Thing is running away from problems doesn't solve them!

The hardest bit of tackling problems is admitting to them and acknowledging them!

The other day I did a post about what I have decided to do to address my fears of things coming through the door and what I decided on was should I be in in the day and the things come then fair enough I will open them and deal with them in an appropriate manner when things can be dealt with if need be when places are open which I think is a fair deal.

One thing that won't happen is no opening post after say 5pm or whatever time I come in in the evenings when the places are closed and nothing can be done say if there's bad news like back in 2022 in the July when everyone got those eviction letters through the post that Thursday and it was 8pm when I got back and silly me had opened it then!

If I had my time again I would have taken the letter, put it to the side and dealt with it at 8.30 am the following morning when most places open for the day.

Same with Saturday and pre Bank holiday post I will pick the items up and put them on the side and deal with them at 8.30am the following Monday or Tuesday when the places are open again!

Point is theres no point in getting upset over things you can't do anything about and at 8.30 on a weekday morning you are nice and refreshed and can tackle any bad news there and then whereas after 5 and on a weekend you are tired and nothing can be done when the places are shut!

How are you and Prince Pixie getting on?

Baby is great and still getting spoilt!

At least with colitis it's easy to treat and they can give you the right treatment now!

I remember crying in relief when I got discharged from the chest clinic back in 2018 after an outpatients appointment with the specialist after my spirometry was normal so no point bringing me back to clinic!

One of my friends at swimming had to go to that chest clinic quite recently to see the specialist and he had told her they were sorry there's nothing they can do for her except relieve her symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis rather than cure it like they did for me when I had blood clots in the lungs.

I remember first meeting her and offering her an aniseed cough candy to help as she was having a coughing fit and that's 2 years back now.

Stress doesn't exactly help matters does it?

It's lots of things that build up over time that makes us ill I have found myself.

After I had the blood clots in the lungs back in 2017 ever since then health has come first for me as well!

This morning the post came and went about 8.50am nothing for us so no problems there!

It's swimming at 12.30pm today and a walk in the park as well and a cooked breakfast which I haven't had for ages!

Another thing I feel I have done well at is how I have improved with dealing with unreliable people by not relying on them and when they do honour their commitments then I am delighted but I do feel that it was pointless to upset myself over them and nowadays when they say they are going to do all these things say yes OK then and not expect anything from them and walk away and let the matter drop saving myself the heartbreak of getting let down by unreliable people who lie and don't honour their commitments!

Point is if you don't want to do something just say an honest no that's not possible then no one is waiting for things that aren't going to happen and getting upset.

Thing is with unreliable people if you don't want to do something just say no don't lie and play with people's lives!

Yes it was a shock when they said I had blood clots in my lungs at a and e and they were keeping me in overnight to keep an eye on me!

By accident I feel it was a favour as it stopped me from having pursued a lifestyle that I didn't like that made me miserable same as being evicted did as by accident when they did that they had taken me away from a place where I was miserable!

Things are a lot better now and I really enjoyed my swim earlier on and had sandwiches outside in the park to make the most of the nice weather!

Tomorrow we have decided to go for Sunday lunch at the Fox and Hounds pub which we are looking forward to as a treat as we stayed in for lunch last Sunday as we had gone out for lunch on the Saturday so had done a compromise!

That other pub where they did the carvery where stupid people were making comments about how much I put on the plate in my view are cheap at any price!

I thought I was being silly and overreacting when I was angry over those comments over how much I put on the plate and it's nice to know no I wasn't as its rude no matter what your shape and size is!
