What will you do if your self-isolating?

[pepparuby1]

Mollie will continue to sleep in her flower basket and eat when called, run around the garden for a bit... me - well I’m a psychotherapist so I work from home seeing clients.... I now have offered zoom.us video and it’s working for some but not all.

I think some people still think this is only for two weeks 🤷‍♀️. I’m so grateful to still be able to earn money and keep busy - I’m definitely going to start gardening early on and that has to be my exercise.

I seem to be on here rather a lot but I have time now and really enjoy your posts !

Love Pepparuby and Mollie xxx

Peppar,i reckon you are going to treble your clients overnight given some of the anxiety witnessed on this site,some may need several sessions and medication to boot.

Slightly deranged Ski's and a mad Scruff's xx

Haha - well I’m not as busy as I was three weeks ago - but I’m grateful for this mee time - even had time to ring tax man about my delayed tax refund!

Well I’m regular blogging on social

Media so they know where I am.

Yes I’m grounding myself - if you want scruff to have a session with Mollie in between her sleeps that’s fine 😊

Scruff's is beyond treatment,nutty as a fruitcake,bit like her slave i'm afraid. x

Good day pepparuby

Wonderful you can see clients using zoom.

Love your cats

Well today I was intending to clean bathroom top to bottom ha ha, but the sun has just come out so I am about to head into the garden.

I planted seeds last week, lettuce, spinach, kale, peas, carrots and tomatoes. Never had much luck with the carrots but I am giving it another try. The seeds are in the greenhouse except the tomato seeds which I bought inside and put on a sunny window, to my delight they are beginning to sprout already

Have a wonderful day

I will continue doing what I've been doing for the last four years. Limp into my kitchen to look out onto our once beautiful garden - now a jungle. Wait for the post/Tesco Delivery/my prescription delivery. Eat, drink (I'm T-total) and try to sleep (difficult- due to pain). Have a happy self isolation.

[pepparuby1 in reply to Hidden]

Oh wow prescription delivery - why haven’t I got that now? You’ve turned on a light bulb moment thank you

Stay safe x

My wife makes toy animals with full wardrobes. Her grand daughter loves them so she as brought a book with complete range of animals to make. She plans to make them all for birthdays and Christmas etc. Her Knit and Natter club is going to be done online can video link so that they can still chat and her friends will have a coffee with her using the same method.

Great idea - my friend is isolating and a knitter she may like this!!!

I love the photo of your cat. I had to put mine to sleep just before Christmas. Seeing the photo reminds me of her as she was 21 years old and I miss her dearly. Id love to have another cat but times are difficult at the moment.

I'm hoping the weather warms up a bit so that I can do a little work in the garden. I like being outdoors and am sure the next months are going to be difficult for us all.

Oh that’s sad you lost your fur baby to 🌈 bridge. Gosh 21 though - how amazing is that - a good life you gave her the best life. I’m sure there’s a rescue waiting for a home like yours!! My cats are 13 this year - I can’t imagine life without them 😊

Hello Mollie, I love your photo you look very cosy in your little basket. A real heart melter. 😊 xx

[pepparuby1]

Thank you it’s cosy for me 😬

Online Yoga, some meditation.....and running around the field next to me to keep fit...kind of wish I had a cat now

[pepparuby1 in reply to Justdoit2015]

Brilliant idea I missed my yoga today simply because I can’t go out now so my daughter downloaded an app that she can share with me - forgot the name but yoga is great for grounding and mindfulness

One thing copd does is it allows you to value time, this self isolating dilemma really is almost just another day .when we where all young and healthy time was something we battled against, ( there never really was enough of it) we where always going to work, allocating time for this contract or that estimate , (in my 40 yrs of working once I got bored with a job I moved on ) wanting more time with my family ,most of the time just arranging a " date night" was more complex planning than d day , but now life is more sedate ,less stressful less demanding , I enjoy the simple things much more these days , feeding and watching wild birds in my garden , a smile off a loved one or a stranger come to that, the company of friends and sometimes just the simple pleasure of being alive ,

As to activities to do whilst isolated we should all just read a book, we all get the same story but we all visualise its characters and locations differently , the story if its good will transport you to exotic, perilous,romantic or life threatening situations but all from the safety of out favourite chair , I'm passed jigsaw,board games and computer games I leave to my grandchildren, I do think I might butcher a few landscapes and take up painting again ( painting by numbers sounds just right at the moment, lol) but I'm sure most people will agree self isolating is the easy part of life with copd .

Have a good day PR1.
