Tuesday and I wake up to a busy day so I take my vitals and get myself up. I make breakfast and take my meds and then start to prepare to go to the hospital to pick up my next chemotherapy cycle. I need to know when Tesco are going to deliver so I have to hang fire until Tesco tell me when they are going to deliver. A get a paper from the post office and spend some time doing the days crosswords. At last I get the delivery time through and it is suitably distant for me to get in to town to collect my drugs.

I drive into town and park up in a central car park and then walk down to the hospital pharmacy. I was expecting a long wait but to my surprise they found my prescription quickly and dispensed it to me almost straight away. I made my way back to the car but was sweating profusely by the time I arrived. I get my car park ticket authorised and get to the car where I can shed my fleece and drink the Red Bull I had stashed in the glove compartment.

I drive home and put my washing in and then do some holiday and car valeting research while I wait for the Americans to ring me in order to publish my new collection. I change into my training gear in anticipation of a later training session and put the bins out. Five o’clock comes around and sure enough the Americans ring on time and I supply them with the number they need to publish on my platform. With the publishing process under way I go to the garage and set myself up to do a half hour rowing session. I strap in and get myself under way determined to do better than I did yesterday. It goes well and I find myself in a faster rhythm and so I push on to the end as hard as I dare push it. It goes well and I end up doing what I used to do as my expected normal distance and I also managed to get to a thousand strokes in the time.

The figures suggests that I am getting fitter and that I can press on doing more things. I record the session and then change out of my training gear and wait for the Tesco delivery. It duly arrives and the family unpack it and squirrel it a way before eating tea. For me there is a football match to watch which means I can use half time to unload the tumble dryer and fold the load up. The second half rolls through and at the end of the match I draft the blog adn check to see if the new book is being processed on the publishing platform. I am pleased to se it is there so in a couple of days it will be available on Amazon.

Its been a busy and productive day at the end of which I take my meds and take myself to bed. Tomorrow I have committed myself to going to my partners mothers in order to clear her patio of moss, so another busy day, it feels right to be getting back into some sort of normality, and the next steps are to get back to seeing people regularly again.
