A Kinda Rant.....

skezier

Hi Louise,

Oh flower that was a bad time to be up and about! I hope you got some more sleep? You don't want to add sleep deprivation into the mix.

The horses go for the winter and will be off soon..... sooner than he thinks actually...... I need what strength I got for the employers and the cold is knocking me already.... Hey did you have a few frosts this past week? Bit too high here and open... well in as much as the pits let it be

Appreciate your support and sending back a ton of hugs and a hope that you did honestly get some more kip there.

Hey bit of sun today so off to do a fence walk....... Love and a (((( )))) Cris xx

Hi Iris,

I know that your spot on..... I must try and get out of the demanding care thing cus had there been an ejector seat it would have been used last night! past the estuary as well Oh so tempted.......

Missed K this morning as well.... obviously he didn't notice one of his horses was missing..... says it all eh?! My biggest problem is I got fond of the lodgers and felt sorry for them and that's not gong to break any time soon..... They do go soon, one sooner than some I think..... Bless her she is just an escapee...... But its so hard to do all this trogging about to find her.... even J asked me why I was lame last night! :shock: :shock: :shock: I was amazed cus normally.......

I did get 5.5 hours kip so that's ok Mind it took me over an hour to stop shivering.... I did have the cars heater on but apparently 'normal' people get too hot then and when we got down to just a t-shirt and a threat that could come off I turned the heater down and opened the windows Being that wet and already cold that wasn't good but preferable to the alternative that seem to be likely

Warmer today Over blankets really do help when cold is the worst enemy out there. Being dry today what ever happens!

Sending you up a ((((( ))))) and a cuppa with side dish of dandelions and some lettuce and a special honey dipped chew stick. I have put an anti DD trap round it all Love Cris xxx

Hi DD,

Oh that is so true.... don't matter what you do its not going to be right..... I starting to snap actually..... Couldn't even wash up properly (she does it a different way... what does she do then take it to a river? Put it in the washing machine I mean come on!)

Hope you are okish and sending you a honey stick so you don't feel left out. Love and (((( )))) xx

Hi Berty,

Hugs appreciated flower and I will get my head back soon... or lose the second one at any rate Going to try not rant too much today....... Shall go find the hole and get it fixed and got a visitor later so that will help to shake me out of this mood..... Love and a (((( )))) Cris xx

joanlawson

Gosh Cris, it makes me exhausted just to read about all the things you do :!: :shock: :shock: I don't know where you find such reserves of energy. It makes my life seem positively sedate in comparison :!:

Looking after my son's two dogs today, so Tommy isn't speaking to me :!: :roll: He has retired to bed in disgust :!:

Wonkylegs

OH Cris :shock: :shock: :shock:

words fail me again :shock:

please please do think about what Iris said .... when puch comes to shove you have to be your first priority (yes, even before the 'employers' ) and others will have to find other ways of getting their own help. it is out there if they try.

sending you a huge pile of warm and dry wonky hugs (((((((()))))))))

hi Cris, seems it's time to put your foot down hun! As far as I can see you are running after everyone, animals included. Surely you should be putting yourself first, at least some of the time? I don't how you will keep going if you don't.
In any case, whether you put your foot down or not, I'm sending you a very large hug.
take care.

skezier

Hi Joan,

Oh I don't have any energy at all... I plod and mumble cus it all hurts so much but has to be done......

Hey that the 2 springer's? You lucky woman! You know ever since I lost mine I have quietly wanted another.... think I might but them I think will I be able to see a pup through to 17?!

Enjoy your company and Tommy will forgive you later ((( ))) Cris xx

Hi Wonky,

I know Iris is right....... she usually is actually. I don't know as I know how to put my self first flower..... see like I said I am still work in progress

This lot and the sheep are doerble but add in the water and the go getting the escapee and them J who gets quite nasty if I don't do what ever it is she wants and my dislike of aggro and well I shall take the hugs and go sit and rock in the corner

I have found the way out so best go do the fence thing first I guess.... So much to do and so little strength to actually do it

Give us a hand Wonky Miss l legs could come sort out the draining thing that I have to take shopping later... she does bite though does she?

