Your wings
Tuesday 29th September
“Your Wings
Were Ready
But My
Heart
Was Not”
So very true.
I was just not ready at all to let you go.
Unbelievably unexpected.
Unthinkable.
No clues or symptoms.
Nothing.
To all intents and purposes things were improving.
Your tumours were shrinking.
One more infusion of chemotherapy.
That was all.
You were on day ninety nine out of one hundred days of treatment.
You had taken it well.
You did what you had to do.
You did what you were told.
We were making plans.
We talked to you about organising holidays.

You fell asleep and didn’t wake up.
You went to Heaven.
Quickly and quietly.
And we are left behind.
Heartbroken.
Empty.
Lost.
We miss you like crazy.

Meal Planning…A Love/Hate Relationship
Continue to journey with me from Flab to FAB
Do you meal plan? Do you love it? Hate it?
Now that I have gone back to work, meal planning is going to be more important than ever! I used to be able to go grocery shopping whenever I felt like it and take my time. Then all afternoon I’d be planning and making dinner. Not so much anymore.
When I come home from working all day the absolute last thing I feel like doing is taking the time to make a big healthy meal. (Can I get an Amen!) I am starving from running around taking care of patients all dayand I want to eat right then! I have to admit, I had a bit of a rough time with sticking to my diet this week. I did awesome during breakfast and lunch, but when I got…
