Blog post nr 500!!!! AND 4 days till Nationals....

Wow, post #500!!!! When I started this blog is was more to keep myself busy, I never imagined it would reach post #500!!!! Thanks for still reading it!

The week of Nationals in Pretoria has finally arrived!!!! On Thursday I'll be working half-day and travelling to Pretoria (not far, but traffic HORRIFFIC), although hopefully I miss the worst of it. Thursday night is the AGM and welcoming, and the sporting events will start on Friday (in my case squash @ 14h00). On Sat is the athletics (3km race walk, long jump and shot put for me). Then there will be a celebration laps for all recipients and living donors. In the evening it's the gala dinner where my Dr is the guest speaker and we hear if we have qualified for SWEDEN!!!! PLEASE PRAY THAT I MAKE IT!!!! Feels like I have to go for Trevor, Louis, Lynn, Gustav and Landi who would have loved to go but aren't with us anymore...

Last week was same old same old work-wise... stress and more stress (I've got a theory by the way: STRESS breaks down your immune system, just like the drugs I take that costs a fortune... SOOOO, I see stress as an added drug I get for free... killing my immune system and making my body love the new lungies! So all in all the stress is good for me, along with the poisons I drink twice a day :-) Some major changes happening at work and a lot more to come, but I'll welcome any change right now!

Didn't do much this weekend, but did do a lot of gardening today! AND... last weekend I finally planted out the tree I got last year in March at the heart-lung party... see old post. Yay! See pics below...

Have a good week! And WISH ME LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
