I'm soooo busy...

So busy doing so little...

Now I get it, how people who do very little yet get so frustrated how busy they are. The less I do, the busier I am and less I seem to get done. How odd!

So speaking with Michael A (fish & chips), he gave me some sound advice, and he should know, he has been to hell and back with cancer, and survived.

"Toopie, don't spend time in bed. If you want a rest, do it in a track suit, do it on the couch but leave the bed for night sleep with Sylvia (& some more advice around that!!!), so bed represents a great space and not pain and sickness."

More too: "Have structure to your days, get up and make the day happen." Now that is exactly spot on...I am feeling as though I am wasting the day - it just vaporizes.

"Exercise every day." Agreed, and I've been doing that recently and feeling so much better. I am not a great water drinker, so the exercise fits in well with drinking at least a 1200ml of water a day/night.

Plenty more advice to come as I feel Michael can offer me so much first hand experience of preparing for the big fight, and for plan B or C if needed. Hopefully we won't need more than plan A, a full cure. Michael got to plan Z I reckon, and always smiling. What an inspiration.

We all need mentors, people we respect and people who enrich our lives to be around. I feel so honoured to know so many amazing and brave people.

Today I went into see Bill Kachirski who owns the Posture Care Chair Company at 100a Fullarton Road, Norwood. We are almost business neighbours, I drive past Bill's showroom several times a day. Bill rang me out of the blue after hearing of my issues, we kinda know each other from a lot of charity events and things; Bill's words to me were just amazing. Adelaide is such a small community, and I am getting a real taste of what a privilege it is to live here. It is so close, people are so kind and it feels good. Really good.

To the many past T&T employees - so many of you have written and wished me well, THANK YOU. A wave of mail arrived following Wednesday 13th  article, you know so well how passionate we are and your letters have more than compensated for the hurt.

It is a great place we live and work, I am feeling very privileged right now.

Janine (my head doctor) has just spent another 90 minutes programming me, I love it. Getting prepared for next Monday, another PICC line to go in, another week of chemo coming up. I am loving learning how to see things differently, and how to strip away fear and worry. The exercise to bring down the pain last Saturday was GOLD. After I get through all this treatment, I am seriously going to share some of this stuff with our team; it would be so good dealing with the tough market and for people who are struggling in sales to learn these life skills.

So, before I sign off, a few more jokes. Blame fellow bloggers for this. Remember...no one makes you read any of this rubbish!

Tonight's jokes are brought to you by Looch....Adelaide's Telstra's king.

Can you believe it?

They sent my income tax return form back to me!

In response to question number 4, "Do you have any dependants? I replied -
2.1 million illegal immigrants,
1.1 million crack heads,
4.4 million unemployable people,
901 thousand people in over 85 prisons,
and 650 idiots in Parliament.

Apparently, this was NOT an acceptable answer.

SMART ASS ANSWER OF THE YEAR 2010!!

A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam.
'Now class, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury, illness, or a death in your immediate family, but that's it, no other excuses whatsoever!'

WHY CONDOMS COME IN BOXES OF 3,
6, AND 12 !!!


A man walks into a chemist with his 8-year old son.

They happen to walk by the condom display, and the boy asks,
"What are these, Dad?


To which the man matter-of-factly replies, "Those are called
condoms, son. Men use them to have safe sex."

"Oh I see," replied the boy pensively.
Yes, I've heard of that in health class at school."

He looks over the display and picks up a package of
3 and asks, "Why are there 3 in this package?"

The dad replies,
"Those are for high school boys, one
for Friday, one for Saturday, and one for Sunday."

"Cool" says the boy.
He notices a 6 pack and
asks, "Then who are these for?"

"Those are for college men," the dad answers, TWO
for Friday, TWO for Saturday, and TWO for Sunday."

"WOW!" exclaimed the boy, "then who uses THESE?" he asks,
picking up a 12 pack.
With a sigh and a tear in his eye, the dad
replied,

"Those are for married men. One for January, one for February,
one for March..."
