Life can be a Pain

Hi @Former-Member@utopia@TAB

I wanted to study medicine but alas - my father had two more children to educate and I had to leave school - which I didn't want to do but

At my boss's suggestion I studied accountancy - and I spent most of my working life fiddling around with bits of paper and recording all that info into cash books and journals and balancing the books and loved it - so I think your son is going to do well with economics - Utopia

actually I didn't enjoy studying economics myself but now I am older I understand financial side of political propaganda - I don't know if this is a good thing or not but at least I know when the wool is pulled over our eyes - the effort is constant 

I am proud of your son for your sake Utopia

And great to see you again Tabby-cat - yes - I think I am one smart cookie too - I want to remail smart so let's watch the blood pressure

And I have had the tablets for two days now and my BP is fine - but they did tell me I could be a bit wonky for a week or so and I do - yesterday was fine but today - aw Utopia - I am not worried about the day -  I am more concerned if I am on the right planet - 

Let's say if I choose to stay inside all day when it is such a lovely day at least I am safe - 

Checking the planets - I am okay - just light-headed - and I think it's time for some soup

You’re sounding very positive @Owlunar decadian 😀 do you have more trips planned? .. also deep breathing , being hydrated and some foods such as beetroot can help bp 😸

[Owlunar]

Hi @TAB

Beetroot yes - I have that in salads nearly every second day - and I am always well hydrated - really important atm when I am watching my BP change every half-hour - if it changes drastically I will have it seen to but in the meantime - taking it easy today

Right now I am thinking about my next trip but haven't decided when or where - I might give the bank account a rest and go to Darwin - I love flying and the thought of flying all the way to Darwin sounds good

But right now I am resting up - 

How are you Tab?

Sounds like need to watch it re bp @Owlunar but it does go up and down naturally
Darwin sounds exciting Ive never been to NT farthest north Ive been was Broome. It’s wonderful 😀
Um not too bad thanks re me, just depends where am setting the bar so to speak.. if low/same Im fine. If higher/risk Im worrying 😀 see what happens I should stretch self a bit more re work and leaving here not much fun if not much work and no other reason to be here really
Hope you’re okay . Get the Ghan to Darwin maybe??

I am sure the BP is okay @TAB but I have a new toy so I am practising watching it and seeing what's likely to be normal in the long run

I think it's stress and chronic pain but it's still something that needs to be attended to - I'm getting old and that's my new excuse and I'm keeping it

Work is keeping you here Tab? - I am sorry to hear that - ah - I know you have some tough stuff and it seems you have some decisions about work too 

More or less work - raising or lowering the bar - I get it - 

Keep safe Tab -

Hi @Owlunar, is your BP problem low (syncopy) or high (stroke risk). I have the latter & just been put on a 3rd tablet to manage it. Is youre 'light headed' feeling due to side affects? Sorry i haven't kept up. You hang im there.

I'll put an update on Carers side DDD thread soon - but also feeling a bit needy myself so i might resurrect the Winter Blues & Declutter threads here in LE. Haha, have less time on my hands lately lol.

You rest up today.

Its lovely outside today but hot, so in under the aircon myself. Dad loves MASH films (he was a Korean war Vet) & actually, he just stayed awake for the whole 2hr movie "Goodbye, Farewell & Amen" - nice to hear him laughing on & off too. His spirit is still strong. Dad's sister died 2days back, so I've been concerned for him.

Took dad to mum's hospital memorial yesterday. It was lovely - especially the release x10 white doves.

E
There was some lovely poems in the memorial flyer if you'd like me to post them. No other family came to mum's memorial,  i dont understand them,  unless the part where you "just want it over" 

Sorry youre not the best.  Hope your daughter's endometriosis can be managed adequatelt,  know its extremely painful for some.

How are you holding together through your run of 😞 anniversaries?
Deep breaths ❤❤❤

Yeah but no @Owlunar lack of work making me think of leaving r bars .. either mild risk /go nowhere re staying or lot higher risk and leave re moving costs/getting more work tham here and going back to way more basic accom ..
