Monday 13th June 2021 - going home

I returned home after weekend with mom.    

I have no idea what I did this week other than spend a few hours on a hot sunny day down at the river in Ellastone.   

Ellastone is a small village outside of Rocester.   It was calm, peaceful and relaxing.   We had taken a picnic but mine wasn't suitable for vegans so I didn't get to share it !    Dawn though, the vegan, had made tomato soup which was quite delicious.  Strange thing to have on a hot day, but it was gorgeous.  

I went into the water with a boogie board that had been abandoned by the river as it had cracked.   But it gave me something to keep me afloat.   I'm a paddler, not a swimmer so being in the water gave us a break from the hot sun.   

It was a strange feeling that day.  My head wasn't full of useless stuff, worrying about stuff.   It was like I didn't have a care in the world.   But what else could I do?   There was no use in being hysterical or dramatic.  
What does a woman with cancer look like?

I just enjoyed the few hours we had by the river.  I almost felt a freedom from all the usual shite going on in my head because nothing else mattered other than getting well.   I suspect there was also an element of denial as well.
