Re: not coping

i really hope so @Snowie if this works out well i hope to be able to implement it during flare cycles. it would save so many pointless hospital visits and extra drs appts if i could get this as an ongoing thing. i can still shower and work as normal- still have to be mindful not to pull it out but still manageable!

what have you been up to?

Re: not coping

Less trips to the er and doctors would be helpful @outlander If you can manage it yourself then that has to be better then relying on others.

Haven't been up to much today. Dog's been keeping me company.

Re: not coping

No plans for tomorrow @outlander Really need to change the sheets on the kids beds, so might try and do that tomorrow. Meant to have psych tomorrow but changed to Wednesday.

Sounds like a good plan hon. I really hope it works for you.

Re: not coping

can your kids not take the sheets off and remake their own beds? @Snowie

Re: not coping

They do change their bedding when I tell them to do @outlander They are actually good at making their own beds too, I don't have to remind them.

They are back at school as of today so will just do it myself.

Re: not coping

that sounds nice @Snowie

its going to be hot here so probably not much. ill be working in the arvo though. ive been enjoying having a lay in. ive been pretty tired esp since i only got home early this morning and havent really had a chance to sleep before the day started.

Re: not coping

Won't be hot here so probably a nice day for it @outlander

Hopefully you can get a lay in in the morning hon. Does make a difference when we get a good nights sleep.
