The last week has been somewhat challenging. I've been ill with a cough and cold...then on Thursday I fell down the stairs and think I broke at least one toe (its Monday today and I still can't walk properly lol)...and then somewhere amongst all that I broke a tooth (I don't even know what day… Continue reading Testing Times

Me Time
Yesterday I managed to get an hour and a half of time alone (well, alone as I'll ever be with 3 Pugs and a cat who howls at me when he wants something!). So what did I do? My #teamtomm Level 2's lol. Yeah, I know...but I also managed to put my feet up and… Continue reading Me Time
Trial & Error
I'm on day 17 of being ill. Nothing new there then, whenever I get a cold it takes me weeks to recover (thanks to my dodgy immune system). Been Googling how to home treat a cough...and keep coming across the same advice..."get plenty of rest"...ha bloody ha! My house is a bit chaotic at the… Continue reading Trial & Error
When Being Negative Is A Good Thing
I've been proppa poorly since last Saturday ☹️ Blocked runny nose, coughing, sore throat, headache, and then on Sunday I lost my sense of taste and smell. I didn't realise that not everyone loses those senses when they get a cold. I just presumed it was the same for all of us. Apparently not lol.… Continue reading When Being Negative Is A Good Thing
The Brain Doctor
I read an article the other day which mentioned Dr Faye Begeti, otherwise known as The Brain Doctor. Absolutely love her tips and guidance on subjects like sleep, habits and mental health. There are so many people struggling right now with mental health issues brought on by this pandemic. I feel incredibly thankful that I… Continue reading The Brain Doctor
The Windows To My Soul
I've had problems with my eyes for years. Suffering frequent bouts of conjunctivitis, but also eye dryness and pain. My doctors treated me for a "blocked tear duct" for 15 years and I was finally referred to an Ophthalmologist who diagnosed "ocular migraines" about 8 years ago. But it turns out that all these issues… Continue reading The Windows To My Soul
The M Word…
I had an awful day yesterday. I felt (and still feel) utterly exhausted. I had a pounding headache all day and havent eaten anything since yesterday lunchtime as I felt sick. I feel like I have a hangover, with none of the fun part (ie consuming the alcohol in the first place). The only self… Continue reading The M Word…
Little Things
I still can't shift my eye infection ☹️ I think it's probably my mucked up immune system, I don't fight infections well and often have to use antibiotic cream on small cuts as they become infected. I'm not sure whether that's down to my anaemia or the PA. I've been using tissue to dab my… Continue reading Little Things
A Good Old Mope
I'm feeling pretty damn sorry for myself at the moment. My Ocular Migraine has now turned into an eye infection. Its happened many times over the years...I rub my eye (yes, I know I shouldn't) and end up with an infection. But this one is bad...I've never had it this bad before. Got some drops… Continue reading A Good Old Mope
Back to School
A couple of days ago I read a blog post by the lovely Sandra Madeira, where she mentioned a Podcast by Dr Rangan Chattergee, who is a GP and author. Now, I do love a podcast, so I eagerly scanned the episodes, hoping to find something relevant to me. And what do you know...Episode 11… Continue reading Back to School
