We really do put them to the test in all sorts of ways.It’s comforting to hear some IT interventions are making things better as so often they make things more complicated 😂😂😂or maybe that’s just when I use technology 😂😂
Happy knitting- what colour is the wool for your jumper?Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8942 -

Agree that resting on days off is the best option. I know a few people who keep saying they feel like they're relapsing when they've felt better.

Another good shift at work yesterday despite feeling icky all day, I got soaked on the way home in horizontal rain and wind but then had pleasure of a nice hot shower when I got in followed by left over lasagne so I didn't have to cook anything. I sat and did my knitting for three hours last night and I'm halfway up the back of the jumper, I might even finish the back today 😀
I am not feeling very good today which is starting to annoy me,I really struggled when I took B out and had to walk really slowly and I still feel sick,I hope this isn't going last for much longer because it's stopping me from doing things I want or need to do, I am actually toying with the idea of going back to bed at the moment but worry I won't sleep tonight if I do that, I'm just sooooo tired though and aching all over
Actually decision made ,I feel horrible so I'm going back to bed 😟Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8946 -
Sorry to hear that the Covid poorliness is lingering, OBL. I think your body is defo telling you to rest while you can, so you are being very sensible.
You've made a great start on your knitting. I hope to start my new project today.

I'm sorry you still feel poorly OBL, make sure you rest and only do the essentials around the house.
I got on well with both of my sisters and miss the one who died very much. I have a half brother and some step siblings who I'm on good terms with but I don't feel close to them as I've never lived with them. I think you're wise to keep away from toxic siblings as it's not worth the hassle.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally
