Re: rough time

typical boy thing I think @Snowie
at least that's one thing less to do though. about a month ago when I was redecorating my room I done a huge cleanout of clothes shoes and donated some of my new bedding (cause I got a whole new size bed) to charities and donated heaps of old pillowcases and sheets to the rspca and some of the wildlife foundations that were making pouches for animals during the fires.

thanks @Owlunar
I get severe allergies as well which then turns into asthma and asthma attacks if its bad enough so during spring I usually have an inhaler just in case but usually its managed by anti-histamines as well.

Hi again @outlander

My day is okay - now it's Monday I feel I am in a better routine even though I am isolating myself because of my age - heh heh

I did a flier for my movie-buddy who has lost her kitten - I left them in my letter box so she can pick them up - she can hand them around to her neighbours and I hope she finds her kitten

I have an appointment with the nurse and the doctor at my clinic to have my in-grown toe-nail looked at and get a plan to see the podiatrist tomorrow. I have to get this attended to before the virus takes over more of society because my toe-nail keeps growing of course and you know what they say - nothing hurts like a sore toe,

Well - I am sure things do. I have been taking anitbiotics for about a months and I am tired of feeling nausea from them and know exactly what that is because it happens everytime I take them - and things can be worse

But my day is okay

I'm glad you have all that stuff for your Pop - okay - yes - I had stuff like that stored away for my kids but I was bigger than them - and they could argue back but I was still the boss of them. I know it's a challenge

All the best again and I had better soak my toe again before going out

Re: rough time

oh kittens are so much fun aren't they, my next door neighbours have a kitten and they love to play. she managed to escape last night and found it to be a big game. had like 10 of us trying to catch her between 3 yards or guarding so she wouldn't run any further then our yard or the road. it turned into a game for her cause she could hide under our horse float or the cars, she run up get a quick pat then run again 🤦‍♀️

try taking the antibiotics with food, if I don't take it with milk or something then I feel quite sick.
I hope your toe heals though, ingrown nails are so painful! @Owlunar
also I wondered if you have tried tea tree oil? I had an infection on my nail a while ago and I used tea tree oil and it cleared up within a week, my nan use to use it all the time for her nail infections (she was prone to them from her illnesses) only cost about $6 in coles and can be found where like pain relief meds are, you just put some on a cotton bud and rub it onto your nail and surrounds.

Re: rough time

What are you studying this time @outlander ?

I am always interested in what people are studying - lately I am been having a look at the History of the Royal Family - Queen Victoria had 9 children - I can't quite imagine what that would be like

Anyway - toe-nails - I can thank my father - he had the same problem with the same toe - the nail grows up at an angle and grandually embeds itself in the flesh - I have tried all sorts of things and tea-tree oil is quite possibly one of them. I have been soakig it in salt water and that helps - the infection has cleared up at lot because I have been walking around the house with bare feet most of the weekend so there has been less pressure on it - and using an antiseptic ointment - the only thing I can really get done is to have the podiatrist clip the nail in deep to take the pressure off and then when the world settles down have the nail taken out from the base - at lease a third of it - this will be the third time - sheesh - this I could live without

And I agree home cures are good but alas - they are not getting into the infection - that is deep in the nail bed but it feels better after soaking it in salty water

I take my medication - whatever it is - with food or and Up and Go - it's better that way - gotta ring a taxi - time to brave the world with a scarf around my face
