Hi All, typing this from my bed and think I'll be here for a while yet. Fridays are my long days at work and I usually find I'm tired by the end but yesterday I felt wiped out at the start and was almost on my knees by the time we closed up. Think it was probably all the running around this week. No family around to help at the mo as my son moved to Leamington Spa for work earlier in the year and daughter is sunning herself in Madeira so did the big christmas shop alone on Thursday. I know I could get them to deliver but I never seem to remember to order and book the delivery slot in time. Also, I'm a bit of a contrary old bag and still try to fight against the limitations arthritis tries to impose after all these years. You'd think I'd know better by now but seems not. Not got much that's desperate for today apart from icing the cake (always leave it til last minute) and writing cards for neighbours (ditto) so don't feel too guilty staying here with my daughters lovely little dog curled up beside me. He's been a godsend while I've been poorly.
On a positive note, I think there must have been something festive in the air at work yesterday as I got a hug from not one but two GPs. One even told me I was an absolute star! A far cry from the grief we usually get. I'd like to pass those hugs along with lots of kisses to all my lovely new friends on here. Thank you for helping me through my battle with rheumy team. I wish you all a joyous and pain-free Christmas. Love always, Pat x
