Yesterday's cups

I might have to re-use more...

I need to learn the steps!

Remembering my granddad

He always left an opened can for later. One was too much.

back to some kind of normality

my grand-dad died on june 3rd and it left me kind of reeling. it felt like i lost my footing. it's a weird feeling - he was 88 years old and lived a very fulfilling life, altho he did have his aches and pains. on june 10th we were due to go and see him for a long weekend. instead we got to have a long weekend saying goodbye to him.

in all of this we've recieved the news that my dad's cancer it still causing havoc and the medics can't say where it is or what's it doing to him other than it's showing up on scans. so in a couple of weeks' time he's due to have yet another full body scan to see where this cancer monster's hiding.

despite this it's an ok summer. i've been taking care of myself by doing a weight-loss course focusing on the mind more than counting calories. using cognitive behavioural therapy it's supposed to give you the tools to make consicous decisions about what you eat and the exercise you do. one month of group meetings and then a break for two months followed by two follow-up meetings in august and september. it's working in the way that i'm feeling support in this whole thing and that i've lost 4 kg. and it's making me more open about talking about it and being less emotional about it. (but on the other hand, it still feels hard to write about this on the swedish blogg, for some reason...)
