Linking in with Miss Cinders at Saturday Morning Ogre Mum for Things I Know because (as she is always so good to point out, and remind us, We all know sh*t.)
- I know that I am soooooooooo happy with the Suns' win over St Kilda - what a great game it was to watch, even the second time when we got home, and the third time the next morning when K came over and the fourth time on the replay on Sunday afternoon.
- I know that I am soooooooooo tired of being tired - hopefully the glucose tolerance test and the cortisol tests tomorrow will show something isn't right and we can work towards getting it sorted out so I don't feel like this all the time.
- I know that I can sleep waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay longer than I ever thought possible.
- I know that cutting down on my exercise regime is the right thing for me to do right now - I will get back into it when we have some answers and can fix things.
- I know that I love having the old K back visiting us. We saw a fair bit of her over the weekend and it was just lovely - she was an absolute pleasure to have around - long may it last.
- I know that I am happy that our vanity has been installed into the spare basin and we can work on getting the veranda cleared / tidied now that the vanity isn't there anymore.
- I know that I am missing my folks so much and can't wait for them to get home. It's so good to hear that they are enjoying themselves and having a bit of a break while they are there but it will be even nicer to have them home again.
- I know that I have been feeling so much better recently (except for the tiredness) - the mood swings and irritability have been so much better, I haven't had an anxiety attack for a while now and the night sweats and itches have both been bearable of late. Now if we could just get my weight and my skin under control - life would be grand !
- I know that I like hot x buns more than I like easter eggs (Note - more than easter eggs NOT chocolate).
- I know that my enthusiasim for crocheting seems to come and go for no apparent reason - I hope it comes and stays for a while before winter begins so I can make more blankets for the poor children who don't have any.
- I know that the few tasks I set for myself for the long weekend didn't get done.
- I know that I have been kind to myself and not beaten myself up for not doing above mentioned tasks - they are still on the list and will get done when I can get them done.
- I know that I have not been blog reading / commenting / answering comments on my own blog as regularly as I would like - see "I know" immediately above.
- I know that it is Tuesday which means it is #IBOT with Essentially Jess today.
Have a great short week and take care !
TFTD : The real issue is never the issue itself. The real issue is your attitude toward the issue.
I never finish everything on my list!! Glad you are feeling better!!
ReplyDeleteOh, thanks Ann - that makes me feel heaps better !!!!! My list is a never ending list but I have always worried that I am the only one with a never ending list !!
DeleteHave the best day !

Sounds like you're still on a bit of a roller coaster. Has K moved out, or is she living at your folks while they're away? I'm glad you are being kinder to yourself and I have EVERYTHING crossed for some results from these tests. I've been sick myself lately - terrible cough and just feeling plain "blah" so have not been very active either. xox
ReplyDeleteIt's no good that you have been sick - so hard to be active when you don't feel 100%.
DeleteK is still staying at my folks place while they are away - they get back next Friday so will see what happens after that.
Take care and look after yourself !
Me
I feel the same as you, tired and all. I set myself tasks this weekend that just never happened, mainly washing the cars and washing the windows. Today is another day so we will see. I can't wait to get my knitting out again and would love to be able to crochet. Done lots of blogging/reading though. Sending you wishes to feel better soon. xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Rae - I love crocheting - it is so much quicker than knitting but I can't watch TV while I crochet like I can with knitting :(
DeleteMaybe if I can find a laptop that works I can take it with me tomorrow and catch up on blog reading / commenting while I wait for the tests which are going to take 3-4 hrs.
Have a great day and rest up when you can.

ReplyDeleteSo pleased to hear that you've been kind to yourself and tapered things back at the moment where necessary. Also pleased to hear that the mood swings and anxiety has curbed somewhat, that most be a relief. Wishing and praying for you that you get answers on your other woes.
ReplyDeleteYou're such a sweet soul making all those gorgeous blankets for little ones. Bless you. X
P.S - how doesn't like a good hot cross bun?
Thanks Trudie - I hope that you are keeping well and everything is going according to plan.
DeleteGood luck for the upcoming market.
Have a great week !
Me
i have been similar lately - thinking of you!! good that you are cutting yourself some slack.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb - it feels good to be kind to myself - I got so tired of beating myself up the whole time !!!
DeleteTake care !
Me
It wouldn't be a list if it was empty. Take care of yourself, I hope you can get some answers soon.
ReplyDeleteWhich sounds really weird.. but I mean, it is ok to have things on a list, it may get longer but, when you can manage you can prioritise those things and get back on track.
