The Challenges Of Finding Solitary Refinement ..

Hope you are feeling better today.

Well done on the workouts and walk!

Yesterday I attacked the untidy section of the bedroom. It’s a start . Long way to go! 

I received a phone call 📱 yesterday from a family member about my family member who had operation yesterday.
We may know more today . No visitors allowed ! I won’t dwell on that . My family member mentioned instagram and wondered why they heard nothing from me . I don’t bother with that . I joined but only used it twice ; once for family members and once for a FaceTime type call with group of friends. Maybe I’m out of touch, but text / phone call is direct and common sense ! Tried and trusted . Rant over .

Will go for walk later🐾and due session with mr trainer later also🏋️‍♂️.
Did the same yesterday , although the 🏋️‍♀️Session I did was a stretching one before bedtime 🛌 which was good.

I had to complain yesterday to managing agents about the “gardeners “ who walked around with leaf 🍁 blowers and disappeared after 15 mins . 

They contacted director of that company.

I’ll  leave it there ..☁️

You don't let anything get in the way of your fitness. A. stretching session sounds like a good idea, something I  should copy!
I  couldn't agree more. I love phone or face to face but there again I am definitely out of date where social media is concerned!

If you have another 'spell' you could get it checked out for peace of mind...

Your 'gardeners' sound like idiots.

Have a good day.

Thanks @doingitanyway😼
As I'm often reminded "you're not doing anything else👆🏻 ", so I make sure I stick to my word regarding the fitness . Having my routine collapse years ago and the rug pulled from under me , I'm pleased that I've managed to get that part back .

Yes, the 'gardeners ' are indeed idiots . This is the 3rd company that has been used since I've been here . Cheap and nasty springs to mind . I suppose if the managing agents are watching the costs as it would effect how much we pay etc. 
As for capt. mainwaring next door ( director ) he seemed off with me when I politely told him that there is post in my communal area for him and his family . ( mistake by relief postman and no big deal). My speech was hard to understand , but I could tell by his manner he isn't keen on me . I tend not to get involved now, and regret telling him too much information when I moved in . I'll be out of sight / out of mind for however long I can be.  At the end of the day nothing lasts forever, and there are worse things to worry about .

Anyway, walk done 🐾. Mr trainer to follow 🏋️‍♂️. It's a bit close again . 

I'll leave it there ..🌥

How are you getting on AC?

I think I'm ok mrs p thanks for asking 😼

I suppose I could give an update , which will be too long if I didn't do it now ..

Family relative had operation . Too early to tell about the full implications. No visitors other than one other person. It doesn't look like I'll need to go to londonistan just yet . A bridge to cross when I get to it .

Still training 🏋️‍♂️and walking 🐾. Assessing my body there is concern , but the most important thing for me to do is carry on the way I am ..but need to extend walks 🐾and prod a bit more the bad habits reducing them as I go along . 

The main problems is the stamina / sick feeling of Myasthenia and random tiredness. Combine that with my right leg 🦿causing constant pain then you get the picture🌅
If I stop my routine , I will be in a lot of trouble in the coming years , but one day at a time .
The speech is still randomly all over the place . 💬 

Regarding Universal credit and the journal , I received 2 acknowledgements accepting my latest fit note . Not from job coach , but from 2 different names . The second one suggests that it has been "accepted " and hopefully no more assessments are on the horizon for some time 🤞. In other words , things are being made harder by u c but hopefully nothing I can't handle . 

I have been attacking the bedroom again 🛌. A lot more progress yesterday . I have a few pairs of jeans 👖which are too big for me now , and I will be taking them to a clothes recycling bin up the road along with some shoes👞. I still have a few good pairs of shoes 👞and some haven't been worn yet . Who is Imelda Marcos ?
The wardrobe ( although hanging by a thread ) , is the last thing to be properly organised in the flat . It's also the most difficult due to having large musical equipment boxes 🗳🎵🎹 and iMac box 🍏. Apart from the obvious , where to put them is a mystery as I need to keep them for resale purpose one day or repair . 

I received a letter regarding £150 council tax payment . I filled in details online , and will check next week if I've been successful . 

After yet another discussion on Monday with mr trainer 🏋️‍♂️ Regarding food 🥖 I purchased some stuff online from Iceland 🥶. 🛒Frozen mince ( Turkey and steak) that the other shops don't seem to stock. Plus I'm experimenting . I did have crisps last week for 3 days but have none in flat now . I did purchase mini rolls though 🍩. I'll update on progress as and when . I should be bruised from all those brick walls that mr trainer 🏋️‍♂️Keeps telling me I am going through 🧱🧱

There is more , but this post is getting long . 

I will be seeing local friend tomorrow where we should be walking to Bournemouth and a guiness or 2 🍻

I'll leave it there ..🌥

jwil

Sounds like you are continuing to make good progress

doingitanyway

Never thought about frozen turkey mince. Good tip.
You are still doing great. Taking everything in your stride

Another update ..

Did a leg workout before bedtime Thursday 🏋️‍♂️🛌

Went to Bournemouth beach with local friend . A few ciders🍏🍻. Walked there🐾 but thankfully got bus back 🚎. I also walked up and down the hill to get a fresh loaf 🥖before that 🐾as I was craving it . It came in handy .

Saturday felt dreadful , stiff but no hangover thankfully 💊 . I managed to do a stretch. Workout before bed but that was it .

Yesterday much better, but still tired .😴 I did mess around on synths 🎵🎹and recorded something on soundcloud . 

Was supposed to do live workout with mr trainer 🏋️‍♂️, but that's put back till tomorrow .
I will do something later on but still tired but did walk earlier 🐾.

The gardening saga outside my window has gotten silly . 🪴
I waited for a response for a week . I then contacted managing agents . They told me " the gardeners normal duties were carried out on 17th May , therefore they will attend as normal cycle and will not be returning ." 

Initially I was mad 🤬. However, not very mse I know, I purchased a hedge trimmer and cut it myself . Today, the gardeners turned up 🤦‍♂️

They saw my efforts, and there was nothing they could do. They did a bit of raking.
They also did spend a lot longer in the block than a month ago( or was it 3 weeks?)
When I first moved here there was continuity. Since then 3 different companies , hence the confusion . I'm not angry now, and assume if it gets out of hand I can cut the growth of the dreaded Buddleia myself around November like last year . We'll see..

I'll leave it there...🌤

Glad you had a few ciders with a friend. Sometimes we need to kick back.
Well done for attacking the Buddleia yourself
