MAE ALL...for some reason I wasn't feeling too great last night, start of an upset tummy, start of a headache. Decided it might be the patch so I took it off and after awhile I felt better. I've decided I'm going to switch to putting it on in the morning when I figure it's at it's most potent and then depending on how things go may just remove it at night. So far things are going great with the no smoking, not really getting my after meal cravings like I usually do. Sorry this post is all about me, just wanted to check in before another day went past. Have a good night all...PPQP

Cross-post, Lav. I guess it isn’t your birthday! Maybe it’s the 17th. I did not get out the few cards that I should. Maybe tomorrow. I too have added a memory foam mattress topper.

Evening,

Had a weak, rotten day. No energy. Everything is so difficult with this severe neuropathy throughout my body. I got the living room carpet vacuumed, but it exhausted me, and I had to nap afterwards. I took a 10- minute bike ride outside (since I can’t take a walk, like a normal person in Winter), but it exhausted me, and I had to take to my bed for a long time afterwards. That was it for today.
I stupidly have thought that this is fixable, but my denial is lifting; and I’m realizing that this is a progressive condition with no cure; and I will be living out the rest of my dumb life in a way that I didn’t expect: weak, impaired, in pain, restricted, and disabled.

Mick, didn’t you just get a new settee a couple years ago? No judgement, as I just got a new couch a couple years ago too, and have already given it away to my daughter. I have a new loveseat being delivered this week. I sure hope I like it in here, and that it’s comfortable.

Lav, I do like King Arthur flour better than most; so I can believe that their yeast is superior too. Say, isn’t this your birthday?! If so, then Happy Birthday!!

Hello to PQ. One more week of work until vacation time!

Happy Sunday everyone,

The day seems to have gotten away from me, again. Just sat down for the first time, haha!
Made a great pot of soup made a gift pillow, addressed some Christmas cards - only send a few these days. Kept all the hungry animals fed & watered, etc.
The rain has started, it’s going to be a damp week but better than snow I guess.

Mick, I know exactly what you’re talking about with the mattress craters. Those divots do a number on your back. I purchased a newer version of an egg crate mattress topper a few months ago instead of tossing another mattress. It’s worked out great so far. Glad you got a good estimate on your finds - money in the bank for you

Not much else happening here so I’ll wish everyone a decent night!

Mae all .how are you doing today then? Hope all is well. Not impressed here..my back is in agony. Due to the mattress and this settee. I kept telling madam it wasn't right and she was saying it was just my imagination. Anyway yesterday I was absolutely aching couldn't walk properly. Julie lay on the mattress..there is a crater that the moon would be proud of..So we ordered a new mattress yesterday with a delivery date of today..no mattress..email from the company to say that the contractor had delivered them to the wrong depot. Warrington as opposed to Castleford..close eh? They cant deliver it till it's put on the system. And they cant do it on a Sunday. So i have taken 1 of the single mattresses out of the van.I will kip on that.As for the settee they are coming to fix it on Thursday..but to be perfectly honest I think I will be replacing it anyway.

Hiya ppqp glad you are sleeping..forgotten what that is.seriously though hope things are doing better for you?

Hiya lav thats a cracking pic.how are you doing today then? Hope all is well.Julie still doing her Needlework .

Hiya slo...no it was Julie's dad sat and said nothing for an hour..not me .as for the auction for my stuff.. the auction isnt till beginning of February. He has to photograph and catalogue it all up. He gave me an estimate which impressed me...quite a chunk above what I thought. Have you had a good weekend?

Hiya pie how are you doing? Any more foster dogs?hope you had a good weekend.

Hiya teegee. Ho are you doing? Hope all is well with you.

Right folks.have a great weekend
