Me? - I Think Not

I was playing around on Photobucket the other night and discovered you can make an Avatar representing yourself.  So I thought I would have a go.  Well, they do not do "old" and they do not do "fat" which made it harder to make a cyber me - so I had to go with what they had.  I picked out a nice top, similar to ones that I wear and then discovered you had to pay for it.  So that was immediately discarded.  They do not do hair as short as I wear mine either or exactly the right colour.  I did manage to find a ginger cat that looked quite good until I added it.  Now it looks more like a stuffed hedgehog!  I really wish I did have a figure like this.  Anyway, this is the best I could come up with. So, me? I think not,  but a bit of fun to put on this journal.

 

Strange day today, started very hot and sunny and we were told it was going to be the hottest day this year so far but the blue sky has now gone and it is overcast although still on the warm side.

I feel drained today.  Had a double dose of radio yesterday afternoon at 2.45p.m. and another double dose at 9 a.m. this morning so well less than twenty four hours apart.  But the double shots are done with now, they were the only doubles I had to have.  I just carry on being zapped now on the actual site where the cancer was.  They tell you to get lots of rest and sleep if you can.  Sleep does not cure this sort of weariness but it does help somewhat.

The redness has now spread right up to my neck.  I queried it and was told it was quite natural and not to worry, no damage would occur to these parts of my body but that I am not allowed to get any sun on it for at least six months.  Going to be so difficult then going into the garden especially when I am planting up my tubs.  I am going to have to find a large sunshade.  Becky and Dean came across some great ones, perfect for me and at a reasonable price - until they checked the price of the bases needed to hold them.  Astronomical! But they will keep looking. 

Even after the six months, I can never venture into the sun again without wearing Factor 30 or above sunscreen on the parts that are red now.  Radiotherapy leaves your skin ultra-sensitive for the rest of your life.  Oh dear, no more bikini tops - yes I do wear bikini tops or rather I did.  Going to miss that.

We have one white Iris in our pond so Mike went and took a picture.  I love the colours in it and also like to see the drops of water on it.

Well, I do not have much else to write about.  Every day is the same at the moment.   Oh yes, Leo certainly thinks he is a "big boy" now.  He leaves his own dinner and goes to eat out of one of the dog's bowls.  Well, he knows that there is more in them lol.

Jesse and Jack have really taken to him.  They allow him to paw their faces and we often catch them snuggled up together.  Mind you, as soon as they see us looking, they get up and walk away.  They do not want to be seen actually associating with this small ginger being.  Comical.

Hope you are all having a good week.  Sorry I still cannot comment on your journals, it is just too much to take on at the moment but it will not be too long, hopefully, before I can get back to them.

Love
