Re: not coping

Glad it is slowing a bit @outlander Hopefully crazy made it go fast!

Enjoy your time for yourself before your Pop comes home. I hope it has been helpful for you. You certainly deserved that time out too.

Re: not coping

the weather is so nice here at the moment @Snowie im feeling pretty tired though and i still have to do the horses so ill see how i feel about walking later i think. my energy levels of an arvo are really struggling alot and its getting worse which my cardiologist thinks it could be part of the medical diagnosis that hes investigating. it would explain my heart symptoms, fatigue, bp issues, vison and headaches. so it might actually make sense if i do have this rather then being told its my anxiety. ill find out in a fortnight when ive had the couple if tests hes ordered across the next week

Re: not coping

Hopefully you get some answers for the fatigue @outlander It would be good to know what it actually is. Can be very frustrating when we know something is wrong but don't know what it is.

Re: not coping

As much as I don’t want another more serious life long condition it might actually explain things. @Snowie will find out soon enough I guess. It’s going pretty quickly between both jobs now, and study and walking. It’s already been nearly a week since I seen the new cardiologist!

What are you up to today?

I took clients out and about today so the shift is going abit faster and finish within the next hour.

Re: not coping

Not a bad place to be @Snowie

I’ll prob watch Netflix abit later or stan. I was thinking on getting bing-e as well apparently they have a lot of good shows on there too.

No not long to go. I do love Sunday rates though but I’d rather the morning shifts on a weekend if I can get them

Re: not coping

@outlander we have foxtel and netflix which seems ok. There are lots of movies I want to see that are not on them however. I did hear that Stan is quite good. Might have to look into it myself.

Not long to go for you now.
