Sleeping too much

Morning @Former-Member @Former-Member 💗💕

Monday mornings generally are quiet ...

Wow ... that's a lot going on with medical appointments @Former-Member .... but that's good in a way ...

With having had melanoma, and with other weird illnesses having cropped up in the family, with the anxiety of trying to deal with WH's state as it was last year, I was becoming nervous about my own health. I suffered a couple of panic attacks ... first one sent me to the doctor, second one sent me to hospital in an ambulance ... these in response to the escalating emotional aggression at the time. The best thing to do was to go and have all the tests done and find that I was fine at my core ... it was circumstantial anxiety driving the symptoms.

You have had a lot of circumstantial chaos to deal with this year too. I hope having a health profile done helps you to feel better about your overall health, and help you target a few specifics for improvement. Once your kidney infection is gone, I hope you can start up your walking again. That's one of the best medicines, right there.

How's the weather where you are ? Clear skies here ... top forecast of 34 .... hot one ... !!

Hi @Former-Member @Decadian @Faith-and-Hope I notice you there. xoxo

Sleeptime, just wanted to say Hi.

Hi @Former-Member

Usually when I'm awake I'm up and going in the mornings .... but WH has left the aircon or fan on in our room, and it's cool, like a hotel, very tempting to snuggle back down to sleep for a while ... just the thought of that means I am actually very tired even though I had a decent amount of sleep last night. We have a forecast of 34deg today though, and now my cold is gone I want to get out for a decent walk - WH cooked a beautiful lunch yesterday, but it was another heavy meal - so better to get going early. I had fruit for dinner last night to help balance it out.

WH didn't have the heavy meal .... cooked giant steaks and grilled veg for the rest of us, then had a small spanakopita himself .... and MIL barely ate ... she is taking a leaf out of his book and trying to copy his results ... I hope she doesn't take too many leaves .... taking her away with us on the trip ... I have a pair in them ... :face_with_rolling_eyes:

Will try to grab a snooze in the middle of the day today.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope

I did not know that you had melanoma - that is a scary issue/problem/situation (add another other suitable words) - my dd had two removed when she was a sweet young thing of 19 and I think she is in remission now - oh do I ever hope so

But yes - I have had malignant skin lesions myself - but I am not at all sure whether they were melanoma - it would be a precluder to a panic attack - add in all the other sub-terranian things in your life - you know them - let's not list them -

I am not at all surprised that you have had panic attacks -

Oh gee - you are in for a hot day - still waiting for more than one warm hour in a row in Melbourne - we have had more storms last night and this morning - wind and rain - walllllllllllll - the weather is not boring

And @Former-Member - you have your plate full as well - I am starting to feel really innocent around here - I guess that's because most of my crap is in the past - but it does have something to tell me

There was a time when I could get upset over practically a nothing - even a little tiny nothing - but in retrospect it was a big warning of someone burning out

And the other - later in life things change their values - I should start a thread on that one

Somethings matter less - priorities change

Thinking of both you girls - F&H travellling with WH and the kids - have you left yet and Tawney with a kidney infection - and other chaos

What can I post for you girls today - probably something one of you has already posted - let's see

Oh yes!!! - that's one of mine

Hi @Former-Member

I am glad I am not the only person with a woolly brain - if I had thought about it yesterday I might have wondered if I looked like a forgotten cantaloupe - you know the one that got lost in the back of the fridge anything up to 10 years ago -

Ster-ange day yesterday - most peculiar momma

I had a friend where I worked years ago - and sometimes we would drive to work and other days get public transport - and one night she got the train home and found her car had been stolen and got the police and all the big deal - and guess what - she had left it at work. 0_|_]]

Anyway - it's been a long time since I had a sus anything taken off - over 5 years - it's dd I worry about and she will not discuss this - I am too interested - I want to know all the details - yeah - I am a pain in the neck because I want to know EVERYTHING. But she freaked when she was 19 and had to have surgery for melanoma and she rang up to ask me if I had had anything malignant and yes I had - her husband told me about that - we have to watch our skin around here - I am Anglo-Celtic also and our mother smeared us with so much zince we would have been more likely to have had problems with Heavy Metal complications.

I did not see the big moon - bad weather - but a few days ago I saw the almost full moon rising in the afternoon and yeah - it was bigger than usual

Here's a cuppa for you - imagine it is tea or coffee or bonox if you chose - I know this one is my pic - I searched and searched for a coffee cup - and this was my find

I have to go up to Medicare with my receipts from my psychologist - and then as I continue seeing her this year I will need to sort it out with my Private Insurance - life was meant to be easy - it was - it was - but that woman ate that fruit and so I woulda done
