How much fun it is to write a sentence a day to remind us of the good, and the bad, times we had. Because time goes by so fast and it’s good to create memories by a sentence a day. You can join our linkup up with a similar post. Or start with writing your memories and join us next month!
Sentence a day: December
12/01 Still not feeling good, but in the evening we went out for dinner with friends and that took my mind off from being sick.
12/02 Feeling bad and tired but we went out to look for furniture.
12/03 Worked out, did not go very well and blogged, and rested.
12/04 Worked out and my physio therapist told me to take a X-ray photo of my lungs, what I did and it was exhausting, in the afternoon my doctor called to say that I had to start with an anti-biotics treatment because I had a double infection.
12/05 Canceled my appointment to go shopping in Oberhausen with Celina, to sick and to weak.
12/06 Feeling weak but I did work out and rested after that a lot.
12/07 Today we had an appointment in Utrecht at the university hospital to see if I should already be on the transplant list, this is a very tiring morning and I hate that hospital, afterwards we treated ourselves to an Asian lunch, I am pretty stable and don’t have to be put on the list yet.

- 6 minutes walking test, very tiring

12/23 We went to my sister and brother-in-law to see the Christmas barn that he builds every year, you really have to take a look at that, we ate sushi on the way home in our favorite sushi restaurant.

What a brilliant idea, Nancy!! Chronicling life at the rate of a sentence a day is both fun and undaunting. I would love to try this.

Thank you Martina!
I’m SO glad you’re feeling better Nancy. It’s so frustrating when you have no control over your health like that.
I’m not sure I realized you knitted?? Did you know that I’m a knitter?? It’s such a great activity especially in the winter months!! And so creative!!

Well Jodie…….it’s not knitting but chroching? Is that a word, because I googled the translation but I can’t find the correct word.And I can only do one stitch and only do scarves. Yust straight and nothing else. But I find it very relaxing.
That scallop dish and heck all of the food in this post looks wonderful! It sounds you are feeling better! I am glad you don’t need to be put on the transplant list yet and I’m glad you go to enjoy a tasty lunch after spending time in that hospital you hate! 🙂 Happy New Year!

Thanks Carrie, yes that was a treat! And my hubby can cook like a pro!
What a lovely idea to write a sentence a day. I’m thinking of doing the same, if only for myself. Good to hear that your medication has kicked in and phew, it must be a relief not to be put on the transplant list yet! xxx
Author
It is, but sometimes I get so tired of fighting that I want a transplant. Like now!Haha. But it’s good as it is.
Happy New Year, Nancy! I’m glad you finally got over being sick. Your husband’s Christmas eve dinner looks wonderful!
Author
Yes, me too! pff, it took a long time.
Happy New Year! All that food looks scrummy…and even though it’s retro, you can’t beat a good prawn cocktail!
Author
You are absolutely right!
That’s a great doable goal! Short, specific and not hard! Happy New Year, Nancy!
Author
Thanks Sheila!
A sentence a day is a great way to remember the month. Sorry to hear that you were sick too. That’s no fun.
Author
No it wasn’t, but I feel much better now. Thanks Julie!
I am glad you are doing well now! May you have a happy and healthy New Year dear Nancy!
Love, Claudia

Thank you very much Claudia, I wish nothing less for you my friend!
So very behind on my blog reading but off work today and remedying that right now. Your photos in the SaD graphic are absolutely incredible. You are so faithful to working out! What do you like to do to stay in such fabulous shape? We have been to the gym exactly once this year. Have to go today. Have to!!!
Author
Haha, but if you do work out on a regular base, you will notice that you will love it and then you will make the time for it! I like the leg press a lot because it really makes my upper legs stronger and I am compatitive and want to push the largest amount of weight of our group! Hahaha
