Hey Cordy | Arthritis Information

 

How are things down there??  Is your house dried out yet/Hey Link,

No, house is still wet, or lounge room carpet is...yuk. God a tarp over it. It's not raining anymore but not fine weather yet either so the carpet is starting to smell. It is generally a mess still. I shall have to get onto my property manager today and get them to sort this carpet out. It will need to be steamed dried probably.

Apart from that I am exhausted, fatigued and from all the stress my feet swelled up again like puffballs in the last two days. I am pissed because they had gone down in the last two weeks and now...stress so effects us.

And then my car wouldn't start again yesterday and it turned out the battery was really going and had died...argh! More expense. More to deal with.

I am not really enjoying life at the moment, Link, I just feel I deal with one problem after another and it just doesn't seem to stop. This is getting me down a lot.

Today my goal is to attempt to actually get my kitchen clean and tidied so I can actually make food in there, lol, while fighting off the fatigue I am feeling from the RA. Then I have a massive to do list and I will try to tackle one or two items from that. I am sure all of that will take me until three when school is out.

Sorry for whining...and thank you for asking how things are.

 

 WOW Cordy I'm jumping in to say how sorry I am for all thats happening to you. Bless your heart

I sure hope things turn around for the better soon. You need a break!

Good lord Cordy. You need a vacation, BAD!!! I'm sorry hun :( :(
Cordy, I want to come and rescue you.  Give you a dry place to sleep, some of this warm sunshine we have here.  And a nice cup of tea.  Or shot of your favorite hard stuff, which ever would help more What I am grateful for though, is that during this time I have had some emergency money in the back to fix the things I have needed too. Normally being a poor single mother who can't work due to RA, I have nothing as back up at all and would have had to be on the phone to my parents begging...which makes me feel like garbage even though they would help. I got a small amount back from Social Security a while back and kept 0 for emergencies, so at least I have been able to get the computer fixed and a new car battery. I have to count my blessings I really do, Cordy, sorry you're having it tough right now.  Sometimes stress feels like a piece of elastic that has NO stretch left in it all all, and any minute it's going to snap.  And that's without the RA stuff.  I know from my own experience that being a single mum is not easy in lots of ways, but especially when things go wrong.  Otherwise it can be quite liberating at times  That is a good description of stress, Kiwi, and exactly how I feel at the moment.

No, single parenting is not easy but I also feel the liberation of it as well...I know exactly what you mean, I don't have to share the TV with anyone for a start,

I think Cordelia needs a group hug. I've been a single mom, and it was one of the hardest things to go through, yet liberating, as you described. My hat is off to you my dear. You will get through this rough patch!!

Do they have rent-a-husbands down under??

Chin up honey~you can do this!

Debbie, here in NZ we have "Hire-A-Hubby", but they're getting about as expensive as other tradesmen now.

Now I got lucky, my ex and I are on quite good terms now, and when he was out of work a while ago, I got him to do some jobs for me around the place, and paid him "mates rates".  It was great, and I knew that I could trust him in my house when I was at work so didn't have to stay home.  Probably just as well, cos I probably would have told him he was going the wrong way about it Yeah, I think we do have them but yeah, they are expensive. I think I am back to the genie idea 

I am sorry things are getting worse, Cordy! I hope you they all get straightened out soon.

Much Luv and Huggs you too.Vacation. Thanks, Joonie. You are having your own dramas at the moment, too, love.

I am usually pretty up but this run is sure getting me down. I am so glad of all of your support. Hmmm...money. Money is a problem. That's why I'm suggesting I just stay under duvet and hide.  Permanent vacation? LOL I know I know. Just trying to make you smile!!! And you did.
