Re: not coping

Glad you could eat a bit of toast hun @outlander and your headache isn't too bad. Hoping it doesn't get worse as the night goes on.

Hoping things don't get harder, but if they do (or don't), am here with you sweetheart 💟

Re: not coping

I saw a biscuit recipe the other day @outlander . I thought of you. It had only 3 ingredients. Banana, coconut and vanilla beans paste. It depends if you like those foods. if a miracle happens, I might try them something.😁😁🍪🍪

I hope you don’t have a bad night. It sure is a constant battle, and you must be feeling weary.💕💕

Re: not coping

That was nice of your client hun.

I am sure you have tried sitting up more in bed, but sleeping sitting up is just hard.

You don't have to thank me hun, I will always be sitting with you @outlander 💌

Re: not coping

yeah one of my friends was talking at the paddock to someone else today and that client overheard (we all just kinda talk there) i told her id do a double here and there to make up for it

its the pressure at all @Snowie even sleeping up, when i have my head physically resting on something it starts to build up the pressure
