All is quiet here - the girls are long in bed. My lovely friends came tonight with dinner and kept me chatting so it wasn't just me and the girls.
Today another lovely friend gave up her day off to take me to Robina to collect my wig and take me doona and new sheet shopping. Turns out she's a guru at interior design - who knew?? She was whipping things out and showing me what went with what - I have a beautiful bed linen all washed and on my bed ready. We had lunch - she's a BC survivor - treatment finished and 6 months clear. I call her warrior girl - she so feisty and healthy and fit and everything that I'm not. It worries me.

A friend picked up the girls and took me to the post office this afternoon and I collected two incredibly thoughtful packages from two ladies I have never met and I feel so very very touched that they took the time to do that and send such heartfelt wishes. I am sad I haven't thought to do that for more people over time when I so easily could.
More cards arrived today - and for that I thank you all.
Richard and I spoke earlier - it's hard with the three hour time difference -and hes working 14 hour days so when he is home he can take some time. He's over there worrying I am over here worrying but worry gets us nowhere. We know that but still we do.
I'm listening to a carefully compiled USB of music from some lovely friends from work as I type this up and transfer music to my Ipod in readiness for the days ahead. Such thoughtfulness stops me and makes me teary constantly.
I want for nothing.
One of my girls in her wisdom decided to change Faith's ( my special Blythe doll) clothes into a different outfit from the one that I had her in in readiness for tomorrow. I asked her to change her back and in the process she misplaced her hat. It's a small thing - a tiny thing and as the evening went on we realised we really had no clue where it was.
I became so sad - ridiculously sad over it-not cross just sad. And then my beautiful girl said to me Mumma it's just a hat you have to learn to compromise and find something else. ( yes she still makes me stop and think what the? when she comes out with stuff like that - she's always done it )
Such wise words for a little person.
That's my life right now I'm learning to compromise.
As I sat to write this post with Faith in front of me - with a different hat - I pulled out the keyboard and there it was - the missing hat -sitting waiting.
So maybe, just maybe I won't have to compromise for very long.
Minute by minute thank you for walking with me.
Not sure when I will be back - you can watch my twitter for updates or Mel may pop on and give you an update.
