have a good day - how about omlettes for a light lunch?
Good morning everyone although it is nearly 1.pm here on bank holiday monday and i am so enjoying being on my own and not having any kind of schedule. I have been so busy for the last couple of weeks or more and kind of tied to particular times for things which tends to really depress me. I hate the lack of freedom when i am tied to times. I was up around 7.30am for breakfast and then spent the morning on the computer doing some work and also skyped my sister in california. she's doing a lot better - has two part time jobs now after nearly two years of being unemployed so she can now breathe again which is very difficult when you have major depression. i hope she will be able to keep up with the jobs because for some strange reason she won't apply for disability. coming back to ireland would probably be a good move for her as we have a wonderful social welfare system here - she would get a house and everything - free medical care - so many benefits on disability here. and you're allowed to work part-time to a certain amount if you want to. i am heading to the pool again shortly, i did 60 25metre lengths swimming yesterday and 20 lengths walking and swimming and then took an hour's walk when i got home and the fibro is coping with it which is great. i started on lidocaine patches recently and i find them very good with no side effects.
i think hot apple, lemon, raspberry, sultana and plain scones would be in order today with all types of preserves and fresh cream to go with them. i will leave them on the bain marie to stay warm. dig in and enjoy. it's great to be able to eat all you want here in the lounge and never gain an ounce!!!
have a good day everyone.
in bed now with laptop and coffee - it is 11.40pm here. what is everyone else up to?
