My other concern is that for two days I am going to be on my own! Luke is on holiday and Richard, in his usual inimitable way, has booked himself out and is away Tuesday night! It is a long time since I have been left alone and I will admit that I am worried. I know this sounds daft, but it concerns me greatly that should I be really unwell with my Fibro, I have nobody here to help me! And one of the things that makes my Fibro worse is stress! Why are men so stupid, why do they think only of themselves (and I mean Richard, not Luke, his holiday was booked months ago, Rich booked this appointment last month!!), as someone who is self employed it is up to him when he works, so he could have arranged this appointment for a different time!
With the added worry comes the problem of walking the dog, with the weather as it is right now, I am not very happy about having to walk her, but it will have to be done, you cannot expect a black Labrador to go without her walks! However, I will carry on, and hopefully all will be well!
I have spent a bit of time today sorting through old photo albums that Luke got out of the loft for me. Wow it was an eye opener! Some of the pictures go back to when I was a baby, and pictures of me as a young girl, it was strange seeing them!
These are the pictures, and because they have been stuck in a book, I daren't remove them for fear they will fall apart so please excuse them being so small!
The pictures above are of me as a baby, about 1, and then me aged 7 at school!
These pictures above are various ages, me as a baby in my crib, I am the one on the left at the front on the next picture with my sister Liz and the girls on the right are Laura and Janis, my mum's friends children, then me in the daft hat with my pushchair, and the bottom two are of me on holiday in Blackpool, playing on the trampolines! The picture below is me with my wonderful mum, at Stanley Park in Blackpool.
The picture below is the school photo when I was at Dunsmore, and I am 7 rows from the front, 8 in from the right handside of the picture! See if you can find me!!
The picture below is when I was about 17, with my friend Sheila, who I am still in touch with today! In fact we went on holiday together last year! We had been to the pub on a Saturday lunchtime and afterwards we went to Woolies and had our pics taken in the booth! The daft things you do when you are a teenager!
The picture below is me and my hubby, this was taken in 1982, when our friends Alan and Karen, got married. I was Matron of Honour, as I was already married, and hubby was Best Man!
As I looked back at these pictures I realised just how lucky I was, I had a lovely childhood, I had a great time growing up as a young girl, with some great friends, and now I have a wonderful hubby and sons! For all my problems with my joints, my pain, my difficulties, I am blessed, and this is how I will cope with my difficult week ahead!
Aw Sharon I wished I lived closer xxxx As for Jess, our dogs are resiliant and she will know you are in pain how about keeping her in and playing some games with her instead. I loved your pics, I wished my early life had been so happy.... but despite it all I have had my animals and my good friends xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Sara, I will see how it goes with Jess, even if I just take her to the field and stand on the path and let her run, it is better than nothing! I loved seeing all the pics, and I am lucky that my childhood was so happy, I just wish I had realised it at the time!
DeleteSharon, I too wish that I lived closer. Just wish I could give you a big hug and take all your pain away sweetpea. Loved looking at all your photos.I think Sara is absolutely right-I'm sure that Jess will cope with one day of not walking. love you Debsxxxxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Debs, I am sure I will be ok, it is just that added worry of coping on my own! I try so hard not to let things get to me, but once in a while they do! Jess is such a good dog, she is by my side constantly, I don't know what I would do without her! xxx