DeleteThanks Sophie - you are right - if it was empty it wouldn't be a list !! They will all still be there when I get back into the swing of things.
DeleteHave the best day !
Me
Well done on your sleeping impressive. Sometimes we need to let some things go and find out what is most important to us. Hope you are feeling better soon. xx
ReplyDeleteThansk Eleise - I think I will be really happy when I know why I am so tired all the time - here's hoping something comes from the tests today.
DeleteHave the best week !
Me
Hope you get some answers soon lovely, you poor thing, nothing worse than feeling tired and run down all the time. Fairy wishes and butterfly kisses lovely, glad you are ok with slowing the exercise down. It is all good to push yourself but sometimes it can be too much
ReplyDeleteThanks Rhianna - it's taken me a while to realise that burning myself out is not the best thing I can do for me !!! At least I realised it before it was too late! Now I just want answers.
DeleteHave a great day !
Me
There is quite a bit of insight and silver linings in this list.
ReplyDeleteI hope you find your answers and the tiredness goes away.
look after yourself xx
Thanks Josefa - I can't wait to get some answers !!
DeleteHave a great week !
Me
I think menopause sucks! Look after you, Me. It's important!
ReplyDeleteLOL Liz - never a truer word was spoken !!!!!
DeleteHave the best week inspirational lady !
Me
Good on you for sleeping, its obviously what your body needs right now. Hope everything else is sorted soon!
ReplyDeletexx
Thanks Mrs BC - it has taken a while to accept that it is OK to sleep this much but I am finally there !!!!! I know it is what my body needs and everything else will just have to wait.
DeleteHave the best week !
Me
I also love buns instead of choc! And wow that is a lot of sleep, I have about 5 hours a night, with no more than 4 in a row. I really hope you get some answers because it sucks being tired for no reason. I also think it's so lovely you still have your parents around to miss ( I do too but so many don't)
ReplyDeleteAs for not getting around everyone's blogs, we are here, we're not going anywhere and I LOVE when you're back! Em xx
Thanks Em - when I think to back to the number of years when I had 3-4 hrs sleep at the max - I have no idea how I survived. Now when I am sleeping 14-16hrs a day on the weekend - I have no idea how I can sleep this much !! Hopefully there will be some answers from the tests today.
DeleteHave a good week !
Me
As long as you're taking care of yourself that's all that really matters. I hope you start to feel better soon and enjoy the long sleeps while you can!
ReplyDelete#teamIBOT was here!
Thanks Kylie ! At the moment I am battling to stay awake long enough to be able to go to sleep at a reasonable time tonight !
DeleteHave the best week !
Me
So glad that you are feeling better - I hope they do have an answer to your tiredness soon too. BTW I have been indulging in a few too many hot cross buns too - definitely better than the dodgy chocolate in the eggs I bought for Easter (yes, I bought cheapo ones and I've learned my lesson for next year!) Stay safe and I hope you feel even better soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kirsty. We learned early on it is better to get fewer decent eggs than a whole bunch of dodgy cheap ones that never get eaten. When you find easter eggs in the back of the fridge at easter the next year - you know that nobody liked them !!!
DeleteTake care and look after yourself !
Me
You'll sleep as much as you need hun, and the things on your list will get done in their own time.
ReplyDeleteKeep looking after you!
xx
Thanks Lisa - that is what I am working on doing !!! If only I wasn't so tired !!!!! LOL
DeleteHave the best week !
Me
Sleep as much as you want dear. All of us need that :) I hope your tiredness will go away soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by - I also hope that it will be resolved soon. Hopefully there will be some answers from the tests today.
DeleteHave a great week !
Me
I know - you need to look after you.
ReplyDeleteI know - it's okay that you haven't been running. Because that means you're resting and looking after you.
I know - the 'old people' ;) will be missing you as much as you are missing them.
Fingers crossed your tests give you some kind of answer. I hate being sick for what seems like forever and not knowing why. It's the worst :(
Thanks for linking up sweets xxx
Now back to bed with you and rest!!
Thanks Miss Cinders - I'd love to go to bed and rest but unfortunately it is month end which means that accounts need to be completed !! But on the weekend - my bed is certainly calling me (I can hear it already !!!)
DeleteHave the best weekend and take care !
Me
Sorry to hear that you are not too well and can't find out what is causing it. Good luck in your endeavours to get well.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn
Thanks Carolyn - I think it is a case of being patient and working through a process of elimination - hopefully it won't take too long as patience is definitely not one of my strengths !!!
DeleteHave the best weekend !
