Update 10.6.14

OK, so the 'CBT' session wasn't really CBT - just an holistic update on how everything was going. So you get a form with a tickbox exercise to then discuss. People are different; some have difficulties that others don't. Some people have real difficulty with appearance, weight, emotion, sex, whatever. Everyone has the 'brush-with-death' and 'living on borrowed time' aspects that affect them, to a greater or lesser degree. I just want my brain back 100% and the bloody tinnitus to stop. Oh yes, I need to keep away from the damn beehive when mowing, as one of the little b*stards managed to sting me somewhere nasty......



...... but the good news is that was last week, so this is how I look now:



Eagle eyed readers will see that the hair is nowv making a determined comeback. The colour has been variously described as everything from 'ash' to 'salt 'n pepper'. Well, at least it isn't ginger and curly....... and at least I'm still here, and able to take Tor out tonight for our silver wedding anniversary (without looking like either a hitman or a victim).

So what's the pivotal quarter-century thought? - well, I'll tell you: no-one knows how much time they've got left, no-one at all. So just enjoy what you have, and don't put off doing anything that you really want to do, because two other things are also for sure; shrouds don't have pockets, and you're a long time dead.....



Lucky escape for me this time perhaps? ...... who knows. Nice to win a hand against the Grim Reaper, but never forget he's carrying all the aces...........
