Well here I am again. Its 4.30 and I am wide awake. I can hear the birds waking up and its light outside with that sort of strange early morning light. I have slept from 11 - 12.15 and then until 4 hoping that is not it! I cut the steroids today so maybe the sleeping will improve after that. For anyone who has been part of our last journey you will know that I had an awful time with steroids before so I am really grateful that the Dr has given me a half dose and that so far it has been fine apart from the sleep. Thank you for those of you who have been specifically praying about this.

We had a lovely family day yesterday. We laughed a lot and I managed to eat a proper meal. The tablets are keeping the sickness at bay very successfully. My biggest problem is the breathlessness when walking anywhere - hoping when I start taking the iron next week that will help.

I am looking forward to seeing friends today. But not looking forward to my lovely girlie going back to uni. She has exams on Monday and Wednesday and then will be back on Thursday for the summer. Hurrah! Washing hair without her will be an adventure!

My big boy is coming home on Monday for 2 days so that will be lovely.
