Here ..have a rocking around your shoulders hug from me to you all struggling tonight . >>hug>> . and Brew.

EspeciallyEd ,Nina ,Snowy and Vicar

Exhaustion is such a trigger . Makes us so vulnerable when already fragile and weepy . You all have so much going on in your lives at the moment with builders and noise .....strain of being away from home and illness . Routine which is paramount for recovery completely upset . No wonder tearful and bad bad nights.

Today and tonight will pass ...been there and promise you that you will not always feel like this . Been there and still do it regularly .

Vicar you need a duvet day maybe ? Let the stables manage without you for a couple of days . YOU need to rest and recharge your batteries .
Cyber basset says so Wink

EdwiniasRevenge · 20/02/2013 00:43

I agree with basset

Phone the stables 'sick' if need be tomorrow. If its causing you stress it isn't worth it...if you arent getting anything out of it. Are you due to be there every day this week? If there is one thing I have learnt over tge last couple of weeks it is that I don't have the stamina for being fully functional 7 days a week. Don't be afraid to give yoursekf yime to rest physically and mentally.

I'm very tired (did nap this morning but not this afternoon). Despite that I don't feel like settling down yet....I just can't seem to shut off tonight.

EdwiniasRevenge · 20/02/2013 09:07

Slept well once I got to sleep.

Level 3 + 3 bonuses :o (makeup, hair straightened & jewellery). Feel quite positive (mentally)

Feel like cack physically.. Chest rattly. Nose stuffy and feeling feverish (but temp 34.9 Confused) but got to go out. Hopefully not for too long

HellesBelles396 · 20/02/2013 11:07

Level 1 at present but I have done loads:

Made complaint to argos about how long it's taken them to even talk to me about the damaged bed-frame they sent me

Washed up last night's dishes and this mornings.

Put washing on.

Folded drying up ready to go upstairs.

Rowed with mum ( that's the ow rather oh version - we're not an athletic family).

Spent time on religious instruction.

Yelled at persuaded my son to get showered (he's 12 so completely hydrophobic - except puddles, weirdly).

Still to do today:

Build last of three bookcases, sort books into them, declutter the study and make bread dough for pizza for tea. I will also go to the post office and buy milk.

Hope everyone is having a better day and that Vicar heeded advice and took today off Smile

SnowyMouse · 20/02/2013 13:04

Level 2 here, my mother visited this morning, which was nice.

HellesBelles396 · 20/02/2013 13:05

level 3, no bonuses. 2 more things ticked of on list and ready for cheese and biscuits Grin

SnowyMouse · 20/02/2013 13:21

I'm going to go out this afternoon I think.

EdwiniasRevenge · 20/02/2013 13:44

Having a very spaced out day.

Giggling at lots.

Out shopping.

Keep losing my friend.

Feel like ssitting down in the middle of the shop.

Very woo

TheSilveryPussycat · 20/02/2013 14:23

Great to hear so many of us doing well, sorry that's not true atm for you vicar...

SnowyMouse · 20/02/2013 15:04

Hmm, feeling in a dip now. Thinking of you all.

TheSilveryPussycat · 20/02/2013 15:22

There is a natural dip in the body in the early afternoon - the point at which 'natural' nap-takers have a siesta :)

SnowyMouse · 20/02/2013 15:56

Interesting, I didn't know that.

EdwiniasRevenge · 20/02/2013 18:33

Problem is I would take a siesta at 10am and 2pm if I cpuld :o.

I have kind of had a good day but I know my head is very ill because I have been VERY childish and immature...it seems to be a bit of a copig mechanism for me.

Done nothing at home. Been out all day. But not had a nap either :)

Now I am about to cook pancakes for pudding.

Then im going to chill might finish crocheting my seal..might play on the wii...we'll see...

hi everyone

glad most of you seem to have had a better day. UA so sorry to hear about your sisters grandson - that sounds terribly sad. also no wonder you are feeling a bit flummexed with the info from the GP....but maybe you have some answers?

i did go to stables today but told her im not going on Sat - ive done 4 days this week already, today i mucked out and redid the bedding in 11 stables, did all the water buckets (which is hard slog, emptying, scrubbing and refilling using buckets of water) my back is killing me, im covered in bruises, blisters and cuts so im giving it a miss on Sat. i need to talk to RI as this is becoming a source of stress - im working for nothing - the deal was i go in for experience, and im just shovelling shit (which is fine - dont mind doing that at all but not learning anything else and the idea was i was learning in order to be ready when i buy a horse)

anyway - im tired and in pain but im ok, dd has informed me that she doesnt want to go to revision day tomorrow (she goes to a private tutor for this lesson anyway) so i will get a lie in.

the builders have gone but both sets of neighbours are now being a pain - one made us take up 6" of block paving saying it was over his border - he put up a fence and the builders went up to it - now he says he put the fence in the wrong place!!!!!!!! and it should be 6" further onto my garden even though he put the frigging thing up....Confused
and my elderly neighbours at the other side who had been fab and whom i get on really well normally wouldnt let me take up some very old fence posts despite them being my boundary - so i left them - so the builders had to put a gravel border in as they couldnt go up to the old fence posts - and no those same neibhours are complaining that the gravel border might undermine their paving slabs(which have been there since 1965) because the gravel will take water in or something....if we had taken the fence posts out the builders would have just butted our block paving up to their paving but they said we couldnt!! so i just cant win and feeling pretty totally pissed off now - think im going to put a fence up and be done, then their paving will sit against gravel boards.

im so tired of all the shite that life keeps chucking at me.

and i know its really trivial shite - but its getting to me.

and its my birthday next week however my Dsis died the day after in 2004 so i cant get my head around my birthday any more.....every one keeps asking what i want - i want to forget it and pretend its not coming up to that anniversary - but then i get sad no matter what.

SnowyMouse · 20/02/2013 21:15

That sounds like a lot of annoying things vicar, you're doing well to get yourself through it. I am so sorry to hear about your DSis, hugs.

ThatVikRinA22 · 20/02/2013 22:15

thanks snowy - im trying to stay calm and not get wound up....

not finding it very easy though.

TheSilveryPussycat · 20/02/2013 23:23

vicar don't you ever get to groom - or even clean tack?

My first real experience of riding was a riding week in the New Forest - I was 12, and my DM was 34, we each had to get up at dawn (it felt like!) and groom our pony. Then we rode during the morning (learned from scratch, then went out on the forest for the last 2 mornings :)), and had the afternoon and evening free.

ThatVikRinA22 · 20/02/2013 23:47

nope silvery - just down to time constraints im sure but a little frustrating for a would be horse owner....i adore being around them. i want my own but not before i know enough to care for it properly.

i think i will pay for those lessons and stop being so available.

TheSilveryPussycat · 20/02/2013 23:51

You have not yet had the lovely horsey experience of being farted on by the horse whose tail you are combing out, then Wink?

ThatVikRinA22 · 20/02/2013 23:53

it made life a bit easier!
