What a beautiful end to the week

What a beautiful sunny weekend to end an okay week! I have been feeling increasingly better this week - my side effects have been reducing as the week has gone on.  I am beginning to work out my good and bad days; this second week is when I start to feel better and the third week is when I feel quite good! Although I am acutely aware of the fact that my immune system is really low, so whilst I am able to do a few more things this week, I am still nervous about going anywhere where there is a lot of people who would be close to me.

This weekend has been lovely! On Saturday I went to feed the ducks and play in the park with Alexa and my parents.  She loved looking at all the ducks; shouting at the swan and trying to catch the flying seagulls.  Then we went to the park; she absolutely loved it!  Especially the swings - so much so that she pulled a bit of a tantrum when it was time to leave!  Seeing as she turned one in January, I thought that I had some grace before the tantrums started!  Then on the Sunday it was Alexa's swimming lesson; I have been struggling with the fact that I can only be a spectator, so this week I have working on seeing the positives.  I don't have to get my hair wet and I can take lots of lovely pictures; so I did feel a lot happier about watching this time.  She then spent the afternoon with her Daddy and I went shopping with Mum and Dad; although I didn't buy anything it was lovely to be out and get some fresh air

All of this made me feel quite 'normal' this weekend.  So much so that I don't think I though about cancer and chemo very much!  My make-up purchases from last weekend made me feel like I didn't look like a cancer patient and I had my lovely Zara tees to wear.  The only constant reminder was my PICC line making an appearance whenever I took my jacket off; but as my Mum reminded me, I should be proud of it as it's helping to give me a fighting chance of living a long and healthy life.

I hope you all have a lovely week and that this sunshine becomes a bit more of a permanent fixture.
