I hope that you accomplished your goals for the day , if not there is always tomorrow

Ivy-I read your post from yesterday, but I'm just getting around to replying. How is your hand (and any other injuries)? Also, were you supposed to be admitted to the hospital? For crohn's? I meant to ask about that when you said you had to write a letter.

NCOT-sorry you're having a rough couple days. I tend to go up and down. Some days I get depressed thinking about all the things I can't control and can't fix, other days I get anxious thinking about the same things and wondering when any of them will be better. I do believe that some (not all, just a small portion) is mind over matter. I have to literally tell myself to stop thinking about things when the thoughts border on obsessive. I choose to think about happy things, or just things I'm thankful for. It helps me. I know it sounds silly and like it really can't fix how you feel, but it does help some....at least gets my mind off the worst, most depressing or anxiety causing things.

I've been a little distant the past day. The antibiotic started working, but of course it didn't just help the sinuses and stop with that. It seems with me something gets fixed, something breaks....now I have a yeast infection. It has caused me to be cranky and lazy today. I really didn't want to go work, and put off taking a shower or getting ready to leave until the last moment, but I did go, and made $40 tonight. I have to work tomorrow (Weds) and then I'm off Thursday.

Wednesday's TLC:
*drink coffee outside and enjoy beautiful weather (while it lasts)
*pick up rx (hopefully the dr calls in something for this darn "side effect" of the antibiotics and I can pick it up before work)
*deposit cash in bank
*fill up gas tank
*work, hopefully make good money :)

I hope everyone has a little better Wednesday than their Tuesday!

It was a pretty heavy fall, actually. I'm covered in cuts and bruises now, and am having a pretty strong physical and emotional reaction today. I really just want to be three years old and crawl into someone's lap and be cuddled better :-). However, I went outside this morning and saw where I fell and inspected the damage I did, and realise I was very lucky not to have broken something, or to have been impaled on a garden stake (I obviously fell sideways across two, and narrowly avoided landing on top of the third). And all this from investigating a cat fight...

I do have to be admitted to hospital, but just for tests. I live in a regional area, and the big city hospital (which administers my Humira, because the doctors here aren't permitted to prescribe it) prefer to do MRIs, scopes, etc, themselves... possibly so they have scientific "control" if they ever want to publish about their patients? Besides, we don't have all the high-tech gizmos out here, so it's better to have things done in the city. If I lived in the city, they'd just be done like normal outpatient tests, but because I'm from the country I just stay in for a night or two and get them all done at once. Anyway, I wrote, and they told me that I'm still on the waiting list, so am safe at home for another week or two at least.

I'm so sorry about your fungal infection. It's incredibly frustrating, isn't it, to treat one problem only to have yet another and another emerge... And fungal infections are one of those things that can make you feel truly unattractive and revolting, aren't they? I hope your doctor responds quickly so you can get on top of it quickly.

NCOT, I'm so, so, sorry that things are difficult for you just now. I'm sending lots of good thoughts your way, and hope that this run of bad days will soon be replaced by a run of really good ones.

Ivy.

woo, how come everything happens when i'm not around????

Ivy - i HATE falling over with a passion. I'm so glad you didnt hurt yourself badly. Have some virtual cuddles from me ((((((((((((((CUDDLES))))))))))))))). I hope the hospital can get you in soon, i am so happy once i have all the tests over with. I think its cos i have to know whats going on as much as possible.

NCOT - Hun, your never alone cos you have all of us. Please dont think you have nothing to keep going for, you have family especially your nephews. They'd be devastated if they lost you.

Becky - I'm really glad your earning some cash, but sorry to hear about the yucky fungal infection. My cousin when she gets put on antibiotics is also pescribed canestan for thrush.

Wenesday TLC

* check bank and see if i got paid this time
* watch World Equestrian Games Grand Prix Special and pray Laura B gets individual silver!
* keep eating
* keep drinking
* tidy living room
* try not to stand on the kittens!

I'm sleepy today cos i stayed up to watch the team dressage tests at teh world equestrian games. Netherlands wooped everyone to get gold, britian got silver (which is AMAZING), germany got bronze, then america was 2% off the bronze. Not sure where the aussies came but was well down (sorry Ivy!)

I did eat but it was pretty late, still at least i did eat something.

PS does anyone want two 3 month old kittens??? they're driving me POTTY!!! ;)

Having my own 'blah' couple of days so have only skimmed though.

Ivy, sorry to hear that you are going through the wars right now ((((hugs))))

NCoT, you sound so much like me, but these days do lift, they are horrible at the time and you really sink so low, oh has a saying that he holds to, not always helpful but he does have a point and he says "What is the point in worrying about something?If it is going to happen it will happen anyway and if it doesn't happen what was the point in worrying about it?" !! Drives me insane when he says it although he does have a point!!lol.

