R&R

 Recharging my batteries...and Pirate is resting a lot. 

He is gradually getting there, but I reminded him that what you got in that five days carries on working for another three weeks...so you will be feeling crap .

He phoned the cancer department helpline today...yep, three weeks....and it will take another three months or so to get his strength back, they reminded him.       Not a happy bunny, but at least the message got through... don't overdo things, or else....just like after he had covid.....


It is good to be doing ordinary things with my brother... shopping, seeing mutual friends, just day to day ordinary stuff.  I am weeding and cleaning his block paviour drive...he cleaned my car!  He carries on with his life as if we weren't here, but we do things together as well. Most of all, none of us feel that we have to be on Best Behaviour...just relaxed.

Starting to plan which day we take to return home...checking the weather...planning the stops...

I have been recharging batteries all week in Mallorca - a long way to go just to wind down!

Not being on one's best behavior, but rather just being is a good to be able to do around family. x

Rest. Rest. Rest. Both of you get your strength back. Remember the stress on you is as harmful as on Pirate.
