Normal Service has Resumed

Back to positivity now. Sorry bout that.

They call it the Sandwich Generation - when you are caring for your children and elderly parents at the same time. That’s where Derek is at, although he has the lovely added bonus of caring for his wife as well. Like an extra dollop of mayonnaise that you really didn’t want.

I, on the other hand, have my parents looking after me and my children. So I’m like a bit of ham that wiggled out from between the two slices of bread and am happy out on the plate, wondering which mustard I’d like. 

Thank you Mum and Dad.

Good Things about Cancer



Cake. Lots of cake.

My ability to care less about stuff has increased exponentially. Turns out that lots of annoying things don’t really matter that much.

Clichés are allowed. Spending time with friends and family really is the best thing in life.

I have a back-story, ready to be trotted out whenever I need it. “You can’t arrest me Officer, I have cancer!” 

I would win X Factor hands down. 

People bring pre-made dinners.

I can go for a nap whenever I want. 

What’s not to like?
