I’m doing ok , not really great , but ok. The catheter thing is a bind and tiring and my energy levels have been depleted by some shocking busy and challenging shifts at the hospice.
The Bun / Weaver thing has saddened me and uncertainty related to what the urology plan has made me all rather stressed
My bestie Nu is overseas and I’m skint and this morning I’ve felt all rather fed up with it too.
That was until I got a message from old friends ally and Tracey
You may remember my reunion with them in York last year after a 38 year hiatus.
“we should be in Llandudno by 1600 on Friday 26. Staying at the Esplanade. We are paying for your room as a birthday treat. dinner at the GOAT 1930, Motown at Venue Cymru after. Good blow in the prom the next day. How’s that? All booked x”
Angels are not strange creatures with wings and halos
They are old friends that catch you out of the blue and who lift you when you are down and flat and running on empty
That's wonderful news. it shows how good a friend you are, that they would organise that for you. Have a great time. xx
ReplyDeleteThat is so lovely. Friends are angels. I know what it like to have a long term catheter and I really sympathise, but nil desperandum, you have wonderful friends, and mystifying cats! Regards Sue H
ReplyDeleteThe certainty about cats is that you never know what sort of character they will develop into.
ReplyDeleteWhat a balm for the soul our friends are! My friends are who make my heart feel full. Love this for you, John.
ReplyDeleteOh, that is so lovely! What treasures you have in your life. I can feel your mood lift from here. xx
ReplyDeleteThere are some really special people in the world - so pleased for you Christine x
ReplyDeleteYour friends are true blue! Feel better. Hugs Bun
ReplyDeleteWish we were all closer, to brighten one another's days. Enjoy the little break.
ReplyDeleteThe last line about friends - powerful words. Truth! I am happy for you John.
ReplyDeleteThat is love! Enjoy the anticipation and enjoy the weekend :)
ReplyDeleteHow nice to have a happy getaway to look forward to. Relax and rest up for the adventure!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you have such good friends in your life. Life has been kicking me in the ass lately too. Hope you have a wonderful getaway.
ReplyDeleteYou are beloved for good reasons.
ReplyDeleteSo true! You are blessed to have such good friends, and they are blessed to have you.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful. What good friends you have!!!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely and what perfect timing! Enjoy that enduring friendship. This proves what a special person you are.
ReplyDeleteLike attracts like. You have cultivated wonderful friends due to your being one yourself. A great adventure awaits!
ReplyDeleteBun & Weaver know where their home is, what’s there for them but now need to explore. I had two males, best buds, disappear, only to show up six months later. They never left again. Hugs, Dee
They truly are good friends, the sort that read the lines and read between the lines too, and offer themselves when they are needed the most ... just like you do for other people.
ReplyDeleteLet the Bun/Weaver situation sort itself out naturally, that's what I did with the Toby and Tess situation. That's black cats for you, totally unpredictable but usually, after a time, the most loveable.
Sounds like this lift is coming at just the right time for you John. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteWhat nice friends!!!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like Weaver stresses you out when she is there and when she is not there. I think you just need to resign yourself that she cannot be tamed and will do whatever she likes and just not fret about her. Just let it go. Its not good for you!
Linda from PA
What a delightful outing you have to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteStay safe & well, John dear.
good to see friends..and even better, organised friends!!
ReplyDeleteYou are loved! And valued!
ReplyDeleteJohn, I am soooo happy for you, dear friend!! A visit w your angel friends will be so
ReplyDeleteGood for you and it’s going to lift your spirits! I hope Nu gets back soon.! I know that darn catheter makes you miserable. It’s 2026 and you’d think medical peeps could come up w something better! I’m sending you and your friends huge hugs and tons of love!!!❤️. Enjoy! Carol in Atlanta
ReplyDeleteI am so glad for you! Hurrah! Go and be refreshed.
