Cancer, Depression and Me.

Went my sisters yesterday with my mum and all the kids. They all played in the hot tub. My mum made a lovely salad for dinner. I stayed about 5 hours, which is alot longer than I usually stay out of the house, so im proud of myself for pushing myself to interact longer. After my mum left, my brother came. It was a lovely day catching up with the family.  This evening im going a friends to meet up with a few friends for a catch up. Can't be bothered really, my social battery is a bit low, but ill push myself to go. Ill have to wait for Jasper to come though so he can watch Jesse for me. I feel a bit deflated. Not sure why. I miss my dad and son so much. I hate that ive got to carry on living without them. Ill never get to see my dad grow old or my son become a man. He was just a baby. 21 and 55 are no age to die. It kills me inside. I just need to live long enough to see my boys grow up, then im done. Im 42 now, I dont see myself here next year, but saying that ive thought the same ...

I forgot to blog yesterday, Jesse spent the day out with Damian, Louise and the kids. He didn't get back home till 8ish at night. Im laid up to the eye balls, sore throat and my nose wont stop running. Got go the job centre today with Jasper. Not looking forward to it because its an half an hour appointment and I feel like shit, but he doesn't want to go on his own. Going my sisters tomorrow for a bbq, mums going too. Be nice have a catch up. Dont see my mum that often so it'll be nice. I honestly feel like shit, wish I could just spend the day in bed. Need go Asda too to get some food in for tea. God knows what im going do. Sick of thinking everyday what do for tea. Mental health is suffering a bit through the school holidays, it'll be because im not leaving the house as much as I was. Feel a bit deflated. Miss my dad and son. I was talking to them the other day hoping they could hear me. Told them how much I miss them and how life is so hard without them both here. Ev...

I was half asleep this morning in a dream like state and I remember thinking to myself, I need to ring my dad to see if hes ok because I know hes got cancer and ive not heard off him in a few days. Then it slowly came to me that he was already dead and my heart broke all over again. Was so weird. I was awake, but asleep if that makes sense. Ive woken up with a sore throat today. My plan is to take Jesse Forest Park with his scooter, but im really not feeling it. I dont know, ill see how i feel after dinner. Did I tell you Jesse got his first phone yesterday? Hes over the moon, took me ages set it up and add all the family's phone numbers etc. Ive put life360 on our phones so we both know where each other are all the time. Can't believe hes got a phone, it was bound to happen sooner or later, hes in year 6 in September. Last year of primary school. Crazy how fast time goes. Ive got no motivation to do anything, i need to get myself dressed and leave this house, even if its just ...

Done nothing today except watch Manifest on Netflix. Its really good. I was thinking earlier about how death has completely changed my life, from being so outgoing to barely recognising myself. I didn't stay there too long because it would of made me sad, but it does make you think. Anyway, got my brother coming tomorrow. Jesse gets his first phone tomorrow, just a Samsung, but hes dead excited. My little boy is growing up way too fast. He needs his own phone now because he keeps using mine whilst hes gaming, talking to his cousin Luther. He was going have a phone for Christmas so its only a few months early. I remember when Jay-Dee and Jensen had their first phones when they were in primary school and now one is dead and one is on the sick at work because hes depressed. How life changes. Miss my son and dad so much. Everyday is hard without them, but im trying my best to live this life ive been given. I miss my dad's company, I use to have a beer with him every single day. Not...

Didn't get out of bed till nearly 11am. Jesse just let's me sleep, he gets up and just goes on his computer, bless him. If I didn't have Jesse and animals to feed id just rot in bed all day. Im just tired all the time. Its 7pm now and I can't wait get back into bed. Im trying get through all Jasper's washing hes brought back off his holiday.  We've had Domino's pizza for tea, I only had 2 slices because im on the Reta jab. Trying to cut my calories down. I'd usually have a large pizza to myself and eat half now and half the next day, so the jab is working because I was full after 2 slices. Im 12lb down. 2 more lbs and ive lost a stone. I can do this! Im fasting now till tomorrow dinner time, i think its helping the weight loss. Mentally im doing ok. Had a few sad moments, but ive snapped myself out of it. Got to keep going for my boys.

Met up with my sister today at Forest Park, I took Jesse and she had 2 of her kids. They took scooters, skateboards and skates and had alot of fun. The weather was lovely, we had ice creams and ice lollies. The kids had fun and thats the main thing. Its so hard finding things to do through the 6 week holidays that dont cost alot, so it wont be the last time we go the park id imagine. Ive been the chemist to collect my medication and then we went Asda to get everything to make tacos for tea. Jensen came to collect me with my shopping and Jesse asked if he could go home on his scooter. I was a bit reluctant, but I said yes. Hes growing up too fast. Hes becoming more independent.  Jasper isn't coming today, hes in bed not feeling very well. I think his 2 holidays in 1 month have caught up with him and he needs to rest, especially after going on a lads holiday haha. Anyway, tacos for tea were lovely, messy, but nice. Ive taken my night time meds and im going get in bed watch some more ...
