sick day

Posted in welcome
Pip was feeling a bit under the weather this past weekend, so yesterday I taxied over to her place with a prepared lunch, including a roasted chicken, basmati rice pilau and an impromptu onion sauce. The idea was to keep up with our weekly “baby step” planning thing, and we did end up getting those steps sorted out for both of us. But we also ended up doing a bit of gardening and playing various games that only an almost-five-year-old can think up. As well as watching a bit of Spongebob …
Anyhow, it was a lovely afternoon and as I was cycling home afterwards I thought about how rich & happy my life is now because I know Pip. And also that little Kidlet. And all of you.

Banal, boring and waayyy too long …
As I have mentioned here on many occasions, there is only one cinema here in Sevilla that shows films in their original version (not dubbed into Spanish) so there is usually a very limited selection of English films. So imagine my surprise when I saw that there were four films in English showing this weekend that I’d heard good things about: Benjamin Button, Revolutionary Road, Frost/ Nixon and Doubt. And then early yesterday afternoon I got a message from Flor, inviting me out to a movie and asked me to choose between Benjamin Button and Frost/Nixon (she’d already seen the other two) … and, just like always happens with supermarket queues, I chose the wrong one!

Yay! My CT scan and blood test results came back normal!
So that means a happy thumbs-up “all clear” until next time (in 3 months).
It was such a relief when Ricardo called me late yesterday afternoon with the good news. And today he is going to set up an appointment with his oncologist friend Ana so that I don’t have to go back to those other oncs I’ve been seeing. I was a bit confused because I thought each oncology group was for a specific type of cancer, and I’ve seen all three oncs in my group. Well, it turns out that Ana is not only a specialist in breast and colon cancer, but she’s also the second in command of the whole department. And I’ve been told she’s a very no-nonsense kind of person, so I hope I feel more comfortable with her.
So … should I go get that mini ‘puter now?
