You know how when you haven't posted for a while, & it feels even more weird to actually post?
*face palm*
So, sorry - I am around & I'm okay. I just don't do much online anymore.

As a quick catch up - since my last post, I've had two new cancerous tumors, two surgeries & one round of radioactive iodine. Things are looking better now & I'm having bi-monthly ultrasounds to check for any other growths. Fingers crossed, things are clear so far.

In more pleasant news:

I've had a 'big birthday' (50!!) which I celebrated with a fancy dress party with my friends & family & had the Best. Time. Ever.

Buddy is an old, rather frail boy now, but he's plodding on & still enjoying life. He'll be 13 in January & is managing really well, despite his IBD & arthritis (which we're keeping under control with diet & medication.)

I've learnt to crochet & am now addicted to making amigurumi animals!

I've joined a local, amateur theatre company & am enjoying helping with wardrobe & front of house (not acting - you won't get me on stage!)

Here's my little old man enjoying a day at the beach a couple of weeks ago. ♥

Hugs to all!

Yes, as Nakeisha said below, we were wondering how you were only yesterday (we speak daily on Twitter DM). And here you are with a LJ post, how strange. But lovely to hear from you.

Very sorry to hear you've had to have more surgeries but hope that's it now and you're on the mend. Super that you have new interests and are living life to the full. Crochet is such a theraputic thing, I used to knit endlessly but not in years sadly. Though I did see a knitting pattern I liked recently and bought it... I was in Hobbycraft in Bristol with my grand-daughter (now at uni). Such a tempting place.

I would never have thought that Buddy is 13! Gosh.

You take care and if you're ever down this way pop in for a cup of tea. *Hugs*

Oh, lovely to hear from you, C!
I do hope that you & P are keeping well.

Hobbycraft is wonderful, isn't it? But such a temptation! *g*

Time is such a strange thing - Bud's nearly 13 & you have a grand-daughter at uni! My goodness, where's the time gone? *g*

And if you're ever in South Staffs, please do look us up!
*hugs*
