I've been taking my medication on time. Seems simple but it's hard to remember to take care of myself sometimes.

I also ordered myself an electric blanket today. I struggle to get off to sleep at night with aches and pains and restless legs. A friend lent me one to try out. This is life changing!

Cottage pie, not shepperds pie!

I'm being terrible at self care, my girls wanted a new more grown up room so I'm painting which means the entire house will look like it needs redoing and I will be stuck on the hamster wheel for a while.

Especially when I am not physically recovered from illness.

Self care: long hot bath with book.

I looked in the mirror and see my mouth has developed a definite downturn that never used to be there, I see frown lines that never used to be there. (I never frowned before because I was told as a child that my face would get stuck!!)

Estrangement has changed me. For self care I am smiling and doing face massage, eating well and dancing to get good endorphins.
