I wake after a good sleep – zopiclone for the win! I call it my Friday night special. 

Susannah has the whole week off, so 9 days starting from now. We had planned to go away in our van but the weather is so shitty and cold that we decide to stay at home. We are both worried about me getting cold or sick or doing anything that would potentially delay treatment. There is no time to lose I think.

We decide to check out pizza ovens, something Susannah has been wanting since we bought the house. We go to a store in Parnell and return home with an Ooni Fyra 12, a pellet fuelled oven that makes 12 inch pizzas. It’s a birthday present for Susannah. She will be 60 in September and I’m secretly hoping that we’ll get good enough at pizza making to have a family pizza party to celebrate.

We go to Spotlight to buy cushions for our sofa. Throughout the whole shopping trip I find myself getting dizzy, seeing spots, almost like I’m going to pass out. I wonder if it is the blood pressure medication? I decide to take it easy for the remainder of the day.

My Aunt J visits and brings a large box of fruit as a gift – yay, more juice! It’s very much appreciated.
