FRIENDS, FAMILY, FRIENDS= ENERGY

2014.04.10

Awoke this morning a little sore and achy but otherwise feeling good. My morning chat with Nikki is always a great way to start the day. Peter thinks the pinging on my phone is annoying. (So is having CANCER.)



It is my middle son's birthday today and we celebrated him in the morning. He was happy. I took all my pills and the kids got ready for school. Peter dropped them off at the station and school.

My phone pings at 7:48 and it's Mia wondering if I am awake. YEP, have been since 5:30 a.m. She calls and we have an excellent chat as she is walking through Humlegården on her way to work. Awesome! ENERGY.

My plan for today was to just lay in bed and do nothing. Then I checked FB and Charlotte suggested a coffee. I can't say no to that. It was time to get dressed and lightly clean the house with Peter's help before she came over. It was great to see her and her infant daughter. Looking forward to the next visit and shot of energy. ENERGY.

They headed home and a light lunch was in order. Then I watched some British and then American TV for a bit until my sister called and Facetimed with me. We laughed quite a bit. ENERGY.

Peter got back from his meeting and I was in the middle of choosing which furniture is going to London and which is getting sold. I am of course making a list and checking it twice. I have now figured out the furniture that will go in three of the six rooms in the new house. Small houses and rooms  will mean some creative planning to make things fit. I have embraced the thought of living with less. It will be so much easier to clean if we only take what we need and use.

Going to do this under our stairs. AWESOME.

The kids came home from school and had some snacks and then we ate my son's favorite dinner for his birthday.  FAMILY.

After dinner it was time for a walk with Annica. We walked at a slower pace today but we walked for an hour. Then we had time for some tea and chocolate chip cookies. ENERGY.

So, not much rest today but an increase in the positive energy intake. I think I will sleep well tonight.

FRIENDS. ENERGY. FAMILY. ENERGY. KICKING THE HECK OUT OF CANCER.

    1. I find the quotes based on how I am feeling and they almost find me actually.
