How is your day going?

Thank You 💚

I've had a good day watching bowls overlooking the sea in the sunshine and chatting to friends.

Evening all. Not particularly ok. I am ok until I am not . That is normally after I am back home and I am on my own.. hopefully tomorrow I will feel better. Monday is bank holiday so I have to find something to do instead of staying at home.... Until tomorrow.

When we were young on a Friday night we went out on the town, not in my case though 😂 was my worst nightmare!

Now my Friday nights are spent watching tv - sometimes with murders!
but the highlight of the night is always organising all of the next weeks meds, alongside double checking the PRN Meds as well.

it’s sobering as you pop each tablet out into the box and think to myself, that up to five years ago I was only on two meds. Now I rattle every time I move! Or should I say squeak with the old joints.

I’m a stubborn old man (yes I’m 42) but I feel more like I’m 82 at times. I’ve been fighting since 1983 and always refuse to give up, no matter how dark it gets.
At times my brain can be like the Somme, Bannockburn, Battle Of Bosworth, Jutland, D-Day, El Alamein etc at the best of times. But I just remember my roots, the loved ones I had that were strong people and inspire me each and every day.

I agree, keeping going when we are faced with such darkness and adversity all the time is brutal, tiring and is very lonely.

Sorry I've not been online Catherine/not very well. Have been thinking of you and little Fifi. I'm sorry she's struggled since her op. My Natalie-Tiffany did struggle for 2 to 3 days last year. She'd also had c 10 teeth out (not bad re plaque) but cracked teeth they found during op. She was under anaesthetic for just over 1.5 hrs, she's 8 now. I'd tried to encourage her to drink to get her liver metabolising the drugs out of system but she didn't much/couldn't force her. I think it's just a natural process and time, and rest. I've not let my other two dogs have there's done because of her reaction to the anaesthetic, their teethlings aren't bad (no discomfort). I hope she picks up soon and then feels much better having had them done. Take good care of yourself too, sending hugs to you and Fifi xx

@Grumpy1314

I've been meaning to write a message to you, but often procrastinate (ADHD, etc), but I hope it's ok to send you a PM at some point in the near future

r.e. the whisky barrels… are you sure they haven't just been used as planters already, and you're mistaking it for the smell of Laphroaig or Ardbeg?? 😂

@luvpink where abouts do you live? It does sound nice living at the seaside but sounds like you have problems of your own there like anywhere else
