Black Dog 31

The last post was actually about what time we go to bed and how the light affects mood, but its always a mix based on acceptance not challenging.

???

and who finds us first.....

Hello Wyllow I see we’ve moved again. Seems quick after last time. Thanks for doing the opening honours,
I’m off to bed now. Hope everyone finds us ok. Sleep well

And all BD's.

Yes I have sat nav on my phone but it keeps telling me to turn left when I was sure I needed right. I ignored it and got on the right road no problem.

this couple do a lot of wonderful prayer songs (Stay with me)

Wyllow3 this couple sing some beautiful songs. I'm finding it very relaxing. Thanks.

Doodle thank you. I am trying to get to art today. 🙏 Its just a demonstration, so doesn't require energy to paint.
Wishing you all a good day.x

I'm really not good with satnavs, *EllieAnne, despite family "get a satnav". I print out maps..then when really stuck just stop and consult google maps on my mobile.
I'm also good at simply...asking people, a forgotten skill 🙄

Are they not wonderful, nadateturbe. Full of love and her voice is clear and well sort of hope. I like the "Tis a gift to be simple". (Not religious)

I hope you get to enjoy the demonstration. Sounds good.

Today....well, trying to catch up, on so much, and a new demand on time, but one very happy to give. Friend F out of hospital and wanting visitors nice.

Still in dressing gown. and I will have a sleep too.

to maybe not

Just got a massage from Unfortunately Quaker D is off her trolley demanding I answer her and accusing me of snitching on her blah blah. Will ask usual suspects for help. 🙏

D is heading for a MH breakdown, more firefighting all round, (no I am not a goddess who will meet up with her and Forgive All, and my tooth is not sorted so thats me in bed with tramadol if necessary, dentist tomorrow.... exhaustion and still a messy house. I have blocked her WhatsApps of course and wish I had done so when DocSis wisely advised!

It never rains...well I'm hardly the only BD feeling that xx

Scaredycat You must be getting to see a vast area every day. Its good you dont have the trouble of driving. Hope you haven't had too many 'walks of shame' to deal with and are comfy with that now.
EllieAnne Im glad your DH is getting the cate he needs now. Wonder why hes not got antibiotics yet - guess there will be a good reason for that though. It must be hard driving every day - sat-navs can be a mixed blessing. They've let us down at times too. Look after yourself as your friends say. HVDY is right- treat yourself while you're at home .
HVDY You had a really good natter there to your friend. Some people are so easy to talk to aswell. You sound like one of those people. Its nice your son is close to his dad like that and they go out together.
We've had squirrels her and 2 beautiful Jays visit all through the day a Woodpecker, Tree Creeper, Robin and Wren. We bought bird food to put out - its lovely to watch them.
Doodle Hope you're OK and have had a good day. Glad youve been getting out to Garden Centre with friends.
We went to Keswick yesterday and walked a little by the lake . DH was adamant to try and walk to Friars Crag/seat ( half a mile from Theatre car-park) . He stopped so many times and was struggling so much - my heart felt so heavy for him. Its frightening to see how someone can go down so much from being quite healthy. I know you understand. We got there and shall never forget the pleasure of that walk evenso ...
Wyllow You had a lovely Quaker meeting yesterday and now you have all this messy business to contend with. Dont let it set you back - maybe your sis is right and dont let those Wattsapps reach you. You have some lovely people around you - your gardener and cleaner are 2 of them clearly.
Nadateturbe I only listened to the Na- da- te- turbe yesterday. I like the Gift to. be Simple song - we sang that at school.
Haven't heard it since then ,apart from on here. Glad you were able to get out to art yesterday even if you didnt have the energy to paint. Must be so isolating for you at home all the time.

Sun got out yesterday when we went to
Derwentwater. Sunny day here today for first time all day. Out for brunch then spent some time in the garden here reading as its so lovely. Nice day tomorrow so we will got to Tarn Hows to see Autimn coloured trees. Tum was bad and had to sleep a bit earlier but OK now.
Sun is getting lower over the fells and clouds in sky quite a contrast .
Try and send a photo ,plus yesterday from Friars Crag.

Hoping for peaceful night for all BDs.x

Think a bird of prey ,maybe Kite or Buzzard ,caught in photo just taken now from cottage.

Yesterday- Friars Crag.

Sorry , here they are.

Love your photos Sweetpeasue.
Got to art demo. Rested in car during coffee break. Good to be out with people.

