Niquas Notes

Niquas Notes

I thought I might try some 'journalling' . Just write a little blurb out each day, basically what I'm already doing . . . just giving it a name . . a title, I suppose? But to give it some 'umph' in my head I'm going to try & remember how to start a new thread & call it 'Niquas Notes' 🙂
It's not even 11.30am & I'm having a tomatoe & onion sandwich for lunch 🙂 I think I've been forgetting to 'get around' to a few meals lately. It's pretty good 🙂
I think I need to go into town today & check the post office, I may have a parcel to collect (evil ebay again!). I might get some meat while I'm in there (probably sausages ;)), I don't think I've had a lot of it lately - though I had Tuna in some fried rice the other night 🙂 Pretty sure I've got a couple of DVDs to collect from the library too 😉 {which means waiting until after 2pm at least as they close from 1-2pm for lunch} Today being Wednesday, it's an off-lead walk day, so I'll take the puppies along & drop into the local Forest on the way back home 🙂 I really enjoy that walk myself, it might be one I've done a million times, but that's sort of part of what I think I really enjoy about it?;)? & of the camp trips, beach walks & places that I have been going to for a little while now - the local 'home' forest walk still gives us the most freedom & me the most confidence 🙂
I think I am recovering from the xmas kerfuffle. I've just polished off a banana, which I would normally have at breakfast, so I've just combined morning & midday meals 😉 & I've got a bottle of water with just a touch of Apple Cider vinegar in it :x I actually quiet like the tang & I do beleive my insides appreciate it 🙂 I've been having quite a few nasty waves of nausea washing over me for a while now.
I need to start 'beating myself up a bit' about the housework! I did get some dishes done before I went away, but there's still a mountain of pots and pans there!! & my mountains of dirty washing are growing death defying peaks!!! I did also get 1/2 the yard mowed, but the other half is overgrown & the 1st 1/2 could do with a trim (00)! & the general clutter continues to compact.
I must look online at what the costs of registering my puppies will be in my council, maybe I can do that while I'm in town? If I got the genny going & started tackling the dirty washing, I could mow my little fella's feet inbetween cycles . . . & then we could go to a favourite 'look-out' spot for a walk 😛 . . . that'd be nice 🙂
Well, by the time I get online, it'll be past Potatoe hour. So I'd better stop blurbing & post 😉
Love to all that need or want it, everything positive gratefully accepted 🙂
❤️

Re: Niquas Notes

I slept in again this morning @Shaz51, it's happened the past couple of mornings as I feel so tired at night, but I go to bed & sleep won't come . . . it does eventuall & I think it's getting better - so I guess that's a long-winded way of saying 'I'm good' 😄

How are you today Shaz, how's the tiredness?

Sending you love & energy

Re: Niquas Notes

It's muggy here @Shaz51 & that's not the norm! I seem to handle higher temps more so than higher humidity. I mean it's a good thing, I've even been getting bits & peices of rain - but BBBLLLAAAHHH it's such a sticky sweat!! & it's going all day & al night! BLAH!

It's raining 🙂 Good steady rain 🙂 My child was telling me their childrens school got shut down yesterday due to the weather, they've had a LOT of rain there & flooding will soon begin. Flooding! Woo Hoo! Hope it gets here {though I know it won't, . . . no harm in hoping ;)}
I would like to join a group of some sort, but then again I'd hate it! Part of the conflict in my mind. I want company, but to start anywhere it's all strangers. An unfortunate side-effect of how my life unfolded is that I'm now at a point where everybody is a stranger.
Sometimes I really wish I had 1 of those phams workers that could take me to places. Oh, but here goes the conflict, . . . I think it would make me feel like a child, a burden, like . . . . I was admitting there was something wrong with me & I don't really believe that, I think this is just me.

I'm thinking of you Mazy, I'm hoping that electro/chemical process has settled for you ❤️ I am jealous of your friends, but I can see positive in that - I wouldn't be jealous if I didn't think so much of you ❤️ Beautiful Claire wrote a piece that made me feel she was as alone as me - it made me cry. I'm also very happy that you have friends - I hope they are good to you.

I haven't been worrying about Potatoe hour much lately. Being gentle on myself? I worry a bit about 'not beating myself up' & 'being gentle' with myself, because then it seems nothing gets done & it can make matters worse. I find that when I do 'beat myself up' a little & get a bit harsh with myself & actually make myself do something - I feel so much better for it.

@Former-Member 💖
i dont have friends. The social group hasnt worked out and have been left with non one. Not an unusual situation for me. Sometimes you have to be your own best friend to get througg the tough times. If i didnt have the forums it dawned on me yesterday that things might be very different now. Alot worse than i am now.

No one wants to be a burden or feel like they are a burden for asking for help. I believe thats why so many struggle alone- they are afraid and thats ok too.


Its raining here alot too and was pretty scary driving on the roads this morning. Lots of deep puddles and with a car pulls you off centre.

Maybe today will be abit productive for you and get what you need to do done. Give yourself a little talking to if that helps....

Re: Niquas Notes

We have friends Claire @outlander 🙂 & it's not just you & me, we have a Forum full of friends 🙂

& when 1 of us is feeling weaker, another will share their strength . . . & if every Fomumite is feeling weaker the moderators will share their strength.

We are the lucky 1's Claire
