A different lifestyle

I’ve decided that I am trying a different lifestyle. Except for special events I am going to turn off the electronics at 10pm and sleep by 11pm. After 9pm my phone will be off in my wind down time.

I tried this last night, almost worked except that I woke up at 03:30 and needed to get up as my mind was too active to sleep. Half hour later I went back to sleep again so, getting there.

My weight gain could be over eating, it could be the statins I am on but, it doesn’t matter what causes it ‘I’ have to change it. Since I lost weight I have now regained 8 lbs and feel like I’ve totally let myself down. MY clothes feel tight and I feel too heavy. Again, could be the statins but most likely the weight gain is causing aches and pains, none of this is good.

I am going to be actively avoiding stressful situations. If I don’t want to deal with something a certain day then I’ll just put it off until another day and deal with it then. Me time is not going to be a luxury because it is clearly an essential part of daily living.

My general fitness is low so I need to absolutely be back at the gym working out. I suspect a diet of chicken, rice and eggs is on the cards.

I most sincerely do hope that me and Dennis can submit the visa application soon, all the waiting is stressing me. I want it to be in and I want a positive outcome. I think both me and Dennis deserve some happiness.

What can you do?

As much as I enjoy biscuits, eating out, coffee, cakes, and so on, I need to say no, it’s easier not to be asked. Offer me only healthy stuff then I can say yes and everyone is happy!

Don’t ask me to do anything unless there are no other options. I’ll nearly always say yes whenever possible despite the damage it does to me. I need some help saying no.

If I offer to do something for you then see that as partly for me too, I need to be useful but I am working things into what also is in my best interest too. Things I can do which are good for me as well as you. Robin, if I offer to push you in a wheelchair sometimes, go with it, it’s me having a mobile workout! Chris, if I offer to go looking at cars with you, I LOVE looking at cars and I am walking about, another workout whilst chilling doing what I enjoy doing. I know it helps others and they feel like perhaps a burden but I’ve got it sorted and I will tell you if you’re being a pain in the arse so don’t worry! If I don’t tell you then you’re not! Sometimes I just like to hang out because it declutters my mind and that’s not even a word but I think it works! Sometimes it gives me the chance to voice my worries and your input is important to me. I did a Viber group thing earlier and felt so much better afterwards, I didn’t feel like I was carrying the UK side of the weight on my own.

If I ask directly for help, please do if you can, I wouldn’t ask if I didn’t need it.

You Bloody Idiot

I had a really enjoyable time in Meltham with Stan and Pete, even that walk against the wind up the pub on Saturday evening in a blizzard was fun. On the way there I thought it’d be fun to take some pictures of the car in the snow. I had not realised just how windy it was, I seriously thought my door was stuck when I tried to open it but it was just being pressurised by the forces outside. I am lucky really the wind had not been behind me else the door would have been ripped off. On the way back on Sunday I paid a visit to Sue in Sheffield. I like Sue and she is a great conversationalist. The journey was not without incident as the satnav kept failing and crashing and just became useless. I eventually tracked the problem down to the loudspeaker connection for the mount and once I’d removed that it was stable and guided me well to Sue’s door. I am really happy to report that the steroid injection I had last week as helped ease my pain. I still have the pain but it is not restricting me ...

Budget Day

So, we have the ‘Let’s buy a whole host of gullible voters day’ with George Osborne. No doubt we’ll be told how employment is rising, how the deficit is falling, how we’re all so much better off now than we were (compared to what?). We’ll be told that there are still tough times ahead but that only a Conservative government can steer us through them. It will be pointed out how inflation remains low, how not raising duty on fuel has helped everyone as is seen by the current lower prices at the pumps (it’s going up again George). In short, I should listen to this budget later and decide to vote Conservative in May but, I won’t. Labour certainly did nothing to avoid the mess the country got in but they didn’t cause it. They made the mistake of trying to be too conservative, allowing high finance the freedom to cause a catastrophic cock up for which they took zero responsibility. They made the mistake of allowing Gordon Brown to take the job of Prime Minister, one for which he is totally...

There are some funny people in this world!

Earlier on this year someone added me on Facebook. Quite soon she was adding many people I knew. We were starting to wonder who this was as there was so little on her profile. To be on the safe side and, suspecting it may be someone pretending to be someone else, I was careful what I wrote to them. Eventually, it did become very obvious it was someone faking a profile. I challenged them to stay if they wanted but, today they deleted the profile. I have never done anything to upset this person, I just exist. She added me and my family just to take the piss out of us and to try and get extra ammunition to use against my friends, it is all rather sad. Speaking of sad … Look, I fully understand that James has issues, what they are, I don’t have a clue but he has them and it is for Daisy and him to sort out. I think Daisy would have liked to sort it out between them but, it seems, they are going to have to take the legal route. I totally get all that. I don’t like it but – such is life....
