@GezzaP you havent been well so cut yourself some slack regarding lunch! Its good to always be flexible. I aim to be as much as possible as we cant always live up to high self expectations all the time. I've just had some cauliflower alfredo. I put things away in the kitchen and am now resting. Like you I've been tired today so not placing demands on myself. I've learned how to pace myself over the years on these heavy meds which slow us down. My water filter cartridges arrived today and I've put them in storage. I'm trying to extend the life of my current ones by scouring the biofilm off it. I dont know how many extra months if any I will get out of the current filters. Hoping to save some money. Thats really good with cigarettes considering you havent been well. That double dose of medication seemed to do the trick with your sleep which is good! Just doing some spiritual practice which I neglected to do this morning. Your friend sounds like he is in deep psychosis. Usually when people cant listen or have poor attention is due to them being really ill. I think because he is unreliable bears weight to this idea. I really think he is not well. His mind is elsewhere GezzaP

@TAB hey tabby, nearly done work. Clinic providing lunch today Hope you're okay. Take care.

You must have almost finished work by now @Meowmy .

I’m ok mentally, except my back hurts. Just took some pain meds. Contemplating a drink here. Might have a hydralyte I think. Massaging neck. Hanging out for proper massage tomorrow morning. My favourite masseus has been going through a marriage break up I think and isn’t available it seems. I can’t get hold of her. Hope your work was ok and you can relax afterwards or do something nice.

@GezzaP hey Gezza, having a good release in room at home. Thanks for the well wishes

Thanks for advice re freezer @TAB . Will do that after hydralyte and listen to radio program if can stay awake. i have wooden floors so need to put lots of towels down to soak up the moisture. Can’t get one drawer open it’s so bad ha ha. Got too much in that drawer thanks to helper and freezer gets bad build up of ice. Can I put boiling water in anyway? Drawer has frozen veggies and chips in it. No meat in that drawer, Can’t get out. Helper did it once, but didn’t put boiling water in it. He chipped ice off. Looked like hard work to me. Could use ice cubes to keep meat frozen rather than go to buy bag of ice. Just too tired to drive and get ice. My back would get worse if I lugged a bag of ice around. Really tired today even though slept for almost 7 hours. Will try to muster energy to do it or leave until after a nap or tomorrow or next day lol.

@TAB He collects spoons and LPe and lots of other stuff. He takes metal and bottles/cans to recycling for extra money. I don’t mind him doing that. Just wish he would bring ute and trailer to clean up a bit. I got annoyed at him and asked him to take his stuff. But I don’t insist because I’ve got room under my unit. My house is on a slope hence the 3 rooms underneath. Front room has concrete floors and galvanised ceiling.

Yes good re not smoking for me @SmilingGecko . Had lunch and did the dishes. Need to do physio exercises again. Having a hydralyte thirsty. Then if can get motivated I’ll defrost 1/2 size freezer if I’ve got lots of ice cubes to keep meat frozen. Too tired to go get bag of ice..Maybe I’ll have a nap first.

@GezzaP I defrosted my freezer earlier on this year. I am so glad I did a freezer audit!

pour boiling water on it @GezzaP , nothing sharp just plastic spatula and lever it off once loose enough , comes out easy once water between wall and ice
