Day 65: Satellite 5

Satellite 5 friends
Day 65 and I am feeling fragile, so I reached for a pair of trusty, comfortable, old friends. These are one of my first purchases from Satelitte from about 8 years ago - a silver mandala on a hook. They are light and comfortable to wear, and thus I often take them travelling with me as I can leave them in and forget about them.









Harts Peak, Tassie w Cazy,  2015
Satellite 4 in Dubbo
I found these shots of me doing just that when I was 'off road' in recent years - colouring in while camping (gulp!) outside of Dubbo after a visit to Western Plains Zoo, and during a bushwalk (double gulp!) with my boys and Cazy and Ben et al up beautiful Hart's Peak in Southern Tasmania during the 2014-15 Christmas holidays.

I'm feeling wiped out today, both because of yesterday's treatment and because of the nasty steroids which kept me up til very late, then with little ability to sleep. Hence, again I've largely lost to ability to speak and am tippy toeing around quietly. At least this time the nausea is hugely reduced and I no longer have to tolerate the sickly sweet smell of the epirubicen as it exudes from my pores.

This afternoon I sat with the puzzle for awhile, determined to get it finished. A last minute panic ensued when I couldn't find the final piece; it was soon discovered matted in Molly hair down the back of the couch - Phew! Now I can hand it over to Deb for her enjoyment. It was such a pleasure to work on this lovely image and again I was left feeling panicky to have it done, so I summoned what energy I had and with Robbie scurried up to Newtown to purchase my next jigsaw challenge - a classic Renoir. I'm itching to get into to it tomorrow. A lovely evening walk with Rob, Gus and Molly dog once the heat dissipated ended a quiet day.
