I can’t cope

I know that she is struggling at the moment. @tyme. She is allowed cuddles but I just want to get her use to being confined for a couple of days. I’ll get her out on Sunday for some her and me time. Mum will take her for a walk in the pram on Monday. I’ll get her to drop the pram off when I’ve finished my block so I can get her out.

Yes 16 weeks of recovery but I’m hoping that because I’m paying for proper rehab it may be quicker than the sheet I was given. She sees the rehab specialist on the 29th. It could be weekly or fortnightly. But I’d rather go down that way for a better chance of recovery because she is so young. After this is sorted, I’ll ask about what is best to treat her arthritis.

I can’t believe you still haven’t got a bed! 😂. Its lucky you only live next door. I hope you aren’t getting sick. How is your niece feeling? Hopefully if she isn’t too bad you won’t get to sick.

Do you need to look after yourself with your low iron. Are you able to get an injection for it? Mum has to have them.

Im glad you are mentally ok just lacking in energy. My question for you though, is it a warning sign?

Pretty much slept. I did order more Lego and mum and dad came around to drop Pix’s exercise sheet off. They had to touch things. Mum even picked up the peg basket! Like WTF! Dad moved a pen. I know it’s minor things but really.

Do you have any plans for the weekend?

Just like my niece!!! It's soooooo irritating! Comes to my place and touches EVERYTHING... like her hands can't help but move things. I can't stand it! And she's the clumsiest thing in town. She came to me yesterday, then accidentally dropped my headphones and glasses, then accidentally kicked them under the lounge!!! @Captain24

Boy oh boy it's frustrating!

So yes, I know how annoying it is to have your peg basket moved or your pen. It's like, "Can you NOT???"

As for this weekend, my sister wants to go to a Sri Lankan restaurant. I don't really like Sri Lankan food, but I might just go with them all.

I don't know what else I'm doing at the moment. I have a few things to write up in terms of paper work behind the different functions/areas we are looking to implement on the forums. Nothing can go live until I create these docs lol.

I don't know everything, but I think it's exciting times ahead for the forums. I don't have the whole picture in my mind, but it sounds very interesting indeed. So that's probably my weekend 🙂

You?

It’s all good @Bow. You need to do what’s good for you.

I’d stress too. It’s what I always worry about.

Im glad your headache is starting to ease. They are horrible to have.

It’s good D is going well. I use to always love the fundraising days. You got to be out of uniform and there was always yummy treats!

How long until you go on holidays?

Sometimes it’s hard to find your motivation. I’ve got a diamond art arriving next week that I have to get done pretty quickly as it’s for a friend and I’d like to have it done by Christmas but I don’t think I can get it done that quick.

I also have another Lego arriving next week. It’s a big one so it’ll take some time. Plus 2 others in early to mid December. At least it’s 2 different things to do. I did try puzzles but they are just too hard for me. I have bought a dot to dot book so I could dig that out as well.

I hope the market goes well and you can cope ok.

Oh.. you totally get it. It is frustrating. She sounds a little annoying in that way! It’s even just the little things. I don’t disrespect anyone like that.

Also as they were walking out mum stuck her head into the media room. There is no door so I can’t shut it off. But why? Was there even a need to check it? I also had to hide the Lego I was doing as I didn’t want any questions. The next one to arrive is the Piano. So I’m going to have to put it away when I know that they are going to be here.

It’s my house and my life!!

I’ve never had Sri Lankan food. I did try Sudanese about 10 yrs ago. I don’t really remember what it was like just that we all loved it!

I hope the forums moving forward is a good thing. I think the Co-design was helpful and informative. I would like to join the other part but it would depend on time and day with my work roster. Good luck with all the paperwork. I hope it works out for you. It sounds like you are the driving force behind it?

I really need to mow the lawn and do a lot of ironing. But other than that there isn’t much else. I should probably clean the main part of the house that mum will see. If it’s not perfect she judges me. You should see their house though. They are borderline hoarders.

Hahaha @Captain24 - I can TOTALLY relate. It drives me bonkers!

You got the piano!!! That's soooo cool! PLEASE take a photo and send it through when you are done. That's the grand piano that plays music using an app on your phone??? It's like $500!!!

I'm glad you found the co-design hub helpful. I did too. It was good to see the parts that members wanted to see improvement. It also showed where we needed to communicate a little clearer about things.

As for the focus groups, I'm not sure what's happening with that yet. I'll let you know.

And no, I'm not the driving force. Rachel, our CEO is. She's got such a vision and drive for this space. There has been such a HUGE investment placed on this whole revamp. Hence we want to hear from as many people as possible.

I need to wash before I can iron lol. But today, I pinched a nerve in my back so I don't think I'll be doing much. I wanted to pick the kids' toys up but couldn't bend lol...

Have you ever had a pinched nerve? It's painful. I have it once every so often. I remember once I had to eat and drink through a straw because I couldn't get up off the floor for a few days lol.

Just real quick cause I gotta put my phone down and sleep. It’s already 8:30!

we leave next Sunday for our holiday. Back the following Friday.

and it drives me insane when people touch my stuff too! I like order, things have their place, I like my bed to be neat and tidy and of course my d will come jump all over it and move all the pillows and blankets after I’ve made it. And leaving all her crap down in my room! I hate it when she plays in my room, don’t trust her not to get into mischief. When I was in hospital this year she got into my paint and got paint all over the carpet! We rent! Just leave my things alone for goodness sake!!

have a good one @Captain24 @tyme im off to TRY and sleeeeeepppp

Oh how frustrating @Bow

I hope you sleep well tonight.

Good night

I'm glad you understand too @Bow ....arghhh

@Captain24 too funny. You are not alone

7.45 pm here @tyme , @Captain24 , @Bow

Yeah I got that one @tyme plus the typewriter and the home alone house. It’s just lucky that I had a training day and it was overtime! I won’t get anymore for a long time though. All of them will take a lot of time. I am waiting for one to come into stock for my brother for Christmas. I’ve got 2 big diamond arts that I need to get done.

I just put Pix on the lounge with me but she jumped straight off. Strictly no jumping for several weeks! She is now back to being locked up!

I didn’t feel really helpful at all though. Rachel sounds like a good investment on SANE’s part. It’s good that you are all driven to make this space better. I’m not really big on change though! 😂 So I am interested to see the improvements

Oh a pinched nerve is horrible. Your back is the worst to do it in. You use it for everything! I hope it settles quickly for you. Especially sharing a bed when you aren’t able to move into the best position to help reduce the pain. Not being able to get off the floor is so hard. That means a lot of pain!!!

I have several slipped discs! When I slipped the ones in my neck they hit a nerve and the pain in my arm was intense. When my lower back ones go out I can barely move. I can never find a comfortable place to sit or sleep. Half the time I can’t even stand up straight. The ED is good though. They give me and injection in my butt and about an hr later I feel like a new person!

Washing can wait.. as long as you have something clean, that’s all that matters. I have about 3 hrs of ironing to do. Maybe I should start!
