Tabaluga's 2.0

Hello @TAB I'm still here. Have been facing other health challenges and keeping a low profile. Have not been on the computer much. How has your holiday been?

Hi @SmilingGecko yes, self-care is important.

Holiday was okay. Guess brother and I getting stuck in our ways,plus it was like I was the guest as he paid for accom.later I paid for other stuff,but not equivalent. wellhe earns 10x what I do and has 20x assets guess, but yeah

not easy when spend so much time on own (me) then if someone gets a bit narcy I dont know how to react as not around people most of time and not had to deal with that stuff for years. having an ego would help as well lol

smoothed over quickly. maybe he can come here again next time. its official his wife will not allow me to go to their place when she is there. (feeling's mutual)

cat missed me badly think. (post de-sexing) normally he would have been out and about and prob come home days after I got back

I made vet appt as worried cat was sick.pretty sure he's not.will cancel it. he's just clingy and talks more than usual. he's getting over it, disappears for few hours at a time now

@StuF hey StuF, hope your cold completely disappears.

@TAB hey tabby, tomatoes sound good. Not gone to church. Just hiding at home. Ha

..okay tis wat tis re cold guess @StuF ah tv,naps , phps BBL later if on again had bread and eggs w tomatoes yum Started frying them , then dropped some water inand put lid on. so poached top and fried bottom ,ha ha.

too lazy to get sunday paper (tv guide) but pay murdoch like $6 for 100pges ads and op ed RW drivel,well , to get tv guide. maybe I could go to library and steal it ha ha

gut cramps a while ago,seems to have gone awayfor now

oh, gym tomoz as said ,bit anxious .going to not overdo it ha ha

thinklast there month ago today, but eg first time touched toes(tried to) in months today and hurt back ha ha not done any walking etc etc oh well

also have to ring DVA re psych who says funding run out. Iwant it in writing re their opinon of me having PTSD and ADHD (well brother said to make sure get onto it after told him)

..been doing a bit of hiding lately @Meowmy ?are things okay enough ?

would put Homer not going to church clip up but too lazy lol

@TAB Yes had a bit of a health setback but am getting on top of it. Have to be more vigilant. Sorry to hear that your hols required a bit of adjustment. I guess I am the same. I dont go out much. Maybe he can visit you at your place next time. Its nice that you still have contact on some level and that your brother cares about you. In-laws can be a bit of a problem but probably for the best and the feeling is mutual. Shame though it had to happen. She sounds like a monster of a woman anyway. You dont need her in your life. I guess thats the way life is. I'm back on my muscle building journey. Got to get the we!ght down. If I build muscle mass my metabolic rate should increase again. These meds turn my muscle to jelly! lol

Thanks @Meowmy

I hope hiding works...sometimes we need to

Hey @TAB

Good luck with the paper/tv guide lol

Hope gym goes well - make sure you don't let them push you too hard

Good idea re psych

well hope your health improves @SmilingGecko

bro was very generous and mostly understanding.

anyway hols gave me reason to reflect afterwards.

All okay. highlights was his smile meeting me and in morning saying hello

yeah done with his wife. only reason brought it up was because it was finally stated explicitly re her views on me, not just suspected

@TAB I used to have The Age subscription for years. Much prefer reading it online through the local library. Its free and you can access it in the comfort of your own home. You just have to click on articles to enlarge them, its a bit fiddly but its just as good as having an Age subscription. The library has been on holidays and my library card was due for re-issue so have to go back when they re-open and get new card otherwise the library portal wont open. The Age was not online at the librarys website anyway during the holidays. When I spoke to the person from The Age to cancel my subscription you could tell their revenues were drying up. They are trying so hard to keep people in. The library access is restricted to a certain number of people per hour but going by my experience I dont think many people use the free Age upload at all.
