Are you safe? Do you need emergency help?
Dont panic, I'm fine. I am safe and dont need help.
Well not fine maybe, but I am safe. I am battling the feelings which are strong tonight.
Have you got your therapy box out?
Not yet. I am watching a bit of TV. I have just had fish and chips. Now going to do some sewing. I have a feeling the box is a bit depleted at the moment.
Hope you've managed to distract and fight those thoughts.
lorazapan helped. Plus spending an hour sorting out and organising thee threads for my next cross stitch, although it will be a while till I finish the current one. Feeling really bad that I think I had an appointment for a haircut today and totally forgot it. I thought it was for next Friday but realised tonight that can't be right as its good Friday. I am also stressing about a talk I am giving at the end of April and sorting out a spot in the cream for M and getting the probate paperwork posted off.
Well done for distracting with the cross stitch last night. It’s tough, I know, but it’s good to see you using your coping mechanisms. Don’t worry about the haircut, there are worse things in life than missing a haircut ... wrt the other things you’re worried about, can you just deal with the most important/time critical one first and leave the others til that ones finished?
Glad you were able to distract a bit lovely.
Easily done about the hair cut, give them a call and apologise.
What's the talk about?
Called the hairdresser and whenever the appoint was for it was not yesterday as she was away! However made a new one now. I will try and get the probate paperwork sent today. I can't do anything about the crem till Tuesday. The talk is 45 minutes about the history of pottery to 90 oaps .
Well done for sorting the hairdresser!
Glad you've got through the probate paperwork, that's a feat in itself!
Good luck with the talk!
Had a long talk with H after she insisted I told her what was worrying me. There seems so much and it was a case of "and then there's" for about half an hour. It all seems too much at them moment.
Is it worth writing the list here too? Maybe we can help you prioritise or see the wood for the trees?
Its not just a list of what needs to be done but a worry list of what I should not have done. So first what needs to be done.
Write talk
Post probate
Call crematorium
Clean kitchen
Vacuum house
Finish pots I am making
Make more cows
Get cows onto etsy
Finish totem
Finish driftwood pieces
Call gallery to arrange delivery
Deliver totem and driftwood pieces
Set pricing for pieces for gallery
Do shopping
Go through the accounts and sort them out
Now for worry stuff
Been spending a bit recklessly on clothes and books
Just been fined by the NHS for a mistake I made. Now worried that it is the tip of the iceberg and the fines will run to £1000's
Worried about the talk
Worried that I have done the wrong thing with the clothes I bought as I discovered this morning holes developing in the blouses I bought from there a month ago and these new ones are the same material.
Worrying about how I am going to fix them
Worried about the garden and the amount of work that is going to be needed to get it straight for the summer and the charity garden party we are having in June.
Worried about my health
Will that do for now? Well you did ask!!!!
Oh and worried that bookings are down
And if I will be able to pay the next electricity bill
And be able to pay the tax bill this year.
What happened with the NHS?
I did not realise that my prescription exempt card had run out. I just thought that they had sent another card but I had misslaid it. They sent me a fine for claiming exemption when I was not entitled.
Can you not delegate any of those?
Nope. They are all my own worries
Why can't someone else do the shopping or call the crem?
Apparently it ran out at the end of October.
H has offered to call the crematorium on Tuesday.
She can't call the gallery until I sort out the artwork but even then she would be too anxious to do it. I am hoping that the weather is nice tomorrow and I will cycle up to the pharmacy to get my meds and do some shopping. It will be the first real cycle ride I have done for some years.
How are you feeling today?
Stressed. However I am looking forward to my bike ride and doing some gardening.
Hope that the cycle ride and the gardening help to calm your mind lovely x
Loving the sunshine. I am very proud of myself that I cycled the 2 miles to the chemist, had some lunch then cycled back!
Just been spending a few hours in the garden doing some long over due tasks. I feel so much better for the fresh air and exercise.
Good. Is there any way you can timetable fresh air and exercise in every day/couple of days?
So glad. I find it makes a massive difference to Marc...
I do walk the dog every day, but it would be nice to get out on the bike more however I am a fair weather bike rider plus I do also need to work. Tomorrow my son is taking me out for the afternoon to Weston Pier. Bazaarly although I have lived here for nearly 20 years I have not visited the pier since it was rebuilt in 2010 so he is going to take me to there. Looking forward to being a kid again on the rides and loseing money in the arcade :8)
Sounds like fun!
It was! Went on the go carts, they have a two level track which was great fun! I'm sure the boys who went before us had a longer go though...
Pfft! As long as you had fun!
Many a year since I went on a go kart, hang I don't think I've ever been on a go kart it was dodgems I was thinking of, glad you had a fun time.
I wanted to go on the dogems as well but at 6foot 3inches my son no longer fits and I was not going on my own.(rofl). I had a bit of a struggle fitting in the go cart and wondered if I would ever get out!
Hi guys. How you all doing?
Tuesdays are my Mondays and tonight it feels like a long week. I have been going at 90 miles an hour again and I am looking forward to our shut down week next week.
In the stupid way I work I have come up with a new pottery line, fat shaggy cats and I am getting a bit obsessed with them. Its stupid as I have no idea if I will be able to sell them. I think what has made me feel a bit down today though has been the added strain of looking after Dad. I had to get him to the doctors this morning and then had to go and visit him again later in the afternoon as well as making pottery and running a class.
What's up with your Dad?
You do need to find a way to pace - even through the busiest of times lovely - you just can't sustain it - mind you, the amount you work I don't think anyone could!
Pen, do you ever stop long enough to figure out whether you’re too busy to enjoy what you do?
Saw your shaggy cats on Facebook, I like the idea :)
