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

Maybe the mods are busy Claire, the 1st 1 still hasn't come through yet - but then again I think my internet might be running slowly. Guess it's just going to build up the excitement for me @outlander 😄

How are going today? Have you managed any rest? Are you still a water-logged cucumber? Nag, nag, nag 😄

In response to: Re: Niquas Notes

Re: Niquas Notes

hmm maybe i should find some more pics to keep building the suspense for you? @Former-Member

no i havent rested as yet, had to go to work in the mud then babysit for a little bit and now at home cooking dinner and waiting for married at first sight to come on. no im not a water logged cuccumber i probably should be but the colder days i dont drink as much.

how are you going now?

In response to: Re: Niquas Notes

Re: Niquas Notes

HaHa Claire I might burst if you put too many in 😄 😄

I'm sad you haven't been able to rest, working in the mud & baby sitting certainly doesn't sound very restful! Maybe during 'married at first sight' you can put your feet up, cuddle some pillows & at least rest you body?

I guess in cooler weather you don't need as much water [wait . . . . what . . . COOLER WEATHER!!! - I'm coming to your place!!!!!]

I'm going Ok today, still not feeling the best, but I would say the nausea is relieving & the cramps aren't really cramps anymore, more just a discomfort in my lower abdomine. I still have to fight myself to have something, then it feels like I have to fight my mouth & throat to get it down . . . but I'll fight! & I'm not going to lie & say it's because I want to live - it's because I'm a wuss, I have an idea how much this will hurt if I don't.

Talking about food, there a certain young fella trying to climb into my recliner with me! I think he's trying to remind me that he doesn't have any gut, stomach, hunger problems . . . & it tea time!! 😄 😄

Maybe the pics will be ready when I get back? 😉

Love you Claire

Re: Niquas Notes

See it wasnt that long a wait NN! And they are always yellow or orange or both they are your favourite colours of course. You have your own planet you know..

sitting yes but really restless and my chest hurts so its all happening. So chatting on here it is and watching MaFS. Sometimes the shows gets too much and turn it off. Yeh we just finished sweating through 40 deg heats and have rain for the last 2 and bit days. Suppose to rain again tomorrow and then clearing up and suppose to be hotter again by the weekend again so lapping it up while I can!

Have you tried ginger for nausea? Or peppermint? Apparently they help...

and try having a smoothie or something liquidy so its easier to have. Or soups... they just kinda go down easily.

Little fella seems like hes always hungry- think thats a younger dog thing same as cats lol.

Love you too

Re: Niquas Notes

Oh Claire @outlander, Thank you for reminding me . . . Ginger!!! I buy a root & make tea from it . . .& it really helps! I know what I'll be getting from the shops tomorrow! I haven't heard of the peppermint & it's not the sort of thing that will be in my local shop - but they should have a bit of ginger 🙂

Your a genius girl!

I think a bit of an update with the Evil Ebay battle might be in order. I believe I was almost deliberately confused into purchasing a battery that I truly thought was a 2 for 1 deal. It wasn't, just the 1 - I immediately contacted the seller who responded with 'the item has already been sent' - that's either the MOST efficient seller I've ever dealt with . . . or a con man! Ebay didn't seem to want to support either of us, their solution is for me to return it & Ebay will refund me. Then there was the kerfuffle over a PDF attachment Ebay was supposed to send me {a return ticket for postage} - there was no attachment, & it seemed the more I tried to tell them - the more loudly they ignored me! Eventually I got through, that even though I was extremely unhappy & down right angry at the experience of the transaction; I WOULD return it . . . I NEED the attachment re-sent! Well I finally have the return PDF and now have to go through quite the rigmarole to return it! NOT HAPPY JAN!
___________________________________________________________

Well, printing out that PDF ended up being a bit of a kerfuffle, my local PO didn't print them out as Ebay had said they would, neither could the local news agent, I eventually got it printed at the library. Went back to the PO, stuck it to the My Dog food box I'd put it in & sent it - I'd better get my bloody money back now because I no longer have the item!

Re: Niquas Notes

Hey Niqua, I'm back from wandering around this suburb and the next, on foot and by bus, getting to and from appointments and doing various little errands. I now have a smooth chin and neatly trimmed hair. Already did the chemist dye job about a week ago. And I had a shower this morning. How glamorous I feel, even sitting here in my old hippy dress, without makeup (almost never wear it).

So EEbay has been giving you the run around. I hate returning items. Usually I will wear the expense, just to avoid having to go to the post office and muck around with the packaging etc. Aside from that, the post office is a decent bus ride, they only go every half hour, and the round trip usually takes more than an hour. We buy from EEbay because we don't want to go to the shops! In other words, I get how annoying returning your item would be! Big grrrrrrr, on your behalf.

Great to hear your rubber duckie is getting regularly cleaned at the moment. There's one for the books, both of us squeaky clean at the same time!

You are right about the money issue. I would like to own a little place of my own. I don't know how likely that ever is really, but never give up hope.

Your gut being almost all better is some of the best news I've heard lately. I was worried about you.

I've never had my chin waxed before. It didn't hurt too much while it was happening, but stung afterwards. And even hours later my skin hasn't quite settled down, still a bit stinging. That's what I get for being sensitive, in mind and skin. The young woman who did it was very nice and came from a country place near where I was born (also country). The hairdresser (at a different place) was very sweet too. The only thing I am not that fond of is looking at myself in the mirror while having hair cut. I mean, it's like you have to meditate on your face. Of course I notice everything wrong looking about it.

But enough vanity! There's still a lot to be done, even more tomorrow than yesterday and today. For now I'm too buggered from all the walking to do much. Hence a long rave here in your notes thread.

Sending hugs and more hugs! @Former-Member
