My Word of the Week

This week my word is delicate, because that’s how I’m feeling.

a wilting flower and the word delicate

At the time of writing this I’m so tired I can barely keep my eyes open. I’ve tried to go back to sleep but I can’t. My mind won’t take the rest it needs and I have a poorly Little Man besides me. He is the reason for my tiredness having kept me awake half the night because he was sick. We will take it easy today and hopefully tomorrow we both won’t be feeling so delicate.

Also, we were in another car accident last Saturday, not as bad as the last but we still took a bump. I have much worse whiplash than before and can barely move my neck, while my shoulders feel sore and tender. Graham is feeling the same, so we are both feeling pretty delicate.

I had my treatment in hospital on Monday and although I had a massive migraine afterwards it did pass by the next day. There are after effects though, my head always feels fuzzy for a day or two and my arms are really sore this week after a few failed attempts at my cannula. So even more reasons to feel delicate.

The best thing to do when feeling delicate is to rest and recover and remember that it doesn’t last forever. Feeling sorry for yourself is often frowned upon, but when you feel like this your emotions take a bashing too. So, I’m going to treat myself delicately and hopefully I’ll be feeling strong again soon.

I hope your week has been better, do let me know.

My Word of the Week

My Word of the Week this week is teeth.

Last weekend I had a dream that my teeth were falling out. It was horrible, I could feel my mouth full of broken teeth and I was trying to spit out all the debris. 

I had a feeling there was a meaning behind this dream so I checked it out. When it comes to interpreting dreams it’s best to take what you read and see how it actually applies to you. It also helps to read the positive as well as the negative. I think the reason I looked it up is because my Mum always said that if you dreamed of your teeth falling out it meant there was going to be a death! I can relate to some of the things in the interpretation and I’m pretty sure it doesn’t mean that someone is about to meet their end.

Do you like to interpret your dreams?

I had a visit to the dentist this week. I really don’t mind going to the dentist but I do wish there was an easier one to access nearby. The one I go to has a high step at the entrance. You can ask for a ramp, but there is no room for a wheelchair once inside anyway. The surgery is upstairs but they see me in the hygienist clinic which is downstairs. 

I don’t go in my wheelchair so I have to walk, but I can’t park outside, the nearest road is about 5 metres away. I know that doesn’t sound far to you, but it’s a long way for me to walk. Probably my limit, especially outside. 

Just a few short years ago I used to zip around this shopping centre on a regular basis. How life changes. (This can also be related to my earlier teeth dream.)

Back to the teeth. As I said, I’m not worried about the dentist, even the needles, noise and smell don’t bother me. My dentist has recently left the practice so I was introduced to the new lady who seems really nice.  The check-up went well, no problems this time. That’s me done for six months.

My Word of the Week

This week has been Halloween week and we started off on Monday by going to a local farm for Pumpkin Carving.  The kids love this event and Becketts Farm is a fabulous place to visit and just up the road from us.

We didn’t actually complete the carving at the event but we made a good start and finished the pumpkins off at home.

What do you think? We have two Pokemon, Salandit and Mimikyu done by Star and Boo. The Little Man went for something a little easier, a spooky cat. (He did manage to finish his at the event.)

Pumpkin

So my word of the week this week is Pumpkin of course. We didn’t do any recipe’s with the pumpkin’s innards because I’m the only member of the family that actually likes to eat it. We did make some spooky Halloween biscuits though.

Now it’s over to you, come and tell us how your week has been.

I’m trying a new badge this week, please let me know if you have any issues with it.

My Word of the Week

a zebra in a golden field and the word 'Awareness' in bold

This week my word of the week is Awareness. We had our yearly awareness day for Stiff Person Syndrome on Wednesday 24th October. I had worked really hard making two videos and 20 images complete with facts about Stiff Person Syndrome. 

On the day I tweeted from the Stiff Person Syndrome account all day and shared my videos. We had quite a few new people find our Facebook group which is good. Support is vital when you have a condition that hardly no-one has ever heard of.

Here is one of the awareness videos I edited.

Now, it’s over to you, come and tell us how your week has been.

My word of the week this week is;

The word manic in purple
Manic

It’s been pretty manic around here this week. I’ve had my day in hospital, we’ve been decorating (which didn’t go well and had to be redone) and we have a visitor from Germany staying over, a friend of my eldest daughter.

Then I’ve had to deal with repair men and utility suppliers as well as a ton of blog work to do. I’m also swamped in videos and information that I have to get ready for the Stiff Person Syndrome Awareness Day next week. At times I’ve felt quite overwhelmed.

I’m hoping for a nice peaceful weekend for some relaxing and reflecting.

Now, it’s over to you, come and tell us how your week has been.

A little Note About Positive Reviews on Raisie Bay

A little Note About Positive Reviews on Raisie Bay

Some people only write reviews when things go wrong with products, which is good because it lets people know that there could be potential problems. I’ve also seen negative feedback with say things like, I had to return this item because the colour did not suit me…is this useful?

I write reviews on most items I buy because I like to give genuine feedback. If I have a genuine problem with a product I will write my review in the appropriate place.

I write reviews on my blog too, but they are mostly positive. Why? Because I only write reviews for the things I’ve loved. If I don’t love them I let the person who sent me them know with details why and then let them decided if they would rather me write a negative review or not write one at all. It’s always the latter.

This is my blog, my place and I’ll let you know about the things I love. If you want to find out what other people have hated about the product then you will need to look elsewhere.

My reviews may all be positive, but they are still genuine.

Where to next?
