Couple of questions and comments for a Saturday afternoon - there were more, but I appear to have lost them somewhere in FB!

- how can togs EVER POSSIBLY cost $486?!

- current view and current sounds below

- and then, this never gets old! Ever!

https://open.spotify.com/track/2kkvB3RNRzwjFdGhaUA0tz... And then I get to 3:10 and it gets even better!

- my daughters obviously have Le Riche feet. Mine are so Percy-Deppe feet! (See pic!)

- I miss my mum. And her feet.

- I miss my Dad and his very white knees.

- I wish my mum had met Mark - I suspect she'd have liked him.

- It's nice to get the crack consultant without having to fight for them.

- heard from MS Nurse - thank you Fiona!

- Ann T... I'll send you the link for my 'liked songs' - there are 489 of them and I suspect that not everyone will want all of them!

However weird this may sound...

This has been a crappy crappy 9 weeks - really crappy,

BUT, BUT... here I sit in an Auckland hospital ward, ever so slightly too warm and all I'm thinking about is the gorgeously wonderful people that I have around me. Seriously. I've been chatting this evening in Messenger to Sarah, Salbags, Tracey and Ann and listening to music that reminds me of lots of other people in both hemispheres - Bat Out of Hell, Perfect Day and Hold Me Now and thinking about all the kindnesses that have been showered on me in the last little while. Everything from Fudge and Ginger Crunch to flowers and my team bending over backwards to make it ok for me not to be at work. And what's become clear is that the shit will pass. (I hope!) The pain and the NMO will be managed (again - I hope!!) and in the meantime the lovelies will still be here. Mark and the girls and Soph will still be here, and friends of old, and friends newly made will be here and they will have my back and give a crap that I'm ok. The silver skirt will come out and dance! In both hemispheres! Shall I get the bucket now or later?!

I'm just waiting for my new dose of pain meds - but I'm not allowed till 8pm..... children's bed time again!
