Good morning everyone.
Thankyou for your concern, it’s been a frustratingly slow recovery. I’m not there yet, but feeling much closer to normal now. I am still having to sleep on the lounge as it’s easier to build a nest of pillows there that allow me to sleep in an almost sitting position. If I try to lay down the lung congestion makes me feel like I’m suffocating and then the endless coughing starts.
Still haven’t left the house, but I might try that briefly tomorrow. I’m hoping to be well by Wednesday as I moved a lot of appointments when I was sick and those new appointments start Wednesday.
My brain actually feels able to construct sentences today, so I’ll attempt a proper post.
I did actually stick to my FDs while I was sick. Unfortunately my diet has consisted of whatever comfort food I felt like (lots of toast, bread, eggs and baked custard). As I have done absolutely no exercise I think there is a little extra padding around my hips – hard to tell until I put fitted clothing on again. I have been lounging around the house in comfy track suits for the last week or so.
My neighbours have been very kind with shopping for me and dealing with my garbage bins. I’m very lucky to live next to such thoughtful people.
Cinque, thankyou for the flowers. That last arrangement of roses was especially pretty. Enjoy your babysitting today, hope it doesn’t tire you out too much.
Neil, NZ really does have some lovely lakes and bays. Looks like a great place to spend some time kayaking with your boys.
Quacka, sometimes the planned healthy meals are just not what we feel like. I’m fasting with you today and I hoping it’s a bit of a reset from my self-indulgent food decisions last week.
The tiles we like are always the most expensive and your chosen feature is beautiful! Sometimes it’s worth going with a beautiful, but pricey feature but teaming it with other tiles that are simple and economical and allow the feature to shine (that should be quite achievable with a plain white wall tile). Your eye will always be drawn by the feature tiles and it’s good design to not have too many special things vying for attention.
One other option is to consider putting the feature tiles on just one wall (the bath wall usually looks best) – then use plain economical tiles on the floor and other walls. To save money it really depends on whether your floor or one wall is the larger area.
Cali, are you feeling ok now. Now that your sister’s bathroom is almost finished I hope you can stop worrying so much. Most of the decisions are made now and you just need to let the trades do their jobs. If they have done a good job with your sister’s bathroom then you can be fairly sure they will do the same with yours.
Anzac, congratulations on the new great-nephew. Sounds like you had a lively but busy weekend. Good to take your mind off work though.
Hello to Klondi, Lindsay, Intesha, Crazy and anyone else who’s lurking.
I’ve been using up my frozen meals while I was sick and I’ve pulled my very last container of soup for the freezer for tonight.
FD for me today. Good luck to anyone who is also fasting.
