Well it’s been a few days since my last post. I’ve had a hard weekend and other days too for that matter. I’ve dealt with things from baking cinnamon rolls, drinking vodka and jet washing the garden.

Since my last update I’ve had to deal with my nephew and his moaning and whinging and not wanting to do his spellings. Also about treating him with antibiotics because of an abscess. I understand why he didn’t want the antibiotics though. As he’s only young he gets the liquid version. I know from experience that the pills taste nasty so the liquid it’s self must be even worse. So fair do’s to him. It’s gonna be nasty.

Spelling wise he did really well considering he didn’t want to practice them. He got 7 out of 8. Bravo little dude. There were times though that I had to retreat to my little man cave of a greenhouse. I struggled to deal with his moods and arguments. Part of his homework though is that he has to grow something from a seed or bulb. Had the bright idea that he should plant some lettuce.

I wouldn’t mind but his seem to be growing better than mine. They are coming through and doing quite well at the moment. Only issues is he has to take care of them. That wouldn’t be a problem if he didn’t like watering the whole greenhouse. Including the beds with nothing in them other than weeds. He like to almost drown everything else in there too. It’s quite funny though but it saves me a job.

I have had to do other things in the greenhouse like put plastic bottles over some of the plants to help them thrive a bit. Even with a heater on it isn’t quite warm enough yet for things to thrive. I’m looking at other things to help warm it up a bit too. Considering things like candle and flower pot heaters and stuff like that. Just need to try different things I suppose.

I have been asked through my mum by other mums from the school if I would help them with the garden they are doing. I said I would but need to find out what they actually want me to do. I’ll find out and suppose it gets me out of the house for a bit.

Yesterday I decided to make some cinnamon rolls. Oh my god they looked good and tasted even better. I took them to a family gathering in the afternoon. I wasn’t looking forward to it as I was expecting to get, how you coping? I knew someone that had that and they’re fine and running marathons and stuff. Luckily I didn’t. I got to see people I haven’t seen for a long time. I also got to know people I didn’t before. Well I did know them but not if that makes sense. Let’s just say at the party I got a little squiffy. 3/4 of a bottle of vodka. Not sure if it was a good move or not. Probably not.

I did wake up this morning though feeling fine and without a hangover. So that’s good I guess.

Oh Friday was a busy day for me. I went to the local ms support group. That was cool. Did some physio stuff and some exercises. Also when to the pool with my sister and nephew. I had the bright idea I may even try swimming. A bit of exercise does you good or so they say. As I’m typing this I obviously didn’t drown. It was bloody hard work. Managed a length or two and it nearly killed me. I was shattered. Doesn’t sound like I did much but everything that day nearly wiped me out completely. I know I need to budget energy more effectively. I may have energy right now but need to think about what else I have to do either later that day or for the next few days. My energy now is in a finite supply so have to take care of it. I learned that the hard way.

Today was another stupid thing. I decided when I woke up I was gonna have a lazy day. That lasted until about lunchtime. Then I decided that I would do some bits in the garden. Out came the jetwash and thought I’d do a bit then rest the. Maybe do a bit more or stop. The issue is I get fixated on things and have to finish something if I start it. So I jetwashed the whole yard. It’s not easy hobbling round with a walking stick and jet wash. I did the whole thing. Again it nearly killed me. Literally this time. I was so cold and wiped out afterwards I couldn’t open my hands and they were stuck round my walking stick. I was sent to have a shower by my mum and dad. Mainly to clean up and warm up. I spent nearly an hour in the shower. Having to use a plastic footstool step thing to sit on as I couldn’t really stand anymore.

Now I feel like I’ve been drinking all day. I haven’t touched a drop. Head is spinning body feels broken and heavy. I’m all achey and considering some strong painkillers as the pain is building. My body is tired and wants sleep but I don’t feel tired. It’s weird.

Anyway, that’s enough from me. Love and light.
