What's anyone done today

I've had a rubbish day, don't feel 100%, not covid 19, think it's just sitting at home and only having short walks, did go to the garage earlier for some cold meat, then up round to the main shops and down home, checking in to make sure cafe at end of road is open, takeaway only, so I think it's just being on own with nothing to take my mind off my aches and pains.

I usually use Patient Access to order my meds but I've changed to ordering through Boots which I did last weekend, they've got the order as I've had an email with an order number, patient access doesn't show the order, so will it be transferred to that screen at some point and at what point do I chase it up, it's supposed to be here the middle of next week, don't want to chase it too early as with all that's going on they're bound to be incredibly busy but I don't want to leave it too late, it's hopefully being posted to me so I need to allow a few days for delivery, I'm currently thinking email Boots Monday or Tuesday, any thoughts will be greatly appreciated

Hi Jennymary ,

I hope you’re feeling a little better this afternoon/evening. Taking small walks can help.

Today, I went online and did some email, postings and comments. I will start “The Outsider “, by Stephen King this afternoon.

Enjoy your night.😀👍

Hope you feel better now. Better to do lots of little spurts of energy or movement maybe rather than a long thing, well I find it is anyway. And the more you stay in touch with people when you can helps me too.

Hi Jennymary

I'm sorry you're not having a good day and don't feel very good. Are you able to get out in your neighbourhood and maybe have a chat with someone across a fence/road? I'm finding getting out and about I'm talking to people I've never seen or spoken to before and it's making me feel good.

I would definitely chase up on Monday as it's important you have your medicine and have enough of it.

I hope you're feeling better.

Take care

Hi Jennymary, I'm so sorry you are having a bad day and not feeling so well. Sometimes it just seems impossible to feel positive, and I think it's OK to indulge yourself for a little while, so long as you manage to get back on track after having a wobble. Take good care of yourself, and I do hope you'll be feeling better tomorrow.

It seems so hard, doesn't it, with Easter almost here and glorious weather and no-one able to fully enjoy the holiday. Just try to remember that we're here for you as a community and if all else fails, you can maybe get some comfort here, so please keep up your daily posts. We like to know how you are doing.

With regard to your prescription, I would definitely do as crazyfitness suggests and contact Boots for some reassurance that you'll get your meds on time, especially as this is a new way of doing it for you. I find my own Boots is a bit variable with lead times, and I do think that sometimes, although we like to be considerate of others and their busy-ness, it's important to set our own minds at rest.

Take care and look after yourself.

Thank you, I used to order through GP who sent it to Boots who text me when it was ready, but due to not driving and limited buses I've signed up with Boots to get it delivered which will make life easier, and this is the first prescription with the new way

Hi Jennymary, I guess feeling fed up some days can hit us quite quickly at times during the current situation. I don't think you are alone having days like this. They are a bit up and down for most. I think being anxious about your prescription might be adding to it. If it was me, I would send an email, I wouldn't necessarily wait as someone will probably pick the email up over the weekend. I hope you are feeling a bit brighter tomorrow. I plan to have a TV day tomorrow. I might watch a few old films, that type of stuff. A lazy day tomorrow I think. I hope you have a good evening. xx

I've heard, possibly on the radio, of people writing Christmas cards

Hi Sierrastar, hope you managed to put lots of Easter bunnies, chicks & eggs ( like Joseph - in many colours !). If you have any popcorn you can thread & drape around tree instead of tinsel or little marshmallow. The lights should be fine but remember this is not Christmas 🎅🎄but Easter 🐇🐥🥚 (love your little joke about Christmas tree !) Have a safe & happy ish time this long weekend. Take care & stay safe Chris

Best wishes, Elizabeth.

What happened to these posts? I looked up activity groups for a elderly neighbour today.

Hi thara, I always said I'd do the postings until I went back to work, I returned 1 August which is why the postings have stopped
