The good ....... and the humiliating



This is sooooo good! My first cup of coffee in five days! In the cutest Starbucks mug too (thanks Lindsay).
And I gave myself an adorable Aboriginal print manicure.
So Friday started off as such a good day. Nancy came and collected me and we went off to St Joe's. Treatment was great - they got me all lined up and sorted so quickly that I was out within 30 minutes - SCORE! (BTW if you are after a prayer request, that's it - that I would position myself and then my techs would get me lined up very quickly. That's what takes the longest time on the table)
After we got home, Nancy and I were having a lovely visit - and BAM. Things went downhill fast. Like a roller coaster fast.
whoever 'they' are, they have some 'splaining to do!
All of a sudden my energy left - in the middle of a conversation fast! So the afternoon was spent on the couch, sleeping as much as the nausea would allow.
So needless to say, Friday night I was not up to much partying!
This morning I thought that because I didn't have a treatment, I would have loads of energy to go shopping. You've guessed by now that I was dead wrong!
I'm having a bit of trouble getting into Piet's car - my hip really doesn't like to do anything really!
So I hobbled around Sports Authority with Will's arm to help me. More hobbling at Kohl's (netting me some cute new tops though!!) and we still had Target to hit up. 
Cue the humiliation....

I thought that it moved just as slowly as I was - but no, Will assured me  that it was actually going a 'bit faster'.  
So there you have it - after only a week of treatment I've turned into an old lady. Will's getting in some 'nanna' training - although he's already learnt to be sweet enough to assure me that "you're not old Mum, don't say that". Isn't he adorable? He's my favorite son!
Overall - today will go down as one of the suckiest in history. 

May you weekend be less sucky than mine!
Hugs
