not feeling good

Hi @BlueBay

First - it's your birthday - and it's starting out shitty - I had a crappy birthday a month ago - darn

So these restrictions - what can you do about it? Nothing much but acceptable the situation and really it could be worse - you can still exercise for an hour - try and concentrate on that hour and get out of the house - and I know - it feels as if your civil liberties have been taken away and it's unpleasant

But this virus is a killer and it's cleverl - personally I would rather be locked down than have the virus

Try and make the best you can of the situation -- it will pass and make the time work for you and I know you are scared but I don't know why - I'm not happy about it either

So- my only suggestion is to make your birthday treat for yourself - don't wait for someone else too do so - they might and that will be a surprise

All the best

thank you everyone for the lovely birthday wishes @Owlunar @WIP @Faith-and-Hope @Maggie

i will go for a walk this afternoon.

i know that i will be okay during this lockdown. yes it is hard and i know we can't do anything. the good thing is that hubby and myself and my kids all have our jobs and will be ok. we all work in the 'essential sector' so that's good.

i will come back on later on. xxxx

You are very fortunate to have essential jobs @BlueBay , so that will definitely help the lockdown time go faster.

Enjoy your walk & birthday 😊

Good to know @BlueBay

we all work in the 'essential sector' so that's good.--- that is good to know my sister @BlueBay

yes @Dockers6 , all together we can do this , one step at a time with encouragement and support @Owlunar , @WIP , @Faith-and-Hope , @Maggie

I've just come back from seeing the hand therapist. I have osteoarthritis in both wrists and need to wear wrist braces. It's really hard to wear one on each wrist. I don't feel hsppy but it will help with the pain. I also have exercises to do.

Do you know my mum hasn't rung me for my birthday. she used to ring early morning but today nothing.
makes me feel unimportant and not special.

@BlueBay

You are special and important - especially to your Mum. Maybe she thought she'd wait till after your Dr's appt to call you and you'll hear from her this afternoon?

I can imagine it'll be challenging to wear a brace on both wrists, but hopefully it won't take you too long to get used to it and the reduction in pain will kick in soon too.

Enjoy the rest of your day

sittring down looking at both my wrists in braces - i don't know how on earth am i going to be able to work

its very hard to type on a computer

i feel useless

feeling really terrible this afternoon

think i need ann escape - maybe a walk outside

@WIP @MDT @Shaz51 @Owlunar @Faith-and-Hope @Maggie

Well @BlueBay - believe me - you are important and special to us and

I know how it feels because my mother did the same to me -

So - don't give your mother the power - you already know she plays games and thinks whatever she thinks and for her it's her castle and her rules and her game and the best thing you can do is to let her have it

And send her a lovely card for her birthday and pick the words carefully - perhaps she has the best birthday she deserves

And it is sucky of her - small minded - and I hope she gets around to ringing you before the day is out

Many happeries from us
