June has Hooned by

 Drinking: Peppermint Tea | Eating: Fruit Toast



Wow! Where did June go? Trying to add a new function to allow people to follow my blog as I just noticed the feed-burner one is ending. Typical! And it's already been one whole month since I posted last. I have been busy working admin for Turf Terminator and taking bookings for a scrap metal service. When I go out on the scrap runs I do the navigating, which I don't mind doing. And when I'm not working I'm trying to muster the oomph to get out of bed. Last night I was is so much pain I couldn't even get a restful sleep, which I do realise does not help fibro one little bit. It's been a little while since it's been that bad. I've been desperately trying to keep my stress levels down as a way of combating the pain levels, particularly as the usual Ibuprofen is not working. It's like what's the point I put up with the aches and pains and then the burning nerve pain on top of that and the sensory issues. I really don't know what to do when simple meds don't work like they used to, even with a few days break in-between taking them. I caught some kind of bug around my birthday on the 8th June and I've been sick on and off since then, it actually knocked me out I was bedridden for a few days; hubby was very worried about me. You can't even see a doctor these days when you're that unwell because everyone freaks that it's Covid-19.

It's been absolutely freezing lately, we don't have central heating in our home, and only one gas wall heater (in the lounge)- one of the those old upright ones on the wall. The lounge is a lovely temp but you certainly know when it's really cold as our bedrooms falls to about 10 degrees Celsius inside. I currently have my bedroom door shut and a little 2000 watt electric heater blowing hot air onto my thighs. I worry about the dollars this is going to cost me in the next bill as these kind of heaters can cost a heck of a lot of money to run. But in all honesty I think I would rather pay the bill then be freezing cold and in more pain. 

I've been keeping myself busy in my meagre down time with sorting my Pin boards out on Pinterest - I had like over 200 boards!! That's ridiculous, no wonder my followers were reducing they probably took one look and though - no way. There used to be a time when you could follow particular boards and not just the whole lot, I wish they would bring that aspect back in. I've also tried to get on to my Fashmates profile and create some more sets, that seems harder to get back into. I want to upload some more stock-art to my deviantart account too, but am yet to manage that one. I've just been way too busy with work and looking after the house.
