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
The chocolate is sugar free , low fat, diabetic friendly 😉
but hey; I’ve given up alcohol
my kidults are great support but both working and in relationships....
they have certainly done their fair share supporting me when I’m crappy.
are you still travelling.

Re: Twisted -self care
Awww that doesn't sound like good chocolate to me 😆 but I hope it was good for you @Catcakes!
You're awesome with the alcohol giving up. I've known a few people who have really, really struggled with that one.
It's good to hear the kidults are supportive, though it seems like you're all a bit stretched.
We're not away away anymore, but not home yet either. Kids are really tired tonight and so am I. Too early for bed unless I want to be up before tomorrow though.

Re: Twisted -self care
Thanks so much @CheerBear,
My 3 mthly blood test result was awesome too.
I can thank my blind , amputee father for the incentive.
I feel my family have had to put up with a lot due to my MI,
It wouldn’t be fair to neglect my physical health to the point of disability.
Diabetes is a rotten progressive illness.

Re: Twisted -self care
So great to hear you're looking after yourself @Catcakes. Far out with your dad 🙁 I can see how that would be an incentive. I don't know much about diabetes but from the little I do know I understand it's a horrible illness and it makes it extra important to watch physical health too. Not an easy thing to do sometimes. Big go you 💪👍

Re: Twisted -self care
My day was long @CheerBear thanks for asking.
I was with Mum from 9 til 6.
All aspects of caring, got lots of knitting done while she slept. Emotionally exhausted tonight.
