Ok then, so it appears I have missed a week. Apologies about that. It seems I was required to Adult for a bit. I promise it won’t happen again.
To be perfectly honest, I don’t really have much to say at the moment .
Things are moving along ( as far as the NDIS is concerned) and hopefully, I’ll have my new Day chair soon.
I have no idea what’s going on with Eleanor Wheelie – That’s my electric wheelchair for those playing at home- but after weeks and weeks and weeks of stressing .. I’ve decided not to worry about it too much at the moment.
In fact, on advice from just about everyone – I’m going to stop stressing about a lot of things. I’ve been doing it for about a year and a half and I’m exhausted.
Even writing this blog – I’m tired …
My husband has the weekend off work so we’re just spending quality time together
My apologies this is short – but sometimes that’s all there is
As I sit here and prepare to summarize the week that was – the rain falls steadily outside my window – washing away a weeks worth of dust, pollen and all manor of allergies with it.
On Sunday – the day I usually set aside for writing about me week, Hay fever had well and truly owned my ass – to the point that i blew my nose so hard and so much .. I made it bleed.
Therefore, I had concluded that I was in no fit state to write anything.
Thus, here I am.
Normally, at this time I am just about ready to jump into an hour long session with my Psychologist but today’s session has been moved back till 2pm. ( That actually works out kinda well TBH – It means I go straight into my PT session afterwards. It also means I don’t have the time to sit and dwell on things that were discussed either- Yay doing the things back to back)
So, to begin….
Workwise it has been pretty quiet – not the norm for an 8am -4pm shift but this week it was rather dead. Whether it was due to school holidays or the buildup to a long weekend ( Victorians had a long weekend due to the AFL grand final, QLD had a long weekend due to it being their turn to celebrate His Majesty’s Birthday and NSW for the NRL grand final) or that people were just not wanting to deal with my workplace this week – who knows.. but it was quiet nonetheless.
On the personal front – the body has been rebelling quite a bit and my pain levels being almost unbearable. I have cut back on a lot ( So long “Holiday diet!”) and am currently going through a process of elimination regarding what foods/ drink causes pain flare up and what doesn’t. The most recent victim was lemon, lime and bitters. Yep. Turns out 3 lemon,lime and bitters is enough to make ones feet and legs swell -So they also end up on the “Nope, you can’t have that” pile.
*Sigh*
On that note – I am off to get some lunch. Apologies that this blog was late (and short) and hopefully, with the help of the Good Lord and a poke with a sharp stick – my next blog will be on time.
Hello Tuesday…. Where did you come from? You kinda snuck up on us real quick…
To be honest, this update should’ve been written as per my normal Sunday blogging schedule – but both Hubby and I ( My husband more so than myself TBH) have been running around like blue-ass flies trying to get all the things we couldn’t get done due to having to work. So far, we’re about 3/4 through our to do list.
We’re also on the 2nd week of our Holidays and today ( well, this afternoon anyway) Hubby is going to get an eye test and I am off to get my hair done… and provided I get home from the HairDressers in time – I will also have my PT session at 3:30pm this afternoon.
Another thing that’s occurred is that I now have seem to have developed a rather nasty case of Chilblains. Thankfully, I was able to get in an see my GP last Friday and get a script for some cream to put on it. I am also grateful to my Husband who went out yesterday to get it for me.
So yes, not great. Apparently, a lot of folks I know had them as children but like all things with yours truly, I never experienced these things as a child so I get the displeasure of dealing with it now as an Adult… And I gotta say.. It’s not fun. That said, the cream I have works a treat and it’s doing the job quite nicely.
In other news, We celebrated our 17 year Wedding Anniversary over the weekend. It was a low key affair with a lovely dinner and a bottle of wine while watching Futurama from the beginning ( It’s been a long time and neither of us can remember much of it) I treated myself to a Foot Massager from Amazon while Hubby purchased a new guitar. His first one in quite a while and I have to say – it’s really rather lovely.
