Saving lots in pots!

~FlowerPot~

last night was a good example of falling asleep before I had got to 3 gratefuls.!!!!! Was so tired. Hey ho, finally get to have the blood tests tomorrow. I requested them in an e consult the day after I came out of hospital, 28th Oct ~ its taken nearly a month!!!!

Regardles of the outcome I am going to give GF ad DF another try. I really need to establish what is making me to tired and drained all the time. Making a meal plan would prob be a good idea! I also want to reduce coffee and sugar, but dont want to shock my body to fast so will drop the coffee to 1 in the morning and try to be aware about the sugar. Will make some yummy bliss balls.  Very annoying a recipe for date cake popped onto my FB feed and I didnt save it and I keep thinking about it!!! I thnk it was just ground almonds, dates and eggs. But no idea on ratio!

 

I cant wait to get back to 'me' To be getting up refreshed and ready to tackle a list i made the night before. I barely do lists anymore, sometimes pop them on here and that seems to encourage me!

Its a work day today. Very odd as currently Im home alone , save the doggo who alseep in the bed!! He should be ok, I will do 3 patients and then come home for a bit of lunch and then pop out to do a couple later.

to do:

Check tax statement and pay

buy dog food

Meal plan and snacks sorted so I get through the first few days.

choose a cleaning job ~ no shortage of these here. Kitchen floor is prob top of the list!

Greatfulls today

Beautiful sunny and bright sunshine on the crisp frosty garden this morning

A cuppa coffee, Im savouring this one, haha

My new radio ~ I asked for a digital radio for my birthday and its great. I like to have music in the kitchen while im in there. Might even have a little boogie while Im cleaning the floor. Lets see what they play today. It seems to mostly stay on absolute 80s!!!! Def my decade for music. Although I did love a bit of rave, trance!!!!

thanks SYA, havign a good week so far.

Although Ive only managed 1 job on my list. I have done all my work and im now resting on the sofa. The house is cold so I have a toasty blanket and Im not moving for a bit ~ I cant, doggo is snoozing on my lap!!

My radio switches between 70s & 80s and sometimes 90s if I'm feeling it. But I rarely listen to anything made after that 🤣🤣 my children dubbed me old when I was still like 35... because I've never liked very modern music. It worked though, I've successfully brainwashed the eldest into the same genres and he collects vinyl like me now 🤣 and the youngest has all my faves on his playlist from Fleetwood Mac to Pink Floyd to Supertramp 😁 still working on DD in the middle there ... 🤪

Ps when dog is sleeping on your lap it's the rules that you get to nap too!

DFW ~ love how you have brainwashed eldest into loving the same type of music and listening vinyl. Here it is the youngest who does have their own stlye of music they like (moody teenage depressed stuff!!) But she also listend to alot of our collection, 80s and 90s!

Eldest is not really into bands, but plays a lot of stuff on you tube and paradies (absolute rubbish!!)

Blood test done ~ yippee

Saw my mum and her friend for a cuppa on their way home

Managed 2 of 3 patients, 1 cancelled

PIcked up DD from college, loads of flooding locally so lots of roads closed and chaotic everywhere!

been very careful with food, however not going DF until ive finised my bar of chocolate!!!! i think thats fair enough! i dont want to shock my body too much!!!

Woke up this morning to, 
'the dogs being sick' at 5.40,!
Let him out and his upset tummy continued! 
He came in had some water and then threw up. 
I settled him down on the sofa and he's basically stayed there since, on my lap or next to me! 
All his bedding is now being washed and the carpets have been cleaned.
Not a great start to the day,!

Hopefully that's it now, he's not been poorly for ages! 

I have 2 patients later this morning, so he should be OK to leave by then and anyway DD is at home as the college staff are on strike!! 

Also have tooth ache. Will be very, very glad to see new dentist on Monday!!

I totally agree with this logic I did the same thing 🤣🤣 refused to quit until id eaten my way through the choc in the house 🤣👏🏼

So sorry about the toothache hope it eases off a little.

thanks DFW, couldnt eat much at all yesterday, darn toothache!!

 However the pain has changed a bit in the afternoon and now rather than consant pain it is only in a particular tooth when it touches the tooth beneath it. THis is good and bad!!!
Good ~ becasue I can now confirm 100% which tooth it is. Dentist was pretty sure it was lower back tooth, even when all the pain was in the top teeth. And aslo good if I dont talk or eat it doesnt hurt!!

Bad ~ everytime i eat and sometimes when I talk the teeth touch and its a very sharp, wincing pain, but it doesnt last.

Today, so far its been pretty well behaved. My goodness teeth are funny things!!

Im having another very quiet day,

Still in bed although Ive had breakfast and a cuppa coffee. I have also done a couple of small PA studies and listened to a podcast. Took a call from a potenial new patient for a home visit. Told her the price and she said she would talk to her mother and call back ~ I think she is going to call a few others!!

cashed out PA pennies today £14.35

 Otherwise its all monies going out!

Coffee for me and DH this morning, plus we collected a treadmill, only 10 months old and was £450, but was £1200 new. It does seem a lot of money but DH has been using our home gym for months and months at least 3 ties a week and this was the missing piece! ALso DD will hopefully use it and I plan to as well. So it should be good value for money!

day 3 of GF, still flipping shattered, but i have had alot of tooth pain and i know that is draining. So just plodding along at the moment
