I welcome the weekends - not so much for any lay-in, but because it is much easier just to go and have a lie down for half an hour or so and get up refreshed ready to tackle the world.
I have kept the work going - there is one very interesting development thing I am doing, in addition to a number of events and activities that I am organising.
Next week I have to give two brief presentation to major events, so am trying to get my head round preparing for those. I have been getting a bit slower - it's not that easy to measure, but it hit me last week (in my quiet period of blogging) when a new activity was thrown my way with the expectation I'd somehow fit it in - that is not so readily possible now.
Although I cannot rest during the day when I'm at work, I do find that I don't have time to think about Hepatitis C - except for when the dry, convulsive, asthmatic type cough hit me, usually when I change activities, move rooms, or sit down to a lunch. People in my large open plan office are sympathetic right now (they don't know I am undergoing Hepatitis C treatment),and are putting it down to a lingering cold. I might have some explaining to do if it carries on for months! Still, I am aiming to take things one day at a time.
Otherwise today (Saturday) has involved the usual routine of ferrying children to various activities, and I have managed to do the vacuuming (a bit more coughing!) and a bit of cleaning. My family is being less demanding on my domestic chores (I never was the best at doing them!), but I really do want to pull my weight here.

Hi Jon
Hope you are having a good weekend.
I live in California and our public broadcasting is broadcasting "The British Beat" so I am hearing the Animals and the Zombies so far. Lots of memory Lane.
I am taking your advice you gave me on June 19 and am looking for a
support group. You'd think in CAlifornia there would be one on every corner. If I have to go a distance, I don't care. I can also get info on starting one in my area, which might be a good goal.
Since reading your blog, I am sleeping much better and feel much more relaxed about starting the treatment in 12 days.
It is great you don't have to think about Hep C all the time. Believe me, you are giving me HOPE!
Jennifer
Thank you Jennifer,
That takes me back too....
It's worth travelling a long way to meet up with a regular support group. Mine meets once a month on the first Monday of every month.
I send every good wish for your treatment and that it goes well. Do let me know how you get on.
Remember, help is always at hand - it just reaches you from the direction you'd least expect sometimes!
With Best Wishes
John
