Week 31/2023: Menopause in four acts
Week of 31 July 2023 An overwhelming week Things have been getting intense. Lil Sis and I have been avoiding going through our mother’s place now that she’s no longer living there, but the time has now come where we have to do it. I normally write each week’s...
Week 30/2023: A week at home. And going out too many times.
Week of 24 July 2023 A week at home The care factor As I wrote last week, Slabs had a surgery that has meant he’s been off his feet all week. The original plan was I would work from home this week to be able to help him with...
Week 29/2023: The pain did not abate
Week of 17 July 2023 The pain did not abate I mean, this is getting ridiculous. I have, as far as I know, no injury, yet my right leg is causing me a world of pain, in which sitting down hurts, standing up hurts and moving around relieves it...
Week 28/2023: Backs and shoulders, arms and eyes (part 2)
Week of 10 July 2023 Backs and shoulders. Well, really, just backs. This is where I write an update about how great I’m doing with my shoulder exercises and how much better my back is feeling right? Well, actually no. Nothing has got better and, if anything, it’s got...
Week 27/2023: Backs and shoulders, arms and eyes
Week of 3 July 2023 Backs, shoulders and arms This week I was going to write about how well I was doing putting last week‘s shoulder exercise habits back into place. But, well, I’m not. Last weekend, I decided to very helpfully over-exert my back when I was emptying...
Week 23/2023: Back to back
Week of 5 June 2023 Back to my back This week I had an appointment of some sort every day except Monday, including a double-up on Friday, when I also had to take my mother to an appointment. I went to the physio for the first time in a...
Week 19/2023: It feels like
Week of 8 May 2023 It feels like The weeks are going by so fast and there’s no way of slowing anything down. Before I’ve had time to process one week, the next week has started and before I know it, that’s over too, and I’ve done nothing I...
Week 17/2023: Sunrise
Week of 24 April 2023 Another week of work and medical appointments And a day off on Tuesday, which was nice. I have some new physiotherapy exercises to do now while I wait for the results of the MRI on my lower spine. Isn’t this fun?! Week 10 summary...
Week 15/2023: The air we breathe
Week of 10 April 2023 I love short weeks! I mean, with a public holiday the week isn’t any shorter but I have more of it to myself. So it’s actually a longer week from that perspective. We had visitors over the easter break and what else do you...
Week 14/2023: A slow, painful week
Week of 3 April 2023 A slow down This week I was going to try out Laura Vanderkam’s idea of creating backup slots in my week to allow for unexpected things that might derail me. I didn’t end up doing it because Friday was a holiday and I didn’t...
