So today Denyse said "Maybe you could set an alarm on your phone to remind you to think of another one tomorrow?" to remind me to look out and see a cheerful thing. So with my phone I recorded "Find summat cheerful", clicked various buttons and tomorrow (and every day after that) at 10AM my phone says to me "Find summat cheerful. beep. beep. Find summat cheerful"

Cheerful

So Denyse emailed me s'morning and said that I need to concentrate on what was making me feel good today. So I thought "Erm..... what?" and then 5 mins later got into Amazon/PrimeMusic/90'sDance and have been listening to it ever since.

That's what is making me smile s'morning

Especially when I wanted to leave the room. So I went to Amazon..... on my phone and made it play from there

What Fun

And s'afternoon we are going a Aqua Aerobics again.

"How pleased am I?" ha said sarcastically

Lordy. My sarcasm is beaten. I nearly, NEARLY, enjoyed getting better in't water today

Sneaky Gym

So then when Denyse and Timmy left I said "Right, lunchtime". Roy said "Nip to gym". I said "No, I can't, if we have some lunch then by the time I have digested it will be nap time, then it will be full of kids"

But he was kind of insistent, we nipped, did that normal speed on the bike for 2 mins then go like fu*k for 30 secs then repeat for 20 mins. Lordy, dunno about time etc but I was panting less when I finished

Torn

Lordy I am torn. So Denyse is coming to see me in a bit and I am trying to think of what to say to her. (I suspect there is *no* point with "Will you marry me?") But it's like I am so dissatisfied with many parts of my life but they are parts that were so "off the beat" that I couldn't have even considered it a while ago. As I am SO MUCH BETTER now I shouldn't complain about issues, just be glad that I can even think now.

Well she came, and Timmy came in too and we had a conference. It was OK, we talked about my issues etc.

BUT she still wouldn't marry me

WTF?

And what the flip was this ad that popped up on my iPad last night?

Weather

And having been outside tonight it is, significantly, just a bit chilly as opposed to fecking freezing which it has been for a couple of weeks.

Dunno, apparently the cold will be back in a few days but.....

Special Pocket

And today when we were out my eyepatch elastic broke. So I reached into my bumbag, went to the "secret" pocket at the back and took out a new one, still in it's wrapper.

Then later when I was back home I replaced the emergency patch with another new one out of the cupboard

Buying Mini Ice Creams

So we popped out tonight to get some more mini-ice cream lollies. So I bought 2 packets so they should last nearly a month. AND in the same shop we bought 2 bleaches as it was so cheap we didn't just get the one we needed. So petty cash card bought that

Dinner

And for dinner tonight we had baked potatoes with that veggie bollock knees as I am a bit short of pasta ATM but it was fecking delicious, even nicer than with pasta.

So perhaps it needs a different name but who knows

Wimming

And at lunchtime we are off to the swimming pool for exercises.

Hoo-fscking-ray

And I did it. Swimming and various walking and stretching exercises.

But today I swam 10 lengths for the first time since my accident. And it seems easier, I wasn't panting etc when I had finished.

STILL Reading

And I have just finished another Pratchett book, lordy this Kindle machine makes it possible once more. Can't believe I couldn't for SO long...... but it's hard deciding "What next?"

He moaned again, I think it is almost identical to the moan I had when finished the book before this one....

Not Fatter

So this week despite having a night out at Iechyd Da (inc beer) and the Headway Christmas Lunch (with cheesecake) my weight hasn't gone up this week.

It is the same as last week but I see that as progress

Early Cooking

And I cooked tonight's and tomorrows dinner before lunchtime so it has time to simmer in the pot so it will all mix together and go down into the heat etc. It is my main "cooking" project, bigger than the pizza and I need to chop and grate more stuff

But peeling with my right hand, it is still 3 or 4 times quicker than last week, I am still getting better in so many small ways so fast that I must have been fscked to begin with

And actually it was nicer than last weeks, my herb/spice comb was spot on, which can't be bad

Fscking Solitaire

Lordy, I have just had to play the same game of solitaire three times before I actually won it. So now I can shut my eyes, I have been in bed now for fscking ages

Cruising For A Bruising

Then today on the toe that I hurt in the pool on Wednesday, which doesn't really hurt now, there is a huge bruise below the half nail bit.

The photo that I took a couple of days later but you can still see the bruise below the nail on my big toe

Out For Lunch

And we are going out for lunch to a nice pub towards Swansea as it is the Headway Xmas Party

And we took it over pretty much but we had a pleasant enough feed paid for by Headway Swansea. But it was so big I am gonna have bread roll and some salad for dinner, as in my usual lunch

And I still felt as full as a full thing after a roll and sum salad for dinner

Oh and we were in the pub but it was lunchtime so I had a bottle of mineral water to drink

P&C4T

And as Timmy was working last night when I fetched my food home, tonight it is na'an bread pizza and chips for tea.

VBG

Classwards

So I am off to my only gym class for the week today at Leisure Centre after an early lunch etc

Gosh, that was hard work but I did it. I was speaking to Sam afterwards and she did say "Yes it might seem difficult now but every time you repeat it, as you are doing, it sinks into your brain and becomes automatic so you will be able to do it without this concentration that you are complaining about" 

Iechyd Da

So me and Timmy the not-folk-fan went to Iechyd Da Folk Night last night. As I was eager to get going we sat there staring into space for a bit but later loads of musicians showed up and no-one was a disappointment, a variety of styles
