Re: not coping

yes my private health insurance gets such a workout sometimes too @Snowie

i just need to try and keep my stamina for standing, walking up and down stairs and wearing high heels the most. the heels are what concern me. i just need to be able to wear them for a couple of hours and then ill be taking them off.

Re: not coping

High heels can be a problem @outlander I rarely wear them too. They are hard to walk in and that is with me, so I can imagine for yourself that it would be ten times worse.

Re: not coping

I can understand not wanting to go @outlander I hate big events too. Too many people and all the small talk you have to do, with a fake smile plastered on your face.

It will be good when it is over hon, at least it is one less thing you have to go too.

Re: not coping

I got home about 1030 and went straight to bed @Snowie I forget how tiring life can get sometimes hey!

I’m off to an appointment this morning that’s abit more uncomfortable and invasive. Pop has to come along but I found a magazine he can sit and read in the waiting room while I go get it done.

Do you have any plans for today? Did you manage to get on top all of all the never ending holiday washing?
