Senior woman vacuuming carpet in a living room

This week has been full of ups and downs, and some of the downs have been spectacularly bad. After everything I have had to put up with the past year, I thought I had beaten the miseries, but it turns out I am human after all. But enough about that…

I have been doing some gardening and I even managed to run the vacuum cleaner around the place, carefully of course. I am almost up to date with summer pruning the bonsai, and they are finally looking really good and growing well.

My new pain meds arrived and first impressions are favourable. I think they are going to help a lot with the pain in my head.

I am not so sure about my eyes however, as the blurring and double vision has been the source of a lot of frustration, stopping me from enjoying what I love best, and that’s my writing.

Somehow I am managing, but really wish there was something they could do. Well, apparently there is, but I am too old and frail for surgery. Their words, not mine.

Next week, I have volunteered to replace the fitted cushion on our favourite stool. I have the fabric, foam and wadding, all I have to do, is assemble it. This involves getting the sewing machine out, which should be fun. It’s been years since I was an upholsterer, so more things to try and remember!

Thanks for listening, love Jaye

    1. Definitely, Widds… even if just for the hopes that it wont be the last…

  3. Glad to hear you may have some pain relief that works! The upholstery project sounds hard, but I’ve never attempted it. Good luck!

  4. ah, the adage once a wadder, always a wadder, springs to mind! xx

    1. What is a wadder?

      1. oh, just a silly comment addressing the wadding step on your pending project

  5. I find I can’t look at a screen for more than a couple of hours now before my right eye becomes watery and sore. I just do what I can do when I can do it.

    1. Same here, but keeping calm is proving difficult, Stevie…
