It’s All Good News…
Mommy (and Henry) go to China tomorrow.
The calendar for all the grandchildren to count off the days!
Exciting stuff for them – but for me, once again, I have to learn to look after myself (financially and emotionally) again.
Yesterday, I did a test drive by driving my own car to rehab. It’s not very far (about 15 minutes) and we figured that if I had a problem, I could still call Mommy. Well, driving was very distracting – there is no way I can check all my mirrors and my speedometer and where I am going all at once. Something has to give. I arrived at rehab safely after going down the wrong street (despite me repeating Kooyong Road, Kooyong Road, Kooyong Road the entire way). For some reason I turned at Bambra. Doesn’t matter, I still made it.
For all those Melbourne drivers out there, don’t worry, I don’t plan to be driving a lot – just to appointments that I can’t walk to but are still within about 20 minutes from my place. It’s way too exhausting and dangerous for me to be out on those roads. And I won’t be driving at night, because head lights and brake lights hurt my eyes too much for me to handle it.
We have loaded up on all medications so I won’t have to spend too much money, so I should be able to survive while she is away. While we speak (the day before she leaves), Mommy is making chicken soup in single serves for me to freeze.
It sounds like she is going forever, doesn’t it? Mommy is only going for 17 days!
BUT, great news, when she gets back we are (REALLY) thinking about going to Bali. Mommy is determined to work out a way to get us there (using Frequent Flyer miles for me and her benefits from my brother, the pilot). She thinks I need warmth and relaxation – What a good Mommy!
We’ve scoured the internet and this looks like the place. It’s a private 2 bedroom villa, which is almost cheaper than a hotel. Because of the private pool, the villa wins out!
And other great news – I don’t have breast cancer!

Glad the tests came back negative! The villa looks amazing. I’m sure you’ll have a good time there.
Time to celebrate break out the chicken soup! So very glad to hear the booby news. The villa does look wonderful.
Hope you have a good night, sweet dreams.
17 days on your oown – you can do it! You drove, awesome! Brave girl. I don’t mind being on my own, at times its easier, even with having to care for my dogs. It’s my mini-vacation when hubby has to go away for training. Well, to be honest, first week is okay, but any longer is tough.
Bali, how beautiful. New Zealand, Alaska, North Dakota, Italy, Europe – how’d I’d love to go, but I’m so scared to travel or stay overnight anywhere. My routine would be disrupted and that causes problems, big problems. Sitting still on a plane – yikes!
I salute you for going and anxious to hear the details..
great news about the breast cancer you must be so relieved bali sounds lovely and hope you enjoy it when you get there i too love the heat and pool its like heaven to me x
