Laughter 😹

[Painny]

Good morning or good night to all

I hardly cook but yesterday I managed to make organic rice with organic beetroot and barberries. To spoil myself I made a venison burger to go with the rice. (I know I have a strange diet) 😻 Photo attached.

5 mins before having my lunch I poured the boiling hot water into a cup as I don’t drink tea or coffee. Literally second later I started drinking the water without realising the cup is still hot. I burned my mouth and could not taste my lunch because of my own S.t.u.p.i.d action

BRAIN FOG DID IT FOR ME 🤕🤕🤕🤕😰😥 LOOKING BACK I FIND IT FUNNY BUT NOT AT THE TIME 😅😢😀😢😇🙃

Arghhhh Ouchy, I don’t know if to laugh 😂 or cry 😢 for you.Our brain fog is a pain in the booty.

Take care today. 🤗

[Painny in reply to Hidden]

For sure, I think our brain has got a mind of its own separate from the body. Let’s laugh and cry at the same time 😻😿😅😀🥵🥵

[Hidden in reply to Painny]

😂😭 lol

Good morning to you, Painny. Lovely picture. Sorry you couldn’t taste your dish after all the work you put in to it. I have a tendency to put a just poured hot cup of coffee in the microwave….luckily never drank it before I realized what I had done. Still working on how to prevent that from happening. 🤔I love venison. 🤝 Have a great recipe for using it in chili. 😋At least I think I do. 😂

[fenbadger in reply to Isinatra]

not a problem for me. I usually find keys in the microwave.

[Isinatra in reply to fenbadger]

A good secure place for them. Look on the bright side. 😂

[fenbadger in reply to Isinatra]

so good I often can't find them

[Painny in reply to fenbadger]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL COULD NOT STOP LAUGHING 😂 X

[Painny in reply to Isinatra]

Thanks IsinatraWhat are we like ? We just exit for the sake of it 🤔🤔🤯🤯 I will try a dish with a bit if chili next time. Apparently Venison is better than other red meats. I only manage eating meat once a month Xx

👍🏼

[fenbadger in reply to Painny]

I sometimes go for buffalo. Apparently much the same as beef but with health and environmental benefits. It's lovely.

Can you imagine a badger stalking a buffalo?

[Painny in reply to fenbadger]

Hmmmm, ye I can imagine 😹😻

[fenbadger in reply to Painny]

😂😂😂😂😂

😓 I hope your tastebuds have recovered. The rice looks delicious and sounds a perfect combo with a venison burger. Cooking a complete meal is definitely an achievement to celebrate.

[Painny in reply to Callyv]

Too right and thanks xx

[fenbadger]

ouch. Hope you're ok now? I wouldnt find it funny either

[Painny in reply to fenbadger]

Take a while to recover from the burning tissue in mouth…okayish, thanks xx

[Sally444]

Hi Painny. That sounds super painful! I hope your mouth is recovering. Your dinner looks lovely by the way....it's making me hungry!! I do so many daft things that I have to laugh otherwise I think I'd have been sectioned by now. I was talking to my neighbour yesterday and every time I needed to mention a person....I couldn't remember their names. I don't know why. She was then asking about my medication (she has Lupus) and I couldn't remember that either! Thankfully, she has the same brain fog so fully understands but it can be so embarrassing. So I just try to laugh it off. 😂

[Painny in reply to Sally444]

Hi Sally, thank you for laughing with me and relating to our shared stories. Imagine pouring and sipping boiling hot water down into your gullet 🥵🥵🥵🥵 oh man o man it was painful. It took me even a few seconds before stopping what I was doing as if I had a dead brain 🧠

In all seriousness it’s mind blowing to see what our brain is doing to us! Sometimes I feel the same and would prefer being sectioned as I’m already sectioned by staying at home, not socialising etc etc. It’s so good when somebody like your neighbour understands what you go through but generally the prejudice against us makes me speechless. Even explaining my situation before embarking on a conversation would not make any difference to narrow minded people.

I get you my dear and bless your heart ❤️ 🥀🌹

[Sally444 in reply to Painny]

I can only imagine the pain! Ouch!!! I find that if I'm hurting myself (by lifting a hot tray for example), the pain registers but your brain doesn't tell you what to do about it for quite a while! It is very odd what the brain does...quite fascinating but also very frustrating sometimes. And yes, I know what you mean about people not understanding. I find that my family and friends are very good but often just forget that I can't do everything that they can.....but others are not so nice about it and don't believe you or don't care that you are struggling! So I try to avoid those kinds of people when I can. 🙂

[Painny in reply to Sally444]

Exactly, you hit the nail , there is a disconnect between pain and the brain. My physician told me the brain no longer recognises the pain or in my own layman’s term the brain has given up and keep saying to me I had enough of your pain and leave me alone. Well done to your caring family xx🌹🥀

[Welshcatlady]

Oh poor you, but at least you can have a laugh about it afterwards! It's laughing at myself that keeps me sane!

[Painny in reply to Welshcatlady]

I do cry a lot but also laugh out loud at what my brain is capable of…not in a positive way 🌝

Talking about brain fog. Went to local health centre on Monday for a blood test appointment. Got there - wrong day - it was Tuesday. Set off on Tuesday - walking - got halfway there and realised I hadn't got my face mask. Had to return home and get it - and that was only Tuesday. Trouble is I am carer for DH who has dementia. He relies on me for checking things, but I have no one to keep a check on me!!It would be funny if it wasn't so serious!
