Re: not coping

@outlander I am ok. Didn't have a great night last night and some flashbacks happening today. Just trying to manage them. Very cold and has not stopped raining here, so Izzy and I are having cuddle time inside!

Sorry to hear you are still so uncomfortable hon.Sounds like everything hurts to do. Are you able to rest today and have some time to yourself?

Re: not coping

Izzy is currently asleep next to me @outlander I don't think she wants to go out into the rain either!

I hope it all goes ok tomorrow hon with the house inspection.

Not doing anything might be boring but probably good for you sweetie. You need some rest with everything you have going on with your health at the moment.

Re: not coping

I dont blame her @Snowie hopefully you can find some things to amuse yourself too

House inspection, pops carer and drs and picking up some car parts and chemsit stuff all in one day. At least while hes out in the morning itll give me the chance to clean the house without him making a mess in the room i just finished 🤦‍♀️

Re: not coping

Have to go pick the kids up from school soon @outlander

That does sound like a busy day tomorrow for you hon. Hopefully with your Pop out it will give you a bit of a break too. I find it easier to clean the house too when no one is around.

Will be back on later 💜

Re: not coping

Its easier to clean without him here @Snowie
Ive done some though. The spare room, and halway are done. Pops rooms basically done, just bed made ans floor vaccumed in morning. Most of washing is done. Decided to do the towels and stuff that can go in the dryer. Still have rest of house to go though but struggling to do it all at once
