Energy - Not!

[Constance13]

Can someone lend me some energy (and give me a couple of days pain free) please.

It's beautiful Autumn weather here and I can't budge. Dizzy too! The joys of old age.🥴

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer]

Well I could lend you a little....but I have to change the bedding today! 🛏How come the duvet seems bigger and heavier each time 😳.

No much help on the pain free either - although fortunately no longer GCA.

Think I could manage a gentle hug ..if that helps.😉

[Constance13 in reply to DorsetLady]

Hugs help!👍🍷

[Constance13 in reply to DorsetLady]

Going back to the duvets! In the summer we changed to sheets and blankets. However, in winter it's nice to have our own 'cuddly' duvets. We haven't made a bed for two years though (!?))😂 - my home help does it (and any other jobs we can't manage/or don't want to). We are very lucky.🎄🍁💥🍸🍾

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to Constance13]

Summer duvets are okay, quite light, but my winter one is “down” so bit heavy. Could just have a top sheet and change the duvet cover less often I suppose, but sort of defeats the object of a duvet! Heigh ho such decisions. 😂🤣😂

[Constance13 in reply to DorsetLady]

My mother did that (sheet under what was then an eiderdown - 40 years ago). An excellent idea if you live alone.

[LemonZest11 in reply to DorsetLady]

My kids do that with all of their kids' beds. Great idea! Good enough for hotels too.

Especially when you've just changed to the winter weight one as I have. Had a bit more energy today so decided to change mine which I couldn't face yesterday.

[PMRpro Ambassador]

But you can go out on the scooter! Otherwise - send me the weather!

[Constance13 in reply to PMRpro]

Too tired even to do that!😟 Have asked OH to take me to the garden centre (all very Christmassy)💥. He hates it, I love it (wonder who will win)?

I only live 1000 kilometres away - you're welcome any time.🍾🍸🍷

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Constance13]

Not that far - only 800km! Nothing christmassy yet here - next weekend ...

[Constance13 in reply to PMRpro]

When the rain starts here!🥴 Roll on Spring.

Xmas markets in full swing here. That is very pleasant walking through all the bright lights and festive stalls. It's small in Bad Sassendorf but very pretty. I WILL push myself to go out this afternoon.

(We're off piste here. Hope the Moderators will forgive us).

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Constance13]

Not off-piste - it's how to manage PMR in the winter ...

[Constance13 in reply to PMRpro]

😂😂 Thanks Moderator!

[Yellowbluebell in reply to Constance13]

Its totally on topic. Winter weather is a downer for everyone i think

[prunus in reply to PMRpro]

Just sat here having to translate 800kms into miles now the distance means something to me. You're hilly there - I remember we had to stop with the first car we took to Germany all those years ago - the engine could not cope with the hills. Happy memories.

[Whitner in reply to Constance13]

So I'm in the US and I have tried to figure out what OH stands for. I'm thinking it must be husband but I am confused by the O. Please help me out! Outstanding? Obedient? Obese? Obtuse? Outgoing? Outstanding? Original?

[Hidden in reply to Whitner]

😂😂😂 I always took it as "other half"..... Otherwise I have read lots of messages the wrong way!

[Whitner in reply to Hidden]

Ah yes, many thanks!!!

[Constance13 in reply to Whitner]

It's the Brit way to talk about our husband or wife without using their names. Not really the 'done' thing but we use it all the same😂😂😂😂

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Constance13]

But it is very useful, covering all varieties of partner and ensuring anonymity!

[Constance13 in reply to Whitner]

I've just read an old post of mine (3 months ago). I liked your definitions of '0' in 0H. My husband all the way - except "obese".😂

[Hidden]

I would swap but not sure it would do you any good. Enjoy the Christmassy Market. My neices and nephews were starting their Xmas build up in the Netherlands. Another virtual hug will have to do. 😘

[Constance13 in reply to Hidden]

👍🎄🍀🍁

[Constance13 in reply to Constance13]

Just been round the Xmas market. Not sure it was worth the bother though - in a LOT of pain and very swollen ankles. Still, got some air into my lungs - better than nothing.

[Longtimer]

Can I borrow some too if you get lent too much please!....

[Constance13 in reply to Longtimer]

Sorry - mostly hugs - but they DO help.🎄🍸🍾🍀

[scats]

You have the energy to walk around the christmas market and then have the cheek to ask for some of mine! I've only just made it downstairs today!😉

[Constance13 in reply to scats]

It wasn't a 'personal' request - just a general one.😂😂😂

Hope this helps🍾🍸🥃🍷💥💥

[scats in reply to Constance13]

OK I forgive you. Only wish I'd thought of doing the same!

[LemonZest11]

Sending energy and warm hugs from Downunder 😘

[Thelmarina]

Off to wet Wales today - with friends which makes it fun. Sending you warm and dry thoughts. I’ve put some LED lights on the mantelpiece to brighten up the room, love a little sparkle, and perhaps you could contemplate Christmas lists of deliciousness to eat and liquid delights to mellow the frosts, rain, snow , blizzards ( and we don’t mention Brexit in the UK!) that May come our way. 😀🤗😘xx

[Constance13 in reply to Thelmarina]

Xmas markets have started over here (Germany) and I start putting up decorations when they do. Every Sunday in Advent I add some decoration or another. I find it a nice build-up to the 25th.
