Where have they gone?

Today I started to feel not like myself. I'm not sad and feel fine but my face is expanding with the steroids and my hair is still falling out (not the steroids). All I'm doing is thinking of food and trying not to eat so much of it, that my trousers need to expand too! LOL

Started the day in desperation trying to track down Little N's missing trainers and high jump spikes. They were left at the Kingston track on Saturday. Sadly I have crossed t's and dotted i's, and I think we're going to have to see if our insurance will cover them. It's actually not the shoes I'm so worried about but the expensive orthotics that were in the trainers and that would be just simply tossed away by the thief. Having had her phone stolen at school last week, this week looks expensive!

Walked Mad Dog up in Redhill Heath then took her to one of her favourite shops "Pets At Home" (funny, that!!) where she likes to chase anyone wearing a green sweatshirt (staff uniform) cos they generally have access to dog biscuits.. I've been taking her there since she was a wee puppy, and wee she has done many times in the store (I always own up). But now she is a "big" girl, she has developed a rather high pitched bark when she sees something she would like to eat - and today as we waited to pay for our dog food and bits, she placed her fluffy paws on the counter (it's quite low) and used this "special" noise to get what she wanted... Embarrasing mutt!!

I got to catch up on some "pay to do" work, but I'm still playing a little catch up. It feels good to be productive!

LISTEN SUMMER BALL poster has been designed and looks super. I needed to sign it off but had to laugh that the band "One Foot in the Groove" had become "One Foot in the Grave"!! That's what I think everytime I look at the name, but it was funny to see it in writing.

For the Ball which takes place on Saturday 26th June 2010 from 7pm (tickets a mere £60 pp) we are raising funds to provide equipment for the Liver Unit including dvd players, lap tops and other items that may be needed by patients who often have a long stay on the wards. The liver unit isn't just used by patients being transplanted but also those (like me) who have little "issues" along the way. In January I spent 3 weeks on Todd Ward, then in March four days on Dawson Ward followed by four days in April back on Todd. I know that four more days are waiting for me in July as I'll need the stent taken out of my bile duct.

Tomorrow was going to be spent working on web stuff for LISTEN but that has been postponed so I will be taking Mad Dog training (more chasing me and not staying!!) and trying to find some high jump spikes... Joy!
