Morning all.
Nice to have you with us, Dfw38
Glad to hear that you're feeling better, Valli x
(((Hugs))) and spoons to Dizzy - lovely to see you x
Sticks thrown for asb's BD x
I have had a fairly grotty weekend of feeling tired and unwell, probably because of this high blood pressure. I have just rung the GP surgery (when I got through a few seconds after their 8.00 opening, I was 105th in the queue) and am now awaiting a call back from one of the doctors. [ETA: just had the call and the DR has asked me to come in for a face-to-face at 12.00.) I am not going back to cardio rehab until I feel better.
This morning I have also
- FUPA clean washing
- showered and dressed
- eaten breakfast
- loaded the DW and S&S'd the worktops and sink
- cleared the floordrobe in my BR
- made my bed
- dusted the leaves of the two orchids (real ones) that stand on top of my c-o-d: there is only one flower left on the maroon one, but the white one has two flowers open today and more buds to follow
- written a birthday card, but when I go out I need to buy two more for DGS3+4 so that I can post all three together in one big envelope
- eaten breakfast
- rung cardio rehab and given my excuses for today.
Will get on with admin for the next hour: bank, website, add school holiday dates to my diary.
This afternoon I have a meeting with my boss (it could be a difficult one).
Hope you all have a good start to the week. Good luck with SS, pigpen.
(((Hugs))) and spoons all round, as needed xxx

Well done round
Kaz, on my way home from the Dr, I spotted a lonely suitcase leaning up against a lamppost with no sign of an owner anywhere, and a long way from a bus stop or any houses. Maybe it's your OH's? Black with coloured flashes, if I remember rightly!
Doctor's check-up decluttered: give the increased dose of meds a week, and see how we go.
One birthday card delivered by hand to one of the Old Wives.
Age 8 and 10 birthday cards bought, signed and stamped - I will have to go out again to catch the last post.
Paperwork scanned and printed out for this afternoon's meeting.
Bacon sandwiches made and scoffed.
Now off to get 30min zzz.10 -
