Voices I have had a horrendous week and I'm looking for something to smack the legs of so shuuuut it

Watched the CCTV meeting from 11th May
The one where they tell me if OT recommend a move to a bungalow they do it even when your under 50
Where I tell them I don't feel it's deliberate but it is a lifestyle clash
And they tell me they always honour OT recommendations

You know the one that the email completely contradicts lol

Poor WaS, hope you feel better soon! It does seem terribly unfair that someone who barely even leaves the house catches bugs, how are they finding you?!

Re: the OCD stuff, my friend hasn't got it but can be another random panicker and I remember a couple of years ago going through the photos on her phone with her and there were loads of random pictures of her straighteners, when I asked why she explained that she takes a photo every morning after using them to show that she has definitely switched them off so when she has a panic later in the day, the photo reassures her that they're not currently burning the house down! I'm forever checking our tickets and passports when we go away. I've even checked DS's passport a few times to make sure he's OK to travel. He's not even 2, he got his 5-year passport earlier this year. Why would it occur to me that it may have expired?! :rotfl:

Oh WaS. Poor you. Do you have any coca cola? Flat coke is really useful for sick bugs. DH gets sickness and diarrhoea bugs when one does the rounds (I rarely do) and when he does flat coke is the only thing he can tolerate. There's loads of news reports on Google saying it doesn't work and loads of people saying it does. I think getting any fluid in is a good thing. Rice water is also your friend. Get WaSP to cook some rice ane drain but keep the cooking water. You can take little amounts off a spoon and the starch will bind you up a bit and hopefully stop the diawoowoo. Hugs and squishes as I don't get sick bugs. I may need a teddy bear onsie. I like a good onsie but can't have feetie ones as my legs are too long. I have furry boot slippers for the winter though.

Flybaby - you make a lot or sense. It's a big decision! But I think if you can afford to do it and you want to do it then go for it. Further study is never a waste of time. There is plenty of time for working full time once you have your post grad.

How is the bruising today Pyxis? Do you need some arnica?

Welcome back OG.

Have a tramadol hangover. Guess who forgot her medication yesterday morning and didn't realise until bedtime by which time I was in pain. Fell asleep and got woken up by a text - to add insult to injury it was spam - and couldn't get back to sleep for the pain and took tramadol and now I feel woozy. Have to go to work though - my sick leave is terrible. We're only supposed to take 10 days and I was ok on that, then I had that massive pain and git signed off for another 8 days . Because what I have is classed as a disability they can't penalise me for it but I don't want to look like I'm exploiting it. I may take a pillow and nap at my desk.

yes - I've done and do cbt - works on some things but not all. mush mush mush.
So I am sitting here filling in university applications for postgrad degrees and going through all my bits of paper and wondering, if I have so many wonderful qualifications and references and am still not happy - will another piece of paper really do any good? Will it really get me toa better place? ( I would say "will it get me to where I want to be?" but since I don't know where I want to be - not a viable question to ask)
I do actually want to do the study, well sort of.........what I really want to do is go back to uni to do another Bachelors degree, but I can't afford that again, so have to settle for halfway house of a masters.
And the big question - am I avoiding going back to work? I have wanted to do further study for a long long time and have, over the past 8 years done various course and qualifications - but this is the big one I wanted to do all along........so not sure if I am taking the opportunity or avoiding reality? I will probably end up with a part time job during the years masters course anyway coz I know what I am like - can't bear to see my hard earned savings get frittered away to nothing so I will want to try and keep the pot as refreshed as possible. Am I making ANY sense?

I want to do a distance learning masters but it's cost stopping me.

What are you doing and where at? X

Horrid night with youngest. Busy day today with shopping, hair cuts, Dd got a friend coming, eye test. Doing spag Bol in slow cooker yummy

Pyxis

Oh dear!
We're all turning into Emergency Ward 10! (Anyone remember that?:D)
The gigantic bruise is clearing very well now, but the haematoma is still there, and the bit under it, which is the bit I actually fell onto, is still very painful to sit/lie on.
Have a headache, too.

Have been using arnica like there's no tomorrow, Code!

Waves_and_Smiles

Hahahaha! Yes like that, Pyxis! My onesie even has the white tummy!

There might have been some slight swearing at the voices yesterday, Melly!

Thank you code, I have left a glass of coke to go flat and I shall try rice water later. WaSp never gets bugs either, he has had flu once and two colds in 10 years. I go down with everything that creeps in here!

At least the codeine has stayed down, I shall try anti-psychotics soon. I had visions of embarrassing myself and asking A&E to please inject me with my medications to stop the withdrawals, which ironically have stomach flu symptoms. I wouldn't be able to tell which was which!

Sorry about your head, Pyxis that's all you need on top of the bruising! Hope the toe is bearable!

I spent the day cleaning and tidying as mum is coming to visit tomorrow and the place has to be spotless.

I used to clean before my parents visited, took until I was nearly 40 before I came to the conclusion that actually it's my house, I live here and I'm never going to have a house that looks like it's escaped from "Homes and Gardens", nor do I want one. So I stopped and they get the house as everyone else sees it, with dust and stuff everywhere, because I'm happy with it like that.

They haven't stopped visiting me.
