I hope you and he both get your bonus. Tha's a nice story, syc.

Very cool.

I did 30 pushups today during my training session.

THIRTY! PUSHUPS!!!

I haven't done a pushup since my surgery in 2012. Too injured, too fatigued, and most of all, too afraid of bringing on lymphedema in my right arm.

I owe it to my awesome trainer here in smallville, who trained me for my cowgirl ride in 2012 right before my diagnosis, and who is bringing me back to fitness now.

The heroes in this world don't necessarily make the news, but they should.

Shoutout and kudos and all hail to JOHN SUTTON SR, who has not only had my back through my illness and gotten me back on the road to fitness and health post-chemo, but who has done it all gratis.

Now I get to pay it forward.

You're absolutely right but there's too many of them. They're out there heroing every day, often with little recognition, no less thanks.

30 pushups is something. Seriously. That's no small feat. I bet over 95% of the US population can't do 30 pushups.

It's raining. As much as it's been nice lolling about in the pool (it's been hot and humid for really the first time this summer) I have been missing my rainy days. Please please please keep raining. Throw in some thunder and lightning if you can swing it. kthxbai

I cant even do one. Haha

Ah-ah-aahh...you're confusing 'up' with 'in'.

I got almost 11 hours of sleep last night. Only woke up once in the middle, and fell right back to sleep.

And then this morning, I took my car with its new engine mount and bolt to the inspector, and got the satisfaction of telling him, after he asked, that I changed the mount myself for 20 bucks. (Didn't tell him about the broken bolt.) He said I saved $150 by doing it myself, and I paid him a buck for the re-inspection. He went on to brag about how most inspectors miss those cracks in the rubber bushing of the engine mount, and I made silent note of that. We'll never go back to him.

Had a nice chat with Sundae on the phone just now. She's a wee cracker, so she is!

I made a mini croquembuche today, to practice for the big one in a couple of weeks. It turned out well and tasted so good i have made myself feel ill from eating it. Haha. I guess thats ok.

. Feeling much less stressed about it all now.

Sundae · 09-05-2014, 06:34 AM

I got my admission date.
Report for detox 09.00-09.30 Tuesday 16 September.
Rehab/ inpatient stay starts 22 Sept, seamlessly, same location.
Expected date of release 19 December.

That light at the end of the tunnel?
It really was a ventilation shaft and not an oncoming train.

OMG so much to try to sort out between now and then. But feeling so much stronger.
I even managed to go and ask for a diagnosis on my poor broken laptop, something I have felt incapable of previously.

I was hoping to emotionally blackmail Dana into helping me to the unit, but the early start genuinely precludes this. I'll have to leave before 08.00 even from Otley, let alone asking someone else to travel.

Good things - lists to make, packing to organise, brain and stomach and heart can stop acting like clenched fists.
Bad things - well, most of the paperwork, bills, money can be sorted by the Unit. But I have to be 100% sure I clear the flat of perishables. That's no mean feet in the current chaos. And sort the boy out with a charity foster home. OMG,talking to strangers. Even in my current ebullient mood that's so hard.

Anyway, I will take my noise off to my little me, me, me thread.
Just wanted to share this HUGE news with you.
