2007 ends and a New year to come!
Let's get this straight from the start! I haven't COMPLETELY stopped smoking yet and I am ashamed of my weak willed, lilly livered excuse making self!
I haven't put anything on here for a while as I have had a lot of distractions, some bad.
Dad has been diagnosed with Lung Cancer. He's had a session of radiotherapy for a few weeks and it's now the "Wait and see how things go" period. It's a sad fact that this might be the last Christmas we have with him around and I hope it isn't. I was in the lucky position, having got the licence and a car, of being able to drive hime the 50 mile round trip for the therapy and it meant that he wasn't going through it alone at least. I've had a bit of a bad health time again. Same problem as the last few and that is the changing of medications, trying different ones and changing doses etc. I am on a regime of trying to stabilize things for a few weeks to give my body a chance to settle and see how things really are at the moment. Not done much cycling at all but have managed to start getting out a little bit this month. Given orders by brother Dave that I have to have a small ride every day, regardless of health or weather conditions. I think I need a kick up the Wossname sometimes and that might just be the key to getting things moving again.
I've made a few tentative plans for 2008, camping meets and stuff like that, and I am going to make sure I am prepared for them this time, rather than leaving things to the last few days and just going for it.
It's my 46th Birthday on the 24th of January so I want to be a non- smoker and have started the weight loss proper by the time that rolls round. I know that I am the only one who can actually make the changes, I can't be watched 24 hours a day, but I will do it this time.
It is so annoying to me that every time I write here it is a moaning session!
Next time I will have some good things to say. I can't control some of the bad things but I can make positive changes in my own small way.
I hope all that read this have a prosperous, healthy and happy time of it in 2008.
