Hi @Former-Member @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope @Appleblossom
Yes - I am getting my hair cut this afternoon and I love having a shampoo done by someone else - with their fingers getting into my scalp - and no yet on the computer - yesterday was sunny and wonderful - and I spent the day catching up on tasks - and then in the afternoon the weather turned cloudy and the barometric pressure changed suddenly - I had a weird feeling of discomfort that comes with barometric changes - very uneasy - so I only went as far as the shops and felt intensely annoyed when the person ahead of me in a queue held up everyone else asking a long list of questions of the pharmacist - I decided - not today and went home and went to sleep - not programmed in but necessary
And I still have to organise a globe in my kitchen - I never think of it during the day and of course - at night I need it - darn - I have to get the handyman in for that - falling backwards off a chair is not required
What ever people call their periods I do have a suggestion I offer young women and they are surprised but you can try this - it might work for you but can't hurt
When I was a teenager I worked in a company that had a nurse and she had a little room off her office with three small beds in it - and there would be a parade of girls going their and having a mixture containing ginger - and it seemed to help - along with lying down with hot water bottles on our tummies and under our feet - except for a few years when I ran 28 days to Thursday afternoons on the dot I got onto a bad place where nothing helped and I had a hysterectomy - so after all these years I forget until a younger woman tells me she has her period - and I remember
It doesn't last forever girls - but haven't we all had those moments when we are so glad to see it!!!
What else - having work done in our domain - I will have to have this place painted soon - of course as it's Government Housing it will be in their time - but I don't like the thought of paint fumes at all - so I am not in a hurry - I had carpet put down in the lounge last year - and moving everything out of the lounge except the heavy things took ages - I have a large wall unit full of treasures and the cupboards are full of books and there are collections and crystal and DVDs and nothing in here is not something useful or keep sakes - but moving it into another room took me late into the night - and then these men turned up early and did the job quickly I have to say - and I took my time putting it all back -
I don't hoard but I am looking forward to the hard rubbish collection - I always ditch stuff then - I don't have a very large place here - 3.5 rooms - big enough for me though
What else - babies that don't sleep - okay - that's a toughie - dd was an easy and sociable baby - but wanted to see everything that happened. I would move the bassinet around the house as I worked - esp in the kitchen - but with such a baby we all have to grab sleep when we can - it depends on the baby of course - babies who cry when they are awake - I have that with my son - that is hard work - but then he would sleep for hours from exhaustion after all that crying -
But what do you do???? I can hear that all these years later - I don't know - I would put both my kids on the pram and walk for miles around here - I know every short cut and every hill - I wore the tyres off the pram - I was so fit - wow
I don't know what to do with babies who cry when they have been fed and enterained and there is nothing else they need - except put them in the pram and walk and walk and walk - even if it just around the house in bad weather - this must be a universal and long term problem
I'm raving - time to stop - back to my own this-day salt mine
