Hello Hush. How soon before the tablets take effect? X

Hushabyemountain98 · 06/04/2016 15:36

Should be within the hour xx

Ok my lovely, sod everything else. Just lie down and relax with some music and the iPad, bearing in mind what we talked about earlier (!), and just flick through something. The John Lewis, Jigsaw or Crocus sites usually do it for me. Or stupidly expensive villas in the Pacific! X Grin

Hushabyemountain98 · 06/04/2016 16:01

Thanks Pisco. I feel really messed up. I think it is slowing down.
I am just plodding around! I have the TV on and I am finishing off some cooking etc.
I will sit down after that.

I hope you had a nice lunch?xx

OP posts:
PiscoSour66 · 06/04/2016 16:21

Lunch was lovely, thank you.
Take it easy. What are you cooking?

Hushabyemountain98 · 06/04/2016 16:24

Hi Pisco, I am glad that lunch was lovely. You are the lady who lunches at the moment!
I am finishing of the bread and I have made some sausage rolls.
I am taking it easy xx

OP posts:
PiscoSour66 · 06/04/2016 16:36

I know, my time has finally come!
I'm trying to make the most of it before all the offers dry up and I'm back on project DIY!
Sausage rolls sound good. Nice with some onion tomatoey chutney in there too! X

Hushabyemountain98 · 06/04/2016 16:51

So it should be Pisco.
Better than project shower!
My heart has stopped. No I am not dead! Just gone back to a normal rhythm!
Sausage rolls seem okay. Would love the chutney but anything spicy is killing the inside of my cheek. I am cracking up! xx

I'm so glad you're not dead! You are falling apart, aren't you. Still, we can rebuild you, what with all our self help books and kirks medical experience. I'm sure we can mackle up a new Hush x

Hushabyemountain98 · 06/04/2016 17:12

Yes Pisco I am falling apart physically and mentally.
Could do with a whole body and head transplant. No half measures!
Maybe there is a Doctor on MN too?
Ha Ha! 😀 Xx

Hush - I'm on the sofa reading the wonderful thread in Classics about being Too polite and British - it's hysterical and has taken me over an hour to read and still not finished yet. My lack of sleep has caught up with me and I've given into it.
There are sooo many things I need to be doing but today - the sofa is my home!
I'm not surprised your body is showing the strain! Not quite sure about the whole body transplant though .
xx

PiscoSour66 · 06/04/2016 17:23

Well done louisa, I always forget about the threads on classics. They are a good read Hush when you're feeling down. Some are very funny.

Hushabyemountain98 · 06/04/2016 17:25

Hi Louisa,
Will have to have a look at the thread in Classics.
Sometimes you just have to give into it!
I was going to do such a lot today. There is always tomorrow!
No I do not think the whole transplant is available on the NHS!
Never mind.
I hope you have a relaxing evening xx

Hushabyemountain98 · 06/04/2016 17:28

Thanks Pisco I will give it a go xx

louisatwo · 06/04/2016 17:48

There you are - three of us all on sofas reading Classics Grin
It's cold and wet here and I have to be up at 5.00am tomorrow so am getting in some rest.
Take care all xx

Hushabyemountain98 · 06/04/2016 18:11

Yes Louisa. How cultured are we?
It is quite pleasant here now much nicer than earlier.
Maybe it will come your way.
I hope you get some quality rest as you have to be up so early.
Take care xx

WTAFF · 06/04/2016 18:54

Hi Hush (and everyone). I'm glad your heart has settled back down Hush.

I'm going to check out some of the Classics threads now. Trying to stay off the wine during the week so I need something to distract me!

Hushabyemountain98 · 06/04/2016 18:58

Thanks Kirk. How kind you are.
My heart feels much better thanks.
I know I had too much coffee but I was really stressed too.
I hope you are okay?xx

OP posts:
Hushabyemountain98 · 06/04/2016 19:03

Hi WTAFF.
Thank you for your kind message.

I am going to look at the Classic threads too.
I hope you manage to stay off the wine during the week.
My drinking habits have changed. I do not drink much at all now.
Which isn't a bad thing!
Have a nice evening xx

PiscoSour66 · 07/04/2016 08:56

Good morning Hush. How's the ticker? And your cheek? X

Hushabyemountain98 · 07/04/2016 10:03

Good Morning Pisco,

My ticker is fine this morning. The trouble is the day after I have taken the tablets I feel real really lethargic. My cheek is horrid! Never mind.
I hope you are okay?
What are you up to today?
I am meeting a friend for coffee this morning.
xx

OP posts:
PiscoSour66 · 07/04/2016 10:13

Yes, I'm fine thanks. I have a friend coming over this morning. She is of the no nonsense variety! Not much apart from that.
Enjoy your coffee, seeing people really does help, doesn't it? Xxx

Hushabyemountain98 · 07/04/2016 10:33

Glad you are fine Pisco.
Enjoy seeing your no nonsense friend.
As long as she has empathy too?
Seeing people does help.
Life is so strange at the moment.
Nothing is as it should be.
Sorry!xx

OP posts:
PiscoSour66 · 07/04/2016 10:52

Don't apologise. Life is very strange, it's certainly not where we wanted to be.
But we keep being told that it will be better and I believe it! I just don't know what it is yet.
She has empathy in spades, but it does help to see the strength of feelings about this mess in other people. I'm still quite numb and in disabelief in many respects.
I think it's the way that I'm able to cope. Seeing people like her gives me a bit of a reality check.
