So today was Day of Reconcilliation. It's been a good day! Only woke up at 8:45am (although I need to mention I slept badly, dreamt TWICE that I couldn't breathe - probably because my nose is still a bit blocked, read half a book between 1:30am and 4am, and a dream about work... such fun). Had some yummy toasted sarmies for breakfast/brunch, and then set off to the shops for some shopping. Didn't buy anything interesting though, just pillow protectors and shampoo/conditioner. Got a bit depressed that I don't have money to buy clothes and presents the way I used to be able to do, but at least we have OUR OWN TOWNHOUSE to show for it.
Tomorrow marks 6 months to the start of the Transplant Games! A bit scary, but also exciting. We had to submit our preliminary registration forms this week to our National Team organisers. Definitely going to be the highlight of 2011...

I'm from the USA. What's a toasted sarmie?

I've read your blog on and off since your transplant. I remember when you were so grateful to be working because I thought, "Ughhh!! I'd love to NOT be working!" Now you're complaining about your job just like those of us who don't worry about chronic illnesses. I hope you dont mind that I've pointed this out...it's been so enlightening to "see" you transform.
Haha, yes that's true!!! I should have enjoyed my not-working more I think! Although it is nice to feel like I'm contributing to society too, and if I had the choice I'd still rather be working than not. I think it's the 15 days leave a YEAR that gets me down... esp over Christmas time when it feels like the rest of the world is on holiday. But yeah, in many aspects my mentality is becoming more "normal" than "sick".