Glad you managed to get to art Nadateturbe Good idea to have your car to escape to during that break. It must be draining to have to make an effort talking to people when you have such an extremely low energy. Take care of yourself now.

Aw Sweetpeasue - thank you for the lovely descriptions and photographs. I shall get a magic carpet to pop over. Despite all, this place lifts your spirits and I am so very very glad.

Hey well done nadateturbe, yay, treasure today, there will be more, just you need the patience of a saint.

Yes had a sleep with extra tranx help and tooth in difficulties. It will hit me as of course it brings back the whole b**** thing - October 12th last year. All the same of course I wish healing for D. I'm imaging her under the care of the same people as me claiming this or that but well my notes and the psychiatrist do rather know any other POV.

A is very supportive. Despite his difficulties.

Wyllow3 Thanks for starting the thread - I didn't know how to do it. I'd be inclined to ignore Quaker D and block her number. Let her find someone else to help. Toothache is horrible - have you managed to get an appointment?

ScaredyCat You must be seeing quite a few places. Hope the weather is good.

SweetpeaSue Your photos are beautiful. Isn't nature superb?

nadateturbe Glad you managed to go to your art class. Look after yourself.

EllieAnne Hope you're ok, and that your husband is doing alright.

Lazy day - I like to have a couple of days a week when I don't wear make-up. The GP I spoke to last week has been in touch - he'd contacted the hospital to ask if I could try the diuretic I'd suggested. The reply was yes, so I'll collect the prescription in a couple of days and hope that it will suit me this time. Love to ALL x

*Ellie Anne*I agree some of the routes are strange. I use Waze which I find quite good. Any news on when your DH’s op will be?
Wyllow oh dear I’m sorry D is going through some trauma but you’ve had enough to deal with on your own. Good idea to block her. Hope she gets the help she needs. Sorry about your tooth. So painful. When are you seeing the dentist?
nadateturbe so glad you got to the art demo. Are you able to paint at home if you take it slowly?
Good news HVDY hope the new diuretic helps and doesn’t have any side effects.
Sweetpeaaue glad you’re getting some happy memories. Your walk sounds lovely. Such a shame your Dh is struggling so much. Hope the rest of your holiday goes well
What beautiful photos. So atmospheric
Scaredycat hope you are coping well with the coach trips and enjoying your trip.
Had a busy day today. Church this morning. Coffee with friends this afternoon and sketching tomorrow’s art this evening. Sleep well all

I hope the prescription works, HVDY.

How to find new BD threads:
Go onto "Health" forum, and there we are.

I didn't get a call back from Dentists as expected, I will chase them tomorrow morning.

May tomorrow's art group be a lovely one, Doodle

A new discovery. Just saw it, grabbed it last night, and love it so much ordered a multipack from Amazon.

Tin of...gin, rhubarb, ginger 5%. well, if you like rhubarb and ginger.....

Doodle Enjoy your art tomorrow- Id be hopeless at sketching anything.
HVDY Hope your new Diuretics are helpful. Googling those was a good idea.
Wyllow So sorry , I missed your tooth problem. Sounds really horrible- hope you can get in touch with that dentist tomorrow. They often have emergency appts available - they really should have got back to you.

Doodle Thanks. Your day sounded very nice.

Wyllow3 Thanks. I knew how to find the new thread but didn't know how to start one. Enjoy your new purchase . I wish I like gin, as there are so many different flavours nowadays. I rarely drink these days, though.

SweetpeaSue Google is great for finding information on just about everything.

News today is not good. I don’t know what the scan showed but he’s been told he might lose toes or even a foot.
The doctor wants to see me tomorrow been to see my gds in their school show tonight. Wizard of oz.

EllieAnne You had a nice evening, seeing your GDs in their play, but you must be concerned about what your husband is facing. I hope the news won't be as drastic as that.

Sweetpeasue I m hopeless at sketching things too 🤣 I enjoy the classes. It’s the company that’s so good really. Hope you’ve had a good day.
HVDY have you got your new meds yet? Hope they help.
Ellie Anne I’m sorry about the news of your Dh. Must be a shock for him too, let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.
Bet you got emotional seeing your DGDs in a show,,Always brought a lump to my throat,
Wyllow have you contacted the dentist yet. Hope youve got an appointment.
Scaredycat hope the trip is going well, when do you get back.
Art was nice this morning then had afternoon tea at church which was lovely too,
