friday

wow.
that was one loooong week!
thursday night's boat party was okay, i wore my best chloe and scandotrash cruisewear and sat up on deck holding court as the music was sooo bad that i wasn't going to bother dancing - as i've said elsewhere - i'm saving up my dancing for ibiza's closing parties in september!!!!

next day though my ass and everything else was truly kicked.
everything hurt again and tired tired tired - still it was a nice friday having lots of meeting with production companies that have become friends. i am lucky that i love me work! it pushes me through when all i want to do is cry and sleep...which is what i did last night, as tired and hurting is not the best way to go into a shot weekend.

usual 5am wake up, so downed some painkillers but couldn't get back to sleep, so joined the daughter who was passed out on the sofa to watch some old skool star trek episodes. but yuck! there was cucumber stuck to the remote...well at least when she drunkenly snacks it is healthy stuff, lol. so 1pm and finally back in bed all achey breaky - going to get myself together and go to the gym though for some gently gently exercise to try to loosen up these painful joints!

wish me luck...the weather isn't looking too good either.
gotta love the english summer. not.

infected with my love...

can i just say if you have hepC and want an allover body exfoliating massage DO NOT go to the spa at the randolph hotel in oxford!!!! i diligently filled out my treatment card, noting my condition and they refused to exfoliate my skin because of my virus...this is absolutely fucking ridiculous for 3 reasons at least!

1. if they are using an exfoliant so rough that it might make my skin bleed then that is wrong wrong wrong. i have had micro-dermabrasion on my face, neck, and chest and never ever bled ever - so how is a normal body exfoliant mean to make me bleed and infect someone else?
2. if point 1 above is correct and they are using exfoliant sooo rough that it breaks the skin - then because of contamination and cross-contamination purposes they should be treating everyone as tho they are viral!!! as a california state licensed cosmetologist and someone who has dabbled as a piercer and tattoo artist i know for health and safety that you have to treat everyone the same - and protect all.
3. after refusing to give me an exfoliating body massage they offered me a pedicure - with exfoliation and filing of my toenails! ugh....how inconsistent is that????

Anyway, as angry as I was about their stupidity/naivety - their behaviour also really upset me. It is the first time ever that I have felt dirty or infected since my diagnosis and I do have to admit that I choked back tears the entire time during my whole pedicure. Typhoid Mary I am not...ugh.

Oki, rant over I do want to also give props where they are due...
The next day went back and got another treatment - a facial with eye revivier - as I've found that since I've been on the tx that my eyes are ALWAYS tired and I'm looking older. It was one of the loveliest ever facials I ever had and my eyes were sooo revitalised! Thank you thank you thank you to the lovely slovakian girlie who perked me up after crying so much the day before.

I loved the facial so much I bought alot of the products - they are decleor something I used alot of already but let me tell you if you have fluey eyes - their creamy eye ant-wrinkly stuff is lovely and the make up remover also doubles as a refreshing eye gel! Yum...anything to help me feel/look good is worth it with the 45th birthday approaching next week.

And...something I really realised while away this weekend (well besides knowing it sucks) is that I can't wait to get married! I really really wanted to be Mrs all weekend not have different names. I put off planning the wedding til after my tx but more and more I just want to take a long lunch break and go do it one day.
