Viruses and all things blue

Well here i am again having to endure another virus, I've been feeling so bad that the last 3 days have been spent in bed, today i feel a little better with only a slight fluish feeling , this is almost always with me anyway as it is part and parcel of having cfs/me & Fibro 

I've joined an open ME group through FB its nice to be able to have online support and feel 'not so alone' but it does drain me being online writing and answering questions by other members.

I've decided to take up Jewellery Making as a hobby, i need something to do and it will hopefully help my coordination skills as well as my concentration. Also i'm looking forward to designing my own earrings etc.. There is a bead shop in town so i'm excited about going there and looking at all they have , i feel a spending spree coming on.

Colin applied for a carers grant from the carers trust,  to take me on a holiday or short breaks , glad to say we got it and we are planning meals out and theatre shows i particularly would like to see :) our first is Dancing on ice ( the last show) and a meal out :) Its been so long since we have been out as a couple because of my health and the fact i take panic attacks when out, but i'm really looking forward to our date and i am hoping upon hope that my health will be fine and i will manage to get out and enjoy the show .

I think i would rather spread the grant throughout the year going to see shows rather than on one payment towards a holiday , I've always worried that we booked a holiday then i would get a flare up and have to spend the full holiday in bed.

I do miss having a lovely hot bubble bath tho and this is something guaranteed when going on holiday ( as long as Colin can lift me in and out of the bath)

Its great to see the sunshine even although i've been told that its cold outside , and i'm looking forward to going out once the weather heats up a bit :) 

Enjoy your day and smile :)

Moving on from last blog ...

Well .......

I'm much better pain wise, my meds have kicked in and they are helping a lot :) I was seen at the hospital for a lump i had on my mouth so they took it out and now i have 3 stitches and a very sore mouth , I get my stitches out this Thurs 7th March . I'm dreading it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I joined YouTube again to help me find something to do during the day other than just watching TV or sleeping. I was a member way back in 2012 and it good to go back . I've not contacted any of my old friends but i'm sure that in time our paths will cross. My channel is dedicated to the romantic in me . Maybe i will post some of my poetry i don't know. I used to make music videos and add my poetry so maybe I'll do that again.... maybe ...

I've joined an online Fibromyalgia support site i've also joined an cfs/me chat room connected to fb , i've made a few online friends there whom i chat to , but all in all i find it very tiring , but good to be able to socialise this way. I would recommend.

We lost little Alfie about a month ago , he had a blood clot in his heart. So unusual for a young cat for he had just turned 2 years old . Miss him so much . We are now in the process of buying a Maine Coon kitten , we get her in April and i can't wait. We've named her Kiesha . Poor Kismet is so lost without Alfie so she needs a cat friend .

meet Kiesha 

Sounds like i've done quite a lot, but i've not really . Haven't been out except for hospital appointments . I'm looking forward for better weather, saw the first crocus of springtime last week :)

Need to nap now so will finish my blog.


 Feeling tired .......
