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 received a phone call from my child the night before last, it was very awkward; though I think the most of that awkwardness was coming from me. My child it seemed, was back to like nothing had ever happened. I don't think I trust my child anymore, I don't think I believe them. The only person left in my life. The only person I had any trust & belief left in. I do not trust & believe in myself, am I creating this situation in my own mind?

I think doctors have a lot to answer for. Like my nausea, I was told for a decade it was 'in my head' - not in those terms, in very complicated phsycological terms - that I didn't understand. You doctors need to stop showing off, dumb yourselves down & explain things in terms that your patients understand. Even if someone is totally making something up, there is a neuro-biological process involved - explain it!

A person has to be able to trust themself to be able to trust another, they have to be able to beleive in themself before they can believe in another. Now that's all very positive, but I also think; a person has to hate themself to be able to hate another, a person has to fear themself to be able to fear another. I am angry with myself when it concerns my child.

I am angry that I am so twisted in the head that I twisted my childs head & they are now twisting thier childrens heads, & so the cycle continues. We are victims, & like consumers & buisnesses, thier cannot be preditors without vicims. I absolutely beleive the worst thing a preditor can do is leave you alive - that is completely unnatural.

Re: Niquas Notes

hearing you Niqua

hopefully as you adjust more within yourself youll feel less awkward. some things take time to heal from. and no i dont think your nausea is in your head- well not the way some explain it- just coming from mh issues. the gut and brain are often linked together.

i dont think your twisted in the head nor is your child twisted. you both have your differences and thats ok. your child has to learn for themselves too sometimes the hard way. you done the best you can and i truely believe that @Former-Member

Re: Niquas Notes

evening Niqua, hows things at your end? @Former-Member anymore journalling happening?

In response to: Re: Niquas Notes

Re: Niquas Notes

Good Evening Claire @outlander 🙂

Things are ok my end, still not the best, but better. Are you Ok? No haven't any journalling to share. I'm not finding much joy in my walks lately, I just seem to repeat the same ol' same ol', we went to the Weir today, it was nice & full 🙂 Got a couple of DVDs from the next town over, I've realized I travel about 100kms to get them & get home - I'd never really thought about how much fuel I use to get my 3 dvds for $6 each week.

What have you been up to today?

In response to: Re: Niquas Notes

Re: Niquas Notes

good to hear things are better @Former-Member thats a good start

aww i know you use to enjoy your walks, maybe you need a new walking spot? the weir sounds nice to look at though, did you take your pooches with you?

wow thats alot of travelling though i cant talk, i do lots of travelling too, maybe you could borrow a few extra dvds or a book as well?

have you got any hobbies as such you could take up or do to get out of that same ol routine?

i havent really done anything, a few things at home that needed to be done and taking a look into a few things, my uncle was down until lunch time so talked to him abit and the tribe was over for an hr or so and it went ok. but other than that just managing aches and pains

In response to: Re: Niquas Notes

Re: Niquas Notes

I have gone to a couple of different walking spots, they may be different but it feels the same. Yes I took the dogs with me to the weir, I don't go anywhere without them 😉

Sometimes I really hate where I live, mainly it's too hot & it is hours away from anywhere - but then I don't want to be near anywhere really. I would like to get out of the heat, at least it's cooling down at night now.

I'm covered in little tick bites, they're really annoying me, particularly the 1s on my back - I reach them!

There's probably heaps of hobbies I could get into, I'm just not in the right frame of mind.

It might be a good thing that you didn't do much today I hope you enjoyed your chat with your Uncle & having the tribe visit for an hour or so {that's not too long;)}

I think I might go & watch a dvd, I haven't had a phone call & I'm tired of waiting, I suppose if I get it I'll just have to stop the dvd & start it back at the beggining. I bought a new dvd player from Ebay, it doesn't work & I'm battling to get my money back.

Hugs for the aches & pains

Love to you Claire @outlander

Re: Niquas Notes

Hugs 💕 just cause i can.
I am sure they love getting out and even though its a same routine does you some good too instead of being at home.
With autumn here and winter approaching it should get cooler. Its suppose to be a cold winter with nsw already having warnings of a cold snap.

Be careful with tick bites they can makes you quite sick so if you start feeling off try to get to a gp to get them treated properly.
Hobbies sometimes dont need a good frame of mind sometimes they help put you in a better state but thats up to you and whatever youd like to do will still support you anyway.
I hope you enjoy your movie and maybe get ypur phone call.
Still having ebay problems! Not good at all. You might have to contact ebay not the seller so its higher up.
Love and more hugs @Former-Member 💛💛
