A new week beckons and thankfully it is starting off with a sunny day. I am getting my head around my change in energy levels and more pain and have gone back to only trying to do one thing in a day with more resting. It is hard to cut back and frustrating to see things which need doing and not to be able to do them but better to do less and be able to manage than end up being sick and cancelling things. Chronic illnesses are so hard and maybe even more so for the families who have to adapt to cope with the ever changing situation. I am so thankful I am married to someone who is laid back and takes each day as it comes as some days I am well enough to clean and tidy the house and cook all the meals and other days I end up in bed and he has to do it all. I am good at planning but can be rubbish at carrying out the plans!
At the weekend we had a wonderful visit to the caterers for the wedding. It was great to meet them and see their set up and to leave feeling very reassured that all was in hand. They raise pigs and turkeys and we had fun seeing them. Although very sad to hear that a tree had fallen on some of the turkeys in the winds the other night. Some of the turkeys were in a separate cage as they were still traumatised by the event. Not sure how you tell that a turkey is traumatised!
This week I have coffee with friends,tutoring, pilates, flowers and bible study and some bulb planting. A less busy week with more gaps for resting. I have bought some more knitting so that will keep me busy along with the pile of books I am reading for church.
I hope you all have good plans for your weeks . Thank you for those that have been in touch I do love hearing from you and hearing about your lives. It is encouraging to hear of those who read this blog and pass it on to friends who are struggling or facing difficulties in their lives. I sometimes feel I am writing into a vacuum so it is good to hear.
