Perspective on things.

We've been away for a few days visiting the mother-in-law in Montrose. That's where the above photo was taken and I love it. It totally puts things into perspective for me. How small and insignificant I actually am and how beautiful this world actually is. I've had a pretty ropey day for me... one of my black ones stuck in unknown limbo... but the above photo just gees me up and makes me more determined to live. I believe the evil little fecker is no longer inside me and will not be coming back.

The girls had a great time at their Nanny's. They love the beach and Montrose has some gorgeous sandy beaches. Possibly one of Scotlands best kept secrets. Unfortunately it was a tad on the chilly side (note Erin's attire in the photo) and Montrose is, what can only be politely termed, "a dump". Nothing else going for it except the beaches.

Nothing else to report. Bit tired but doing fine. In hospital tomorrow for bloodwork. It strikes me as weird that I'm told to avoid certain things and places yet the Oncs are more than happy for me to go into possibly the worst place for infections in order to get blood taken. MRSA anyone? Some things are just incomprehensible.

Oh, and it's Day +35 today. 65 days till the magic number. Over a third of the way there.

Oh and I meant to check in and see if you've gotten your package yet??? I'm hoping it arrives tomorrow, or at the very latest by the end of the week. You guys will be so excited. Oh and I would just like to let you know that your Scotland bag (minus the Scotch!) came with me to my second post chemo attempt at the gym tonight! It was like you were motivating me to keep going!! :)
