THAT WAS NOT FUN

 

Yesterday was a bit of an awful day for me.

I didn't mention it at the time, because it was still ongoing.

Trulicity (for me), causes constipation.  Really bad constipation.

I can go for days on end without anything happening ... without taking god awful laxatives.

Then I found .... Whitakers Banana Caramel Chocolate!   OMG a few pieces of that  and ...

The 'dam' breaks.  Yesterday was more than the dam breaking though.  I was 'going' all day long.

It got a bit much in fact.  I'm sure I lost 2 kilos in one day.

I think I overdid the chocolate.  Bugger.

Today, I hope it's over, and I have a better day.

I know what's worse than having the shits all day though... chronic constipation is 100 times worse!

My plans for today ... get the front room back to it's usual state.  I shall fold up the sofa bed, and put the exercycle in that room.  I will go back to sleeping in my own bed... hopefully Stew won't keep me awake.

Then I'm going to take the bird deterrents off the lawn, cos I reckon the grass has taken enough and the birds should leave it alone. 

I've got a bit of housework to get done as well, just folding and putting away washing, and vacuuming.  Stew, the bloody idiot, said he was going to do the vacuuming last night, until I told him NO WAY was he doing it!  

I know the floors look pretty bad right now, with threads and fluff etc all over... traipsed in from the sewing room by me.  But, it's not even bothering me for a change.  But yeah, it does need doing I suppose.

So there ya go, it's going to be a very average, boring day.

ONWARD...

10.15 am, and everything is back to 'normal' around here.   

It took a bit of 'husband brain' to work out how to fold the sofa bed up, but we got there.  Stew can still sit on the sofa with his leg up, so all good there.

The housework is ongoing, I've got a load in the washing machine, the vacuuming is done and ...

ABOVE: The front  yard looks fabulous again.

I reckon in a few more days that grass will be even more lush.  

We are going to The Base in a while, there's a couple of things I want to get, then we shall have lunch at Foundation.  

1.55 pm:  First stop at The Base was Acquisitions, where I wanted to buy some more wax melt things for the Scentsy things.  It's so nice having a nice smell wafting through the house sometimes.

And coming into winter, Coco always smells like... well, a wet dog.  It's not that nice.

ABOVE:    WHOOPS!  Might have seen something else while in that shop.  Ain't their bags lovely?  Well, I think they are very pretty.


ABOVE: There were just a few new Britto characters in the shop.  These two caught our eye and well... they are now in our cabinet.

I might add, the price has gone up sooooo much for them.  I don't know how they justify it.  But I suppose, if you want them, you will pay through the nose.  😖😕😓

ABOVE: Lunch was (for him) a lamb 'sandwich' with fries, and I had the Seafood Chowder.

Fingers crossed I don't get an upset tummy from the chowder, like last time we had it.

It is now 2 pm, and we are going to enjoy the rest of the afternoon chilling out here at home.

The acronym of the day is FISH.  

FUCK.  IT.  SHIT.  HAPPENS.

Or in my case, still happening.  Not fun.

On a brighter note, we both had a lovely nap this afternoon.

9.50 pm, and it's almost time for bed.  I spent a bit of time in the sewing room this evening, getting stuff ready for tomorrow, at craft group.    Then I spent until now watching Crime Docos on the telly.  Stew has been doing his exercises diligently, and now he adds in the exercycle.  He's still not getting the full rotation yet.  I hope he pushes through the pain eventually, and gets there.  Once that happens, it should really start to function better I'm sure.

OK, time to sign off for the day.

Catch ya tomorrow.

  4. hello, I have been away for the weekend. Went to a ""No KIngs" rally. The penultimate rally in St. Paul Minnesota. Where ICE agents have been gunning people down in the streets. It was awesome. Bruce Springsteen, Bernie Sanders, Jane Fonda, and Joan Biaz all made appearances!
    Also went to 2 concerts , and a play. Oh - and the Science Museum!

  7. I have messaged before about your constipation, one of the best natural things is organic golden linseed. Have some firm od cereal sprinkle on a. Dessert spoonful of seeds and gradually increase to one tablespoon . You shouldget a natural soft motion when you find your best amount. Don't fuss about not like milk etc. Etc. If you must put diet coke on cereal but please think about what's best for your body. And plenty of lovely fresh veg and fruit/salads. You do want a healthy old age don't you?
