DFW ~ love talking about gardens!! But do need to get out in mine more, but it wont be this week!!This morning started good, im up and dressed, put 2 loads of clothes away, undid the diswasher, changed my sheets and popped them in the wash, rang the patients from the first clinic day I missed and rebooked some in for monday coming. I have 8 booked in eek! half wishing I hadnt, but they need to get booked back soon or they will go somewhere else!NOw exhausted and back in bed. But at least a few little bits got done and its divine having fresh sheets!!MS ~ mum is coming up for lunch and I would usually go the the SM to get stuff in for lunch, but a cant so have found 2 jacket pots, im defrosting some prawns and I have avocados in so all good and even better all soft!!! haha i sound like someone old with no teeth!! so lunch is all accounted for, and tea is going to be soup and bred for me and DH, just to work out DD.DH did give me some pennies, £350 for the tooth payment and an extra £50 as he knows Im short from not working, I am still yet to get to the PO, maybe tomorrow!! I put all £400 on the CC. Still feel rather annoyed to be paying for a tooth thats no longer there, am very glad I hadnt had the second appointment for another £350!! Anyway it done now and paid for, phew!♥️ Your thoughts are incredibly powerful. Choose yours wisely ♥️ Dr Joe Dispenza ♥️🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸Decluttering 2025 So far 132 / 2025

friday and its novemeber!!! this is my birthday month too, not that I will be celebrating all month!!!!!Im still in bed had rather an eventful night with a very poorly tummy. I think its from all the drugs Ive been taking over the last couple of weeks. Felt exceeding ill and was very scared I was going to pass out. Didnt and I woke DH and he was kind and sat up with me at 3am, hes now at work and im snoozing!!!!Will take it easy today, unbeleivably Ive just had a call from a new patient wanting me to come ASAP , but I expalined I had about 20 odd patients queitly wating for me to ring them back and so couldnt take her on for 2 to 3 weeks. I dont get many call from new ones, shame about the timing. I said she could ring in a couple of weeks if she could wait!One thing I do need to do today is sort out the fridge there is meat in there that hasnt been assigned a meal and it will need to be organised and put into the freezer today as we will not get to it all before the best befores.ALso need to wash the blankets that live on the sofa, they have that lovely doggy aroma!! ANd he went back with my mum yesterday for a little doggy holiday and to make things a bit easier for me, very kind of my mum. SHe was very happy as like his company.Not going to do friday round up as its shocking! But did have £50 to put arcoss into the pension, so thats 1 good thingGratefuls today. Novemeber, the month for chilly days out seeing all the autmun leaves and kicking them about ~ hope to get out and have some nice walks. DH for being very kind last night. central heating ~ arn't we lukcy to be able to have heating at the flick of a switch. Our bedroom is in a state od redecoration and the radiator is off the wall, which has made me realise how lukcy we are to have heat whenever we want it♥️ Your thoughts are incredibly powerful.
