Best wishes from Tajikistan! You'll be glad to know I caught a fine toilet for you today. Now I must find the toilet thread to put it in ...

My sister bought a gumball machine and made her own Tom Servo. I think she also began acquiring parts to make a Crow T. Robot, but never completed it. AFAIK she didn't attempt Gypsy.

Good luck and try to enjoy yourself Sundae.

Thanks for the wishes - and to those who have expressed it elsewhere.

Goodness, are they free-range over there?!

Anyway, still got three sleeps until I leave.
Less fun than counting down to go to Glasgow, but being 100% sober I do have less to worry about leaving behind. Everything is clean, sorted, as it should be.

Did the ironing tonight, so the white waffle dressing gown is ready to go. I doubt the cheese scones (also made while the 'rents were at Mass) will survive until I leave Tuesday morning, but I didn't make them for me after all. And it's flattering if all eaten!

I know, the future appointment is nothing in terms of investigatory surgery. At least this time I get fed and have two nights (not) sleepover. Right?

May not be able to take a camera. But will certainly take a notebook.

I'll bet you make fabulous scones. Sorry about your Da. Hang in there.

Sundae · 05-19-2013, 03:14 AM

You know what Gypsy, I do make fabulous scones.
And I make even better chocolate cakes.

I'm currently putting together a list of things I've done and/or am proud of.
Cheese scones go on it.

The Safeway supermarket near us has been putting chocolate-chocolate chip scones on sale. It's $5 for a dozen. I don't know if these are proper scones or not, but they are delicious, especially microwaved until the chocolate is molten. I bought the first dozen into the house, but the second dozen appeared as if by magic.

The cheese scones sound wonderful.

I was thinking about saying "I would love to taste your cheese scones.", but for some reason I think that would get me slapped.

I'm sure cheese scones are the least significant item on your list. You have a lot to be proud of. Anyone who works with children does.

orthodoc · 05-19-2013, 06:55 PM

Making a list of the things I've accomplished/achieved/am proud of was one of the most important things I did prior to my divorce. Glad you put the cheese scones on your list. And of course your work with children.

All the best in the next few days, Sundae. I'll be thinking of you. Take the good things you can from the whole experience, keep in touch, and know that we're keeping you close in heart and mind.

Sundae · 05-20-2013, 09:36 AM

One more sleep til hospital.
Packing Mum's little wheelie case tonight. Good wash and scrub and shave tomorrow morning, to be as fresh as poss. Haven't shaved my legs in so long. Retarded hairgrowth has some benefits.

Taking one spare top, two knickers, pyjamas, dressing gown, slippers.
Deodorant, toothbrush and miniature toothpaste, ditto shower gel, talc.
Two library books.
As stated before one Edgar Allen Poe with raven, one photo of Diz & Dylan.
Earplugs, eyemask, notebook and pen, camera.

And good wishes and love and care.

Still to decide what to wear there.
Pretty much everything I have is big on me now.
Except two things I bought as Incentive Clothing, which are still tight and anyway a little too swish for going into hospital in. I mean I don't look like I'm goig out to the opera; if they fit I'd probably wear them. But being tight they give an imression of "dressing up" rather than just getting dressed.

Jeans are hanging down my crotch now.
May just wear the grey trousers I wore to Arran. Or a long skirt.
Will let you know, I know you're excited.

Oh, won't know the results for at least three weeks. They suggest making an appointment after two weeks, but I already have one scheduled, and I'm damned if I make that trek two weeks in a row. I am hoping to have some news back from the last set of tests, but you just can't make those kind of assumption.

Cross your fingers and recite "I do believe in Cherry, I do believe in Cherry" at 15.30 GMT tomorrow and I'm sure it will make everything alright.

Sundae · 05-20-2013, 09:37 AM

Oh, all the cheese scones have gone.

limey · 05-20-2013, 09:45 AM

I do believe in Cherry.

glatt · 05-20-2013, 09:52 AM

Good luck, Cherry! I'll be thinking of you tomorrow at 11:30 am our time.

Ocean's Edge · 05-20-2013, 10:05 AM

keeping a good thought for you

richlevy · 05-20-2013, 08:30 PM

Best of luck Cherry.

I'm sure the English have their 'stiff upper lip' and 'buck up' phrases. Here on the east coast of the US we don't have any cool phrases I can think of.

In Texas they would just slap you on the ass and say 'Git 'er done!'.

Take care of yourself. Take pictures and notes and when you get back to working with the kids again you can show them "Cherry's Big Adventure with the NHS".

You're one tough lady. You will get through this.

Chocolatl · 05-20-2013, 11:46 PM

Nearing 6 AM your time -- hope you're snuggled in bed with Diz, and that he is showing his love for you by not being sick all over.

I carry you in my heart today, Sundae.
