today is a bit of house work n finished a drawing. I need
            to  get  back  to  full  productivity  a.s.a.p.  but  in  the
            meantime  I  need  to  find  a  way  to  accept  it  when  I’m
            not.........and  that’s  something  I’ve  never  managed  in  40
            years...keep trying......

           Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!  It’s  soooo  frustrating  being  too
            weak  to  go  out.  I  feel  like  a  prisoner  in  my  own  body
            sometimes. I miss all my mates in the pub! I will gradually
            build my strength back up.......

           Anxiety!  General  feeling  of  impending  doom  and  that
            vague  sense  of  having  forgotten  something  important!
            God get a grip Ona!

           My  Mom,  in  her  infinite  wisdom  decided  to  give  me  a
            wind up egg timer (having heard about me cremating last
            night’s  jacket  potatoes  into  sort  of  black  cannon  balls)
            but for some unknown reason she decided to wind it up
            (?!)  before  I  walked  home  with  it  ticking  audibly  from
            inside the only bag I had available to me - a bright yellow
            medication bag marked HAZARD! Not only did it look
            and sound like I was carrying a bomb down the street but
            I also alerted all my neighbours when the sodding alarm
            went off just as I got to my front door.

           As if I don’t feel hideously unattractive enough being bald,
            over weight and constantly running eyes n nose from the
            chemo  they’ve  now  told  me  I’ll  have  a  drainage  tube
