Just a Quickie

It was cold here last night and I woke about 5.00 a.m. this morning perished I quickly flung the quilt back on and snuggled down.  Today or should I say this morning was dull grey and cold - I ended up putting a jumper and trousers on and by the middle of the afternoon was far too warm - just cannot win with the weather round here.  I understand other parts of the country have had a nice warm sunny day.  Lucky them.  I am hoping the weather is going to improve over the next few days or so

All went well at the Doctors apart from the Nurse I managed to draw wasn't very good at getting my blood  my vein collapsed and wasn't giving any blood up and I had two tests being carried out; she was a bit rough with one of the other procedures I had to have which was uncomfortable.  But at least its over with now just have to wait for the results.

Then I was wheeled in to see the Doctor I  updated him as to what had been happening - got my medication sorted have been prescribed Omeprazole 20mg gastro resistant capsules have to have two a day  so will see how we get on as I do get a great deal of discomfort usually mid evening and I don't eat large meals or any huge amount because of a stricture that prevents me swallowing food in fact it gets stuck and then I feel like I am choking its usually bread, chips or dry foods that cause the problem.  Will just have to see how we get on.

I really fancy going to a car boot or descending on a charity shop to have a good old mooch about but I don't think OH will be accommodating in this respect.  I love going to places like that or finding "treasures" or materials to have a go at making things myself. The creative streak is pulsing strong in me at the moment, but to create I always need time on my own when I can play to my heart's content and just go with the muse without someone telling me I am doing things wrong or trying to help.  Sometimes with the greatest respect in the world having other people around can be a hindrance and a restriction in the nicest possible way if you get what I mean. 

I think I am going to have to look into seeing when I go back to the Doctors whether he will sign me off so that I can learn to drive. Its been about three years since I last had a do. I need to be able to get around under my own steam and so if there is somethign I want to do I could clear off and do my own thing as it were.  I get so frustrated when I cannot do the things I really want to do and others are not cooperative in helping me do things because they are not interested.  I have only one life, life is not a rehearsal but should be an adventure to experience new challenges, new lessons and about living life to the full.  Its about expansion and growth and one of the ways I have achieved this in the past is by taking up something new or experiencing new situations, new challenges.  Like when I went Belly Dancing!  But that's another story.  When you learn things with people of a like mind you tend to end up having a lot of fun and making what I call "warts n all friendships" with people who are in your life for good.  People who accept you just for yourself and don't try to change you or make you conform

I am going to compile a list of things to do before I die  consisting of things that I would really like to do or am interested in and then see what I can achieve from thereon in.  I'd love to hear of what you would like to do too.

Catch you all soon
