Morning All!
It's just another Manic Monday
Yesterday: BUSY, but a good morning doing the church service online. Tured rest of day and couldnt sleep in afternoon. Sinuses poor, and severa falls.
Today: L starts teaching a new course online - three weeks only. She SHOULD have been going away but obviously isn't now. First of Three prayer meetings tonight.
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses & CMT improve and head copes OK. Pray colds go. Pray we stay protected from the virus.
Have a good day, stay safe & well.

Mental health not great currently due to a combo of weird persisting health stuff that is not fully known, self-isolation and worrying about going back to work. Struggling to do anything. I understand why lockdown is happening and think it's the right thing to do. Does take away some of my coping mechanisms though. Has to be done though.

Morning All!
It's Tuesday.
Yesterday: Busy. Liz's teaching went well, enjoyed the three Prayer meetings I did, one of which was very different. Ratchet & Lifeline arrived as did my Repugnus, Pesticons and some sundry older TFs. Also got the shotgun coax we need :-)
Sinuses and cold still bad :-(
Today: J out this morning at a group, then with his grandparents while he still can, and another group again this evening. Nervous about that one as it's newly restarting and he'll be coming into contact with a variety of kids.
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses & CMT improve and head copes OK. Pray colds go. Pray we stay protected from the virus, especially J at his groups.
Have a good day, stay safe & well.

Morning All!
It's Wednesday!
Yesterday: Wearing. J's multiple trips out, one to a group he'd not been to since Feb, and too much going on at times were wearing on my head. Far too much hand washing :-( But the shotgun coax is up, the Freesat is wired in and all we're waiting for is and F-Type to RF convertor to be able to do the roof aerial (Could we find my stash of RF connectors? NOPE! There's half a dozen in the house SOMEWHERE)
Sinuses weren't fun, and still wobbly.
Today: Another group for J this morning. Need to do food order for tomorrow. Due to go out early this evening for Jonathan & his Grandma's early birthday tea, but that'll depend on how the body is doing. Oddly enough it's my half birthday today, from hereon I get closer my next than my previous one. Last of three nights of Prayer tonight.
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses & CMT improve and head copes OK. Pray we stay protected from the virus.
Have a good day, stay safe & well.

39 threads updated in the last 22 hours?! That must be a new record. Plenty of catching up to do once school work is finished.

Morning All!
It's Thursday.
Yesterday: Not a good day. Head struggled quite a bit. Then the sinuses started hurting, probably the most painful they'd been. Then the teeth joined in too, which can happen with sinus pain and has happened before - the teeth pain was slightly mobile round the back teeth on the area really affected by the sinuses which was a clue. Struggling with this one, the nerve sensitivity is at it's best round my face so really feeling this.
Pain bad during night. Sitting there feeling it moving was most odd. Not good this morning.
On this particular Thursday: shopping in, bins out.
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses & tooth pain calms down, the CMT is OK and the head copes better. Pray we stay protected from the virus.
Have a good day, stay safe & well.

Yup but he specifically said no one will be asked to shield. What an arse.

Morning All!
It's Friday, It's Five to Five, It's...
Yesterday: MUCH better day than Wednesday, for head sinuses and teeth. Thank You Lord, and Thanks to all who prayed. Tiny bit of pain still but nowhere near what it was. Food coming in went fine, took it really slow. Sorted through TV wiring. Slept through Amazon allegedly trying to deliver my new wireless KB.
Today: Face a bit more painful this morning. Chip shop lunch, not sure what else. Hopefully the F-Type to RF convertor will turn up to enable finish the TV.
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, head & teeth continue to improve and CMT does OK. Pray we stay protected from the virus.
Have a good day, stay safe & well.

This Is Saturday, Watch And Smile
Yesterday: Decent. TV sorted.... well the booster didn't work but the cable from the wall was fine sans booster and failed when the booster's out lead was directly connected so I think I've just got a dodgy cable. Curtains Up in living room, first time since Feb, and very nice new curtains they are too. Sinus and Teeth pain up a bit since Thurs but still way down on Weds and still very mobile. VERY odd sensation.
Today: Saturday so quiet day I hope. Zoom Mum this afternoon and on with the TMUK guys tonight.
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, head & teeth continue to improve and CMT does OK. Pray we stay protected from the virus.
Have a good day, stay safe & well.

Plumbing stuff today. Lots of so many plumbings.
Did you know 'plumb/plumbing' comes from the Roman (latin) wordfor lead?

Did you know 'plumb/plumbing' comes from the Roman (latin) wordfor lead? Yes, since chemistry at school taught us that the symbol for lead was Pb, standing for 'plumbum', which I found highly amusing. And lead is of course the perfect material for pipes carrying drinking water! (Not.) Martin

Just to check... you do know that isn't really lead, right?
It's a bit like sprouts.

Please explain to me how sprouts are analogous to lead in my pencil.

Morning All!
It's Sunday - Praise the Lord
Yesterday: Mostly went well apart from SOMEONE (whose name begns with a J) not wanting to do the hoovering and the shelving unit I built falling apart as we moved it into place! Good chats with Mum and the TMUK people. Face and teeth not too bad mostly, but tummy achy overnight: the Shepherd's poie for lunch probably to blame.
Today: Prayer meeting and church today.
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, head & teeth continue to improve and CMT does OK. Pray we stay protected from the virus.
Have a good day, stay safe & well.
