Well, yesterday went by in a rush of feeding the ducks, playing at the swing park and making Bob the Builder cakes. All in company of very hyperactive young man called Stanley. (my grandson aged three) Collapsed, exhausted, on sofa at half past six after wrestling him to his Ma's car and waving to a tearful little face. He wanted to finish watching Nemo.

A huge effort need then to create appetising dinner. Not hungry myself as ate yummy chopped up leftovers from Stan's lunch. Dinner finally at eight and suddenly was hungry again. Damn my stunningly attractive roast potatoes! Take that how you will.

Actually got up in half decent mood this morning due to taking anti menopausal medication before bed. Herbal stuff. Tried the HRT. Took for four weeks and thought I was having heart attack.
'Oh yes,' said GP. 'Usual side effects.'
Checked them on net and found that they are made from the hormones extracted from the urine of pregnant mares, farmed in appalling conditions in US. That alone was reason for giving them a miss. So now take starflower, recommended for bringing back energy and a smile to even the most snappy and suicidal moments.

Memory loss, short term, is one of the worst symptoms I am experiencing. I can ask someone if they take sugar, get to the kitchen , der!! go back again and ask, have been known to do this three times before it lodges in the brain.
Often found in front of open fridge, wailing 'What am I doing here?'

Today, sunny but chilly. Do I wear a vest? Have run bath but done usual thing of logging on and getting lost here, I will go back to cold bath and wasted energy. Will run again and then have to rush as I have to go to Canterbury Hosp to get script for eye drops filled as local pharmacy will not order as too expensive. Can you believe that.
Sure I am talking to self here as still have not been added to blog lists. Must try today to work out comments button so at least my friends can drop in and let me know I am not alone here.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
If you are feeling like blowing your house up with your family inside it when you get up in the morning and the dog has peed on the carpet again and the other half is holding out a shirt for you to iron and the child cannot find PE kit and you have a headache and there are no clean cereal bowls. The lodger has been eating a late night snack and left the kitchen in a mess and the house is freezing because the emergency ran out on the elecricity meter at 8am............

GO TO THE BATHROOM, TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND SMILE AT YOUR SELF IN THE MIRROR.
GRIN AS WIDE AS YOU CAN, MAKE A FACE. THEN BEND DOWN AND TOUCH YOUR TOES FOUR TIMES (CAREFULLY) the go downstairs and smile sweetly at them all. Never send them out of the house with your shouts of anger ringing in their ears.
