    Hi Lir. Good to see you.
    Don't worry about not keeping up with things in here, you can join in with random posts when you feel like it.
    And some things don't change - helpful people around at silly o'clock, Gitdog being Gitdog....

    Would the medics be supportive of your wish to see how things are without the pills?

    Ahhhhh

    Git dog!!!!!! Dearestdog.

    The indoor animals are good. Thanks. Mauve Squeaker cat is going outside more, and while she's never going to return to full hunting prowess, she enjoys pinching her sister's catches. Pink Whistley is catching a lot, so she has plenty to share :D. Kiwi is naughty and busy and funny and too cute for words, and dog dog is still my shadow.

    Outside its a rough picture. We had a fox in this week, lost a lot of birds. A lot. I think we've got cubs in the cover by our 'lake' so the hens were easy picking for them.

    *waves to LiR* wonderful to 'see' you here hon :)

    Glad the indoor pets are well, such a shame about the hens tho!
    Sorry to hear things are still up and down atm, sending lots and lots of hugs xx

    Don't worry about not keeping up with the thread, I'm crap at that so try to send everyone hugs otherwise I'd forget ppl. If its further back than the current page I won't remember who posted what.

    So, yes, my way of cheating is all the loves and hugs and spoons to you all, you lovely, wonderful and brave people xxx

    Is it weird to go to the zoo by yourself?

    I am secretive about it because i know I shouldn't be eating it and feel like a greedy pig and it will upset him to see me eating things I shouldn't.

    Things like the chocolate bar or the cream cake (not that I eat them every day, you understand!).

    I think it is to do with stress, but not to do with the house move, I have been like it longer than that. I think it is having to do with having to be the calm one, the peacemaker, the sensible one, the decision-maker, the organiser, between my husband's anxiety and my son' 'aspie-ness'.

    Anyway thanks for taking an interest. I do feel that it might be the medication, I have other symptoms which it can apparently cause. Will make appointment for Drs x

    (Taking sleeping tablets makes things worse RLS-wise, because my legs still won't let me sleep, so I'm still up all night but feeling hungover , and my brain wants to go to sleep but my body won't let me).


    Big Squeeze (((((((((((((((Hugs )))))))))))))))))))

    its a !!!!!! when our bodies don't do what we need them to do
    An painful I don't no much about RLS

    but hugs I do
    everyone on here is so nice, kind, thoughtful

    I hope Dr can give you something that will help

    Going to the zoo by yourself is a really good idea. You can spend as much or as little time on each creature as you want.



    I've just come back from an appointment at the Jobcentre to find out about permitted work. I'm in the Support Group, but I want to think about moving forward.
    Now, I could cry. It was so incredibly hard, and I hate things being about me.

    LIR! Hello, I miss you!

    Yesterday we went to the new forest after closing. They have a huge wildlife park, I saw a lynx and pine martens and wolves among many other animals! The otters were fed after closing so we were allowed to watch!

    I also made a friend! WaSp went shopping at 10pm and i hid in the car and a little old man knocked on the car window. i did panic but opened the window and he asked if i was ok and that i shouldn't be left alone at night. He seemed as if he wanted to chat so i got out of the car. We then had a long conversation for 45 minutes all about his war experiences and his time as a 1950's film cameraman! He had so much gossip on all of the old stars! He goes to the supermarket every night for something to do because his wife had died 10 years ago, they have no children and he only has his sister with severe dementia left. He was 91. I totally adored him and he asked my name and thanked me for talking to him, I was the first person he had spoken to that day. Such a sweet man.

    My middle son does this regularly..... is he weird ? Maybe, he doesn't care . If he wants to go to the zoo on his day off.... he does.