Oh! We scored a Green Waste bin from the local Council – so that’s another thing we can scratch off the to do list. Normally, it wouldn’t be an issue but the last time we asked our neighbour if we could use her Green Waste bin – she allowed it – only to become rather petty shortly thereafter and keep it locked in her garage for several weeks afterwards – preventing Hubby from being able to complete the gardening that he needed to do. Now with one of our own.. we’re all set to go! *
Tomorrow Miss Floof is getting clipped and groomed. Thanks to a local community site on FaceBook ( Meta if you’re one of them) I managed to find someone who was willing to take our baby girl on. She’s quite knotty and tangled – She loathes being brushed- so we’ve no choice but to do it this way. We’re hoping to be able to get her used to brushing after this – as it will make both her life and ours ( and that of our cleaners) much easier!
Hay fever seems to be the bane of my existence this year with it making a triumphant return after an almost 8 year absence. Those who know me know I despise sneezing ( it’s the most grotesque of all the Human bodily functions in my opinion) so the very fact that I am now dealing with seasonal bullshit on top of everything else is complete and utter bollocks!
On that note, boys and girls I shall end this blog as I feel another coffee and some breakfast coming on
Thanks for reading
Ceej
*As a rule there is one Green Waste bin between two in the unit complex we live in. Everyone else understands this bar our neighbour at #8
Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlefolk of internet land. As promised, this is your Midweek catch up blog.
I don’t generally write blogs during the week as I am working however, my Husband and I are taking some time off from work to tie up some loose ends and do the things that we’ve had to put off doing for months – consequently, we’ve spent the last few days doing just that.
So, where were we? Oh yes, I know. My last blog covered what was one of the longest weeks of my life. If you would like to know why ( because of course you do!) you can do so here:
My latest blog about the longest week in my life .
To start with, that blog pretty much ended up with me watching the livestream of my Grandfathers Funeral. He was 93 years of age when he passed and by all accounts had a wonderful life with his Wife of 63 years, Pat and her family. From the bits that I could piece together, my Poppy met Pat when they were living in the same area in Victoria when he was 31. ( This tells me he met and married my Grandmother, June when he was in his 20’s. I figured all was not well between them when my Mother was born and they divorced shortly thereafter)
I saw my Mother and Sisters in attendance as well as various members of Pats family and friends – Most of whom I’d never met.
Still, it was a lovely service and I shall forever remember my Pop as a kind man with an awesome sense of humour and a big smile!
From there it was just the countdown to two weeks away from work. I continued following up on all things NDIS ( At time of writing this blog, I am STILL waiting for one more piece of evidence to be submitted for my NDIS plan – Review of a review. I had an in depth conversation with my Support Coordinator G about where we’re at with it.)
On the plus side, I was finally able to order my new shoes from Dr Comfort! (Yay!) and the long awaited quote for the Day Chair came in – Ironically, it now needs to be put on hold as Hubby and I are currently exploring other options on how to get one elsewhere.
As well as this, I have arranged to have a catch up with my new OT, Alana. She will be picking up where the lovely Triza left off – as she has since moved on to greener pastures in the pursuit of bigger and better things.
Tomorrow I have my visit with my Remedial Masseuse and then it’s off to my Fathers for a morning cuppa.
Friday I find out the results of the bloodests I had on Monday and speak to my GP regarding all the forms I need her to fill in 😀
I am unsure whether I will be able to post another blog on Sunday – as it’s my 17 year Wedding anniversary and I believe Hubby and I have plans… So, there may be another midweek blog next week as well!
On Thursday I was to wiped out from my two appointments and Sunday I lay down for a nap and overslept
Add this I have been dealing with quite a nasty bout of sciatica, a MONSTER Aunty Flo (now since finished) and life kicking me in the metaphorical balls….. I just haven’t had the spoons to write anything worthy of note
So, please bare with me as I struggle to get through the obstacles thrown at me this week and I promise I will get back to writing my blogs as soon as I’m able
