not feeling good

Hi dear friend @Former-Member

I didn't sleep well last night. I was up at 2am-3am. Got up and made a tea and sat quietly. And up again at 6am. My throat hasn't improved. I'm hoping eith snother cortisone tab tiday will improve.
little A is awake and reading (or pretending) books. shes very clever she remembers the words when my D reads to her and now she knows what the books about.
going to rest as much as possible today again.
I hope you can have a nice day. Xxxx

Good news re COVID @BlueBay 👍💗 I hope the tonsils and glands settle down soon. Enjoy your afternoon rest. Going to do the same here too shortly. Still feeling unwell after bad headache and associated nausea today. Hope to chat later.

hi @Maggie @MDT @Molliex @Owlunar @Faith-and-Hope @Angels333

and others following -

i am so glad that i have this week off from work before my surgery next tuesday. i think my sore throat and covid testing had put an instant stop to working, which in a way was good. although today i am feeling a bit guilty for been home. after my surgery i will be home for two more weeks before i can resume work and it will be light duties i am sure.

i am speaking to my dietitian this thursday which will be good. i have a few things i need to talk to him about. and he is great in listening and giving me some positive points/tips and things to try and do.

it is really hard at the moment financially. i have been looking for work but i don't think i am in the right headspace to even think of work. but i am trying to think ahead.

i had this silly thought yesterday afternoon that i could study again and do cert iv in mental health. what a silly thought that was!! Then i looked at medical receptioinist which i could study - it's only 4 weeks on friday's. but then i negated that with "well then how do i get a job in that field, what's the point, i couldn't get a job, so there's no point in studying".

I really don't know what to do. i try to weigh up things in my head reg. work and life balance. The supermarket i thought was good because it's 5 min down the road, i know a lot of the staff and it's not too hard except for the heavy lifting. the money is good because i am casual but there is no permanency with it. i never know from one week to the other. so that is playing a lot on my mind lately as i am definitely a person that needs stability.

i just don't know???

Hi @BlueBay ... Yes I am a lot better today thanks. Though very tired from lack of sleep last night.

I'm glad to hear that you are still looking for work which may be more suitable for you.

Ohhh Bluebay ... considering study is definitely NOT a silly thought. I say good on you, and I really hope you follow up on that option. Even if nothing actually comes of it, it is still something you may well enjoy. And its good to learn new skills and meet new people. And you just never know what might come of it. If you are genuinely interested in either mental health field or medical reception work ... go for it. Do the courses, and then see where it takes you. I fully get it that you need more stability than what you have currently with a casual job at the bakery.

Talk later

Sherry 🌺😊

Glad you're a bit better @Former-Member still take it easy my friend.
hey @MDT thsnks so much for your kind words. I never know who to tag anymore because I think I'm bothering them.
I'm not sure about the study bit. My problem is I feel thst I'm too old (54) to go to study. And what if I can't do it or cope.
I'm not sure. Just a thought at the moment.
I hope you find something too. Any thoughts on what you might study?
it's so hard. My youngest son 24 finished tri years at uni Bach dip bus management accounting. Graduated last year and still no job. It's really tough out there. Thank god he still has his supermarket job he's had since 15. He's now a duty manager but he prefers to get a job in the field he studied. He's had quite a few good interviews but nothing eventuates. I feel for him because I know he's a good worker.
It's so hard.
