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
Making Mistakes
It's been snowing on and off, since Sunday here in Kent. We haven't had it this bad for years, and it's the first time its been ankle deep since we moved to this house 5 years ago. I'm not a fan of the snow I have to say. It makes me feel trapped as I… Continue reading Making Mistakes
Bedtime
Yesterday was a hectic day, so I didn't sit down and chill until about 9pm, and by then I was knackered and looking forward to my bed. We have a super king size...7 foot by 6 foot. I bought the frame for 150 quid on eBay back in 2016 because the owner had moved into… Continue reading Bedtime
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
Start As You Mean To Go On
I started 2021 with an Ocular Migraine, where my eye waters and I have a stonking headache. Its linked to my Psoriatic Arthritis (my immune system attacking healthy cells in my eyes) and can last a day or several. So yesterday morning at 5am I was popping painkillers with my first (and only) coffee of… Continue reading Start As You Mean To Go On
Napping
Having the husband at home does have its benefits 😉 Yesterday I was up at 4.30 popping pain killers, so I went back to bed for a couple of hours once everyone else was up. I do enjoy that quiet time in the mornings, when its just me and the cat, but only getting 5… Continue reading Napping
Napping
I've been having trouble sleeping, due to this bloody cold. I wake up coughing, cant breath through my nose...need the loo...and then cant get back to sleep lol. So yesterday (after only having 4 hours sleep the previous night) I gave in and had a nap on the sofa. Did I feel better afterwards?...ummmm...nope lol...probably… Continue reading Napping
A Bit of a Lie Down
Didn't get to bed until late last night (the husband had a chess match) so this morning I really didn't want to get up...I was knackered lol I'm sleeping an average of 7 hours a night now (thanks to the Magnesium!) but I feel like I could sleep for 8 or 9, if the Puggies… Continue reading A Bit of a Lie Down
Aromas
Today has been all about smells lol. I've always had an interest in Aromatherapy. At one stage, a few years ago, I even considered training as an Aromatherapist and working from home (the house we lived in at the time had a detached garage which would have been easy to convert into a therapy room).… Continue reading Aromas
