Living with Ourselves

Hello @Jacques @HenryX @TAB @Adge @Anastasia @Appleblossom

Good morning all very quickly as I pass by.

I am starting to feel half human after 2nd vaccination blech..

Thought that I would quickly leave a message yes I know...another one..

to let you know that I have every intention of replying...eventually...it seems..

Have optometrist appointment this morning which I have finally organised since being due in April..

I won't mention all of the others that are behind or just have not happened..

I looked at new notifications where you receive a number of latest replies since last logged in...on here

Well surprise, surprise...

Jacques it told me that you had replied to me yesterday as well as Henry..

Hello Henry I can see you there..

Jacques I cannot see you..

I hope that I have not offended you in taking so long to get back to you..

blame pfizer...

So perhaps I am not as close to half way human as I imagined...sigh..

I also started to add medicare app and then my gov app to mobile to register fully vaccinated..

Well you can imagine how I fared with that..

On the pile with the rest for later..

Will work with the old system for now...Take appointment card showing appointment dates for vaccinations and where..

So off to the shower even though my beautiful puddy tat does not want me to leave office as he is laying across mouse pad and half of my arm purring very loudly..

ps

Whilst I was trying to add digital identity I became frustrated (hmm) walked away and voice from mobile started talking to me...

so I replied that

My audiologist has advised me that in order to talk to me and have me hear you...you must be face to face with me in the same room..

My husband is also trying to advise me which hearing aids to try as in lowest price first...

he explained that I would not know which was best unless I tried them all.

I tried to explain that the whole reason for having a hearing test and audiology test is to determine which sound levels and tones need the most support in hearing...

This was meant to be a conversation face to face in the same room as advised by audiologist...He has to do 10 push ups every time this does not occur..

He did come and say goodbye face to face as smiling he went off to play one of his sports all day...

Shower time..

Will reply later

Oops this was the brief reply.

Sophia

well, am not game to look , saw start of instructions for NSW ..began with 'it's easy'.. that's never useful ... ha ha

no idea what to do here in Wa, noone checks in anyway, prob print it off and hang around neck on a chain or somesuch lol yeah was sore after 1st day and that was just walking around work lol was okay this morning.. til went for walk, then sore spots caned, but have to be moving . Thanks @Sophia1

have you tried the gel packs from the chemist @TAB

you either freeze them or soak them in boiling water for 10 -15 mins..

I used boiling water method mostly..

wrap in towel so do not burn skin

then place on sore area...tie something around it to keep in place you will work that part out.

just let cool down...try again later

best thing for pain after I had my major back operation..

moving yes..

not sitting

lying of floor on stomach when very bad or supported on side.

standing

I expect that you have heard it all before..

probably from me laugh..

stretch every hour at least..

good luck must get in shower now

speak later

smile if you can

I do even when sad a quick pick up for a spell..

Sophia 💛

had cheap ones got from coles they burst in freezer @Sophia1 lol am doing cream a few times a day atm, but thanks

Love your ambling posts @Sophia1 Never need apologise for them for me.

Yes re back ... gently moving ... and flat on floor can be best.... hence my Gently Bently.

Ha ha re hubster needing to do 10 push ups if he forgets to talk to you face to face in the same room. I love that.

Things are improving here. My son met friends yesterday at a local kid's park. Inside I was quietly rejoicing, thinking ah well, 20 years ago I had fond imaginings of all the time he would play there with friends, but it seems friends are hard to get, and it has taken 20 years, but better late than never.

I am have enrolled in a course so will be busier and not checking in to the forum as often. It has happened quickly, should start next week. I felt fired up and passionate about many of the issues that will be studied, so we will see how it all goes. Lets just say when asked about any vulnerabilities, I said "Lived Experience", but it may also be an advantage and not just an impediment. It is one day per week, should become face to face, and local. Phew! Relief. I have travelled so much for study in past.

Such beautiful babies @Sophia1 Thank you so much for sharing

so beautiful @Sophia1 what was his name?

Hello @Jacques

Sorry that I missed you this morning.

I have had a very hectic two days.

Medical Appointments where people do not listen and I have to keep on explaining myself.

So frustrating and upsetting..

I am still recovering from side effects of 2nd pfizer vaccination.

I have written a card to my mum and still have not posted it would you believe. About two weeks at least now I think.

I agree with what you said about keeping in touch with her.

I really do want to as I miss her very much.

I miss the mum who was kind to me at times and I know loved me in her way.

I even miss my sister who was kind to me at times in her way and not very nice at all too many times.

I am a forgiving person....

I do not hold grudges...I have to not let people take advantage of this though..try to control me or change me...not accept me as I am.. As this has been a huge part of my struggles with the health of my mind..

My older son is not sounding at all well on the phone again...I am very worried about him yet can do little...

His illness makes him defensive, mistrusting, unapproachable and impossible to have a conversation with. I cannot speak at all ..He tells me to shut up and listen....I stay on the phone for a while then if try to say need to go...get told off again and I just have to hang up...It hurts so much...It is what it is... He believes that it is everyone else...that he is well just stressed because he cannot trust anyone and feels that himself and family are being persecuted and our lives are at risk..

Younger son...well...enjoying work...home...just wants to meet a female who is not fake, does not wear too much makeup, the less the better and can have a conversation...laugh..have fun...enjoy life...

I reassure him that it will happen when he is not expecting it to...life is like that...

how is everything with you? is your girlfriend feeling better and your mum?

My cat's name I will tell you when you are online at the same time as me then I can quickly delete it...It is unusual therefore could risk my identity privacy situation..

I have not been in the garden for a few days due to blasted vaccination.

I might go out there for a few minutes now and water some pots...then come in and rest.

I am so tired still..

Are you sleeping well?

Looking forward to hearing from you when you can as always..

hugs my friend

sunshine Jacques