The increased mtx isn't helping I am wished beyond wished

Still been a bit better today... haven't yelled once but once I have nailed the fence to a tree and she gets cut you will hear me even there.

Leaving you a ((((( ))))) and a cuppa. Love Cris xxx

Hi Sally,

You snuck in there

Ta for the hugs and well putting your foot down is what I nee to do.....

I think shutting the mare in last night was a start cus I can't keep getting her back and I do need to talk to the owner cus I think they need to have half gone now...... He has said he is going to take a couple but they are still here :roll:

I will work at foot downs but the real problem is I have been trained to give way all my life and people seem to know that don't they?!

The employers are all damaged and they have to have boundaries but if you get too tough with them they sort of fall apart... we have a lot in common eh?! Maybe that's what made me go for the damaged and rejected animals

Leaving you a ((((( ))))) and a hope your feeling a lot better? xx

dreamdaisy

You sure that the one criticising you over the washing up isn't my mum? I'm not aware that the old girl has legged it down to Cornwall but you never know . . . I have had two weeks of not doing things properly, I don't make tea properly, I can't make coffee properly, I don't wash up correctly, I don't put the right amount of washing powder in the machine, I can't cook very well, I don't make a bed in the proper way, I don't know how to peel a potato yadda yadda yadda. Right, think teenageer for this bit: Wo'evah.

What she actually means is I do things differently to her, ergo I don't do them right. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I am glad that the horses are off soon, you soooooo don't need their extra-heavy care work at the moment, so that will be one problem solved. I hope you are having a better day today. DD

skezier

Hey DD it may well be cus its exactly the same

All we have to do is make sure we don't end up the same Mind sometimes one of my dogs seems to say 'I wouldn't have done it like that'

Hey I know wo'eva... used it as well as talk to the hand... she is impervious actually... and does get nasty and that I really do buckle with so shall be troggng round A tonight..... Though a visitor might be the excuse I need....

Hope your ok there and they don't really mean it you now... I think its born from frustration of not being able to do it them selves..... (((( )))) xx

dreamdaisy

No, it's just her. She has always been like it. I must admit a similar trait is now creeping into me, as Mr DD is keen to point out (as I turn down the gas under a pan when he is cooking but he WRECKS our saucepans by using too high a heat). Mind you, as I have said before, I am surprised he notices - he is very busy turning into his father.

You have a visitor? Of the human ilk? This is a good thing, yes? Not too much extra work I hope? DD

skezier

Hi DD,

Human and she will give me a huge kick up the back end as well! I might need that to get the veneer back It should be good though and well the only extra work is getting tidied up cus I only found out she was coming this morning..... I kinda like more notice You go careful flower and a ((( ))) and is the bucket still working? xx

dreamdaisy

Of course it is, all skezier buckets work, adn work brilliantly! The cope may need to be sent back to skezier&frogmorton re-fluffers tho, it's not doing too well at the mo. It has lost its lustre. As has its owner. :roll: DD

Wonkylegs

littlelegs has just finished sharpening her teeth on her favourite chew bone, so will leg it down to you asap

...... she loves to get her teeth into things (so to speak ) but has, as yet, no proven track record of attacking humans.

as for tidying up - don't!! they are coming to see you not do a kit inspection

please be kind to yourself ..... just a teeny weeny bit? .... just for us?

go on .... you know you can if you try

love and hugs

WOnky

and a bucket of slurps for himself (and a stern word for the escapee)

annie_mial

Hi Sky-Ranter........how are things going, I hope your visitor is making it easier for you........tidying up? Whatever for?

It's dawned on me with a resounding clunk (and for the umpteenth time) that I have a shell I retreat into when things get bad.....no wonder I adopted Sidney Snail earlier this year.....like calling to like!

It's getting rather thin in places again..........do you know anyone (or anything, come to that) good for thickening shells? Mine's a real pretty one when I bother to shine it, but it has been doing hard duty just lately. If I don't keep it shined and in working order it gets very brittle and is easily broken.

