Rest Day

I have had a higher pain day, awake since 5.40am. I have rested and recovered from my paced walking yesterday for the Amy Winehouse fundraiser.

Thank you for all your kind comments and words of encouragement re the fundraising, I really appreciate them all :)

I've spent most of today listening to music and using my electric heat pad.

I was very cheered by a third donation of £25, feeling very encouraged and grateful for it.

If I have a lower chronic pain day tomorrow, I will get some more steps in. 

My Mum, full brother, his partner and her Mum all went out for lunch today, early for Mother's Day. My Mum told me about it midweek on the phone and I wasn't invited but would not have gone along anyway - those of you who have followed my Blip will understand why.

I have made the mistake of talking to her again and have decided to cut contact again. It's best for my physical, mental and emotional health.

I caught up via messages with one of my best friends today, we are hopefully having a proper meet up next week if we are both feeling well enough - like myself she has fibromyalgia and other chronic health conditions too.

With three brothers (one full, two half), she's like the sister I've never had. She calls me Twinsie as we are born on the sane date, although in different months. We have a lot in common.

I hope you all have a wonderful Mother's Day tomorrow and virtual hugs to those who find it difficult. 

Apologies for my poor Blip pic - a mini carrot cake cupcake (not homemade). Continuing to have tech issues and photo editing limited just now!
