Far and Away

Hi @Former-Member .... 😊

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope, how's your adventure going? Is there a particular thread your putting updates? Jetlag takes about a week to settle I'm told, and I'm sure there's son Celtic wisdom to get over your post viral fatigue How's WH coping with his obcessive routines while travelling? A challenge I would think 😕 Hope this is a time yo rekindle some first love maybe.
Any good churches to visit there? Did you go this morning? Love ancient architecture and history. Churches are great for it. Hugz xox

Hadn't thought to start a new thread ....

In transit again today and have to go again now .... found a brief moment with wifi .... will catch you later and answer the above.

Hi to everyone else .... 👋🏽💗💕

Re: Far and Away

Ex moving out is good @Faith-and-Hope

Exciting positive news.

Too painful to regularly see someone who rejected (& manipulated) us.

I've not seen my ex in 10 years.

We separated just over 10 years ago.

I've not tackled divorce yet- need to do that, even though expensive & overwhelming.

Need to ensure that anything I have goes to my neice & nephews (if I still don't have children) - not to my ex, when I'm gone.

Rainbow picture is lovely @Zoe7

Yes being a brown rock means having firm boundaries - I understand.

It's sad to have to be so firm (brown rock) - definitely necessary to protect yourself, & to avoid further hurt & manipulation.

I prefer Zoe's Rainbow- but yes I have to be a brown rock too sometimes.

Re: Far and Away

Our @Faith-and-Hope is definitely a ranbow to us @Adge 🌈

Isn't always the way @Adge need money to get divorced even if you haven't seen someone for 10 years - should be automatic at some stage hey.

Re: Far and Away

Cooler today @Zoe7 Yet the prolonged heat seems to have an accumulated effect.

Still feel overheated & extra tired for days after.

Having extra trouble managing the heat this Summer- maybe it's as I get older.

Friday's heat made me nauseous & sick all day.

Glad it's cooler now.

Re: Far and Away

Glad it is cooler for you now too @Adge and @Sans911 You guys have had one hot summer this year ...so many days above 35 and that is hard to handle . We got to 38 here today but I was inside either in the car with air con on or in the house. Didn't need air con on in the house though as it keeps quite cool. Only going to be 22 tomorrow - might have to put a jumper on lol

Re: Far and Away

Only by my gp @Zoe7 but she's pretty thorough and says it quite likely. I have more blood tests in a few weeks to rule out any other causes. Then she'll refer me to a rheumatologist. A pain & arthritis specialist.

Today wasn't a good day. I struggled to wake up when I needed to. And felt like I was dragging my feet all day. Quite achey when walking.

I had to take my car to be fixed, and there is a shopping centre very close.

Today I walked around for a few hours. Stopped for a coffee & breakfast, then met my mother and uncle a while later. For the first time I actually called my mechanic to come get me. I just didn't feel up to the walk back. Even though it was nowhere near as hot as last week.

Re: Far and Away

I know that feeling very well @Sans911 Could not walk more than a few metres for a couple of years without my legs turning to jelly. I still have difficulties walking long distances - and up stairs My post viral fatigue turned into chronic fatigue and combined with my mental health issues I was pretty much cactus for years - so I really do get it Hon. I know I will probably have to live with it all my life but it has been pretty much managed for the last couple of years. The headaches are often the worst for me but weakness and aching legs and arms happen quite often.
