Catch ups ..

Partner now has the cold, he sounded so sick this morning. Tried to make him stay home.
Why thank you @Former-Member, I think same of you. 😉
I hope today decibels have lightened up? ❤
Possibly @TAB..my mood can fluctuate with lifestyle balance. Go for cheap, in season..oh pineapple has bromine a mood lifter. Eat a piece a day 🍍 😉

Re: Sleeping too much
We have to beware of the dreaded mozzies @Former-Member
I believe they like female O pos blood best - they all latch onto me when I am at a barby - all the other women with O pos along with me suffer while other people seem to have peace and quiet from the mozzies at our expense
Is there any worse noise than the whine of a mozzie in the middle of the night? Well yes - the sound of silence when they stop - you just know they have landed on your skin and are having a party of one on your system
That is enough to keep me inside at certain times - but still - they find me

Re: Sleeping too much
Oh no @Faith-and-Hope, just read back on thread re: D3 + family dynamics..nope sometimes I get same thing...as I was reading I thought but my gosh as a mum you have invested so much energy & worry too..I think one day once it's all blown over D3 will realize how lucky she was to have you help get her through...big hugs. Definitely not easy. ❤

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @Decadian, thanks for coming by. I know you get the isolation more than most. Weekends have been hardest on me for many years, even with the children re access dramas, but since i turned Sat into my Self-Care pampering day and Sun Gods day - this seems to be working. Don't want to be bothered then, by the calls that never come, too busy, hee hee.
And you, with your physical pain and mobility problems - i get it that its a marathon to get out the door for you. Have you noticed its easier to pull off when someone comes and walks with you? Maybe we should find a morning coffee friend lol, a different one for each day 😄
Couldn't help but notice you use that famous word "should" You said "I know I should push myself to go out" tut tut! But why 'should' we anything? I often ask But Why????
Accept for nature, theres not much to motivatr me to go out really. People say you go to 'give' not take, but even the smallest molecules bounce off each other (interact), i don't think were meant to be 'out there' alone. Oh yes, i know i'm not alone because God is with me - but that's not a good argument because God is with me at home anyway. Nope, people just get too busy for us to even come to mind it seems. And i'm starting, learning, finally - not to care.
Glad you found good shoes that help you walk. I do better when i have my act together enough to FIND my quality shoes & socks, and actually put them on in the morning (these days a good bra helps too lol) - dress for battle so to speak, to get more done. You know the saying "i grumbled because i had no shoes, 'till i met a man who had no feet" Its all relative. Just got to work with what we do have and what DOES work, keep it going.
Do you understand how your mothers passing has made you more alert?
Pain medication has its drawbacks so its a fine balance getting it right, especially as we get older. Can you see a pain specialist for proper pain management? I was shocked last week to learn my baby bro, a known drug abuser, was prescribed a strong opiate drug for his back trouble (which a CT scan proved was real nerve compression - he fought for 2wks just to get them to even do the scan because of the history of dr shopping... but now they've gone the other way). It is a specialised field - pain management. I believe there's some mindfulness exercises to manage pain too - have you tried them? My bone pain isn't as bad as yours but i nursed for many years sp i do hear you. Lucky coming here to socialise isn't quite so hard on us, hey.
Q You asked what i meant by "use to be one" I meant i use to have a F/T demanding draining job, children & their friends everywhere, x3 church commitments a week... all at once. That's all. I was probably neglectful of those in need right beside me too. It wasn't intentional or vindictive, humans simply can't be everywhere at once. I see it now.
You give me time here, we both try to GIVE here, i do appreciate that.
Thank you Decadian ❤❣💓💜

Re: Sleeping too much
I lost my whole message @Former-Member
I will get back to you - there are times when I just have to lie flat on my back for a while and maybe my reply will be a better one that the one I lost
We all need to receive as well as to give - the well will soon run dry otherwise
ok - I have just been hit by a storm - the cold wind is blowing under the door - time to rest my spine
Back later

Re: Sleeping too much
Oh wow! Stressful that your daughter lost her assignment on the computer. So good that she has been given more time. What a relief for both of you. Soon it will be over and you can relax and enjoy your holiday away. @Faith-and-Hope xoxoxo
@Former-Member Yes, it is tricky trying to keep up on here and trying to remember who is who and who has been through what and what are they going through now. Are you a reader? If so, would you like me to give you the name of some books that helped me with rejection etc? No worries if you don't, just wondering. I'm going through a stage where I can't read. Going through information overload at the moment. So I understand if you don't feel like reading. xoxo
No good that hubby has a cold now @Former-Member Hopefully it won't get too bad. Rest and lots of water helps. Be good if he could take time off work, so he doesn't get worse. I hope that you are feeling a little more on top of things. Hard for you to rest and recover when you have 3 (probably active) boys. xoxo
Did you get back to sleep @TAB? 
@Appleblossom How's life going for you after your time away? Did you need a big rest? xoxo
Hi @Former-Member Sending love and hugs. No need to reply, I understand. Just letting you know that I'm thinking of you and hope that you are ok. xoxo
Hi @Decadian Thinking of you too and hope that you are feeling better. xoxo
Hi to everyone. Hard to remember who to tag. Hugs to all. xoxoxo
Lesson learnt. Don't go anywhere after psychologist appointment, go home and have a cuppa and rest. I hope that I remember this.
Good thing is I bought myself a pair of Nike runners for $28, they were $98. Found them at the school uniform shop while buying new uniform for daughter. I love a bargain.
I really need to stop taking these anti anxiety tablets, for a while. I usually have a break in between. Have been taking them every day for a while now. Hopefully I'll feel up to cutting down on them soon. I usually have no problem having a break from them. Might wait until I feel a bit stronger though. Practice mindfulness etc. Anyway, I'm raving on here. Better do some things around here.
Enjoy your day everyone.
