@lonemushroom thank you so much for the kind wishes!

I hope that cuppa has helped with the pain and also that you are feeling more rested. I also love my hot water bottle for aches and pains 🥰.

Sending you hugs 🫂 🤗 ❤️

That does sound like a busy weekend @Shaz51 

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your mum, I hope that as well as naturally being a sad time without her here for mothers day this year, that it also brought some fond memories of mother's days that passed. 

I experienced a bit of that yesterday as it was also my late Gran's birthday. I took my mum to see Pride and Prejudice as it had been re-released in the cinemas for the 20th anniversary of the movie. Me and my gran used to share a love of Jane Austen so it was a bit bittersweet but I was happy to have her in my thoughts.

Other than that I was out all day on Saturday for my MIL's birthday celebrations. We went to some hot springs in the morning and then had dinner in the evening, I didn't get home until very late so I was tired the rest of the weekend.

Oh I nearly forgot to ask, how did it go with the medical students? Were they able to correctly diagnose you?

hugs @Ru-bee 😍

always takes a couple of days to get over a big weekend 

mother's day morning tea was just long enough with a controlling SIL, so Mr. Shaz was glad to get back home  

how did it go with the medical students? Were they able to correctly diagnose you?, ha ha I have soo much going on that they only diagnosis one thing which was Diabetes 

they did not have much time to get down to other things 

but the Head doctor ( my specialist ) was happy with one Lady responds to what she would do next to find out more

thank you so much @Healandlove that is so kind 💗 hot water bottles definitely are great!!

@Shaz51 wow that lemongrass is super impressive!! what were you feeding it? I can barely manage to get mine to survive past the seedling stage lol 

sounds like we’re all in need of a good rest day after this weekend for sure

Nice lemongrass @Shaz51 I also have some lemon grass here in a pot.

Hope you are feeling as good as can be expected given the anniversary of your mum.

I've fallen into a slump today after a busy yesterday at the fundraiser, I had to get up before 5am yesterday to get to location and standing up/walking/running for 5hrs in the rain. Was home by 11am though and then trying to dry out my clothes and things and do some stuff around house. Needing to do social media for the event as well took a fair bit of afternoon.

Today slept in, just felt I couldn't get out of bed it was drizzling and cool, so it wasn't enticing. Stayed in bed until 10.30am I think I'm sort of in a let down phase after yesterday. I didn't go to table tennis today - now I wish I had, for the exercise and social interaction. I feel a bit down on myself for bring lazy. Also Mother's day is hard for me having no kids and a bit ambivalent about my own mother due to her reaction to CSA. Anyhow I will try to push on as usual, even though there is no joy in it.

@lonemushroom 

The lemongrass just grew in our climate outside very well , the wet , the heat of summer,  it did very well 

@Till23 , think everyone here all had a slump day today after the weekend 

Hugs my sister ❤️ 

I have not had any children of my own due to my mum being pregnant with German measel,  and the specialist now thinks I might of had turners syndrome 

Be gentle on yourself,  I felt a bit guilty today too in my mind , trying not to influence anything on hubby which is hard xx 

[Shaz51]

I have been everywhere today here @Ru-bee , @rav3n , @Jynx 

[Sparky79]

@lonemushroom yeah distracting myself by playing in traffic (driving back from the posh parts of Melbourne), I hope your pain and fatigue has eased up! is it Turmeric tea you're having? as turmeric is great for inflammation

[Till23]

Thanks @Shaz51 I'm glad I'm not the only one!

It helps but I still feel I can do better. I had a busy three weeks, but in the past I would have done that fairly easily - I would have been a bit tired. It's hard to get used to this, I hope it's not the new me, I hope it's just a phase.

I feel like I need to do something a bit completely different or something to get out of my current state I've been in for a few months.

I had a friend who's mum had german measles during her pregnancy and my friend is deaf due to that.

I feel like a bit of a fake, because I don't have any big medical problems like that, I have a roof over my head, can afford food etc, whereas many don't have that. I'm not waiting for fistuals to start dialysis like you. That makes me feel like I should be able to do better. It's the negative thinking spiral. I must find a way to make that spiral go upwards
