It is so good to have a special thing for your birthday, mum used to take me to mini put put for my birthday every year, it was a nice and special way to spend the day when i was a child, sort of like a yearly ritual.
I ma so glad she has her mum's exquisit taste, your girls are going to grow up to like the finer things in life, they sound so smart karen, just like you 🙂
I am so exhausted Karen, everything is aching, even muscles i didn't know i had, i am so unfit, i can't believe how unfit i am now, 12 months i have gone from being really fit, to a fat slob, so sad, but i am proud of what i managed to achieve today and yesterday, i am getting realy good at measuring timber and cutting it first go, i am getting comfortable with saws too, i used to be so scared of them. as i am a computer person and need my fingers 🙂

Oh yes, i am ok with the drop saw too, but the circular saw, i had my fingers within 2cm of the blad yesterday, i was so terrified, but i had no where else to hold it as i was just trimming it to size, i don't have a chain saw, but i don't think i want one, i know the day i lose my fear of the saw is the day something will happen, it is so easy to lose concentration, i have seen so many people on the ER shows that have mangled their hands, and i am scared of mail guns too, i have seen too many accidents with them. i suppose we all take risks doing reno's don't we? the trick is to go slow and be cautious.
my nagel, you need to make sure you eat properly even if you put weight on, that could be affecting your moods too 😞 i have 3 meals a day, but try to make it is healthy as possible, i used to be proud of myself dropping 40kg, maybe one day we can regain our pride Karen, all it takes is will power, and a good pair of shoes 😄
i know the feeling Karen, i get so dipressed about how unfit i am too 😞 i just keep telling myself it is a short term thing and i will get back into it when i can.
how is the temp down your way, it is 30 here, very pleasent. and a reasonable breeze.

Oh my angel, please be careful, nutrition is so important. It sounds like it is the medication putting on weight, it is out of your hands by the sounds of it Karen, try to be kind to yourself.
i have 4 weetbiks for brekkie, a salad for lunch and a small piece of meat and 3 veg for dinner, it is so important for us especially to eat right Karen, lack of nutrition can have a devistating effect on our MH.
Maybe you and i need to accept and love ourselves as we are, i know it is hard but the more pressure we put ourselves under the worse it will get, try to do what you can each day, and accept it if you can't do everything you want in a day, i am trying so hard to live by this.
sorry my angel, i am sotired, i might have to get an hours sleep.
hugs my angel, sorry to go, just so tired.
speak tonight, my special princess.
Jacques