Only bit of good news is that dogs lump is benign cyst but need to see vet tomorrow about it. Oh and I have lost 5 lb this week(did I say I was stressed ;) ) I know that some of you with Crohns can drop that much and more in a very quick period but for me........!!!

Try and have a good day everyone

Choc, you're lucky to have been able to watch something as cool as the equestrian championships. I'd have to check, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't broadcast at all here, at least not on the main channels anyway. Was Princess Anne's daughter in it again?

I'm on the verge of adding a grown-up kitten to your adoption list, who is currently throwing a tantrum and scratching the furniture because I'm not letting her out for her evening toilet break (gee, I wonder why).

Great news about your dog, Vixen. It's always horrible when animal friends are sick :-(.

Thanks for the good wishes, Dixie Jo.

I'm just doing a quick potter putting some things away, then will head back to bed where it is WARM and where I am using the electric blanket to bake my bruises. I still can't believe how lucky I was - I could so easily have been in an ambulance or even surgery after last night's escapade.

'night all.

Ivy.

ps. Oh, whwat I did:

* tidying
* shower and dress
* some movement and stretching
* try to do dishes - if I can't; leave for the home help lady

As Dixie Jo said, all the jobs will still be there tomorrow...

Thank you, guys. Dreadful night's sleep (too much fibre :-/)

Ivy - that sounds like a really bad fall. Hope you get better soon *hugs*

I'd better go now. Aunt is here, and we're leaving. Still a bit fragile, but am relieved last night is over.
Posted 9/29/2010 1:19 PM (GMT 0)
Ivy, nope zara isnt in it this year, she hasn't got the horses right now. Which is a shame as she really is very good! The WEG weren't on the main channels properly, it was on the interactive thingie where you have to press a red button. Its such a shame as there was some PHENOMENAL riding last night but zero mention of it on our sports news. For once i wish this country would get behind its equestrian team, especially since they always come back with medals!!

Kittens have calmed down abit, since they have fallen asleep again. Thank god, i'm not sure how much more the house can take!

TLC

* tidy living room - done abit. need to do more though
* keep eating - eaten some junk food
* check bank - yep, havent been paid but i think i'm getting paid on mondays now

I just learned that today is Coffee Appreciation Day! It's beautiful outside and I sat outside and talked on the phone with my sister and enjoyed my coffee and the gorgeous weather.

Now I'm off to shower and get some other stuff done.

Started the 3 day fungal infection treatment. Today is better than yesterday, but it's still annoying. And yes, it does make you feel nasty and ugly having one of these infections.

NCOT-I have to be careful and not have too much fiber as well. Too much of it can cause me to obstruct...grrr!

My sister, who is nothing like me and has a perpetually messy house (crazy messy, she lost her vacuum yesterday!) has started to try to declutter. She found a site that gives you a tip a day that you add each day to the last, so eventually you learn to do a little each day and get things tidy. I hope it helps her. She has to frantically clean every time the kids want to have a friend over.

Is that FLYlady, Becky?

Choc, are equestrian events going to be in the commonwealth games? Do you know?

I'm surprised too - I'd have thought the Brits would have been huge supporters of their equestrian teams. Horses are such a big part of your culture there, aren't they?
Posted 9/30/2010 2:50 AM (GMT 0)
Yes, it's Flylady! A friend of her's found it and told her about it. She's only on day 1, which is go to sleep with your kitchen sink clean. I told her they need a "flykid" to teach the kids to clean up too, or else all her effort is wasted when the kids walk in the door.

Back from work now, and tired. It rained all evening, and it makes driving really tiring. Going to watch a little tv and go to sleep soon.

i doubt equestrian's will be there. Normally i think we do go, but i havent heard of any horses being shipped over. They would have had to go at the latest last week to get through quarantine and get used to where they are before competing. For the worlds, they shipped over horses two weeks ago, plus they had to send over enough hay/water/feed to use whilst they are there.

The brits barely notice what equatrianism does. The grand national gets a mention in the news, and if a superb racehorse wins then they might get a two second mention. Other than that, zip mentioned. Equestrianism is a huge business over here. Millions tack shops, riding schools, private horses, vets, farriers, dentists ect ect.

The freestyle to music dressage tests are on friday, but BBC have decided in their 'infinite wisdom' to not show it on freeveiw which we have. Unfortunatley for the bbc, they havent quite figured out that thats the best bit!!
Posted 9/30/2010 8:24 AM (GMT 0)
Gosh, that's really frustrating. Sorry, Choc :-(.

I think FLYLady is great (if a bit full of herself) and she does actually have resources and challenges for kids, so it sounds as if your friend might be ok! LOL.

I hope you slept well, Becky.
