Sore throat.

I’m feeling rough today, I have a very sore throat, but I also have a very achy back. If I bend forward I’m getting shooting pains down my leg. I feel shattered and I’m trying to look after myself, drinking plenty of fluids and taking pain killers. Last week I managed to go shopping, and I noticed lots of people were coughing and sneezing, I guess that’s where I caught whatever this is?

Sorry to be moany. I need to get things  done tbat I had planned to do today, feeling frustrated. I  guess I’m looking for sympathy, I want to be fit and healthy, rant over!

Upset

I hope it’s obvious what I’m talking about!

I won’t go into detail but I’ve lost 3kg over the last couple of days. I think I have caught a virus, and that and a damaged rib has made for a painful few days. I’ve not been out of the house in a while. Luckily a relative visited but I wasn’t on my own. But I ache all over and she made me small meals to keep me going. I’ve slept in an armchair because I couldn’t get upstairs or lie down. I just hope I’m feeling better soon.

Scrolling

Why.

Today has been a “nothing” day. I had a letter that upset me this morning and I tried to contact some support but there was no reply. I wrote a long winded email and sent it although I doubt it will help.

All day my ears have been whistling and whooshing. I think my ears are slightly blocked although I have slight tinnitus sometimes. That’s made me feel under the weather.

It was a mainly gray day. I didn’t want to go out so I basically spent a lot of time scrolling through my phone. It’s not good. I was also watching TV out the corner of my eye, the epitome of multi tasking. Now I’m not sure what to do. I don’t have a plan. I’m very stuck, procrastinating. Help!

Chair, what chair?

After getting rid of my old armchairs yesterday, I was waiting for the delivery of the second hand replacements today. It’s been a few weeks since I chose them but I couldn’t have them till the old ones went.

I rang up the warehouse to check on the delivery. We will give you a call when the van is near you, within half an hour…

OK I said, so when I got a call I thought I was going to receive them. But no, we can’t find your chairs, they said. Can you come up and identify them? So I went.

Is that the chair you chose? Yes, but I chose two, there is only one? Oh, the woman said, I was off for a week and noticed one was missing when I got back? I was surprised and annoyed. You’ve sold the other one? It was reserved. I needed ones that will go through our front door (it’s narrow), and small so my feet touch the ground (I have short legs).

We looked everywhere but the other chair was gone. But I need two for when visitors come round. I was getting upset. Why do things always go wrong? Another volunteer said they have a similar chair on their van. They will bring it along tomorrow and I can decide if I want it or they will owe me one! I came home feeling dejected. I had to go to a charity for the chairs and so I don’t have the choice I would have in a store. I know it’s a first world problem but…..
