Getting Set

After a busy week we haven't done much this weekend.

Kitten and Boogle were both ill yesterday, so I took Huffy ice-skating and he had Boogle's lesson. 

The Italian clan were there in full force.  Happy birthday to "Superflo" for  a couple of days ago.

With both chemotherapy and radiotherapy looming on Wednesday, my parents will be coming up from Wales tomorrow and taking the children back with them on Tuesday for about a week.  That will allow Kitten and I to get the hang of things without distractions.  I hope to be able to get a decent appointment time for my daily radiotherapy appointments, so that I can free up the day in the eventually that I am still able to operate at a decent level.

I am feeling strong going into this with only the increased eating difficulties being of cause for concern.  This morning I felt very relaxed doing the chi-kung this morning and I will revisit an earlier analogy in explaining the relevance.

The simplest analogy for the initial benefits of chi-kung is to transform one's energy from what might be visualised as a "stormy sea" into calm waters, addressing the fragmentation of our daily lives.  On the basis of that analogy then I am reaping benefits through regular practice.

A good frame of mind is the best thing that I can take into the next few weeks and getting plenty of rest is the best thing to add into the mix.
