Twisted -self care

Twisted -self care

Every morning I drive east into the sun.
At traffic lights I put sunscreen on the backs of my hands.
This morning I realised that this is self care,
Very rare for me.
I need to do more of this....

Re: Twisted -self care

D3 and I drove into the city yesterday cos she said she couldn’t cope with people and trams @Catcakes ...... I spent too much time noticing the trees and got caught in hook-turn lanes and at one stage, in the middle of an intersection when the traffic suddenly stopped moving and the light soon turned red ...... right on tram tracks with a tram coming ..... so I moved into a bus lane and sat there with hazard lights on till the traffic moved again, and a very nice taxi driver let me change into proper lanes again ......

One thing I have noticed is that the drivers around here are much more forgiving than in our other Aussie city ....., reminds me of where we go and stay overseas. While the drivers there (overseas location) have a bad reputation, they are giving and forgiving in a way that allows everyone to get where they need to go.

Re: Twisted -self care

Do you feel like you are getting some answers with your partner’s treatment @Catcakes ?

Re: Twisted -self care

We’ll know in a couple of weeks. CT and x rays this arvo then to see knee surgeon for possible surgery on both knees.😖
D2 had lots of bloods taken this morning.
Dr for me late this arvo.
Missed out on my tram ride through the city as partner was blindsided by the news and we’ve come home.

Re: Twisted -self care

How are you feeling @Catcakes ? Guessing you had pencilled it in as a possibility ?

Good that D2 has been proactive .....

Hope your apt goes well.

Re: Twisted -self care

Glad to hear the locals are being kind @Faith-and-Hope.
I seem to witness road rage daily on my travels.

Re: Twisted -self care

So much medical stuff on your plate. @Catcakes

You must be beyond exhausted.

In response to: Twisted -self care

Re: Twisted -self care

Yes @Appleblossom, @Faith-and-Hope
I am exhausted. Apart from the coughing from this cold, I find the run aroun from home to hospital to Drs bloody frustrating.
Still, we are getting there. I have to remind myself that some have it worse and my partner’s condition, while life altering, is not life threatening.

Re: Twisted -self care

I have been in the car with a road rager 😔 ..... sorry to hear there are some locals not being kind to you @Catcakes ......

That perspective does help ...:,:

Hugs. Hope the cold is on the decline now.


Hi @Appleblossom .... 👋

Re: Twisted -self care

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope for keeping me sane this morning.
How are you feeling with your own situation?
I can’t imagine you’re looking forward to a Mr vs S2 showdown 😞

In response to: Twisted -self care

Re: Twisted -self care

Back home and no showdown has occurred apparently ...... both S2 and Mr are sleeping.
