So I'm just going to keep this one brief as well, to be honest haven't really done very much over the last two weeks hence why I haven't updated this much. Thursday... nothing, couple of films, but at least on the Friday the PS4 arrived and as soon as I had it set up downstairs was told to turn it off, so it will be kept up in my room, just need to get a converter to link it up to the projector, but one of my monitors is HDMI so I'm using that for it at the moment so far. Saturday and Sunday were basically watching football, playing the PS4 and watching TV.
Monday came along though and tonight it is the work Christmas dinner/party so after a relaxing day went to that in Lavery's, was great to see everyone from work again and some that no longer work there which is a pity, but as the prizes were being handed out (none I was expecting as I haven't been there for six months) up came "Employee of the year" and well.. I won it! so got up and got my certificate and a champagne party popper, which didn't work and also a gift from everyone for being unwell, wasn't expecting very much but when I opened it was a very, very, very generous gift voucher for Amazon, I was well chuffed with it and well got quite drunk to celebrate.
Tuesday I deserved to feel so much worse than I was, but you win some... but it was a waste of a day and lay around watching TV and films most of it and that evening got the invite to the beta testing of Hearthstone, better than having to wait till the release date.
Pretty much the rest of the week was just spent killing time watching TV computer films etc until Friday night when I had a Christmas party to go to at Cat's flat, was a good night and was nice meeting a load of people I hadn't met before, was fun. Until the next morning again when the hangover kicks in, but to be fair it wasn't that bad and was worth it once again, just one more drinking night until The Christmas Festiviteves, can't wait. So the next thing to be done was on Monday to go to the last quiz of the year, in which we came second in and won a goody bag full of Jaeger things and a selection box and because we are regulars they gave us a tube of milky bar buttons. There was a good crowd at it.
But basically the last month has been atrociously quiet and done very little apart from going out drinking from time to time, haven't been going out for my walks or been doing very much of any interest at all. This has had a bit of an effect on my sleeping and I can't get to sleep at and night and find it impossible to get up in the mornings as well. Haven't been getting any aches and pains but my cough has been coming back too, my parents are blaming it on the smoking, which I'm sure isn't helping but it wouldn't explain the runny nose from time to time, I think this has been working on me for a couple weeks and the draft in my room is making things much worse, like this morning I woke up and my neck was spasming and it felt really cold. It's mostly caused by the wind as on cold days, but not windy there is no draft.
Also today I've been really tired and head was sore, but seems to have settled now. Hope everything clears up by Friday so that I can get my final chemo and then find out what is going to happen after with the ITP. It will be an interesting couple of months ahead. But there are a few things to look forward to and one I thought I would never think and that is getting back to work again and getting a bit of normality and routine back into my life again.
I should maybe get out a while tomorrow and get some "exercise" and "fresh air" or just get up off my lazy ass. But hopefully the chemo will have worn off by Saturday and I can get out for a walk then and each day after as well.
I will probably not be doing the blog until after Christmas so have a Happy Christmas in advance and enjoy.
