So in my wisdom last week I decided to buy a leaf blower/mulcher, garden hose and various kit that I have never used before to keep us busy in the garden.

My first attempt with leaf blower went well only did 5 mins but realised when I woke up this morning why I now hurt as I am steroid junkie again so I think I am invincible.

So back to slowing down and breathing again and calm moments. Bloody steroids always make me a hyper bunny.......this task now assigned to hubby.

Good morning Deeb,

Good luck with the garden, I've got to get stuck into mine, hope your not aching too much. Maybe a quiet day today. It does explain why I have more energy as I have had to increase my steriods till I see the consultants in July as I was have bad symptoms trying to taper. ☹ now I understand why I have more energy.! Have a good Saturday. X

My doctor called them the devils spawn. I am a much happier person OFF them and I don't cry as much either. Though the way my health is going its a surprise I don't cry more.xxxxx

A very good description of them too. On saying that, where would we be without them if we couldn't have them when needed. You are going through a difficult time and I feel for you. If you want to have a good cry, go ahead, it might just do you good. Thinking of you. 🌹 xx

I would really like to come off them now, but it's a double edged sword, on the one hand I have no pain, but on the other I know the longer I'm on them their not helping me long term, but keep getting flu side effects when tapering. ☹ think I'll have yo go slower. Hope your keeping well. X

Garden toys are such fun ! but better is a nice lounger, and watching the birds. Come on sunshine we need to get out and have some social distancing in warm weather.

Ha ha ha yes relaxing watching the wildlife in the garden sounds like a good idea, maybe after I've done the 101 jobs out there I need to do 😂
