Trying to keep up with my dreams
Hey everybody! Hope you all had a good few days? How are the resolutions going? Mine are doing well I have managed to do the yoga 30 day challenge every day but today and I am so proud of myself for that. I knew that with my fatigue and pain levels doing it every day would not be possible, but I will do my best and that is all I can ask of myself. Yesterday I did yoga, but then I started to feel so so tired and my pain spiked, I had a very nice dinner and then I had a bath in one of my Lush bath melts…
A fresh slate
Happy New Year everybody!! So today I want to talk about moving forwards instead of what I have been up to over the last few days! Today is the 1st day of 2017 and I want to wipe everything away from 2016 and just look ahead and make some plans and promises to myself for the year ahead… I want to grow this blog: I have recently joined the Chronic Illness Bloggers Network and the Fibro Blogger Directory and these are just the first steps. I have a ton of articles saved at my Pinterest that I am going to actually read and implement. It can be hard to talk about…
Christmas day with chronic illness
Hey guys! First of all I want to say that I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas day if you celebrate and that you are enjoying the holiday season! My Christmas day was really nice, I honestly was very tearful Christmas eve because of missing my Grandad and wishing he was here. However, Christmas day my Dad and his girlfriend Linda bought my Nan over and we opened presents. I made everything I gave this year and I think they liked them, I did get the feeling they preferred the presents they got from Linda’s daughter Heidi because they talked about them a lot all day and never mentioned…
Cinema and christmas with chronic illness
Hey everybody Merry Christmas and Blessed Yule!! YESTERDAY I GOT TO SEE ROGUE ONE!!!! (No spoilers) It was amazing we saw it in 3D which I highly recommend because some of the scenes really pop out and you feel more a part of it. I fell in love with Jyn Erso she was badass and incredible so inspiring and I just love females taking charge and Star Wars is always good with those characters. I will say though that there were parts I struggled with there were a few places with shots looking down from ridiculously high places. I suffer with vertigo and I have a lot of dizzy spells…
Going out when you have a chronic illness
Hi everybody! Last night we went out you can see the evidence in the picture lol! I say that because I have my illnesses and Lee is on epilepsy medication and because of that we tend to not go out very often at night. We both find it difficult, Lee because he gets very tired in the evening and me because I get extreme back and shoulder pain in the evening so I generally get into bed early and watch TV. However, tomorrow is my Dad’s 70th birthday so we all went out for a meal, there were about 21 of us there and it was so nice. I got…
Trouble hearing
Hi everybody! So for about a month now I have had trouble hearing, this happens about twice a year for me and I put drops in for about a week then go see the nurse at my local doctors surgery and they syringe my ears. I am sure when I was a kid they should have done something to help but they didn’t so this is my life lol. So anyway I have been trying to get an appointment for three weeks which meant I could barely hear and then the other day I had a bath and my ears popped! Then I could hear and now I can hear…
Rediscovering baths
Hey everybody! So I have not had an actual bath in years, mainly because I am scared of falling and it is a pain having to have someone help you in and out of it. I did use to have a bath lift but it was not comfortable and you couldn’t have a nice soak using it so I lost interest and stopped having them. Then I watched a Lush haul video by one of my favourite You Tubers and I thought well they have nice products, kind to animals and they turn the water fun colours! So I got on the internet and I ordered some of their bath…
So excited for March getting tattooed
Hey everybody! Okay so I have found an incredible tattoo artist in the next town over from me, called Amy at Sirens Cove Tattoo Parlour Her work is so pretty and positive and colourful and I just love her style. She is going to be tattooing me in March just after my birthday with a picture of two ballroom dancers in memory of my Grandad and to celebrate over 70years of marriage between him and my Nan who was always his dancing partner. I went with hubby yesterday to get my arm traced so that she can design the tat and I have booked the whole day with her so she can…
Migraines and returning zest
Hey everybody! So this week has been very up and down for me, on a low point I had a two day migraine where I felt so sick and dizzy I just rested and could really do nothing else. The picture included in this post was from day two when Gizmo was giving me so many kisses to help me feel better and strangely it did! He stayed with me all the time and looked after me like a good little doggy. The day after I felt tired but I had to admit I was sick of the illnesses I have beating me! Since the beginning of this year I…
A lovely day and then the fallout…
Hey everybody! Well it has been quite the week and I apologise for the late update but you will see why this happened when I explain. So the day before yesterday me and Lee went and had our flu vaccinations and it did not hurt or anything however it does make you feel a bit rough for a few days. I however had something fun planned after so I was excited. Someone I met at Yoga and I went for a coffee, Lee stayed home with Gizmo and we went together. I met Jess at yoga class which we both love, and I must admit yoga has bought so much…
