Night Shift

Hi @Mazarita 😊

.... if you're still around ....

I have woken early this morning.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope, haven't been back to sleep yet. Are you still around? What's on for today? I'm hoping to get myself off to have a hair cut (first one in maybe a year).

Hi @Mazarita 😊💐

I need to take D3 to the doctor today .... she has been nursing - dare I say fostering ? - a cold since the middle of last week in the lead-up to school starting on Wednesday .... clearly doesn't want to be back at school this week and is trying to present this cold as an escape. It's her last term of high school, and she doesn't want to not graduate .... so something's got to give.

Taking her to the doctor is the way to remove myself deform that decision before she hpcan turn it into a full-on power-play ....

Baby-dragon politics ..... grrrrr !!

Other than that, I will be seeking a foot massage

D1 mentioned yesterday that WH is coming home tomorrow ..... first I have heard of it. Up yet to see if it's

true ...

The new round begins ....

Need to get my butt into gear to finish the arrangements for S2's 21st. Feeling entirely unmotivated .... but don't want him to miss this rite of passage that his older siblings have all received .... think some sort of self-bribery is in order ...

😏

Your hair must be getting quite long ?

Another busy one for you then, @Faith-and-Hope. Foot massage sounds like a great form of self-bribery. I got a little neck and shoulder massage yesterday while I was in the shopping centre where the specialist's office was. He told me I should do it regularly as my neck is like a rock. Not surprising with the amount of computer keyboarding I have done since 1981. I would love to get massages all the time, cost is the consideration. But it was lovely to get a one-off treat yesterday. Yes, hair is unfashionably long for someone of my advancing years.

Well my hair is rebelliously unfshionably long for my advancing years ... 😆

I am trying to invest in massages for myself whenever possible. My neck ends up like a rock quite often, and it is something I can do in our frustrating situation. The self-care is a necessary survival tool ....

Getting a haircut is good too ... and if they wash you hair first you get a bit of a head massage in that moment ....

Good morning everyone

Day off today and I am already in a bad mood. So much to do but no energy to do it. Must pick myself up and do some stuff. Maybe I will go for a walk with Jersey around the block. If she lets me; most times she will not move an inch if I take her alone; but if hubby comes she will walk!!! See how we go.

Hope everyone has a good day and a peaceful one 🙂

Woops, almost missed that last message without the tag. I only get notified when someone tags me, otherwise I get overwhelmed by messages in my inbox. Changed my settings back before I went away. Yes, I think it's a great idea to get massages if and whenever you can, @Faith-and-Hope. I may squirrel away some funds for that too in future. It was the doctor who noticed my neck BTW, not the massage therapist. I could also really use massage on the lower legs too as they are extremely tight as well. Have had to stop the anti-inflammatory I was taking because there were unacceptable side effects happening from it (that the posting system won't let me describe). So back to square one with the walking problems really. Body is not treating me that great at the moment. But at least mood is travelling along mostly okay just now. Makes a huge difference when that is on board. Seem to be able to handle the physical stuff so much better. 🙂

Hi @BlueBay, hope you can get out for that walk and that the day improves for you as it goes along. 🙂

Thanks @BlueBay 🌷

I hope Jersy will co-operate with you .... I heard dogs like fish .... we used to hold a small piece of fish in our hand to get some co-operation from our German Shepherd when he was going nuts with energy and his ears weren't working .... made a big difference.

Tinned tuna ap was good, but you might be able to get some dried white-bait or something that's easier to handle, or more simple doggie treats if she will respond to those.

Hey everyone, feeling a bit better, my marriage is over because there is no Respect from him, I'm just not in my right mind according to him whenever I make a decision big or small it's wrong. He does not show any affection for me or come near me at all. Sorry, i was so emotional last night took my meds and went to bed.

Whoops, forgot to tag you in the previous one @Mazarita ...

Glad you are feeling more on-board mood-wise.

Have been thinking of you.

🌷💜
