What are you doing today???

I wanted to plant some little shrubs and things I bought at a garden centre yesterday. Not summer bedding plants as it's too early. But although the sun is shining it's a cold wind outside.
So, to plant or not to plant, that is the question.

We did that last week Grandmabatty . I couldn’t believe how much water there was!
The wind here is threatening to whip the heads off the daffodils - you wouldn’t be planting today henetha !
Today I am feeling sorry for myself as suffering from most symptoms of positive Covid (day 4). It will pass.

Tillytrotter ? for you. I hope you feel better soon. I'm actually embarrassed by the amount of ice there is. I knew it was bad when the Titanic sailed past.

Work, work, work.

Very pleased with how much I'm earning, but not keen on all the extra hours.

Grandmabatty thank you,
and for making me laugh ?? ?

I've been up (too) early, just hung washing on the line. I'm going to a Zumba class at 11, then meeting my friend for coffee at 2. After dinner this evening, I'm going to go to a local pub where there's a punk band playing.

I’m off to a farm with two DDs and two DGSs. Easter egg hunt and other activities. The boys will have a snack lunch and the we’ll have an early dinner on the way home. Hope the weather behaves.

I am going for brunch to a friend's house in a while. Shortly I'll go to Aldi for food for the week.

I am going to colour my hair as my appointment with my hairdresser was cancelled yesterday as he has covid & can't reschedule until 22 April by which time I will definitely look like a zebra!
This evening we are off to The Gielgud Theatre to see To Kill a Mockingbird. Taking DGD1, who is doing her Drama GCSE soon & enjoys live theatre. It is a long production so I hope I stay awake!

This afternoon I am picking my GC up from school and bringing them back here for pancakes (as requested) then their Mum will arrive and we will all go to the communityt hall over the road to watch another GC performing in a panto.

This morning I am hoping for call from surgeon who did spinal nerve block, as it has not been a success and I need to know what to do next. Doubled my opiate patch dose with no improvement.

Luckily I can still drive as I am at my most comfortable in the car seat.

Had my spring booster yesterday. First three vaccines were Pfizer, no problems at all. This was Moderna. Feeling a bit iffy today and my arm hurts, so not going to do much at all.

The plants are still in the garage as it's really wet here this morning. I optimistically did some washing but have had to hang it in the porch. So I might tidy the sideboard instead.
I lead such an exciting life..

With you Tilly day three.
So, what am I doing, not a lot, we were supposed to be going away this weekend, cancelled of course, there are always other weekends.
Still, better nights sleep was had, nose dripping less, cough abating and appetite returning, onwards!

Ditto, Jaxjacky and when asked “how are you today?” it is nice to be able to say “a lot better thank you”.
DH has only a faint 2nd line on LF test today and hopes to be out of incarceration before me as he is 4 days ahead.
Sorry you had to cancel weekend plans, we didn’t have any (hashtag Billy-no-mates) ?
I hope to read about everyone else’s day which will be more interesting and productive than mine.

Not mine.
I'm still in bed.

Been here for the last year or so, mostly.

Your having a rotten time Miss A, hope there’s some improvement soon.

Oh MissAdventure that sounds very frustrating and tedious ?

Ah, thank you.
I think I'm almost at the end of my tether with it all.
I am going to venture into the kitchen soon. (Hopefully!)

So sorry MissAdventure ?

? for you MissA. I hope things get better soon.

Oh dear, MissAdventure, I knew you didn't feel well but didn't know it was that bad.
Sending some tlc and I hope that they can discover what's wrong soon - is it Long Covid?
?

I'll long covid you in a minute!
It's not clear what it is, and it hasn't been helped by an unhelpful gp and letters going adrift, and appointments not being made, but it has damaged my liver, affected my sight, filled my legs with fluid, given me a rash, stolen my energy and made my teeth crumble and hair fall out.

I’m so sorry wish I had a magic wand to wave over you, sending very gentle hugs.

Ah, thank you.
I could do with a little sprinkling of magic.
Your liver performs 500 or so functions, and it quietly compensates when its malfunctioning.
You only find out when it can no longer compensate and those functions are all going up the spout.
I've had to learn to be my own specialist!

Yes, I saw your posts the other day but Long Covid can be dreadful.

I hope they can pinpoint the cause (and that it isn't Long Covid).
You need someone to shout very loudly on your behalf - would the Patients Advocacy Service be able to help?
