Tabaluga's

Good to hear that your having a good night's sleep 😴 Yipee!!

I'm still not functioning properly so am a bit p'd off about that

Well I'm showered and dressed now so it's iced coffee and a naughty cigarette 🚬 for me

Now that's a habit I really should give up....

Anyway I don't know if was you who pointed to the CHANI site but on checking it today I am encouraged to address my family concerns in a calm and balanced way

Take care of you, Taali 💙💙

Oo I love deliveries haha!

Hopefully they’ll be able to assist you with everything you need

Haha I bet! Do you often wake up that early?

I’m going to make a parmesan chicken rice dish tonight. It’s my first time making it, so wish me luck! I’ll be making it for my partner and brother. I love cooking and trying out new recipes

It’s so easy to get comfy on the couch and stay there all day! Maybe try even just standing up, having a little stretch or moving around when you can 😊

Thanks @Taali, you too! 💛

Dinner sounds great 👍

Your partner and brother are very lucky. @Nala2022

I used to enjoy cooking before I went into self isolation 🫥

Although I never enjoyed the washing up!!!! I'm really quite lazy. Also it's not so much fun when you're cooking for one

I'll try to make a list for the Aged Care assessment folk.

Yes I've started getting to my feet for a stretch

I've got an exercise bike so should probably just hop on to that 🤪

Hey, back to the cooking, I tried new recipes a lot but didn't stick to them very well. Tended to add a bit of extra spice .

Enjoy your day, Taali 💙

Yes they are pretty lucky 😉😂

It can definitely be hard to get back into it. Sometimes starting with small, easy meals or some favourite foods you enjoy can help you get back into the swing of things

I dislike the washing up too! Before you know it, you’ve eaten the food and then have to clean everything up. I’ve started trying to clean as I go while the food is cooking, which definitely helps with having less dishes afterwards haha

That’s a good idea with the list. Hopefully they’ll be able to help with everything you mention

Even if you only hop on the exercise bike for a few minutes a day, it’s still something! 😊

I love spice too! Do you like things really spicy?

Thank you @Taali, I hope you enjoy your day too!💛

Yes I do like a bit of spice @Nala2022

particularly since my surgery which resulted in a diminished sense of taste.

Possibly due to medications.

Speaking of which im taking heaps to help me with my sleep

To no avail. So it's hard to get to sleep and a wake frequently.

I have a really sore neck as I have been twisted up on my couch for so long. Oh well, I'll stop whinging now...

I tried to post a clip that was sent to me that made me think of The Never Ending Story which reminded me of our mental health journeys.

This will have to do:

Good Morning @Meowmy @TAB

Avagoodone

Hiya @Taali @SmilingGecko and all

Hoping for good Tuesdays!

@Taali sorry but I've asked not to be included in your big tag clouds on threads I don't use.... umless you'd like a personal response. This was the 6th time you've tagged me today.

I add spice to almost everything! 😂

Oh no, that’s not good. I guess adding lots of flavour to your food is especially important so you can still enjoy and taste it as much as possible

I’m sorry to hear your sleep still isn’t the best, especially when you’re taking medication to try and help with it. Have you had a chance to chat with your doctor about how things are going with your sleep and whether anything needs reviewing?

Ouch! That sounds really uncomfortable. Maybe a heat or cold pack might give it a bit of relief?

It really does feel like our mental health journeys can be a bit like a 'never ending story'

Take gentle care of yourself @Taali 💛

SORRY 😞
