Thursday and I slowly surface after going to bed at two o’clock in the morning when my partner returned from the hospital where her mother had been admitted over night. So I am tired to start the day and there is planning to do with my partner, so much depends on what is going on at the hospital. I get up and take my morning meds and then we decide to both go to our nails appointment after my partner is able talk to her mother on the phone. We arrive at the gym where our beautician is and I am able to get a giant cookie and Lucozade for breakfast before we go in to the nail bar.

It is a pleasure to be able to sit and be pampered. There is chat and catching up with what has happened to us all in the last month. I had decided to strip my nails of all lacquer and polish to give my nails a chance to breath and for me to oil them in an attempt to keep them from hardening and becoming disfigured due to he chemo. So my nails are stripped down and manicured and then oiled. My hands get massaged and feel much better for it. I miss my subtle sparkles or cats eyes but as an Easter treat I get an Easter bunny nail done.

I wait in the gym lounge for my partner as she takes longer than me. Eventually she emerges and we go home to eat. My partner goes with her brother to visit their mother in hospital and I settle down to do the days crosswords. With the puzzles done I read the meters and send off the readings noting that this months bill is going to be less than last months and in budget. As it is the 26th of March the channel that I get my sports coverage on, TNT, is changing its streaming partner to HBO max so I have to find a way of down loading the required App. I flounder around for quite a while avoiding having to pay again for a service that I buy from BT. Eventually I get it done and so I now have a new App on the TV that in theory will give me more sport and other entertainment. Having achieved my goal I settle down and check the Tesco order slot for Monday before starting to draft the blog. By now last nights late night is catching up with me, I shall be good for one football match tonight and then I am off to bed. Tomorrow I get to find out if my dentist can stick my fallen crown back in my mouth or if I am going to have to spend a fortune on more work. I suspect the later.
