...when life sends us lemons....

2 April 2008

.....make lemonade!

That seems to sum up my life at the moment... sometimes it takes time...but there is always a positive in every situation if you think about it long enough.
There are however a few things....that Im still thinking on....

like poor Mitch...or silly Mitch.... who backed into a car at work the other evening....it belonged to another employee who had parked in an unusual spot.... however he wasn't paying attention!
.... and although he didn't damage his car....he created himself a $700.00 bill to repair hers... it makes me sad to think how long he is going to have to work to pay this off.

like the weather today.....it literally blew all day.....and the dust was incredible... it has seeped inside through every crack.... and our new house is full of it too..... not really what I was wanting the day before my chemo....I hate the thought of cleaning it all....

I did try to take a photo....but a camera just doesn't do it justice... like the spam comment I had on my last blog post....not sure how to delete it.

like my bigpond internet returning emails this morning....not allowing me to send to certain addresses.....then the 30 minutes on the phone to tech support....who advised me to send them an email detailing the problem...only to find I couldn't send emails to them either.... grr

Then of course there are lemonade moments....
Like banking the 'Worlds greatest Shave" money..... off the top of my head...around $1300.00 to the Leukaemia Foundation......and around $900.00 to the Breast Cancer Foundation.....I'm so thankful for all the support... the sponsorship... and online donations.... Thankyou.

like our new home....almost finished... and the wonderful excited feeling I get whenever I day dream about finally moving in....I have a picture in my head of exactly how it will look....I just hope it all fits as well as I'm imagining.

Well....thats enough lemons and lemonade tonight....Im off for chemo tomorrow....dreading it with every bone in my body.....but also just wanting it done and ticked off the list.
I have two wishes....one ...that my blood tests are good enough for it to proceed...and two....that the sore throat I have tonight disappears overnight...

See you all when the smile returns to my face.... Mardi x

  6. Thinking of you today Mardi & hoping your smiling face while be back real soon to brighten all our days!!
    Even though these bad lemon days seems to really suck at times without them we wouldn't be able to taste the true sweetness of the good ones!! Hope that kinda makes sense.
