Re: catching up

hi Karen,

I hope you are at home now resting, or maybe that is just wishful thinking on my part 🙂

I tried so hard to go to sleep this afternoon, but no go, i am so tired and exhausted, i really don't know how you manage to do so much of a day, i would not be able to do it.

I hope you got some rain, and it is nice and cool where you are still, it is really hot here, the AC is pretty much useless, but i suppose it is old, maybe it is past it's used by date.

I am so proud of you Karen, it has been such a busy week, you fought and fought and managed to make it through another week, all of the traveling and the mishap with the spider, and the builders, but you managed to accomplish it all with such strength, you really amaze me what you are capable of doing.

Hope we can speak some more when you feel up to it.

Sorry if i am getting too involved in your building reno's, i am just worried people are taking advantage of you. you deserve so much better.

big hugs.

Jacques

Hi Karen,

I hope you are not feeling too down tonight, i know you have had a very busy week, but now you have the weekend, i hope you manage some rest.

My thoughts are with you my angel.

Tonight i put the second coat of paint on the motobike exhaust, it looks good, the whole bike is looking better than when mum bought it for me in 1994, it is almost like new.

I hope you have had a nice tea and a nice hot shower. wash the week away.

Well take care my angel. Big hugs

Jacques

Hi Jacques
sorry you didn't get much sleep.
I'm emotionally and physically worn out. Such a busy week. The girls are grumpy and emotional as well.

We did get the rain its 12 degrees and its even hailed.

im glad the bike is going so well. You must be so proud. It gives you a great sense of achievement.

Please don't be sorry I don't have anyone to discuss things with. I am so nieve people seem to take advantage of that. Im so lucky to have a friend that will help me. Im so grateful for all the help you have given me.

I hope you get a cool change tonight so you can sleep better

take care my friend

Re: catching up

I thought you would be doing it tough tonight, you have done so much through the week, so have the girls, they are probably tired too, you have all done so well, i am so proud of you Karen, what you have managed to achieve, i cant put into words how impressed i am.

Wow 12 degrees, Rain and hail, well it is 28 degrees here at the moment, not looking even close to raining, i do wish i lived in a cold climate, because i am so overweight i really feel the heat.

Yes, i am proud of how the bike is going, i have only made 1 mistake of ordering some bolts 5mm too long, so i am happy with that, a new set are on the way.

Karen i often worry i am intruding too much on your life, i know sometimes i can be overbearing and struggle to understand how social interaction works. I do hope things work out and the work men at least do a good job.

Karen you are not nieve, just scared, i know you struggle with standing up for yourself because you have not been able to in the past, if i was in your position i would probably let them do what they want too, it is so easy for me to say do this and do that behind a computer screen, in reality i don't think i could actually do anything different than you have done.

The cool change is comming through now from VIC so it is cooling down quickly.

I hope tonight the girls settle down and you get some quiet time. Some Karen time

Re: catching up

Jacques I have never found you to be overbearing. Just the opposite you are kind compassionate, caring, gentle, thoughtful and an awesome friend.
I wouldn't change a thing you are so wonderful and so very talented

What are you up to tonight.

oh did I mention you are the only nale l know that can multi task; )

Re: catching up

Thank you my angel,

i am so glad you think i am ok, i always worry i am going to do something to push you away, i could not bear it to be without contact. you are so important to me now.

Tonight i am listening to some sad music, and chatting to my best friend.

I hope you are resting up, i am having some date and wallnut loaf if you would like a piece. it turned out more like a pudding, it is soo good. i only cooked it yesterday

Re: catching up

Ooh sounds yummy. See what did I tell you. What a talented man you are!
Jacques you have only ever been a true gentleman to me. You are also getting better at sharing too:)

The girls are in bed so hopefully they will be asleep soon. Im in bed rugged up its got so cold.

my psychiatrist yesterday commented on the weight ive put on. I was so embarrassed. She told me it is a side effect of one of the medications im on. That doesn't make me feel any better. Just more depressed.

I would love to go off all this medication to see what happens. It would be worth it for the weight loss. My knee is so painful all the time and my limp is worse. She told me I should exercise more. But im so exhausted all the time no win win

Re: catching up

I am so happy to hear that Karen, i often worry that i am being a creep, or a weirdo, in my town that is how i am seen, i am so terrified you will see me as a creep too.

People here are so scared of me because i don't socialise, i am a loner and i never smile. i suppose people confuse my anxiety for agression.

OMG Karen, how can it be so cold their, i have the AC flat out, i am sitting at my computer with only a pair of shorts on!!!!!

Oh Karen, i am so sorry, it is so hard when peopel comment on your weight, i know it is different for women, but i am so self consious of my weight, i try to accept it, but i would so love to be thin just once.

Karen i am sure i remember you saying you injured your knee, so it is not weight related, even if you lost weight you would still have problems. Karen, you do so much, i do understand how it is so hard to get motivated when you are so tired, i have not excercised i nalmost a year now, i am so unfit, i can bearly mow the yard.

Karen i am so worried about you going off medication, if you do please check in with me every day, i am so worried you will do something to yourself if you go off it, please at least speak to your doctor.

Re: catching up

Karen what exactly is wrong with your knee, my mother has osteo in her knee and she has some what is called Patel straps, you can buy them at most pharmacies, it holds all of the tendants and the patel in place, mum says it has stopped all her pain. It took a few weeks to work.

Re: catching up

My knee was damaged when my husband reversed the car into me.

basically my patella dislocates ive had 5 lots of surgery screws , tendon graft , bone graft , a full lateral release of the tendons. Leaving me with rheumatoid arthritis.

I need a full knee replacement

I will look at the chemist and try them I will give anything a go to try and be pain free and stablize my patella.
