monday was a chill out day. i was going to go to the basement club but i decided when i saw the rain that I’d stay home and rest my back. i went to bed very early last night after taking a couple of anti inflamitories and a couple of paracetamol. and i slept like a log, probably because of the meds in my system. i woke early to let nitro out to do his business and feed him and then went straight back to bed. mom rang me at 9 AM and I told her I’d be staying home today. then i just went back to sleep. i woke a couple times but couldnt get up. at least my back got better though so it was good that i rested it. eventually i got up when my home help came and i ate dinner. it was after 5 Pm then. now its almost 1 AM and I am wide awake. of course i have had a couple cups of coffee and been watching tv for the evening. i’ve been talking to a couple of friends on the phone as well. im feeling pretty good. i’m watching this show right now called i survived. its about people who survived things like natural disasters, being shot, etc. its a good show. kristen will be coming today at around 8 AM. I’ll be going to be weighed and I also have to go get some groceries. I am hopeful that I’ve lost some more weight. We shall see I suppose if I did or not. I have been doing pretty good so I’m hoping that will pay off. I’ll keep you all posted.

such a wonderful saturday
saturdays been so good! I had a chilled out sort of day. I relaxed, I binge watched tv, I read, I slept. Well I didnt sleep much last night so I napped a little this afternoon. I hung out with mom for a while, we chatted about this and that while she painted the wall in the bedroom. I stayed in my pjs all day today. And I am not one bit sorry! Its been a really good day all around. Tonight my two aunts came over to mom and dads house. mom and both of my aunts were drinking, I wasnt. My diet is too important to me to drink and ruin my progress. But we chatted and listened to music. My aunts are moms sisters. I love hanging out with them. My sister did not come over today with the kids like she normally would on a saturday. She went to her partners family instead. They wont be over tomorrow either. Its so weird not to have the kids here. The house is so quiet without them. I just remembered I gotta take my night meds. I almost forgot about them. Better go do that now guys. Catch you all later.

random odds and ends
so i thought i’d write a random update sorta post. i am delighted this week is almost over. 2 more days to the weekend yay! i cant wait! tomorrow i have a relief pa in the morning because kristen is doing a training course in manual handling. she doesnt even want to be doing it but its part of her job she has to do it in order to work with clients. so the relief pa is dolores and she’s nice. she’s done relief for me before. a friend of mine also has her as her pa though and she told me the other day that dolores got a new job and so she is leaving. that means i’ll have to find someone else to do my cover when kristen is unavailable. thats probably going to be hard. given they’re so short on pa’s. i’m sure dolores will tell me herself tomorrow about her new job, its just that my friend found out sooner because dolores was working with her and she told me, even though she probably shouldnt have. i wont let on i know anything and i’ll just wait for her to tell me tomorrow herself about it. i have my nutritionist tomorrow morning, its weigh in time. i’m hoping i’m down a couple of pounds. i keep saying i’ll be happy if i am even down a pound, but it sure would be nice to be down a few and have all of my hard work pay off. i’m not going to eat any breakfast until i am finished seeing karen. if i dont eat i’ll get a more accurate weight when she weighs me. i need to ask dolores to clean the house, vacume, mop the floors etc. it hasnt been done this week at all, because kristen didnt have time on tuesday to do it. in the afternoon tomorrow i’m going to a barbecue at the basement club. its on in the green ribbon garden, thats a garden that shine runs as part of the basement club. i’m looking forward to it very much. it is supposed to be really sunny tomorrow too so that will be nice. i wasnt part of the committee to set up the barbecue mainly because i havent really been in to the basement club in a couple of weeks. but i payed my 2 euro yesterday and so i am going and i will enjoy myself at it. being with the other members will keep my mind occupied and keep me distracted from my own thoughts and worries. i’m going to make the bbq my treat for this week. i will eat a burger and enjoy it knowing that i have the whole week to work on my weight after the bbq is over.
