You know what I hate most about living alone? Having a fit and having to piece together various bits of broken memory afterwards to try and work out what happened. I am in an incredible amount of pain today, and while I've been working on the living room and cleaning out the goblin cage, none of that should be causing this much pain. Now I'm 95% adamant I had another fit sometime the early hours of Sunday morning, and maybe that's the cause? Except I don't know because the only person to witness it was me, and it was a fit. I'm never gonna remember that.

Sigh. So long without one and then two this week.

Oh I’m sorry you’re coping with that pain - it’s awful - would a Fitbit type device on your wrist record a sleep disturbance ? It would be good for you to know if you’ve had a fit and if it’s happening more often.
That’s one of the hard things living alone. I always text my children first thing in the am just to let them know I’m still on Earth 😂

Well, I know something happened. I woke up at a normal hour wearing far less than I went to bed in, and I remember waking up at some stage while still dark in an incredible amount of pain, and I have a sort of...memory snapshot, of getting up off the floor. Don't remember going back to bed afterwards though I clearly did.
But what I don't know is, what actually happened. I'm missing all the "in between" bits and those are the important bits, lol. Hell I don't even know which floor I got up from - bathroom, my bedroom, the hall? I need something that'll track my movements during an episode, really.
 
Mmm there must be something that you could wear that would do that ? There must be. Might be worth doing some research or asking your GP ? I hope so - I’m hoping you have a restful sleep tonight Lorcan and wake up pain free 🥰
 
People without boundaries.
I’m staying with friends for the winter (due to heating prices). They yell, scream all the time. I usually don’t care. Unfortunately, I have PMS, and I’m having a “everyone must die” day. The humans have been invading my space all day, and nothing was keeping them out of my room or face. I’ve dealt by being a nut. We went to get pumpkins, and I was waving madly at other motorists. The little human joined me, and her mom was laughing.
Finally, I went back to my room as the house was winding down. While in my room, the door shut, in the shower, door shut, with a song playing loudly, I began to sob. My friend wouldn’t take the hints of closed doors. She actually came in the bathroom to see if I wanted some water (warm!). Then she said she didn’t get the problem with bugging me.

I have this friend who is very close to me and I love her. But she can be extremely hypocritical about things. For example, when my other friend was using her Google acc for awhile, she got mad and told her to stop it. But she herself did that with my acc and she thought it was fine. She has done this so many times that it’s just unacceptable. I want to tell her off so bad but I can’t. She’s always there for me, but lately she’s just been getting on my nerves. I rlly don’t know what to do with her.

Maybe sit her down and have a quiet little chat to her about her behaviour, she probably doesn’t even realise how mean she is being

I am so upset right now. I was looking for fleece and patterns for piggy hides and stuff when I found an awful website! It wasn't a dirty one, but a horrible horrible thing. I wish I could report it somewhere, but I don't even know who I would contact. In all honesty it is probably legal which is really sad. 😢

Oh no how awful. There some really horrible websites. I us Pinterest or Utube videos

Tell her if your bedroom door is ajar then do come in. if it’s shut then please knock! You have a right to some privacy

“Closed doors mean don’t enter” was actually a lecture she gave her daughter two nights before. Not entering my room at all was a second. Apparently it’s time for another meeting.
 
I found a squirrel in the garden today. Still alive, wouldn't let me near to it, and I wish it would've, even if it would mean taking it to the vet for euthanasia (and missing my booster appointment). It's not going to survive for long in the wild, and tbh I'm not even sure how it was able to climb the fence to escape me, both its left legs have been injured. Dunno if it's from another animal or a vehicle, but it can't put its weight on the hind leg and the foreleg is apparently useless, because it wasn't using it at all. No visible wound to the rear leg and visible damage to the foreleg but no bleeding.

I wish it would've let me catch it. Poor thing has to be in agony.
 
When doctors don't listen.
I've been struggling with more and more dislocations and instability with my knees. Because of this and my condition I'm at increased risk of developing arthritis before I'm 30. I'm also at risk of tearing ligaments and creating another problem. I've been to physio and my GP several times and I've been given all of these exercises to strengthen one of the muscles around my knee. I've always been very active and really shouldn't have weakness there. I've been doing all these exercises religiously and it's made everything worse and there's no improvement with the muscle. I've gone from dislocating my knee every couple of months to dislocating it every few weeks. This week it's come out 3 times. I've strapped it, elevated, iced and resting but resting makes it worse. I've had enough now, this isn't fun. They've had 15+ years to get it sorted. I'm yet to have any imagery done to see if there's a reason for the constant pain and instability, like a shallow groove or issues with the cartilage which I have been told is a possibility.
 
Damn it, Asda. I get it, you don't have the 24pack of Coke I wanted. You couldn't send a smaller pack? You couldn't send bottles?

No, you send a 24pack of Coke Zero instead.

My caffeine addiction is going to have problems this week.

Haha well I've had 4 pregnancies and they have all had their impact though 3 have only been very early ones so minimal impact but I'm sure that's why it's got worse again recently

BT? If so, how have you found their customer service?

Four times in six month the landline has broken. Each time I end up doing a live chat to see what the problem is and get more lies. Yesterday I was told the issue is critical and it will be fixed properly. They said that the first three times too! Very quickly BT is entering Eon Next levels of customer service!

No we gave up with BT as they were useless! The problem was caused by a lightning strike to a mast meaning all the wires were fried and needing to be replaced.

Currently on the train to London for a few days break away. It’s packed with rowdy football fans and we’re having to stand for the two hour journey. A great start to our trip…

That really annoys me. They should only sell tickets for the amount of seats they have. Have a lovely trip Claire
 
I agree especially when they know football fans will be travelling 😬
You only need to look at the PL and other leagues to know that !
You will have a lovely time Claire W and can soon put that behind you 🥰

Thank you both. We got cheap tickets as my sister in laws fiancés dad is a train driver so I shouldn’t complain really. But we’re packed in like sardines. It’s a joke
 
I managed to pick a train from my daughters once when Wales were playing rugby at Cardiff. I had to hold my rucksack above my head we were packed so tight! Thank goodness I was only going a few miles and changed train at Newport.

I hope you are enjoying your weekend Claire.

Thank you. We’ve just been to Brick Lane. That’s what it was like for us too. Really packed in.
