Hi @Judi9877 

I wish I had the energy to do the things I want. Today was more about the unachievable.

I have a back that gives me a lot of pain, just from doing the simplest of things. And of all days of the week to seize up, it has happened twice on a Wednesday. 

This is the day that I attended my Dare to Dream workshop that I am really enjoying and learning from. And it is also the day for my therapy appointments. But this fortnight instead of cancelling my therapy, I changed it to a phone appointment. 

So at least I managed to achieve a 1 hour phone session, even though it was painful trying to change my position in bed. Lol

Oh @ENKELI what you said means so much to me. Not that YOU should try harder. Your “harder” is putting your needs first and not getting distracted from your goals for yourself.

I was a bit teary before but night time medication has helped.

Did you contact your GP?

I got to get another SU form from my GP.

Another email from my lawyer today. They aren’t the smartest people. Struggle to tie their shoe laces.

”Where did I get this information from? The other party’s disclosure documents.” 💭🤨 ya pack of numpties.

🫢😆 

I’ve got repairs to do at Bully tomorrow. Going to start at the crack of dawn 🌄

60% chance of rain 🌧️ 

It would be better if it rained Friday.

Do you have any influence over the weather? Untapped hidden superpowers?

@Glisten your posts are what makes me adore you 🍅❤

I spoke to my job services provider today and I have a few months grace before I have to look for work which is good. Saves me from having to get a certificate from my dr.

I'm glad your meds helped last night, feeling teary is draining. I hope you're feeling less emotional today.

Don't overdo at Bully, though I suspect you will...

Lawyers, can't live with em, can't shoot em!

I'm volunteering at my brother's workplace 1 day a week from next week, can't remember if I told you. It will keep me off the streets ha ha. 

I hope your day goes well, I'll ask the Man upstairs to lay off the rain until Friday but I don't know how successful I'll be. I'm more like to make it rain than the other way around!!

@Judi9877 I have actually managed to achieve a little bit today.

I have caught up on two weeks worth of washing and managed to get half of the dishes done.

Because of my back issues I can't hang the clothes on the line, so everything has to go in a dryer.

I had so much washing that I had to go to the laundromat twice to make it more manageable.

But at least by doing that,  I was able to get the "Something out of whack" photo for the scavenger hunt. So that is definitely a win 😊

But I know that my back won't be good tomorrow because I have been out & about. 

I am going to rest now and continue reading a book called "Empowered Women Empower Women" which has the transformational stories of 19 women from around the world. I have only just started it. My therapist is one of women in this book, which is how I got to hear about it.

I hope you are doing well.

@ENKELI Nar you did not tell me your are hanging out a your bro’s work ☺️ Nwww nice 👍🏼 Watchya going to do there? Very proactive. Good stuff 👍🏼

You did good with the man up stairs. Just a sprinkle of rain.

You know me too well. Yes I over did it at Bully. Needed groceries, got out of my car walked into Aldi like I needed a walking-frame.

I love my medication. Which I’m going to take now and stand under a hot shower 🚿 for an obscene amount of time 😂

Love you xx G

[ENKELI]

@Glisten my beautiful G

At least you have good medication and a hot shower. And a sauna in the morning I hope!

I groan every time I bend down these days..getting old sucks!! I must say though the corticosteroid injections in my back certainly have helped and I usually only have a twinge in my right shoulder now. Of course not working helps!

I am going to be working in the op shop and supermarket. I told bro's boss I'll do whatever they want me to do. 

From my 20s until a few years ago I'd done some form of volunteering, then decided to  chuck it in after some difficult circumstances in a couple of volunteer positions. While I am a little apprehensive about volunteering with my brother I'm sure I'll get over it.

I hope that hot shower has done wonders for you, naughty girl!

Loves back at you ❤️ 

[Glisten]

It was a good shower @ENKELI 

☺️ I am very relaxed now.

corticosteroid injections that is serious pain woman. What have you been doing to your body? Is it RSI from work?

The most I get is tennis elbow.

Do you take Magnesium?

I shove magnesium down my throat like my life depends on it.

It stops restless leg syndrome - I hate that drives me nuts.

It stops most of my muscle pain.

Stargate is waiting for me. You still watching Umbrella ☂️ Academy?

Deadpool was so GOOD! I want to go see it again 🤭

G

[ENKELI]

@Glisten yeah I can't wait to see Deadpool too.

I have sciatica, disc bulge caused by a car accident, and disc degeneration in my C3 and C4. The Celestone injections work very well and last from 6 to 12 months depending on what I'm doing.

I used to take a calcium magnesium supplement, can't remember why I stopped. I should start taking it again.

I'm not good at looking after myself really. I lift things heavier than I should, bend without bending the knees, that sort of thing. Not deliberately though!

I'm halway through Season 2 of Umbrella Academy. I started watching something else so put it aside.

I have to work out whether I can afford Netflix and Disney as well as Foxtel whole I'm not working so I should b*nge watch while I can.

So happy to hear you're good and relax my lovely. You need to be kind to yourself ❤️
