The Diary Of Onebrokelady Aged 60 And A Half

Fingers crossed.
I'm sorry you're not able to do what you want. You are taking it easy on those bad days though. I guess you just have to take each day at a time.

It’s frustrating to say the least. I’m definitely taking one day at a time and hoping tomorrow will be better 🙂

sometimes, that is as much as we can do..I appreciate the frustration, it's so hard when your mind wants what your body can't do.

Be kind to yourself though, which sounds like you are trying to.

Don't forget you're also grieving too. The emotional impact of that on bodies is often underestimated. 

Hoping tomorrow you can do what you need to do. X

Just off to bed shortly because I’m finding it hard to keep my eyes open. My chest has been wheezy all day but it felt more like something had irritated me so I used my blue inhaler and took an allergy tablet about half an hour ago and it’s made such a difference. I didn’t think of taking allergy tablets but tomorrow I will try it again and see what happens, they are just one a day ones which I normally take in the summer so I’ll just start taking them earlier if they help. 

I did manage to collect together some of the things that need to go to the charity shop so they are all bagged up ready to go. I also have a very pretty cake stand that I actually use as a fruit bowl  and I’m trying to decide whether to get rid of that too, the plates are made out of engraved glass but it’s cluttering up my worktop and I’m thinking I mainly store my fruit in the fridge anyway so it could go.

Perhaps put the fruit bowl away for a couple of months and see if you miss it?

The bowl sounds lovely…..I’d do as cherry fudge suggested and put it away for a short time.
I’m pleased the inhaler and anti-histamine helped you.

It’s too big to put away 🙂 it’s actually a two tier cake stand that doesn’t come apart but I put my fruit on it. I’ve left it where it is for now and will think about it. If I move into a smaller place at some point there won’t be room for it so it will have to go eventually. I think I’m just being sentimental because my mum bought  it for me but she won’t even remember buying to to be honest

I’ve had six days off but it’s back  to work tomorrow for one day 🥳🍾🥳 then I have nine days off 🍾🥳🍾 
I had things I was going to do this week but I haven’t done any of them 😀 I’ve done other things instead. On Monday I went to meet DD2 for a coffee and catch up and I did take the bits to the charity shop so that’s one bagful gone. I went back to DDs to have some kitten cuddles as well. We took her to the vet for her first vaccinations and she was very well behaved. The vet loves her and is pleased with her progress as far as growing is concerned. 

Tuesday I went to see my mum which was a nightmare because the high street is closed to traffic so the buses have to go on quite a large detour, it took me two hours to get from one side of the city to the other, I’m so fed up of wasting my days off waiting for buses. 

Wednesday I didn’t feel too good so I stayed at home and was going to make a start on my bedroom but I just don’t have the energy at the moment. I did get some washing done and I cleaned the floors everywhere.

Today I met my friend for a coffee then I came home and chilled out for a bit before making a gnocchi bake for my tea, I made four portions so I’m taking one to work tomorrow and the other two have gone in the freezer for another day. I need to try and make the most of the days I feel good and try and batch cook some meals because I’m having days where I am too tired to cook and I end up eating rubbish. 

Tomorrow I’m working 9-5 in clinics so I will have a busy day and I hope it’s not too busy 🤞🤞

Saturday I am having a relaxing morning  then late afternoon I’m going to DD2s to celebrate her birthday, it not actually her birthday until Wednesday but we won’t see each other and she’s busy the following weekend so we planned it for this weekend. We were going to go out for a meal but I sensed she wasn’t keen and it turns out she would rather we got a takeaway put our PJs on and watch a film so that’s what we are doing. I’m staying over for the night so will co e back at some point on Sunday 

After tomorrow I’m on AL for nine days and I’m really hoping I will get some work done in my bedroom if I can get some energy from somewhere

I read about your 4 portions of gnocchi bake & apart from 'Yum', the 1st thing I thought was what a good idea it is to batch cook on days where you feel up to it, so that you have healthy ready meals waiting on the days where you don't. 
Film & takeaway, along with kitten cuddles sounds like a very nice relaxing way to celebrate a birthday.
