Day 41: Physio Day

 

I had physio today... I rate how well I'm doing, by how easy is it to wash my armpits in the shower. I know it sounds stupid; but for some reason it works for me. In the beginning I had so much trouble especially trying to use my left hand to reach under the right armpit. Or to even raise my left arm high enough to wash under it.

Some days are way better than others. I'm in a bit of pain at the moment because Monsoon decided to help me with and exercise and ended up hurting me. Not her fault. She's three and I shouldn't have been doing the exercises while she was here. Lesson learned, and I won't be doing that again.

I was hoping the physio guy, (J), was going to be able to tell that I'm doing the exercises every day. Because I might be a bit slack in marking them off in the App. I can tell him I'm sleeping better. I still can't sleep on that side for long, but at least now my shoulder/ arm isn't aching all night. Now I just have to plod along until my next appointment.

Day 40: Little Things

 

Today I need to do all the little things, or rather 5 little chores. The ones I hate doing like:

1. Cleaning the microwave.
2. Cleaning the air fryer.
3. Wiping all the spills off the kitchen cupboards - I thought I got them all yesterday after the kids left, but this morning I realized I had missed a few.
4. Cleaning the shower glass.
5. Changing all the bedding.

At least I have all day to get them done. I also have to fold the Laundry today; but I don't mind doing that one.

I don't want to overexert myself, because I don't want to be too sore to go to physio tomorrow.

I also need to try and get a bit of writing done. On that note I will away and get started. Right after I clean up the furball my cat Robson decided to just leave at my feet. Yay, what fun it is to be a pet owner. I'm kidding, I love my cats... most of the time. 

Day 39: Decluttering & Other Things

 Today I've been decluttering all of my writing files. Making sure that when I'm actually working on something, all the clutter in the files is gone and I'm only left with what I need.

I've been having a bad headache today. Not a blinder, but a slow dull thump. I think I may have forgotten to take my medication this morning.

I finished watching both versions of Ghosts. I liked different characters in both the English and the American versions... Basement ghosts were funny in both.

It was a freaking warm day again today. Yes, I know it's summer, and it's meant to be hot. I must obviously be a winter person; I really do like the cooler weather.

Today I tried to work on Dark Frost 1: Accidentally Yours. It's been good getting to know the characters again. In the end I decided to stop and try again tomorrow. Hard to work on anything when you have two of the granddaughters visiting. Today I had Cyclone and Monsoon... while Hurricane went and got her new glasses.

Day 38: Babysitting Duty

 

Okay, I have Monsoon again today. I know she gets fed at home. I just don't understand as soon as she walks through Mar-Mar's (me) door she starts demanding food. I don't know where she fits it all she is a tiny little thing (3).

I'm also washing all the bedding today. I forgot how hard it is trying to remake a bed with two cats walking all over it and thinking I'm playing every time shake out a sheet or the doona.

I'm also trying to get some writing done. Not sure how much I'll manage with Monsoon here. Right now, I'm bribing her with screen time. She's watching kids YouTube; better than me having to sit through one of her movies again. Her favourites at the moment are:

1. Despicable Me 4
2. Luca
3. Moana
4. Raya
5. Encanto
6. Inside out 1 & 2
7. Bluey (TV show)

Day 37: Soundtrack Day (80's)

 What I'm listening to at the minute.

Enjoy.

Day 36: Random Thoughts #4

 

Just when you think the rain has finally stopped; it starts up again. I just can't freaking win.

I have spent the day reviewing a different book series. Dark Frost, it's a sci fi... I forgot how much fun it was working on those stories.

I started watching Ghosts on Brit Box... weirdly, it's kind of funny. my favourites are the ghosts in the boiler room. 

I have another headache today. Just a nagging one. At least it's not a true thumper. I'm afraid today is only going to be a super short. I'll catch you all tomorrow.

Day 35: Really starting to hate technology

 

Why is it, that every time my computer or phone needs to update something, everything freaking changes. It takes me so long to learn the new crap only for it to update again and screw me over once more. It's a total pain in the arse.

I have Monsoon this afternoon while the other two are at their swimming lessons. So, it looks like I will be watching Despicable Me 4 at some stage.

I have a twinge in my arm/shoulder today. I may have over did the exercises a little yesterday. I really need to get my cobweb broom back and get all the webs around the moulding on the roof down. They've seemed to only come inside since we've had non-stop rain.

I'm reaching 30K on Woden's Wolves 3: When Everything Shatters. I'm coming to the point in the story where it starts to turn, and head for the light at the end of the tunnel. Dare & Krush have been taking me on an adventure, and least I know some of the things to write about in books 1: Stronger Than She Looks & 2: There & Back Again.
