    This Fortnight I…

    Hi! Sorry. I was asleep last week again! Fatigue has been one of my biggest struggles with my recovery and treatment so far, I keep waiting for it to pass after the transplant, but so far it hasn’t. It seems fatigue can also be a side effect of my maintenance treatment. So it might be…

    For the 2 or 3 of you that thought “hmmm, I wonder what Gems been up to this week?” I’m very sorry I missed last week. Fact is I had an exciting and busy week, which then left me so tired I couldn’t keep my eyes open, and couldn’t bring myself to raise my hand…

    Hi! We made it to Sunday, so I hope you’re doing something nice to reward yourself. Personally I am now on Sunday afternoon sofa time with the Pugs and planning to move as little as possible till tomorrow.

    Well, hey! How’s things? I hope you’re managing to stay cool? I am living in the bedroom, aka “the icebox” where the air con lives, and I’m not leaving. It’s too hot. Currently I’m watching Buffy on my laptop and shopping for things for my next “distract Gemma from her results” decorating project.  But before…

    Well, it was a bit of a week if I’m honest. This whole cancer thing is a learning process, and I’m figuring out how to manage it. But I’ll get there in the end! Right now I’m slumped on the sofa with the Pugs watching Paper Girls. But first, this week I…… Missed my Skates…

    Hello! Happy Sunday chickadees! So far I’ve haf pancakes for breakfast, done some nice gentle yoga, and now I am awaiting ice cream to arrive at the tent. I’m at ”Cancer Camp” organised by Shine Cancer Support which is a great young adult cancer charity who’ve been a great support. Soon we need to pack…

    Hi! Happy disgustingly hot Sunday! I saw an insta post the other day that suggested the reason I might hate summer is because of body image issues, but I can confirm it’s definitely because it’s hot and full of bugs. So this week was supposed to be eventful, but then all my events were cancelled.…

    A Photo An Hour – 23rd June 2022

    Wow, last year it took me a month to get this post up, this year it’s only 3 weeks, so evidently I’m improving and getting back to my old efficient self. Once again, I can’t promise thrills, spills and excitement, but I can promise an insight into how I spend a very boring and average…
