Tuesday rolls around and I take a shower and get myself some breakfast along with my meds. Its a quiet morning until about lunchtime when the boiler service guy arrives. He is very quick and efficient and he is soon handing me the gas boiler certificate. He drives off and I then go to the chiropodist. Having parked up in the Co-op car park I walked over to the chiropodist, which knackers me. I have miscalculated how fatigued I am from the chemo and arrive out of breath and needing to rest for a bit before my feet can get started. Once under way I can enjoy the experience through to the final creaming of my feet. My feet feel great. I rebook, pay and then walk very slowly back to the car. I drive home and slump into a heap.
There is a football match to watch, Argentina scrape by Egypt and Switzerland beat Columbia on penalties. There is time for an episode of Shades of Blue. I unpack a big big birthday parcel from a friend ad take a photo of me with my presents. Such fun.
Eventually I go to bed having taken my night meds, set the dishwasher going and putting out the food recycle bin and waste bin.
Wednesday and I wake up in the spare room. I get given a hot water and then get up to move my car so that my partner can go to the gym. I make a substantial late breakfast and then go to the writing shed in the garden. I have placed my new friend (phenology head) and my moon picture in the writing space. I intend to spend some more time there writing more material.
I sped the afternoon lazing on the garden swing seat until the heat drives me indoors to the cool of the fan. I watch Author Fery win at Wimbledon and move on into the evening. There is no football so at last I get to watch Shades of Blue to its conclusion. Such an American redemption ending that somehow leaves the corrupt police team in tact and the heroes of the piece. Americans are so twisted in their moral dilemmas. Cleary bent cops with good intentions are better than straight police. My partner and I take a time out to water the garden. At the end of the night I take my meds, draft the blog and go to bed.
