Combining what needed to be done (hospital visit for another blood test) and what we wanted to do: having lunch in Scheveningen. Lunch was great and so was the result of the blood test.

72 Lazy Day(s)

It is a lazy day and I can tell my body needs one of those. Blood test yesterday showed a small drop, so my body isn’t up to speed just yet. Still recovering from the whole radiation period. So a lazy day is welcome. Woke up with a mild headache, so that’s a good reason […]
