Wednesday and as my partner goes off to visit her mother I take my vitals and set about putting things in order as the expectation is that it will not belong before I get called to start my chemo rechallenge proper. So once I had done breakfast and dressed I was off down the chemist to collect my usual drugs and more paracetamol. With those tucked away I head for the village shop and get cash, a paper and something to nibble. Once home I work my way through the crosswords and then set about transferring all the music from an old i-pod (remember those?). It takes a while to work out the pathways required but eventually I download it all.

I refill the bird and squirrel feeders and then set about the main task of the day. I remove all the clothes in my wardrobe that I can not wear because I have bigger than I was. It all get packed into a large storage box and the spare space is filled with garments from another wardrobe. So all that hangs in my space now are clothes that I can actually wear. It has been a salutary experience. I get the storage box into the loft and get on with some other chores that are related to my partners coming birthday.

None of of my suits or any of my blazers have made it so perhaps I need to go shopping again and be realistic what I can wear. The evening comes around and all the Christmas cards are ready to be posted, so by tea time I am content that a lot of pre chemo rechallenge tasks have been done. There are still a lot of things to do. The aim is to get the decks cleared by Friday, my partners birthday, and then it is onwards to Christmas, and of course chemo. Its getting the mundane done that will make the future more manageable. Future me will be pleased that I am doing this.
