She said.”Because if you’re like me and stuck at home already, or if you’re going to be like me soon, the days of the week are going to be hell to keep track of. We have a wonderful community here on WordPress, and I’m sure many people are feeling nervous and/or isolated. I want to make sure every one of us has somewhere to congregate and someone to talk to.
Why am I writing this post ? Because it’s day Seven since we have been told by Bossa to stay home and socially distance ourselves. We are all in different circumstances and yet we are all in the same boat.
As ever the day started the same, early, cramp, sickness…let Ruby out, feed her! Feed hubby, we took our walk with Ruby. Yes if I am going to lose track of the days it will be the mornings.
Today I took some photos of the old tree trunks that the gardener’s at the wood have carved! A butterfly, a squirrel and a very aggrieved looking rabbit.
See what I mean about the rabbit ?W we got home I cleaned the downstairs toilet and the bathroom. Then I did the the rest of the house. I rang two friends who are on their own. They are both fine and sound cheerful so that’s good. Rang one sister spoke to other via wordpress so they are both good.
By eleven o’clock the sickness had passed so I had some breakfast. I did the washing and hung it out. Hubby decided to brave the shops, got most of my list but no flour which is a shame as I wanted to bake but hay ho small worries in this situation. Fed Hubby ,we had quiet afternoon but busy . I am going to cook a feta cheese and spinach cannelloni which was lurking in the depths of the freezer, which is good as it made room for the shepherds pies we cooked Tuesday. We are doing well with cooking because we like to cook from fresh. I have put up a photo of the cannelloni defrosted before cooking. We spoke to all the boys again this afternoon and our youngest and his two boys videoed us again it was lovely to see them all.
Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Back in 2010 I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust. I will of been married 53yrs this comming year. I have found different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and hopefully in to light.
My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and be as strong as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well.
I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits.

You are having this every morning? That’s weird! I am sure you have tried out a lot already. What is the diagnosis if I may ask?
It is to do with where I broke my back the second time. My spine is out of alignment and is not always sure where my head/ brain is or vissaversa either way it takes a while for me to feel normal in the mornings. 😀 I cope 💜💜
May I ask what you tried so far (you know I just want to find out if I could give you a tip, I am into healing plants, you know). But you can also say that I shall zip it… lol. I simply don’t want you to suffer from that. Most of all if there is a possibility to calm the symptoms.
I used to take Cyclizine and Omaprozale but I was on tramadol and Gabapentin as well for pain. But I decided no more pills and I managed to get off of them all. Now I take nothing. I try to use mindfulness and will power 💜
That is already the best pre-condition. Congratulations that you left the medication behind. Can there be done something regarding physiotherapy? That in combination with external embrocation and internal essence remedies (regarding the nerves, the sickness, the pain, the regeneration) could really do the trick.
Sorry, I stop it here. I don’t want to bother you, just want you to feel good 💖
Dear Erika, you most certainly not bothering me, I am very grateful that you care I truly am 💜
Sending you the biggest hug, dear Willow, and yes, I really care 💖
Thank you Erica I really feel that you do 💜💜💜
On another note, hoping to brighten your day! It Is What It Is received this award!! Paying it forward!!
Glad to hear that your day went well at the end. Your cooking looks delicious. Sorry for not liking your posts. I have a problem I just can’t like anymore.
You are specisl to me. Glad I met you. You are positive and still real
I am so glad that I have met you too. It helps that we can talk and share experiences. Keep well and safe 💜
Thanks. My first week of isolation is already over. Still 4 weeks to go! How is it going around you. Best wishes and keep safe.
Stressful, but today was much more relaxed thank you 💜
Good to hear
🤣🤣🤣
Why have you got 6 weeks isolation if you have underlying problems it’s at least 12 weeks, if you have been in contact with the virus it’s 7 to 14 days here. 💜💜
I had to go in self isolation last Monday because I’m over 70. Then the whole country went in Lock Down on Thursday for 4 weeks depending on how it all turns out. Then also those over seventy are not really supposed to go out shopping too. They need to arrange for delivery etc. Lucky we have a good delivery system in place and over 70 get special treatment when it comes to online and delivering.
I am pleased to hear that you have a good delivery service there, we actually belong to several, but because my hubby is not 70 for 4weeks we do not qualify for any special deliveries and even though we are regulars we are way down the list, so we have to shop! Self isolation is difficult but hopefully this will not last forever 😖
I started off by using my son but I don’t want him to move out of his neighbourhood and also because I’m not supposed to go out for shopping. Look after yourself and stay save
You stay safe too, this will pass we will get through this 💜💜
How lucky you are to have a nearby place to walk that is so beautiful
