Life back on track...
... and so it was. Visit to the Oncologist told us that Lou does not require any treatment and that the best steps now are just careful monitoring. That was Tuesday afternoon. That night Lou and I got tremendously pissed on a concoction of champagne, wine, whiskey and vodka. I vomited into the kitchen sink. Nice.
The next day I had a hot water bottle (full of cold water) balanced on my head like a 'post-modern' hat. Fashion baby. It's been pretty much a cycle of drunk followed by hangover followed by drunk... as was the theme for this weekend as we visited friends in Sheffield. Drunk. But today we are both clear. Lou has gone back to work for the first time in five weeks and I'm a bit more actively minded than normal.
So the result of all of this is that the wedding is now on!!! 10 weeks yesterday we will be bording a plane in Manchester bound for Mexico!!! Can't wait. Has anyone ever been? After two weeks there (getting married at some point) we will then go and honeymoon in vegas - anyone been there? I think it might be difficult - wink wink.
So I'm jovial. Hell, you only live once and I think that although you are always told this, it is vitally important that we all follow it. ENJOY YOUR LIFE! When that friend calls and asks you to go for a drink or that cute girl at work smiles at you - do it. Make the move. Drink with the friend and ask the girl out. If you enjoy life then people will enjoy you. It's contagious you know. What I'm trying to say is that we're all hypocrits at times. Even me. I find it difficult deciding on going out - only to be the life and soul of the party when I am out. It's a bit weird really. So live it and love it.
I've learnt to do something lately - I don't know about where you live but I have started to really see the trees. It's like I've all of a sudden flipt my vision so that rather than seeing a load of buildings with the odd bunch of trees around them... I'm actually now seeing a forest that people have started to put buildings in. It's subtle but it wosrks. At times I can be driving down the road and it looks funny. It really looks like building have just been put up where they shouldn't. It's kinda nice and makes me smile anyhow - I know what you're thinking - "nutter". Probably true.

hello,
Sunny Sheffield is only up trhe road
just set up a link to you.
I think you are meant to do beer then wine and you'll be ok?! Mixing drinks is always seems like a good idea at the time...I suppose one advantage is you get colourful vomit!
Glad you are smiling again, pity it was my bloody kithen sink you threw up in the other night!!!
Keep up the good work (not the vomiting, the blog!). It looks really good and comoox.com looks very impressive on my work PC
I like your tree philosophy. And I mean that in a sincere, non-snarky way. I should do that more myself.
I've been Mexico but I was 12 and with my parents so it wasn't quite the debaucherous experience it could have been. Haven't done Vegas...yet. It'll happen, though. Oh, baby, is it going to happen.
I should have added HAVE FUN and CONGRATULATIONS to that comment, too. :) Sorry. My mind. It wanders.
Philosophical hippy Matt freaks me out. I prefer it when you're rude and then sexually harass me via email.
And you're getting married in Mexico? What's Mexico got to offer that Cheshire hasn't?
Dude thats good news! I'm sure you will have a good time in Mexico!
I had a great time on my honeymoon, I'm sure you will on yours. Although I've never been to Mexico. Looking forward to the happy snaps.
So a lot of your honeymoon will be spent at the tables? :p
Conragulations. Its good to hear Lou is doing alright.
gh, sunny sheffield us up every one's road?
anonymous - how the hell did you find me here!?
prophecygirl, yeh the tree thing rocks. I'm spending all my days in the jungle now
britpop, my lawyers will be in touch... and just because I used the word flange in an email. tut. wash your mouth out.
nrm, I think we'll have the best time.
bonestorm, if you think for one second that i'll be posting pics of me wearing a leopard skin thong whilst playing volleyball on a sandy beach - then you'll be spot on right!
Invader - damn right. We both play so there should be some good fun there...!
It may be the trees that are standing out now, but keep your perspective as is is now and many other great things will appear as well.
