Morning All,
Wednesday. Yesterday didn't go as well as Monday: Head not quite as good, weather slightly cooler, pain slightly up, Sinuses nagging and tummy not being happy..... all little things but it added up. I will acknowledge Monday was exceptional and I know it'll be up & down for a while yet.
Today is food delivery, which is stressing me, and Homegroup via Zoom tonight.
Pray head and everything works better today - especially the Sinuses and tummy - and food delivery goes OK.
Hope you're all safe & well out here.

Will be praying for your head especially. Food delivery will go well. We have had a number and no problems as I imagine has been your experience as well. Keep it chilled. Yourself as well as any fridge/freezer items.

Out of habit, I checked the news first thing as I usually do. Saw the news about the job retention scheme and my body has now tensed up in agony and back to where it was two weeks ago. Jen will now make sure I leave the phone in the living room at night so I don't do it again.

My head is not currently in a good place and pain high today. Too much worry. Having to snooze anyone on FB who posts about the Current Situation too.

Morning All!
Thursday: shall I do the HHGTTG joke again?
Wednesday was good, nearly up to Monday levels. Since it involved food coming into the house that's a big plus. One of my parcels from Hong Kong that I'd all but given up on turned up and the other is in the Swindon mail centre, it's ransom fee paid. Also spoke to someone who'd used the same drug I'm on with identical side effects
Don't think anything major is on the agenda for today.
Pray for continued protection, that the drug continues to work and that the Sinusitis continues to shift.
Stay safe & well

Woke up with toothache at 3am so had to deploy co-codomol. This has worked but left me feeling whoozy and unpleasantly spaced out. Been getting chest pains so waiting on a GP call this morning. Trying to stay awake so I don't miss it.

Spent the morning in Tameside Hospital being checked out. Apparently physically fine and chest pains on left side may be stress related. Will follow up with GP next week.
Bit of a fright. Hearing the words: "you may have had a heart attack and not known it" during the GP surgery phone call was not a good moment.
Definitely need to put more urgent thought into changing jobs ASAP when lockdown lifts. Not just for my sake: there are two of us to think about now and I can't just think about myself. A scary morning.
I have snoozed or unfollowed anyone on FB who posts about COVID and anything to do with it and taken the BBC News app off my phone. Unfollowed all news sites.

Morning all,
Thursday started well following on from Wednesday but, thanks to a couple of minor things, went down hill from lunch time. The downs are to be expected with the drug I'm on but shouldn't be as bad as they were before I started them. Still down this morning, pray I come back up and that we continue to be protected physically and mentally.
Hope you're all OK - stay safe and well.

Youtube now a site I can't use anymore on the TV. The front page is wall to wall Current Situation stuff. Took the app off the phone.
Fridge is playing up. Not chilling enough. Worried all the new shopping will go off.

Fridge has been at full setting. No cold air. Moved things around. No result. Suspect it is same problem as in last flat when the condenser went and the unit needed replaced. If I owned it I would just do that but it's owned by the agency and no one can come to look at it due to The Current Situation. Nowt we can do. So annoying as literally just filled it with fresh food, milk etc to last a fortnight. Now a lot of it will be ruined. The butter is already mush. The big problem is that I need a lot of milk due to a health issue but nowt can be done.
Also got a fly problem but good fly spray sold out online. Will have to venture to shops tomorrow.
Tooth ache is on and off. Suspect sensitivity problem. Had this before where enamal had rubbed off and dentist sorted it...but no dental appts due to The Current Situation. I hadn't bothered registering one yet as I am moving in August to different area and planned to do that then. Not much I can do except think good thoughts and cut back on sugar.
Bit of a stressful week. Comics tomorrow, I think.
-Ralph

Sometimes I stop and wonder, why toys? Everyone has hobbies and interests but there's a huge variety. Why don't I play an instrument? Go bird spotting? Compete in archery competitions? Why is that I spend so much of my time thinking about and fiddling with toys?

Morning All,
This is Saturday, Wear A Smile!
Yeah, think yesterday went OK, even though I was cooking and it was bin day. Tired at the end of it but a more CMT tired. And good news from a friend in hospital.
TMUK Zoom tonight. Pray for a calm relaxed day, that the Sinusitis retreats and continued protection.
