    I was facilitating a course for dental nurses at a hotel today, we all trekked down for lunch at 12.15 and surveyed the large array of salads, cooked meats and hot meals.
    I moved along the line...
    1) vegetable curry and rice - Hmm, ok but i need meat

    2) beef stroganoff - again, nice but I had that last week when we were there

    3) a large metal tray that obviously contained fish in some kind of yellowish creamy sauce. I asked what it was and was told "It's haddock in Veronica sauce!"
    "I'm sorry, what sauce now?" I said
    "Errrrr, I don't know." came the young serving wench's reply

    So quite what Veronica did that warranted her being made into sauce we never fathomed, either that or she has a prolific yeast infection and they made use of it :D

    It was very nice anyway!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
  • Right, I'm off to do some studying.

    Have a great night everyone.

    Claire~i know its really boring & very frustrating but you really do need to learn how to pace yourself.
    I did too much today & I can hardly move now & pain is not too good but in a way its my fault as I choose to do to much IYSWIM?

    I know Beanie, but i've never had to deal with pain like this before, yes i have cp and a back injury but i learn't to live with that and still managed to get on with things, but this trapped nerve in my back is a killer, and the pain in my hip i cannot get used to.