I suspect a lot of peeps here have the same problem.

Hang in there, maid.........times will get better.........

Hi Cris,

I do hope you are feeling a little better tonight. I really dont know what to say , i think it has been said already.

sending you ((((()))))

Take care

Hi Cris, I think if you are a giver then it's very hard to be otherwise and I applaud you for it. Who wants to be mean and selfish? The thing that I find hard is balance! You've got to put yourself first sometimes.

I'm not doing all that well. Although my knee is loads better I think I am reacting badly to the Hydroxy - feeling a lot of anxiety and despair and can't seem to settle at anything. It says it is one of the side effects though, to be fair, I think I have been feeling down for a while. But the anxiety is def new and v unpleasant.

Waiting for building work to start in the flat upstairs. It will go on for a month and I don't think I can stand it. But can't go to the studio every day as joints not co-operating. Slightly worried as to who is moving in. My last neighbour had her faults but she did go to bed early so rarely kept me awake. God knows who will move in next. I suppose worrying about it won't change anything and I might be lucky.

There's an almighty wind outside tonight, is it the same in Cornwall.?

Hi DD,

I got your cope and have had a bit of a talk to it to try and see what its issues are and will pass it over to Daisy to fluff it up a bit though she also might dye it Its not the best colour just now is it flower? hang in there and it will be back strong and fluffy soon. ((((( ))))) xx

Hi Wonky,

Oh he has a track record but this woman brought him with food.. he has that weakness as well I got him cus he was biting people.... he had me a couple of times as well but it was just his psychoses and is all gone now though he does still have a few give aways still......

He has gone to be and I wont be long behind him today i don't think..... Tied and did go to A to do the shopping... Visitor came too, didn't get to use the excuse

The escapee has been beaten for now... she will find another weakness mind but the one she was using is wired up...... It gets hard eh?!

I have now shouted..... very loud at the calves, the world and the universe but that all Leaving slurps and ((( )))'s Love cirs xx

Hi Annie,

That reminded me o a super tramp song called hide in your shell... a really nice track but I could identify with it.

How do you toughen it... well don't have a shall any more but do have a wall and if bits start to crumble I just repair it so with the shell if you use this shell tonic it hopefully will harden up and shine.

I use too much visualization but if you can see it it might help?

Rowan said he is very glad to be out of the barn again though in a force wind like this and driving rain he might be rethinking it

Sending you a ((((( ))))) and a hope your ok? xx

Hi Rose,

Hugs are always welcome and me well I remain work in progress but having a visitor was good cus we have really talked about it all and it feels less scary really. Still wound up and still worried but its kinda helped

Leaving you a (((( )))) and a force 5-6 with rain... normal November weather here about xx

Hi Sally,

Oh we got a gale, maybe not quite gale but its a got to be gusting to a 6.

I hope you get good neighbours see that were I am lucky but its come at a prince eh?!

Sorry about the reaction. I wonder how long it might take for it to wear off? Did anyone say to you? I really hope it will stabilize for you and just as important it will help you! It would be about time eh?!

When do you next get seen flower? Leaving you a (((( )))) and a hope xx

Right I have had 250 pregabs tonight, 275 gave me a head rush but I really hope the 250 wont. I had 300 this morning and was okish and good to have a bit less pain

You all take care and I shall dodge the hallucinations as best I can now.... if its the dancing tree it better do a decent song!

dreamdaisy

Thank you for talking to the cope: its main issues are the future I think, and all that entails. It is also failing to control pain, but I suspect that is due to the fact I keep forgetting to wear it - it makes me too hot tho, blasted pred sweats are in full force at the mo. Oh, one just cannot win, can one? It's an exasperating life.

I hope you had a better night, no hallucinations but perhaps a bit of deadmau. Enjoy the guest today, I don't think you are in need of a kick up the backside, more a huge hug, so I hope she's the huggy type and that you are in the mood to accept! Right, you know what's coming: ((((((())))))), and some love too. DD

frogmorton

Hi Cris

Soooooooooooo glad about the visitor I KNOW she will be just the tonic for you....

