Thank you @Shaz51 💞
I've woken with a screaming headache and not a lot of motivation today. Planning on a walk during my lunch break just for fresh air and to get out of the house.
Hello @MDT @LostAngel @Lost9 all here. Enjoy your day ☺️

Oh no @Anastasia! How awful to wake up with a headache. I hope the fresh air will be able to help a little.
Take care!

@Shaz51 @MDT @Anastasia @LostAngel @Lost9
my coping toolbox is empty right now... just going through the motions... luckily Mr S isn't too bad atm although we had a nightmare weekend away a couple of weeks ago, p'raps I'm still not over that - he only has to look at me sideways this week and I panic.
I'm having one of those weeks where I'm always cranky and don't give a toss about stuff - unlike me
no time to do anything I enjoy - I'm either working, cleaning, cooking or I'm just too tired to move. I haven't picked up a needle in weeks, which is probably why I'm cranky in the first place.
anyhoo, love to all.

Hello and hugs @SJT63 ❤❤
Sometimes the busiyness of our days takes over our self care and it is sometimes hard to fit it in again
I am in the same boat at the moment and thinking how did I fit those self care things in before
Is there time today to fit in your hobby , sitting with you xx
