I get it too....... (bear)(bear)

I got that a lot when I lived at home. Now, Gerry and I have a very similar sense of humour, so normally what he finds funny, I do too and vice versa. It will be the same when you move in with J.
It's not just what is said but the way it is said, some people can say something and it just comes across as downright nasty as though they are putting you down, others can say the very same thing but with a glint in their eye and a cheeky grin and you know instantly they're just having a bit of fun with you.
How are you today lovely?
Tired. I was going to start the washing today but haven't even found the energy to get up yet
(panda)(bear) Hope you're OK love
I sometimes forget that fatigue is a symptom of RA so going to take it easy today and probably cross stitch
Good for you! Self care is important.
Good girl ;)
I feel like I'm wading through treacle today. Everything feels like such a huge effort. My mums commented that I look pale too. I am trying to rest though.

We all have days like this. Try to rest and do something nice for yourself (panda)
(bear) Lovely... Do what you can to be kind to you today....
I've bough my dad some plants for his aquarium for fathers day so helped him place them, and done 2 loads of washing. This evening is either tv or Jane Eyre
(panda) how are you feeling now?
Overwhelmed... it's been far too peoplely and my parents have been out most of the day...
Then rest tonight?
That's the plan
Hope you're resting.
I've read a little and been watching Graham Norton clips
How are you this morning?
Still feel like I'm wading through treacle. But I've put a wash on and have hoovered through downstairs. Just come up to shower and walking upstairs felt like a huge effort. But going to cross stitch or read between washes and J is planning to pop down before work as he doesn't think she'll bother about fathers day.
It's good that you are going to pace today lovely...
Wading through treacle def sums up getting through the day. Everything feels like such an effort with mental health. I think that's why people say "mind over matter" because there's an acknowledgement that our mind is the most important aspect to our wellbeing. I read an analogy that refers to the mind as a computer like how a hard drive gets filled with clutter in the background that can't so easily be removed. It slows down a computer like how negative thoughts can slow down our minds over time. It's like our brain chemistry has become untangled over the years & we need somethin to manage it (like an antivirus with a computer for instance). Random I know (blush).
I have RA. Fatigue is something I suffer with a lot with that. It will pass in a few days, it usually does :)
I’m very impressed that you’re recognising that this is a symptom of RA and not beating yourself up over it
I've still finished the washing. Probably shouldn't have but it needs doing.
Apart from that are you being kind to yourself?
Trying. I'm either going to read or watch TV tonight
I hope you're resting....
I cooked cherry and almond tart and custard (from frozen. The tart that is, not the custard...) I'm going to fill my water bottle up and go settle down with my book though.
Hi, lovely, how are you doing?
Morning gorgeous, what's on today's agenda?
I'm tired. I was awake at 5am and couldn't get back to sleep. Managed to doze off about half 8 and the gardener woke me up. So not planning on doing very much today. Maybe some cross-stitch
Be kind to you lovely. Can you have a nap during the day if you need to?
I can, going to just lay and read I think, really enjoying Jane Eyre at the moment
Just found out my cousin has died. She died last Monday but her own family have only just found out. Part of me feels bad that I don't feel sad but I never really knew her. I wouldn't have a clue what she looked like.
Sorry love....
From that side of the family I've only ever had contact with the middle two. Not really bothered about her brother, which sounds harsh, I know, but I have my reasons. It's her sister I really feel for. She cares for her dad who has leukaemia, her youngest daughter has neurofibromatosis, and her husband has lung cancer and maybe a year left. I may not be close to her but I admire her strength so much.
