Thankyou for sharing, the adequate sleep part is difficult ( i have a 3 year old!!) very cute cartoon though 😀

in reply toSydgal

However having a 3 year old is tough but such a lovely delight 😊

How's it going Trish? Is it raining all over the world? Hehe.

in reply toBootandall

It's not raining yet but will be! 🙄🙄

On the me front! I'm not really sure, I think my existing cysts in both kidneys might be having another flare up as woke with slight pain in both kidney areas plus visiting the loo more too ! Hey ho ! Hey ho !

I must keep 😊😊😊

I think l might have gotten too big a build up. I've been told it takes time to get the hang of it.

Ah ......be patient! 🙄

If only my husband could sleep, and exercise is out of the question he needs two new knees ☹️ Not sure about the healthy diet he only seems to want sweets and biscuits now 🙁

in reply toBs1524

Don't forget you have a liver - it's not all about him! How was your day? :-)

Not bad had a mad dash out to get some more heamarroid suppositories as he had lost the ones prescribed for him??? He seems very down and really unwell. I did get to spend a few hours with my granddaughters though which was lovely.

How are you?

in reply toBs1524

I'm sorry to hear about the need for shopping - but pleased you have granddaughters to love. There's no good bits about liver disease except enjoying the good stuff in our lives all the more when we know what unease is all about?

5 out of 6 today. (didn't get a check up!) Saw one of those brown trays from inside a chocolate box in a ditch while walking. It was empty. (Luckily) :-)

in reply to

Wow! That's excellent news on the 5 out of 6 ! Me 3 out of 6 so its 👎. Will try better tomorrow 😊.

in reply to

My Fail6 is a bad one though. Not seen liver-doc for over a year. Also, I'm sure you do more exercise than do I even on your duvet days :-) :-)

in reply to

I just love duvet days now and then👍

About an hour ago I'd been feeling really guilty for sitting on my butt and not exercising, so I started to think, what have I been doing today!!!!

Well I didnt go to the gym as planned even thou I crawled into my gym gear👎. Instead I cooked breakfast and cleared away👍. I then went outside and filled up 3 wheelie bins full on leaves from the driveway! 👍I then did 2 loads of washing👍 I then prepared and cooked dinner after popping to our local farm shop for some veg👍 After dinner I cleaned the kitchen and the OVEN too 😁 this was definately not on my list of things to do on a Sunday👍

Finally I cooked hubby some cheese on toast for tea before crashing out on the sofa in my onesies whilst still feeling guilty that I'd done nothing today 👎👎👎

Do you or anyone else ever feel they've done nothing with there day when they actually have !'

Confused Trish signing off!'

PS I forgot to mention that a 4 foot long x 2 foot wide picture frame fell off my hallway wall and smashed spreading glass everywhere ! This had to be cleared away which hubby helped with, so another vacuum jobbie 👍

I wonder how many calories I burnt off today ???? Emmm🤔🤔🤔

Now for some F1 highlights 🤣🤣🤣

in reply to

I'd be boasting how much I'd done if I did as much as you did today. But though I do much less, I really and truly do as much as I can on most days. Most days I can't do much after 4pm. Some days, maybe 2 or 3 in a row every 7 or 8 weeks, I can do nothing but lounge, make hot drinks and eat stuff I don't need to cook to avoid taking drugs on empty stomach. :-)

Filistines the Xmas movies are on now, bums on seats and feet up xxxx

in reply toP13jne

I know, I heard you and Trish talk about it so I tuned in and have seen Mrs Miracle 3 times in a week!!! It was very relaxing. Even the first time you see a Christmas film you can guess everything that will happen, what they'll say next and how it will end but it is still irresistible watching!! :-)

When I’m glittering I’ve got Xmas tunes blasting. Except when Alexa decides to be a witch.... xx

Such a wonderful picture in my mind😊

Sharing is caring. 👍

Love the cartoon!!

Hubby - the one with cirrhosis - 5 out of 6 - uninterrupted night time sleep is a dream we both have - naps don't quite do it.

He is now getting a sort of check up every 2 out of 3 weds while chemo is on - made his first on Nov 6, low bloods for the 2nd so this is his off week - the doc is tweeking his meds to [hopefully] help his blood - hope Hubby remembers to have them check with his liver doctor.

Wishing all a good week,

Mary

P13jne in reply to

Oh you know me sooooo well Filistines. But since it’s the festive season, I also have an odd mince pie 🎅🏻🤶🏻 and piece of shortbread. I’ve got to get calories from somewhere. How’re you doing my lovely. Jane xx

in reply toP13jne

Aaaaaah! I was ok-ish til you mentioned mince pies and shortbread. I try not to have any til Christmas week... I was tempted to roast some chestnuts today, but just thought about it and didn't do it. (not so many carbs in just thinking) :-) Your granddaughter's first Christmas. How lovely x

Hmmm I had a Starbucks hazelnut latte, almost the same, eh? 🤣🤣😂 go on get those nuts roasted. Jane xx

in reply toP13jne

Been in bed since 10. Ate some oatmeal and black pepper crackers to stop my body eating itself overnight... eugh! I won't eat (or move) til 0545 now, that's when I wake up.

You failed the Healthy Food and Exercise 🤣 it's a Sunday ...a day of rest ......

I just love this chart 🤗

P13jne in reply to

Yes, I failed 😔 hope you’re good Trish. Need a call soon. I’m away in 2 weeks. Will catch you before then my lovely, Jane xx

in reply toP13jne

Morning Jane,

Cheers and look forward to catch up!

On me front, off to docs this morning with water sample as another kidney infection has flared up👎otherwise ticky- ta -boo as a sort!

Xxxx

Could someone pop along to my place and tell my 4 year old about the adequate sleep part? It takes me longer to get my phone to 100% than it does for him to recharge his battery.
