All those of you with sunshine outside and black clouds in your head... go outside for a walk or do something in the garden. Get some fresh air and sunshine and spend a bit of time with some greenery. It helps

Hugs Sock-knitter and Newly Wed, the black clouds are just dispersing from my head so I can sympathize with you x

rose Hi:wave:

Hi! How are you? Well done on the weight loss! How is your grand daughter, and how is your mum?

Well, I've pulled out the cooker, and then recoiled in horror! Have put a plastic bag over my hand (no rubber gloves) to pick up manky utensils that have fallen down there and some old egg shells and pasta and other bits. Have cleaned about 1/4 of what needs cleaning, will go back in a mo when I've recovered a bit!

hasn't helped me today I'm afraid ...spent the last few days crying...just walked the dogs with tears streaming down my face.....just sat & ate healthy carrot sticks, pepper & hummous with tears streaming down my face.....just eaten a whole bag of f***ing marshmallows with tears streaming down my face.....reading the thread & writing this with tears streaming down my face....

sorry peeps...I'm going to leave for a while....try & sort myself out

I've just done three quarters of an hour cleaning. Have even cleaned my lounge windows inside and out - OH will complain about the smudges (he's an ex window cleaner) but they look better than they did. Cleaned the outside of the kitchen ones too - even cleaned off all the manky cobwebs outside

so have surprised myself:

Monday ~ Kitchen and Dining room – DONE!
Tuesday - Master bedroom and landing – Done!
Thursday - Bathroom and Study – Done!
Friday ~ Living room, Hall (No Stairs or Porch) - Done!


MY Extras as and when:

1. Make dr's appointment - Done - Monday.
2. Sort out box of photos
3. Do some shredding
4. Do some unfinished bead project
5. Do unfinished macrame bag project
6. Get off my behind and do some exercise!
7. Read some of body clutter book - 3 1/2 chapters read.
8. Declutter library book.
9. Declutter the bag for charity shop.
   
10. Get milk, crumpets and choc spread for weekend (our weekend tradition).

I want an outside cushion - just a normal one big enough for a normal size butt to sit on - but fabric you can wipe clean - does anyone know somewhere cheap to get one?

Want to sit on the decking outside this summer without having the hassle of getting chairs out and putting them away again. If we left them out, they'd disappear.

Morning All :wave:

Hope you are all well, hugs to all poorlies or just if you need one. I have still not caught up, I have a serious case of CBA and its so not like me, just feel so tired all the time but not sleepy tired IYSWIM, like drained tired :rotfl: Almost every night this week, I have came in, made dinner done only the necessities and sat down and done nothing. My DH has been brilliant and he knows it’s not like me, maybe once meds settle I will start to feel a bit better. I am sure I actually feel worse being on them. I have a candle party on Saturday night at my friend’s house and really don’t want to go but DH says I need to make an effort. Sorry for the rant

My list would probably take me 4 x HHC's max, and I really need to do it, I can now see the dust on the en-suite floor :eek:

Hugs to you. If it continues, go see the dr - they can talk through what options there are for you. I know my black moods are stress. The realisation that I have two job interviews next week doesn't help, or the fact that I might actually get a job and then be really stressed about whether I can do it well, or the fact I might not get a job and then we can't pay the rent


Might go bake some coffee walnut cupcakes.
