Half Life – 56 – winter is coming November 26th, 2021 It would be easy to allow gradual isolation to creep in, as the cold weather establishes itself and being wrapped up and snug indoors gains extra appeal. Worries about Covid, as well as flu and colds, adds to the reasoning that venturing outside is risky. Put chemo on top and it can start to be seen as a sensible decision. Afterall, hibernation is a well-established tradition in the animal world and joining the bears and hedgehogs in their long sleep has a serious attraction. I liked the idea when I was well and working for a living, in particular standing at a station at six in the morning as the icy wind blew up my too thin overcoat, freezing delicate body parts.
I always tell my yogis at this time of year to 'enjoy rest'. It is not a good time to make plans but to just enjoy relaxing and connecting with those you love and love you. Gosh that sounds like a self help book - anyway throw that list away!!! No lists in this house as my 10 year old is doing her 11 plus - she is pretty much going through the same process as my 21 year old is on her graduate training job search; NVR, VR, maths, english, another test if done ok in those, interview! It is truly bonkers.
Love not lists!!! Gigantic massive hugs as always. Clare xx PS could you just give advance warning when you and Martin are on your scooters!!!!! xxxxx
I hope this Nu? mutation of Covid does not throw a spanner in the works of the country opening up again. I have bought a second hand mobility scooter, to add to my increasing stable of electric freedom machines.
It is capable of extended range and greater terrain handling to the extent that, unaided and wrapped in layers of thermals, I have been round the Castle grounds and Deadings wood. As you say a level of freedom is important.
Hoping the Chemo is doing its job and you are bearing the consequences.
Hoping you finish your list, find the front door and get to enjoy the great outdoors!
