My inner child

Your Inner Child Is Scared
Like a kid, you tend to shy away from new experiences.You prefer what's tried and true - novelty is scary!New foods, new places, and new friends are difficult for you to deal with.Some say you're predictable, but you enjoy being comfortable.

Monday morning headache

I can't sleep....try as i might. I have a terrible headache....i've taken stuff for it, used a warm bag on my head/neck and shoulders.... put some Rub A535 on my forhead, neck and shoulders and still it will not ease up.

I have a lot on my mind...mainly things to do with mother. We've been at each other again, things to do with the past, present and even the future. I don't have all the answers...and i'm sure feeling the pressure.

I'm off to watch some mindless entertainment..ie, the Big Brother live feeds....i hope i will sleep soon.

Sunday morning early

I feel much better right now. Instead of going to bed i had a nice, long (over an hour) bath. I read a magazine and just laid back. It really helped my shoulders and neck and my head is a bit better too.

Now i'm off to bed for sure...goodnight blog.

Saturday night

It's been a rough weekend so far.



Mother and my sister had an argument on Friday night. Over what...something trivial but my mother can't leave anything alone and just picks and picks at everyone. Needless to say, it's an uncomfortable weekend.



I think i'll go to bed and hopefully wake up to a better day tomorrow.

Thursday, hooray!

I have such a headache today...and my neck and shoulders are so tense. I need a massage.
Oh to be able to afford such a luxury.

Laundry awaits me but i am putting it off to sit here and type this. I have to wash my hair before i dare step out and do it though...so i really need to get myself into gear this morning.

I was up late, into the wee hours talking with P on the phone. We even played a bit of cribbage online on pogo. He skunked me twice, is a very good player. Certainly out of my league but i still enjoy playing.

Mother is eating her breakfast now. She is having three, count 'em, three crumpets and a cup of tea and milk. She is hungry this morning...and already looking for lunch.

She has been unwell lately, coughing up phlegm, both yellow and green. Not good...she worries me. Doctor sent some antibiotics two days ago. I hope she does better soon but i do worry about the progression of her disease...and worry what's to come.

She's been worried about me lately because i've been crying. She worries when i am like that, worries i am not taking my medication, worries someone i might have met online is hurting me. She doesn't like me being online but it's my link to the world and i won't give it up.

Must get my hair washed and get myself going...

Welcome to my new blog, i hope you'll like it here.

This is just a blog about the days and nights of a lonely woman, caring for my elderly mother.

We love each other but we have our ups and downs. We share an apartment with my oldest sister S and her youngest son M. Life is hard some days and easy some others...we've never been a close family and i miss what that would mean to me. We don't hug, we don't talk or comfort each other. We are each our own island, co-existing with the other.

I hope this blog will be an outlet for me to express my feelings and emotions or just to talk about my life.
