You did the right thing, then
Had a tantrum and threw the frog I was making across the studio earlier then went and had a cry. I have injured my foot and its very painful. I am just feeling useless. I could not make or do anything today. H is upset as well as one of her new baby pet snails has died unexpectedly. Life feels (swear)(swear)(swear)(swear).
What have you done to your foot?
Sorry about H's snails..
Can you both do something lovely to be kind to yourselves?
Pulled my plantar fasciitis in my left foot. I did injure it some years ago and I remember it took months to heal.
Hanne and I took a class tonight. A is bringing her back a Chinese now. I have just treated myself to a banana. I may really push the boat out in a min and have a milky decaf coffee.
What are you doing to treat your foot? Is it worth talking to the doctor?
From when it happened before I know that the treatment is stretches and rest plus wearing shoes with instep support all the time, never going barefoot or even in slippers. I have a pair of shoes with memory foam soles and they do seem to be helping. Annoying thing is I was keeping them for when I wanted to go out and did not want a pair of shoes covered in clay from the studio or mud from dog walking.
I get plantar fasciitis too, so I totally feel your pain. Warmth helps when mine flares.
Are you able to rest it today? (Stop laughing)
Yes, I should be able to take it a bit easier
A bit? Still a bits more than not at all (bear)
What plans do you have for over the weekend?
The person who runs my Saturday groups for me is Ill so I am running 3 classes tomorrow. H &A are going away for the weekend so its just me, 4 cats, 1 dog,1 large fancy goldfish, 3 tanks of tropical fish and 4 giant African land snails....
Well, you didn't want to be bored did you? Blimey love, make sure you sit and eat and drink between classes etc...
What is worrying me tonight is that H and A are travelling to Ashford in Kent tomorrow and heavy snow is forecast for there. H has told me that I don't need to do anything with the fish and snails which is a relief
They aren't that far from me then. If they get stuck they can come and join in Fern's sleepover lol....
Hopefully they will make it to the hotel before the worst of it gets them stuck.
Went out for dinner (well McDonalds) with a friend tonight. Getting some junk food and a chance to get things off my chest has really helped
Sometimes, that’s exactly what’s needed. How are you this morning?
Really pleased you got out and did something positive to help you love.
Junk food and having a good chat often helps, glad you had a good time.
72 baby plants? What kind of plants? Where are you putting them?
Glad your friend came to run the classes. Have you eaten? Had enough to drink?
Various summer bedding plants although the 6 antirrhinum (I had to look up that spelling) were completely smashed.
I ordered them back in January. They did have to choose another cold spell to ship them.
I hope you enjoy planting lol
Four cats I thought you only had two Barney & Percy as I recall, have you adopted two more. The mind boggles (well mine does) as to how big are giant African land snails.
It's a busy weekend for you what with running classes and looking after a menagerie :) try and get some me time between classes.
We still have our old lady Hazel who is now 18 and we have a rescued studio cat called Mr Tiggs
Manufacturing day today. Made 8 mugs in preparation for my latest charity fund raising idea.
H and A are still away but too tired now to make myself dinner
Have you got something you can eat? Apart from tired, how are you feeling?
Hubby fetched McDonald's so I have eaten.
Feeling overwhelmed again. Too many plates spinning.
When do they get back? What's your schedule like for the rest of the week?
They got home about half an hour ago.
My schedule is the usual chaos.
Tomorrow prepare for the afternoon class that my friend J will take and load the kiln then catch up on admin and accounts till teatime then run the evening class.
Wednesday take dad out in the morning, do some manufacturing in the afternoon load the other kiln and take a class in the evening.
Thursday unload the first kiln then manufacturing in the daytime and take a class in the evening.
Friday load the kiln and unload the other kiln and setup stuff for the classes and do the admin
Saturday load the second kiln and help with the classes that J will take if necessary...
So not much really
Friday setup class
That's a lot of admin sessions - could you not take one out and put in "rest"?
I may have to. At the moment I feel I am going to burst into tears.
(bear)(bear)(bear) Can you take a break at all today?
(panda)
Well reducing my sugar has just made me grumpy and tired so I am starting to go back to old habits a bit although I am staying away from cakes
Oh no! Definitely don't need a grumpy Pen! I started by changing the sugar in my tea from 2 teaspoons to 2 sugar cubes and now I'm down to 1 sugar cube which is less than 1 spoon. I found it easier to do it that way.
Please may I be allowed to die now? I don't want to carry on.
What’s happened, lovely?
Oh lovely, what's made you feel like that?
(bear) (panda)
Nothing has happened I woke up like that this morning and the feeling has persisted
