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 🙂
❤️

Good Morning Claire @outlander, Mazy @Mazarita and everyone passing by 🙂

I took my dreads off last night.

I didn't tell you I got a bucket of knickers done that day!

I got the mower going yesterday & got just a little around the house done 🙂

Thank you for tagging me so I can 'keep up' with where your medical struggles are at, I hope this new doctor can find a solution & make your life better

Love to you Claire

Re: Niquas Notes

& look at you go Claire, did I read that you've gotten a little sleep @outlander?

In response to: Niquas Notes

Re: Niquas Notes

I did get some sleep @Former-Member i am so so tired today. I was nearly falling asleep at the wheel today so no more driving. I seem to get worse when i sleep but i dont know why. Maybe its the pain and just feeling like crap after a draining few days. Ive been laying on my bed most of the day

What have you been doing

Hello my magical Mazy @Mazarita

I hope you survived the night with enough positivity to smile about it for the rest of your life 🙂

I almost hope you've gotten a slighty manic high from it, not that I know what I'm talking about, I don't think I'm Bipolar, I don't think I get the highs.

Basically I'm wishing all that's good, you deserve it after all the effort you've put in. Why would you bother if you didn't get enjoyment, I don't think you would, I don't think your brain would let you. You've got a pretty amazing brain you know! 🙂

Love you Mazy

Re: Niquas Notes

Hi @Former-Member and everyone. Thank you so much to all who sent supportive messages about my little event. It went well! On the surface, as usual, I managed to keep a fairly calm exterior. The main thing that gave away my nerves was that my voice seized up a few times while I was doing the public talking parts of the night. But the event was low key and friendly enough that it didn't really seem to matter. There were a number of people I knew who I hadn't seen for years, even decades. Lots of hugs and good feelings. It's a wonderful group of people who run this screening series. They did a fantastic job with the technical aspects, which was quite demanding because I've worked in a lot of different formats over the years. Just a few glitches but only brief.

Today I am pretty exhausted. Will rest up and probably nap before. Tonight a reunion dinner where I will see even more people I haven't seen for half a lifetime.

Niqua, I wonder why you cut off your dreads. Maybe you'll talk more about that when ready.

I'll end this here because I am really wiped from last night and can barely keep eyes open as I type. Just wanted to let anyone interested know that my big night went well. Films and videos were very well received, the main thing.

Thanks again for all forum support and well wishes. I felt you there with me in spirit.

Love, Maz oxox
