Re: not coping

Stomach problems tonight @outlander, I need to sit up or throw up. Other than that, ok

Are you digesting you news from today ? It’s a big one, but hopefully, eventually, it works.

Re: not coping

im sorry your having stomach problems tonight @Maggie i know how yuck it can be. Could you take some paracetamol to help relieve it?

Re: not coping

@outlander I’ve taken something, hoping it settles soonish.

You have big dietary changes ahead. A whole new way of eating. I really hope this eases some of your pain.

Enjoy your shower. I hope you rest/sleep tonight. I’m going under my doona, it’s freezing. We had snow everywhere today. Thick, white beautiful snow. ❄️❄️⛄️⛄️ Everyone is walking around smiling, it’s amazing.

Re: not coping

thanks @Maggie there are lots of changes but im willing to give them ago if itll help. i mean lactose intolerance is life long so ill have to get use to it.

oh snow sounds amazing. pity it didnt snow in christmas so we could have a white christmas here. its about 4 degrees here. i got 5 horses rugged today but will need to do the other 3 tomorrow as its suppose to get colder in the day and raining.

Have you got much on tomorrow?

@Emelia8 so good to see you back

Re: not coping

Nothing on tomorrow @outlander. I’ve had my painting student yesterday and today, so I will clean some tomorrow.

Thats cold. Not sure what it is here atm, but more snow on the way.

Rugging 5 horses would be hard work. Is your pony one of them. I hope that’s not a sore point. If it is, no need to respond.

Re: not coping

if you want to find out how cold it is just type in your city name and then weather
ie 'bankstown weather'
(thats not where i am so will use it as an example) or check out the BOM website and put your postcode in and itll tell you the temp.

my pony is one of them. i have her plus one of our other horses, and then 3 horses im looking after as well. i do love my horse, as hard as it is seeing her with other people she still knows im her owner. she runs from everyone except me lol. @Maggie

ive got the kids tomorrow from lunch time till midnight i think. one kid gets out at lunch time so she can help me rug her horse and the other one we have and probably go to the shops as well.
