Busy Tuesday

Thanks for all the lovely messages yesterday, I always miss Blip, I need to make time for it again.

I had a better night’s sleep last night by my standards, up at 7am and had breakfast, coffee and then decided to play catch up with the housework.

I got several loads of washing done. You may recall that I have not had a washing machine since September 2023 when my old machine broke down. 

After much unnecessary stress, I had the one in today’s Blip delivered nearly a fortnight ago by my Housing Association as the local Council let me down yet again some time ago.

This afternoon, I tackled the bathroom, including my disabled shower. My left knee is still causing me a lot of discomfort as is my fibromyalgia but have been grateful for a lower fibro pain day. I am looking after my knee, getting it reviewed in two weeks if no improvement.

I feel much better getting things done and need to learn to give myself permission to rest more. I love being independent, it makes me very happy. I am very proud of the fact that everything I do, I do it myself despite three chronic health conditions.

After the housework, a coffee, a long lie down and a much needed shower and fresh pyjamas and dressing gown, chilled watching documentaries this evening.

Managed to get my Duolingo done too as I hadn’t been on it as much in recent months, very on and off and lost my streak a few times but back at it and continuing to learn Ukrainian, Welsh and Finnish. 

Such a great learning tool and I like to spend my time doing productive things online as opposed to wasting my time.

I will play catch up with Blip comments between this evening and tomorrow morning :)