Now DD

Daisy has got your Cope...

As you can see it looks a bit panicky at the moment and is prone to bouts of crying :shock:

Do not fear

we shall look after it for a while and see what we can do....Daisy is looking in my Mum's sewing box as we speak....

Love

toni xx

skezier

Hi DD,

Talked to it abut the future and lkie me don't look at it cus its not necessarily going to be as bad as you think just now......

It knows that now.....

Daisy has fluffed it up but might still be mending it but we shall get it back to you before the forum goes down ok?!

Leaving you a ((((( ))))) and a huge hope your feeling much more able to cope with the reinforcement its had? Love Cris xx

Hey All,

Better day,...... except.... the poor sheep....

Its not her hoof its her shoulder and I would put money on that! Will have to get the vet in and well.....

That aside its not been as bad a day.

The pony hasn't got out... there is a huge amount of wind and rain but my mate ha kicked me hard up the backside and well tomorrow can take care of its self...

She also said she might be able to do a couple of days of the drip and will floor that sister! That's 2 friends who have said it and though neither may be able to it makes me feel less scared......

I have had a terrible fatigue attack on the A30 while driving and it was so hard ..... that's a first and hopefully a last but take the prefabs at 250 and wide awake now.... I wish this would settle... it might eh?!

Shall leave a ton of hugs here fr you all and hopes in the bucket over there.

You all take care. Cris xxx

dolittle

Hello Cris,
I don't usually look in the Chat bit, but I've been pattering about the house all night ... you know how it is ... so I'm fiddling with the 'puter.

Can I ask you a question, please? How the b....... hell do you cope? My God, what determination you have!!!!! I thought I had a nightmare to cope with but, having read this thread, I think I've changed my mind! Can't DO anything to help, but send you some (((( )))))s and my admiration for how you seem to keep your chin up.

Tell you what ... if there's any individual you need sorting out, I'll join the posse. My mate doesn't call me 'basher' for no reason. We've got a gale up here, so hopefully yours has gone. I do hope today will be better .... I'll be thinking about you and counting my blessings. You won't know how you've helped me.
Dolittle

Hi Do,

Hey you got a deal... I have this problem in January and all I ever do is roll over and play dead!

The gale sot of went and then came back for a bit but its not more than a 5-6 now.... I hope its dry tomorrow as I will be dead by midday i believe...... couldn't make a fence out of matchwood and got a mate staying who has decided I got to make a stand... only they doing it for me and i reckon I would be better off hiding

Hope your asleep and stay asleep cus you was up early today for sure. I also hope your feeling ok and not going down to the shed in your dressing gown? hey least in the rain if I have to wonder out at night I do put jeans on

Leaving you a ((((( ))))) and a hope flower. Cris xx

Hi Julie,

Wow chocs and I was doing so well on the diet today.... not I just couldn't say on it today but must tomorrow cus I got to lose weight.....

Hope you had a decent day and leaving you a ((( ))) and a hope your doing ok there? xx

Hey Toni,

Its her shoulder and the vets will be seeing her after the next lot of jabs so I don't need to worry till the end of the month and then, rather not go there just yet.

DD's cope looks a lot better and hopefully will work for her eh? xx

Right saw the gp

being investigated for another ulcer, going back to the gastos and have also got the intacostrial thing confirmed. Off the anti inflammatories and have huge amounts of swelling in the wists already and the knee cus I fell on it as well as the lumber.

I did sat to her it doesn't feel like an ulcer but she say its a different place so doesn't feel like the rest have. Will have to see eh?

Going to go find somewhere warm and taking the axe though I haven't had the pregabs cus I am very late remembering them and don't want to head rush, hallucinate or just have nightmares.

Oh the plus side the pony still hasn't escaped again..... I did see her walking the banks though so will have to keep my fingers crossed she is still there in the morning.......

julie47

Morning chris
