Mooloo's New Home, New Year and New Start part 3

Savvy_sewing

Nothing special today, except about 10 minutes ago, twin2 wanting some money until she gets her benefit tomorrow. wants to buy some food for her and her sister. I suspect it will also be spent on some sort of rubbish. Drive me nuts they do.
I had a different morning at a Mums coffee morning with some of the nursery mums. We certainly had a good laugh. Something I really needed. Good for the spirits, but I had to go to bed at lunchtime so I could sleep because I felt all light headed and strange.
Biggest of Mooloo rang to see how I was. I was limpinge etc but I managed without the stick today. Just.

I have tried to sew this afternoon, but only managed about 40 minutes before I had to go and collect DGD from Nursery.
I have sorted out the mess on the dining table, so we can actually see the table again. I also have a pile of paperwork that needs sorting. Bills to pay and then another bag full of paperwork that needs filing. But I have run out of energy.
Tomorrow DGD is in Nursery in the morning still so I will try and time my morning so that I can do a little sewing and a little paperwork/bill paying eek. I think its my ESA day, although it will all be going out on the rent as I am still in arrears since all the benefit changes happened in September.
I wouldnt mind getting to the sewing machine again this evening, but probably will have been worn out by the time I get DGD to bed.
Time to cook some sausages and potatoes, bit of Sausage and mash. I know, I should be using up all the vegetables but I really cannot be bothered today!. We have had lots of fruit though so its not all a disaster.

Didnt get to sew again yesterday.
Have decided that I will ignore the housework, and just get to the sewing machine after I have taken DGD to Nursery. The Mums that I normally talk to at the school gate are not there on a Thursday, thier children do different sessions then DGD does, so I will not be sidetracked to someone's for a cuppa today.
Hopefully Molly will be coming over for a cuppa and a natter at some stage today.
But Biggest of Mooloo is due to come and help with some housework, and I think DS may be coming to do some more in the garden. We will see.
He may be on loan to Twin1 to help her pack her stuff!.
Right time for my shower, and get DGD ready for Nursery. I do still need to washup from last nights dinner though.
(I find it just to exhausting to do it in the evenings, most times.).
I didnt sleep with my neck collar on last night. I just felt too claustraphobic, and I can tell this morning, as my face is numb on both sides. So I have had my head in the wrong position! So I must wear the damb thing, even if it does drive me nuts, and keep me awake. Lesser of two evils I suppose.

Done enough typing now. (been on the sewing thread as well).

Well I went straight onto the sewing machine. Finished the Winnie the Pooh bag, and made up another purse and wallet. But that was my lot. It was about 2 hours in the end. So much more then I thought I would do.
Biggest of Mooloo came over, she started to help me sort out my clothes piles! need to get them sorted out and get my bedroom cleared.
After much debate I have decided that DGD should have the bigger room now, so I am going to move the sewing room into hers, and my bedroom.
I shall store fabrics in her room, and buy some suitable shelving to match what her toys are currently in, and then put the actual Desk probably in my bedroom, where the boxes are all stored at the moment.
It will be a huge move around, but then DGD will be able to have a bigger room, and be able to grow with it.
She can then be able to play with her toys etc, where she is not really able to unless she is sitting on the bed at the moment.

I had to have a rest this afternoon, as I went all over strange. Luckily Biggest of Mooloo was able to stop here for a bit longer, and Molly's daughter had collected DGD for me on her way to work.
Molly came around 3pm to see me. I was/still am rather vague. Molly said that it was as if I am 2 seconds behind with my thinking!.
I am definitely struggling.
I have not done much this afternoon. Cooked the tea, and then I started to pay the bills that were lurking!.
The bank Balance will be very low, I have lost a bit of track of the balance, but there was enough to cover the bills I was paying. They will show up in the balance soon anyway.
DGD spilt her milk in the bed, and so I have had to change it. That was a struggle.
I really am struggling to even get my head around writing this!, so I better stop now.

Sending hugs Mooloo, sorry you are feeling out of sorts.

Morning,
I decided against taking my solifenic, see if that makes a difference. But still feel vague today.
Already DGD has had a tantrum, and I feel worn out.
All I have done is put the washing machine on, and eat some breakfast cereal.
We are due to go and see my boys today. Bittersweet day. Always look forward to seeing them, hate leaving them.
I just hope that DGD calms down soon before I am due to drive.
I am not looking forward to her throwing wobblies in the presence of the boys or the social worker there.! I always feel personally responsible for her actions.
Funnily enough she won a "star" for her fantastic good manners at snack time yesterday. So she can behave! Just pushes me, as a child would push their Mum I suppose.
Right time to move or I will be going out inmy dressinggown.

Mooloo, DGD is always going to test you as she see's you as her Mum figure. Just continue to be firm, fair and consistent and you will both be fine.

I hope you have a better day health wise and a great time with the boys.

Like all medicines, Solifenic has side effects. Full list here, but do read the patient information leaflet and if you feel the med isn't agreeing with you then a chat to your doctor would be helpful

Yes Moo and I read through the leaflet yesterday. Hope you had a good visit x

Thanks Errata,
Molly and I were reading the leaflet together yesterday, and there were a couple of syptoms that I thought I was experiencing, so thats why I have decided to stop, although today I still feel out of it a bit. Its been hard to concentrate, and still difficult to get my words out at times.

ESA have sent a letter to say I will still Qualify for it, in the Back to Work section. So I will have to go to the jobcentre and look for work.
What fun. The system is rather mad. But I am relieved that I will still be funded for the time being anyway. When the system changes in April who knows But thats the same for everyone on ESA.

I have had a lovely time seeing the boys, but as usual the day has been longer then I meant it to be and now I am ready for my bed.
Hopefully DGD will also be ready for hers soon.

Due to go to Oxford tomorrow if I am well enough. Driving really is taking it out of my left arm, even though I have the automatic. Its holding the steering wheel, I think that agravates the arm. Anything where the arm is at a certain angle for any length of time seems to agravate it.

Its no wonder I am dissorientated half the time, I just put all the other meds that I am on through that site Errata, and all of them cause Dizziness and sleepyness etc etc. With the amount of medication I am on I should be knocked out. Reckon that I take enough medication to knock a horse out!!

I take 1300gm gabapentin 3 times a day, 50mg of Diclofenic 3 times a day, and the solifenic, also tramadole and paracetamol!!!! EEEK is all I can say.
Scarey reading all the side effects. Wonder if I should ever be driving at all? Mind you I wasnt feeling like this before,? This is new addition to the mix.

DGD is in the bath, so I better keep my eye out. Dont want her drowning.
