Tired but safe, warm and well fed. Need to start tackling this bombsite of a house - with everything that happened with my health starting just before new year's I haven't had a tidy up or clean since before Christmas, been taking all my energy just to stay alive. Suppose it's a sign of getting better I'm at least noticing and planning to take action. I picked up an empty chocolate box full of used wrappers and put it in the bin earlier - it's a start 😀 But I will do my usual 30 minute tasking starting tomorrow, as trying to do all at once will be too daunting and lead to procrastination.

right now tackling a pain spike, 7 out of 10 so not bad but it still sucks lol. it will go down soon though i'm pretty sure. otherwise doing really good. daughter and her nice hubby are coming next week so that will be nice. i'm concerned about one of my kids hitting a rough spot and trying to help this child, but i can only do so much. life sucks at times but life can be a beautiful thing if we look more at the positives and don't let the hard things in life crush us.

That is true about the the positives. Let the high times carry some of the load of the low times. :)

Concerned. Went out for a good run, and glanced at my roof on the way back in, then took a photo so I could zoom in. Looks like chimney flashing on one side went in the last storm, and might be in need of repointing. Add that to the unidentified issue with the slates turning white on part of the roof, and I have a few headaches to sort out. Hopefully I won't need a new roof and a new chimney - that worst case scenario would be financially devastating for me. I was always planning to get a roofer out in March anyway, so might just bring it forward a bit. God knows how much it will cost. Hopefully it's not on the verge of falling down, at least no rain seems to be coming in. 😟 At least I'm not panicking - a couple of weeks ago noticing this would have finished me off, at least I'm physically and mentally stable at the moment.
 
Really stupid for bringing up anything to do with politics because the person I'm renting from absolutely freaks out. I messed up and broke the rule.
It's shocking to me how politics can ruin relationships and friendships. We are all different n see n experience differently. i wish more can see that n not push personal views on each other to the point of ending relationships/friendships just because someone thinks/feels differently. (just to be clear, not pushing this view onto others lol just wishing)

yes, I may have just ruined this one. I'm an idiot.

You're human. 9 years ago I ruined a friendship over Brexit. Well it seemed I did, a friend of some 20 years emailed me and said they were finding the Leave vote disturbing - then said they'd voted Leave and asked if I did? I said no, and went on a bit about why, saying I thought Remain was more compassionate, probably got on my high horse a bit. Never heard from her again 😟 I regret it now, but we all make mistakes in the moment despite the best of intentions. I hope this settles down quickly for you. I do try to avoid politics, and think we should be able to disagree on things without falling out, but "they" haven't set it up like that, it feels like some kind of zero sum game where people severely "other" people with different views. Try not to be too hard on yourself!
