. The weather has been absolutely glorious and we’ve made the most of it because it’s early days to assume the run of good weather will last. We watched Leo play football on Saturday morning and that had the added bonus of his team winning the match.
We try and get the family together for lunch on the Sunday between our son’s birthday and mine and this Sunday was the day. We had a lovely time and the children all enjoyed playing together in the garden. Naturally there was cake, even though my birthday isn’t officially here until Friday
So today will be starting with a pilates class (yes I signed up for another block of lessons!) and then I do need to catch up on the dreaded pile of ironing which seems to have built up while I wasn't looking. Hopefully I can find something on the tv to watch while doing my least favourite chore.
