Hello and welcome to the home of Word of the Week. A nice and simple weekly linky, with everyone welcome to pop by and share. The idea of the linky is to reflect back on your past week and share it with us. It’s great if you can sum it up in a word or phrase, hence giving us your Word of the Week. My word this week is ‘Roller Coaster’ and you can read more about that below.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IF YOU WISH TO LINK UP! FROM NOW ON, THOSE NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES WILL BE DELETED.
I’m not totally strict on using just a word or phrase. But please try to stick to the theme of summing up your week. There are not too many rules with this linky, just remember to read at least another couple of posts in the link up after adding your link. And please only add one post to the link up each week, multiple posts will be deleted. I will read and comment on all posts and tweet them out for you. I also have a Pinterest board devoted to Word of the Week. Please add the badge below to your post so that others may find us and join in. If you comment or tweet then please use the hashtag #WotW
My Word of the Week Roller Coaster
I know I’ve used this word before but I am struggling to come up with anything else as it’s really been a roller coaster of a week.
It began on Saturday when I went out with friends to see Matthew Bourne’s Edward Scissorhands. We had a fantastic day, We went to the matinee so had time for a meal and catch up afterwards, it’s on of my friend’s birthday’s in February and I believe there is not a year in the past 24 years that we’ve not met up, although many years ago we’d probably go somewhere a lot more rowdy than the ballet and be drinking a whole lot more!! The past few years it’s been the ballet though and Matthew Bourne is just brilliant and different and simply a great night out.
Sunday and Monday are a bit of a blur as I was so tired and worn out. Also, I did have a little mishap where I lost something important and I still haven’t found it despite turning the house upside down. I don’t want to share what it is right now but it’s precious to me and I’m really upset. So from a huge high I had a big downer.
Then it was time for the hospital and day one went well. The treatment was a long one but I listened to my audio book, had a nap, and it was soon time to come home. It was pancake day and we had fun stuff planned, but my mood took a real nose dive. The kids still had fun but I was not in the mood at all.
Wednesday I was feeling very low and after admitting to some friends I decided to ask for help from one of the nurses. I’m now getting care next week. I could have got it sooner but it would have meant waiting around for hours and I wasn’t in the mood for that! I was in bed by 8pm Wednesday evening.
Thursday I felt slightly better, so I’m on the way up again. I know I still have a long way to go but I have to keep focused. I’m expecting the side effects of my treatment to hit today and tomorrow so please forgive me if you don’t get any comments from me until Sunday, or even Monday.
I’m actually out again on Sunday (please let my side effects have passed by then) I’ll tell you about it next week. It’s good to have something to look forward to.
Oh and I’ve booked another theatre trip to add to my list. The Little Man expressed an interest in going so I tried to find something suitable and we’ve settled for a youth production of Animal Farm. I’ll take him for a meal afterwards as it’s a matinee. That’s in April, Between April and July I have 4 theatre trips booked. That will be a rollercoaster time, mostly up up and up!
Now it’s over to you, what word or phrase sums up your week this week?
I am glad that despite the roller coaster you are managing to stay positive and ask for help when you need it. Having something to look forward to is such a good idea and I hope you keep it this way. Guess what? This week we were at Star City on Monday and saw a lady in a wheelchair in the arcade. We were sure it was you (but didn’t dare embarrass ourselves to venture over to the lady and find that it was not who we thought it was). Anyway, we told ourselves that we would see on the WORD OF THE WEEK if indeed you went to Star City on Monday. Now I know for sure that it wasn’t you. Cheers for a better weekend and that the effects of the treatment will go easy on you.
oh ladies, that gave me a giggle. It’s been a long time since I went to Star City. One day we will meet I’m sure x
I am so sorry you lost your important thing. I lost an expensive earring on a supermarket car park this week so I can appreciate how upset you must be feeling. I hope you find it. Glad you enjoyed the ballet though and that Little Man wants to go to the theatre too. I’m also glad you asked the nurse for some help. I hope you start to feel better soon
I’m sorry you lost your earring. It’s so frustrating isn’t it. I’m looking forward to taking the Little Man to the theatre x
It sounds like you had a great time at the theatre on Saturday, I just wish you didn’t have to deal with all the downs for the rest of the week! I hope you find the thing that you have lost. I am glad you asked for help and are getting some. I hope you are feeling better and get to go out tomorrow!!
I hope your missing thing turns up. I can’t bear not finding something and will also turn the house upside down to find it. I’m sending you positive finding vibes. I’m glad you asked for help this week and found someone that could set the wheels in motion quickly for you. I’ve not been to the theatre for so long. I keep looking and not finding anything I want to see or at the right time. You obviously have the knack of finding the right shows. I hope the side effects have worn off now and you have a good week.
How lovely to go and see Edward Scissorhands. It sounds like it was a great evening. Hope you manage to find the thing that you’ve lost. Sorry to hear that you were feeling low. It’s good that you felt able to ask for help and I’m glad you’ve got some care sorted out. Hope the side effects from your treatment were short-lived. #WotW
