    well done for ticking some things off your list. :)
  • Clean the privy- love it Dragon :) The phrase that is...not the privy ;)

    Glad to see you are getting around a little bit more, even if it is the dreaded housework wars :)

    Thanks folks - I want to get a few more bits done today but not the post stuff (that will be Friday now) but I think it will be sorting the re-cycling out and crocheting (mind you I have managed to empty the bins) if I can get two up and at it things done a day I think that is good AND it doesn't knock me totally sideways for the rest of the week :o

    Okay this is going slightly better than I thought - even with a total meltdown emotionally on Tuesday :o, what to do with the rest of the very grey day! Well I could clean the stove and sink, mend the joggers and crochet :rotfl:, or I could crochet and rot my brain with senseless tv :p

    Basically the two in progress, the shopping and stitching up of the mitts to go - so today is crochet and hopefully I can finish the final mitt off and then they can be stitched up :D, the shopping will be done on Sunday and the food tracking is just on going. Even though it is not on there I think I will try and get some dusting done on Tuesday (can't do it over the weekend as Dr Dragon is seriously allergic to dust :eek:)

    The payment to my CC went out today so that is another thing to woot about, by having cut up the CC then nothing else is going on so month on month the CC will come down, add to this the Doctor wants me try CBT to help with the stress (he has accepted that 99% of medication gives me weird and wonderful side effects :o) and he recommended an on-line site called Mind Gym - so that will go on my June list of things to do, I need to think about the Art of Crochet yarn - do I want to make the throw or think about something else to do with it (answers on a postcard please :rotfl:)

    Had another melt down today, met a friend for lunch :D, who commented on my hair cut (which I don't like but she thought was nice :p) but whilst discussing why I don't like it I broke down a bit (not too much I was in public after all!) basically my friend said something about my hair that my late sister used to say sneeringly/bullyingly and I realised WHY I grew my hair to knee length for so many years and why I cannot live with short spiky hair (brings back all the sneers/jibes/digs etc)

    sending you hugs Dragon. it's it strange how things come back to haunt you. You'll have to keep us informed about the CBT, i've been thinking about it, and have a NLP session in two weeks which is making me worried.
